Agree - Mitch has moved on to a VSDCA club with unrivalled facilities and who, early in the season, are setting the on-field benchmark. With this regard, I would suggest he is reasonably content with Season 15/16 and as he very much should be. However, if you actually know Mitch, you will...

In my humble opinion, those sides I believe (as of mid September 2015, without a ball having been bowled and subject to injury/availability, etc) based upon assembled playing lists - sides best positioned to compete for a Top 6 finals position in Season 15/16: North/East (not including my own...

It most certainly will be an interesting Season for what, on paper, appears to be a wide open North/East Group (whereas, comparatively, the South/West Group would appear, on paper, to be the Group of death for the coming Season with 11 to 12 of the most highly-credentialed VSDCA 1st XI’s)...

Agree 100% and duly noted. Let's move on and I need play a role in this by ignoring the dribble.. Let's change the subject to predictions of the big improvers in Season 15/16; in the North/East - I suggest that Kew and Balwyn (both outside the finals come Season end 14/15) along with Ivanhoe...

"Informant" - have we lost focus on what is being discussed here or are we now whistleblowing on covert operations on par with the 1973 Chilean coup d'etat? Again, what part do you not understand about the fact that we do NOT care about the internal machinations of Sunshine CC or the private...

Reasonably comfortable with where I stand with the VSDCA Executive. However, if you have any issue or concern, do not hesitate in taking it up with them directly. In fact, if you believe this to be a concern, I encourage you to do so. I am more than comfortable in being held to account by the...

And I, and others, don't appreciate your attitude towards the VSDCA heirachy and/or clubs and their officials. Pretty comfortable with the position that the above warrant and have earned my respect more than those running their mouths in this forum. As pointed out to you yesterday by S&W...

Really good challenge SS. If a club has scale within their operating business model, irrespective of historic recorded profits or losses, adjustments can be made to said business model to ensure viability. Where there is no real scale, this is where the challenge will exist as a remodelling of...

Please return to whatever rock you crawled out of mate. Your misguided, uninformed opinions are not required here. Worry about your own club and Association. It's fools like you espousing nonsense that hamstring what good clubs and Associations are trying to achieve. Taking talent from Premier...

I feel that I am hitting my head against a wall here. Perhaps Sunshine were dissatisfied with the service they received or contractual obligations were not met? Who knows. I certainly don't. Again, suggest that it is not the role of this forum to hold anyone to account. Perhaps Sunshine were...

Could not have said it any better myself. Thankyou. The most meaningful post to this forum in recent times.

The issues you touch upon are mutually exclusive; 1) being what Sunshine CC have been accused of - incidentally, an event over 27 months ago now, and 2) future change to the VSDCA Dividen allocation. If you want to have an informed, educated and rational discussion on anything - I'm happy to do...

Huh?!? Contact a club to provide them an opportunity to profess their innocence for something they have been accused of? Hmmm - so the club's guilty until they prove their innocence are they based, exclusively, on the public airing of 3rd hand information? Streuth - hope you don't work in our...

"Out of line"? You Sir are a fool. Anyone here is welcome to run their mouths to their hearts content on player movements, etc. What I have a problem with is when the VSDCA Exec is questioned, the integrity of clubs questioned, leaders questioned. The Melton situation was not as simple as...

Don't disagree if contractual obligations have not been met or fulfilled even though public airing would not be my modus operandi. Do you know this to be the case categorically?!? Or are we relying on "a close friend of the Coach in question for one side only of an event that is over 2 years...
