Dudes and dudettes,
A month or so ago, I posted a discussion about the Riverland. It now appears I could be moving to Mount Gambier or the Riverland.
I've heard your thoughts on the Riverland (was a good place with ABL side, but gone sadly backwards now with almost no basketball to speak of - and better pack the footy boots!).
What about Mount Gambier?

Mount Gambier has a good local comp. Some of the pioneers players play in he comp. They also have a gren triangle competetion in summer. Mt gambiers plays against team from othe south east town as well as portland, hamilton and Warnambool. If you want to know anything else, let me know!

guys play seabl - as you know - senior girls don't compete in any major conferences.
a little more isolated than the riverland - bigger local populations
ie renmark - 8,000, berri 8,000, loxton 7,000, barmera 5,000, waikerie 4,000 - with a sprinkling of small towns - so looking at 35,000 max
mt gambier area 35,000, millicent 6,000, naracoorte 6,000, plus probably another 10,000 from smaller towns - so looking at larger populus to pull from
mt gambier throw money at basketball - ie couple of big imports - yet raiders fell over financially
juniors from riverland play in adelaide more readily - due to closeness - mt gambier further away - so no adelaide - but exposure to more victorian taems
on the whole - mt gambier is a more reputable basketball area than riverland - they also play all year around - riverland only summer

The local comp down there is ok in the SEABL off season as the Pioneers play and a lot of the footballers but once football starts up and SEABL the comp gets a little thin. SEABL comp is a lot better than Central conference and you get to do a lot more travelling as well. What level are you playing at???

Moses,
Vidmar and I have already told you, get down to the Mount. The Icehouse is way better than the riverland stadium. You'll be able to find a decent comp during the week. The Salvos comp will be a distant memory when you get down there.
Plus, you'll have the added bonus of us being able to visit you once in a while!!!
