It's the vibeThey're also unlawful and unconstitutional ,...
It will be gratifying to the subbies executive to have the unanimous support of clubs. It should send a clear message to CV that the subbies ''is not for turning''. However, from the moment Super Saint posted that Phil O'Meara had been ''booted'' fr the panel and not replaced by another subbies person, I concluded CV had already decided the subbies was a lost cause insofar as being persuaded to accept the CV model. I noted the other day on the CV website under Latest News, New Metropolitan Turf Structure in Melbourne, the following:''A formal response and general position on the overall model will be submitted from each association by Monday, March, 23''. I suggest that, following receipt of these reports, the ball will then be firmly back in CV's court to reassess strategy.And Subbies goes bang!!! Unanimously against the CV model...

At the moment the WDCA and the DDCA are in favour
Although the VTCA initially said they were against – they tempered that somewhat to say they were at "the direction of their clubs". The South clubs were almost unanimous in their approval – and from what I heard of the North meeting, there was a similar feeling, if not quite as overwhelming in favour.
No idea about the Eastern – but I reckon weight of numbers will bring them on board
CV will go ahead with this so I don’t think they need to reassess strategy too much – only dilemma being, how do they get the remaining clubs on board. Focus on the struggling VSDCA clubs, withhold grants, whatever it takes – but they will get it done
And there will be no ridiculous handouts after next season what ever happens
If the proposed CV model goes ahead with Subbies, Subbies will provide an alternative to anyone not seeking to play in a regionalised comp and doesn't wish to play premier.
Provided the VSDCA clubs can manage themselves financially, I think both can co-exist.
So for those still wanting to drive all over Melbourne, but not wanting to play a standard as high as prem 1s or 2s? For the Dyed in the wool Subbies people I see that. But, what about my son. If I have a talented 15 year old son. Why would I want him to play at Caulfield rather than South Caulfield in the new world.
Its a fact thoughIs Scratch short for "Scratched Record"? You really do harp on about this when it is very old news.
Well why agree to a structure that has holes in it?
That's the pertinent question. If the VSDCA agreed the model made sense, it would agree to it.
"Hole" - Most subbies clubs would be shitting themselves that they wont be able to compete with the strong "non subbies" clubs, and thus would end up driffting down the grades to where they belong. Where as at the moment they are carried by the subbies concept.That's one take on it, but the vast majority of people I speak to on the topic, believe it a) makes sense and b) is necessary for the betterment of cricket in Victoria.
My reading of the situation, is that the VSDCA/Clubs don't want to change. They like the comp (it is a good comp after all), and its niche position amongst other competitions across Melbourne and don't give a stuff about wider Victorian cricket in general, after all Premier Clubs are the feeders of the State sides.
The VSDCA tried to propose what was effectively its own model back to CV!! In the eyes of CV, the VSDCA is just another local turf competition that overlaps another 5 or so turf competitions that could otherwise be ironed out into a region based competition that reduces travel and easier alligned pathways.
I still haven't really seen these alleged "holes" in the structure that wouldn't otherwise be addressed through the next stage. It is afterall still very much in the conceptual stage.

Its a fact though
Then why was EVERY subbies club rated as Tier 1? I didn't personally agree with every Subbies club being rated that high but they were. One or two might wobble down a grade but the rest would more than hold their own.
You didnt read what i said properly, and actualy you agree with me.Then why was EVERY subbies club rated as Tier 1? I didn't personally agree with every Subbies club being rated that high but they were. One or two might wobble down a grade but the rest would more than hold their own.
