I think DanielSon was talking about Guild Saints' position, not AT's.

Thomson will do OK - the relegated GCA1 sides always do. BIG difference in standard which Highton will soon see :) Agree with you though about NDSC needing more than Matt Harrison to get to the top, although he is a more than handy in. Wouldn't put them at the level of City or St Albans at...

Was that Shaun Campbell's? As I recall, a passionate speech and interesting dress sense:p

I note your cynicism Wasim, but believe it or not, it's all above board. The fixture itself doesn't change from year to year, but the clubs randomly draw numbers after the AGM - the number you draw gives you the corresponding number in the fixture. Maybe God loves East Belmont:)

GCA3 maght be in danger of turning into similar to what the Churches comp became (and ultimately led to its demise), namely too few clubs with too big a gap in standard. I think the GCA would like to be able to standardise GCA3 as a 12-team comp, which would require Shelford (or Anakie - surely...

Probably at or after the GCA AGM, which is on 20th July. Yes, the season won't start till 8th October. Also might be some scheduling problems caused by Geelong hosting the Australian Country Championships in early January.

All over in about 40 minutes, nothing major. Some discussion on T20 format (including the final not being on Australia Day in future) and also on dates of Saturday play next season, having regard to the AFL GF being on 1st October and Geelong hosting the Aust Country Cricket Championships in...

None at all. Home-and-away on field results count, but not finals. Realistically, like them or not, they should be the one to go up, but as a prior year relegated club, the system used for points might count against them.

All season I've thought/assumed City would be back up to GCA1, but on looking at the numbers, you may well be right about Highton. Promotion and relegation is now based on a 2-year rolling average of assessment points (instead of 3-years last season and 5-years a few seasons back) and City only...

I was under the impression that promotion/relegation between GCA2/GCA3 was now also based on 2-year rolling avarage as per GCA1/GCA2, now that GCA3 has been up for 2-and-a-half seasons. However (importantly) this is subject to a GCA management decision from a couple of years ago that the GCA3...

Some action on the site at last! Cox is sitting this current game out under a club-imposed suspension. Waurn Ponds guys weren't giving too much away last weekend. Their website newsletter also alludes to it, but is cryptic and doesn't give too much away. Agree about the T20. So many...

Yes it is on a Sunday - 14th November. T20 double-header at King Lloyd Reserve; the Frogs against Little River at noon then Mano.

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 2010/11 Thank God for the UCI Cycling :) In light of what happened at the MCG yesterday, it's an unexpected bonus to now not have to convince blokes to play cricket next Saturday. Will be interesting to see how many suburban and country leagues push their first day...

Re: Geelong Player Movements 2010 Close relationship with Bryan Thomas from Rockets squads over the years, and I'd say Thommo has been busy with the phone ringing a few ex-Rockets he's been associated with over the years. I didn't expect them to be long-term seniors with us, but thought...

Re: Geelong Player Movements 2010 Can't resist posting this. This was the "reason" on a clearance application we just received (and no, it wasn't Bisso's) - (Player) has a number of holistic reasons for choosing to play with (Club) CC. (Player) has reached a stage that he feels both his...

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 2010/11 All clarances and permits ARE lodged on-line now, with the rare event of clearances between the GCA/BPCA and the Colac & District Cricket Association being the exception as they (C&DCA) don't yet use MyCricket. But yes, an online record of all clearance...

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 2010/11 I suspect when it comes around, everyone will be glad we're not playing on that first Saturday in October because it's gonna be very difficult to get anywhere in Geelong based on the lockdown of streets that COGG is proposing. Would be hilarious if the AFL...

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 2010/11 GWCC had an ad in today's (Saturday's) paper for a coach. Would there be any other GCA1 clubs without an appointment at this stage?

Re: 2010/'11 GCA Promotion/Relegation Thommo is also using his connections with the various Barwon Rockets squads to enable N&CCC to make a few phone calls.

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 09/10 Respectfully suggest you want to ensure a few of those guys in your 4ths play higher, and don't use irregular availability/one-day cricket as an excuse not to do so. Some are good players but there's not much point in having a very good 4th XI whilst the 2nds...
