Lot of cricket clubs seem to be struggling for players in the first couple of weeks of the year. Tough when footy clubs have away trips and long weekends around the border area.

Teams looking good for the next season.

Couple of weeks to the season, love to see the line up of some teams? Who will struggle and who will soar up the ladder this year? Not much movement outside of wodonga raiders from what i have heard on here lately.

Hopefully for East Albury they can use this as time to blood some good youngsters in Caleb Barras, Shaun McDonald, Nick Brown, and Harrison Hunter.

Dylan Weeding at Lavington??? Anyone got a read on what has happened at East Albury over the last couple of months? McNeil- Melbourne Hanlon- Melbourne Bridle- Melbourne Popko- Albury Jones- Barny Chiltern Weeding- Lavington???

$5000 is crazy money for 10-15 games of cricket a year?

Football clubs are putting increasing pressure on young blokes, which in turn stops blokes from playing cricket. Young blokes pushing themselves in football spend most of the summer break in the gym. Is it a scheduling issue? Is it a motivation issue?

Few district clubs starting training this weekend, be interested to see how these teams shape up. Provincial draw tough start for a few teams.

Where do you reckon East Albury will end up this year? Barny picking a few up, title contenders?

It is an interesting discussion, i believe more time needs to be put into young people staying with the sport. The amount of 18-25 year olds who leave the sport as they find, other pursuits is incredible. The amount of pressure placed on them to train during football season, in both our...

Jones should bolster Barny/Chilterns attack for the season.

Any clues? Albury Based Side narrows it down to about five or six clubs?

Be interesting to see what comes of the meeting between both district and provincial presidents over the next week. Looking forward to the season, getting some cricket on board. Paper outlining McNeil going to join ex East Albury Crow Will McIntosh at University of Melbourne. Where do you all...

Anyone got early predictions for the flag? District or Provincial? Early prediction is East Albury in Provincial and Barnawartha Chiltern in District. Anyone wish to add?

They maybe coming from a long way back but they have improved by a long way. You are right in saying that reputation is changing in the cricketing community but also reputation is a hard thing to shake. This year will be a big tell, they have showed signs but need consistency as a group both...

Good to see some of the cricketing action starting on the border, preseason is always a juggle for clubs with football having such a big presence in North East Victoria and southern New South Wales. Who is everyone's big mover this year? Both provincial and district? Who is everyone's ladder slider?

Thanks for that lads, good discussion to be had though regarding the willingness some clubs have for success vs the overall clubs finances. Any latest on moves or new players? Both District and Provincial? Any clubs starting to train?

I think the most popular form of payment is through subs and equipment for cricketers, it's always interesting to see the oppositions big recurit with a new bat or spikes at the start of the season. My belief is that cricket clubs turn over and profit margins are not huge in most cases ( could...

Interesting, $100 a game is big. I don't knowmuch about payments as I'm not involved in that side of any sport, where does $100 a game sit in comparison to other deals??? It's especially for a club like Belvoir who have pushed their juniors for a number of years. Does anyone see Belvoir going...

It will be interesting to see how some clubs shape up, with only three months til the start of the season, there are some strong sides, and some who seem to have not had much success recruiting. Provincial looks to be a real mystery, a lot of rumours in player movement but not much concrete...
