8 flags in 9 years will never be bettered. A remarkable effort. Remember we did salute in 2007 flag so that’s 2 in 5 years and hoping for 3 in 6 but we are miles behind East Sandy. No one will get close to that record. Old Game – What’s the reference to St Peters? Geography means there has...

Correct. BUCC ahead on the DL system but obviously it was evenly poised. Absolutely horrible conditions. An ordinary effort with the bat by the BUCC and Jacana likewise looked to be really struggling. I believe there was the option to come back and finish it on Wednesday night but both teams...

No worries PP. Take your point and more than happy put some other clubs under the microscope, hence my last request to Clocker. I’m an infrequent poster to this forum but it least it adds something other than the endless stream of tips and club promotions. Without the Clocker V BUCC banter it’s...

Don’t know if I want to shut you up Clocker. Keep em coming in I reckon. All highly amusing. Now you have plenty to say about the boys from Centenary on a whole range of issues. Tell us where your allegiance lies and perhaps we critique how your club is travelling?

Reasonable depth at present Clock but far from incredible. Won’t last forever and as mentioned keeping your 2s competitive in Woolnough is a very tough task. Our 3s doing ok in a pretty good Quiney grade also but if you get a few absences, such as the few rounds post xmas, then they also start...

Hardly call our second X1 bullyboys Clocker. You just play each weak to the best of your ability. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. It stands to reason we might battle against the 1st XI of strong clubs like Wash Park, Omega and Moorabbin West. West destoyed us in last years semis...

Totally agree with your sentiments on the subbies Clock. Back in ‘the day’ it was a semi elite comp but that ended long ago. Like any comp it has some standout clubs and players but for the most part it seems to has fallen away significantly. The standard of the 3s and 4s is absolutely horrible...

The CMCA is a strong, vibrant comp and IMHO I cannot see it being merged, taken over or forced into some other hybrid arrangement any time soon. The SDCCL has been on the wane for years. A reasonable junior section however many of the stronger junior clubs have their seniors affiliated with the...

Long way to go lads and no one at the BUCC shares those views. A few good or bad overs either way can change a game as happened in last years GF (Union 2 for 100 and all out 120 ish) Already we have seen it a few times this season. 6 for 30 odd against CH and looking down the barrel. This round...

The mail was that council had a say based on complaints from neighbours. That was straight from an East Sandy source who said it was and is an on going issue. I accept if this is incorrect and won’t labour the point. We have had those issues ourselves at BUCC as will most clubs (footy, cricket...

C’mon Mick that’s a tad harsh. My point was that BUCC did not ‘lobby’ to have the semi played at Centenary as was stated. It was my genuine belief based on what I had been told and what appeared to have been corroborated by a couple of other posters on here. From our own experiences with City...

The usual suspects wanting to take a swing at the BUCC. Highly amusing really. All this talk about alternative finals venues is absurd. Can really only be a choice of 2 venues and as the City of Bayside will not allow ESCC to play midweek at Chisholm then it's an easy decision. And I agree...

PP. Enjoying the banter but how the hell can you be flag certainties before Round 1? I mean seriously. That is just plain disrespectful to the other teams. Flag favourite? Possibly. Maybe even a warm favourite but to call someone as being a certainly before a ball is even bowled is a bit much. A...

PP I think the points you raise demonstrate why the BUCC should be flag favourites again not why they should not. May get rolled this week but I would not be putting my hard earned on that happening. And if it does it won’t do them any harm at all. Early season form always tough to gauge but Rd...

Good Call Jimmy. Andrew and Brendan McGuinness from Bentleigh Uniting have been playing Premier seniors for many years. Both have made 100s in the top grade with Andrew in particular a regular 1s player.

Good Player......Terrible bloke

Probably to early to call Clocker. Obviously we would love to have them stay. Lot’s of things going in our favour and reckon they will but we simply could not match what gets thrown around in some others comps. The great man John Halliday will be all over this. Like a few clubs we could use a...

Cheers Clocker. With you now. The one I mentioned didn’t leave on great terms either so thought it may have been him. While he is not everyone’s cup of tea but he is good bloke with an impeccable record. Again well done on your season review.

Outstanding work Clock. Unbelievable insight and most of what you said hit’s the mark. Don’t intend to critique each and every comment as for the most part you are spot on but if your reference to the Mackie coach scenario relates to who I think it does (GC?) he will have a very different...

Probably not he smartest move entering into a forum sledge fest in the middle of a finals series. I have waited until it was all over before responding to the comments about the BU v BU 2nd semi. It was a shame such a magnificent game was tarnished by Unions lack of sportsmanship and dummy spit...
