Cricket Albury/wodonga (caw)

[big guys don't run]

gee what a start to this thread.rumors a plenty.not sure with raiders they may be pinning all there hopes on the pommy coming over.warriors and wodonga in co-horts is new to me.warriors were a power house and succesful club in early 2000's.they have had a huge player turn over for many reason and if players don't stay the ones that do get older and older.Those players can only run a club for so long. It's hard to build a club when guys don't put up there hands and help. Sometimes a club can be it's own worst enemy.

My theory on cricket albury wodonga is that the best structure is to have say 8 divisions so it's easier to have promotion and relagation.It's how most melbourne comps run and it works well so why don't they have a crack at that. If that's works you can have clubs with 2 sides and still run well.

Great idea in theory, but i think its too complicated for cricket in our area. After the first couple of seasons the standard of cricket will level out and will be easy to manage. I don't mind the promotion/relegation system for senior cricket, but for the junior competitions i would base each comp on geography. For example Tallangatta and Baranduda juniors would play against clubs in the District region, while Howlong and Wodonga based clubs would play in the Provincial region.

it's funny you say that with the juniors.the district comp has been the stronger comp for a few years. by zoning it off would even it out alot more.

it will be interesting this season on how mt beauty go.thy have a big player base and the first will depend on the imports.if they make it.also belvior may have to recuirt a few players to be competitive i think there lower grades will be at the bottom end of the ladder.

I wonder who from the district competition will step up now that two of the powerhouses in the comp are gone? Dederang would have to be flag favourites now wouldn't they? They have picked up an abundance of players that include Midson from Howlong as coach, Julian Day a wicket-keeper/batsmen and Hore, a pacey opening bowler. Signs are looking extremely promising and with Yack losing numerous amounts of players who are moving away for uni, surely Dederang would have to be installed favourites. Apparantly a few players have also started their team slogan "toot, toot all aboard the ranga train, express to the flag, no ticket required".

well horey off to another club. greg norman would be proud that he has used less clubs in his life time.if he goes i wonder if spoons will go??? the ranga's struggled last year but they should go alright with the new players. There secert is that they train one night in town and that makes it easier for townies. yack may have to spend more neville to pick up players.but who is left?? it's a little bit earier to say what will happen but it maybe a lot closer with out mt beauty and belvior. how bout kiewa ???

wen did they change clubs.... midson and hore got brendon morris to the club and have now left, and day signed a 2 year contract wif baranduda how did he get out of that. dont belive it million happy.

Pup, i have talked a bit of sh*t in this forum but if there is one thing that I am certain of, it is this. Would not surprise me if Brendon Morris ended up at Dederang either because they are chasing him hard.

soz happy, got the goss of B.morris today and he said they were chasing him but doubts he will go. Fair chance he will end up back home (Kiewa) or even could join raiders to play with the biggest recruit of the season in cgrade his brother is playing. dont be suprised if horey ends up playing in both divisons this year if a club offers an extra $20 mid season

heard it from very close sorce that all those players will be at dederang again
and have been on the front foot with recruiting and have signed a couple of players from rival clubs and should be a real force. any news with baranwartha are they felding A grade?

Also, got wind that Andrew Hill, Andrew Creamer and possibly Brad Sheetz are all disgruntled at Dederang and might be leaving. Sheetz to Belvoir and Hill and Creamer are rumoured to be having a training run at Birrallee Park tomorrow. Hill is a strike opening bowler and Creamer is a useful leg-spinner and a handy top/middle order bat.
