How can you drop Groves? Taken 14 wickets from 6 games and is the heart of the Wanderer.
Smith is the permanent number 3 so your a muppet if your thinking that.

As much as we'd love the 4 Manns in the one side I highly doubt that will happen.

Think logically Ryan. I understand you may have done this once or twice in your life.

Temple gives you maturity, experience and is a team player. Groves is a individual, and therefore, unreliable.

Smith is still celebrating his erly season runs against a second-rate side. Like Temple, Stacey (who you didn't talk about), gives you experience, maturity and believes in the NEW team - Smith is all about Smith.

B Monger is the uncertainty here - do you go with him or put Jarrod in for his fighting spirit?

Thursday night should read:

IN - Temple, Stacey, J Mann
OUT - Smith, Groves, B Monger, Chini's opinion.

Thank you very young man. Well, if you are right about Smith, he should give up his spot for the wanderer cause. Bet he doesn't. So much for you elevating him to HERO STATUS, HERO STATUS, HERO STATUS.

Why are you not talking about Stacey's form & how well he would fit into the GF side? Why no comment on B Monger? Have you lost your fondness for Temple?

Come on Ryan, show some guts. Make the call on Stacey v Smith, Temple v Groves, Jarrod Mann v B Monger.

Some of us have been talking about this outside the canteen for weeks. See you tonight.

Re: DVCA Money Shield

A.Stacey although has had a good year in the two's/three's is a player who will always be a good two's player but isnt quite up to playing ones.hes a fringe player and has never made a run in A grade when he's been given the opportunity. Now as for old man temple, these days he's seen drinking melbourne bitters outside the eltham bowls club with his best mate "jose", his best cricket is past him and is now known to even bowl the odd double bouncer, his body creaks when he walks and he makes all the young kids uneasy, i dont no but i think the side will stay un changed.

Re: DVCA Money Shield

Re: DVCA Money Shield

indeed that would be quite interesting, on another note, jack young was the x factor in the semi, excellent bowling performance, and a very handy knock bringing the wanderers back into it. Set to continue his form into the GF!
 
Re: DVCA Money Shield

It's not junior talk :S

Daily Observer I'm in no place to make calls on who plays and who doesn't. I'm only worried about the result we get on the weekend, fingers crossed!

before you go jumping to conclussions "MK", Craig found it a bit difficult to play last week, as he had 6 or 7 stitches in his finger, and had surgery on it straight after the end of the round 11 match, due to not gloving one cleanly !
Craig is a great mate of mine, and he is also a great fit at The Bat, so you might just wanna check your facts before you start slagging off mate !

-holzer needs to pull his weight
- Shaw, well alot of pressure is put on this fella this week,wants big bucks and hasnt proved why,,will it be this week that he does
-mobilia...well what can be said.legend of the game but how will he fair, honest batsmen and a very smart bowler should be good to watch
-and Ronnie well we all no how he performs in granny's dont we?
-willo will back up simo and chuck and should have an honest game

NEW
-al man legend of the game,21 last week and a consistent year for him very experienced.
-jesse smith,alot of pressure on him this week,can he prove critics wrong and show he's not a one game player?
-jack young was apparently the difference last week with bat and ball,hitting form at the right time.
-Austin mann, SUperstar!!!best bowler in the comp by a mile will do damage.
_groves well, crowd favourite?dont think so but can work really well or not at all
-duckworth,hit or miss only played six games but reminds me of the late mick grizzly bear



So should be set for a super granny i think with it being decided on the final day?

J. Mann vs B. Monger doesn't make any sense. Jabba is an opening bowler, and Monger is a middle order batsman.

Cmon Geno I think most educated people in this thread who know Money Shield cricket know this isnt the case. Good bowler yeah, honest....sure. But I reckon I could name 6 bowlers without blinking who would be better.

Here's some stats to verify/disprove your theories & some of my own.

NE Wanderers.

Al Mann - averages 25 against the top 5 teams this year, highlighted with a 70 against Yarrambat. NE will want him to replicate that form again. Good bloke, hardly legend of the game pal. Has he become the new captain aroldyte, taken the ball out of Collicoats hand and has been seen bowling a lot more this year.

J Smith - only saw him twice this year both times on a flat dead wicket, 19 and Golden 0. Averages 16 against the top 5 teams this year, not very convincing. very young and 150 against Hurstbridges bowling attack shows he can make runs against decent bowlers - NE and he will expect more from himself this week.

J.Young - good young cricketer, averaging 16 against the top 5 teams this year like Smith, very hand to have batting at 9. Was the pick of the bowlers last week by a country mile, so much that NE had to rely on pie throwers like B.Monger to bowl until Jack could come back from his forced spell. Being a U19 player, bowls limited spells so 14 wickets for the year has been a decent return. Not sure how he will bowl on the newer style pitch at Hursty, however will need 2-3 wickets for them to win the game.

Aussie Mann - Superstar, your kidding right? averaging 27 against the top 4 teams this year with the ball, hardly convincing figures for an opening bowler. Another thing you didn't mention was his brotherly love and commitment to the team. When whe has getting hit around last week and his brother Pete dropped a catch, he went on to bag the shit of him. Hardly the type of player you want in your team. What bowler seriously walks around all day asking his teammates, "Am I the unluckiest bowler ever or what"? Needs to rid himself of worrying about just his game and commit to the team. In saying that, a couple nice hits on the weekend got them across the line. Lets see if he can do it with the ball this week, NE will surely need him to!

Groves - Agree with you on the crowd favourite thing, probably up there as one of the most hated players, renowned for being a cockhead but seems to have changed his ways lately, and was pretty sportsman like on the weekend. He is a proven wicket taker, however will need to bowl above the speeds I have seen the Women bowling at in the 09 Womens world cup, seems to be bowling very slow. Expect players like Shaw and Holzer to slog him through Cow. Fills the spot that BT had for so long.

Duckworth- Keeps okay and a handy batsman at 7 averaging 25 against finals teams. North Eltham will expect the same contribution again.

Other players to watch will be Naidoo, and you left out Collicoat, NE best allrounder.

Yarrambat

Simo Bray - averages 30 with the bat against the teams who made the finals, recent form has returned 3 50's in 5 games. averages 17 with the ballagainst the top 5 teams, all round contribution required if Yarrambat are to win. If I was Al Mann and NE, chop them off at the HEAD, Bray is it. If Bray makes nothing, the game will be won there and then. Good young player, hope he does well but feel as though he is due for a fail, he has been so consisten this year.

Stewart - averages 20 with the bat against the teams who made the finals, including a 78 against SF, not convincing. If NE get Simo out earlish, Stewart will no make runs. Must have a strong off side field against him and catch him on the drive. handy off spinner and another one who will need an all round contribution from him if Yarrambat are to win. Hates a sledge too, get into him early.

Shaw - averages around 17 against teams in the finals, hardly a team player who loves to give it out. I would hate to have my house on him to make runs, very much an individual who hits the ball hard and clean, but gives it up fairly regularily. If Mann, Groves can extract some swing, I'd expect it to get through his gate if he is in within the first 20-3 overs. Can bowl a little bit, does so to justify his spot in the team when he bats like a cowboy. Picked up 4 fa last week, impressive, albeit against a team who don't bat well. Yarrambat would love him to get one or two to support Simo & Chuck. Bit of a Jeckal & Hyde, which Shaw will Yarambat get this week?

Mobilia - experienced player, will be interesting to see how he goes, he rates himself pretty highly and has been heard saying "I'm to good for this Money Shield stuff". We'll see how good he really is this week, have the feeling he do a holding role on North Eltham with the ball and will be required to get 20-30 odd for the bats to make a decent total.

Holzer - pull his weight, and some. When was the last time this guy made runs? 4 highest score this year have returned 46, 37, 21, 19. Averages 11 against the finals teams this year, pretty modest to say the least - owes Yarrambat a decent score for showing faith in him all year. Batting down at 4 now, probably a good idea seeing how poor he has been opening this year. ANother one who will say whether or not the Bats post a decent total.

R.Mckweon - Can he be dropped? who will be the first from NE to sledge him regarding grand finals, at your own peril, but jeez it would be funny. Again, Yarrambat have been inconsistent and his batting is a concern like the others. they have many decent cricketers, however against decent bowling teams they have been in trouble early. Rely heavily on their lower order bats and bowlers, must admit pretty soft batting at 9. KOALA BEAR SYNDROME. would love to see a choke and a good sledge, he almost throttled one of our blokes for a sledge this year after being run out.

Other players to watch include Wilson the ****er, and Chipper to get some to help out the top order.

_________________________________________________________

My tip: after North Eltham knocked off the Bats in a close one early in the season, I think both teams are considerably better, Yarrambat are playing better consistent cricket, NE have picked up handy players including Groves and P.Mann. No Reid however after his soft effort at a Junior game this year.... I expect Yarrambat to be too strong if their bats can all chip in with a decent total of 230+

My tip for this weekend

NEW V BATS

This will be a good game of cricket between 2 sides that no one picked to be there at season end. the Bats have 3 keys to wining this game, 1. Bray- has been doing all year for the bats with both bat and ball the team need him to fire if they are a chance of winning alot rides on the young kids shoulders 2. Stewart- is there best bat and when gets going is very hard to control, hits the ball hard is the X factor in the side if he makes 80+ they will win 3. Mobilla - the experience in a young side if he can lead the young guys keeping there heads in the game they will get over the line, he takes his cricket very seriously and gives 100% everytime he walks on the field him and bray with the new ball need to do the damage early for them.
NEW have 2 keys 1. Al Mann- has made there runs all year at top of the order and has for a few years now, he is the captain and if he gets going early he will lift the young players giving them confidence to follow him. a good bloke the best bloke in the team by a mile and always gives a 100% 2. Collicoat - All rounder sare important in a team and he is one is very handy with the bat and ball if he can take 3-4 wickets and support Al with the bat New will be very tough to beat good cricketer hasnt had the best season by his standards but there is no better way of making up for that and doing in the GF and he can do that.

After all that my tip is Yarrambat to go to barclay only just i feel they have a bit more finals experience on there side

good luck to both sides and most of all enjoy the experience

Re: DVCA Money Shield

good post nudie,however sticky i think your being a bit harsh on aussie mann.he is a great bowler and can change a game very quickly much like yourself guttto,especially on one of those new pitches like hursty,playing in the same side as him he is a pleasure to watch, i never seen a bowler have so many play and misses when bowling its unbelievable.but this week should be a good game and both teams have had a good year so should be a good few days...


GENO the wanderer
 
Re: DVCA Money Shield

Hate to ruin a good sledge, but Ronnie was actually dropped for the second semi, not the Grand final.
Was told 30 minutes before the first bounce, after being selected at Full Back.

Good luck to all on the weekend, i've read the reviews and they have provided some great insight, but i don't care what number he bats, Ronny will be the key wicket, as Morang found out last week.
