interesting that you made that comment about winning the toss Fastfarnee as the last time Oakleigh & Caulfield met a few weeks back, wickets tumbled out at Warrawee Park. The pitch was rated poor and got an extremely low rating. Oakleigh is usually pretty good so let's hope conditions are good...

Personally I think the results in 3rd & 4th XI almost comes secondary. You need 4 XIs for so many reasons at Subbies level, mostly survival/financial reasons. Taking away the 3rds & 4ths would really hurt clubs for the following reasons. - 25-35 less paying members - no where to blood young...

Caulfield and Oakleigh should be a cracker. With Caulfield playing Sunshine in the final round, this is pretty much a battle for top spot. Hoppers have been great this season. i believe they have an exemption from the league to pay 2 extra players. i think next year will give a better...

Mueller might kill someone on that wicket down at Bonbeach! Any further developments on Hoppers heading to Subbies?

Is that an educated guess or do those clubs have aspirations to play in the VSDCA?

Anyone know which clubs may be interested in taking the vacant position in South now Kingston have merged with Hawthorn?

Not sure they are stuffed. From what I know they are turning things around and have a thriving junior program to go with 4 senior teams. The 1st XI has also made the past 6 finals series (not sure how good/bad South Div is though).

Don't discount Port Melbourne to re enter Subbies.

I would have included Travis Dean as a rookie. Got plenty of class and never looks rushed, a bit to work with I think.

I dont mind the concept of the new proposed structure of Cricket in Victoria but like many I'd love to see more details. 10-15 years ago Subbies was clearly the second best grade of Cricket but now other competitions have caught up mainly due to the amount of cash in local leagues. As someone...

There was word last year that HMU were inverstigating the possibility of playing at Glenferrie Oval.

Dowling back at St Kilda for 2013/14?

Port Melbourne website has Dan Davies and Steve Cole (returning) as recruits so far.

Melton maybe off to Premier would leave a spot. Think you will find a few clubs will be in dire straights when or if the CV grants are stopped to Subbies. Interesting about Port if that's correct?

Fantastic conditions down at South Caulfield for the grand final. The partnership between Bacon and Tillakaratne was absolutely outstanding and ensured there was no way back for Port. It looked like these 2 were going to bat the whole day themselves! Superb effort. As an observer it would have...

Barge any other Saturday and this weeks play would have been cancelled with the amount of rain we have had. No doubt there will be a few hard luck stories with some councils and curators already giving up on the wickets. Wonder what the VTCA will do??

Ok so what are peoples thoughts just one game out from finals time? Surely Port start favourites having only lost their first game of the season on a green top? Will they handle the pressure when it matters? Brighton are still going well and Chelsea are flying at the right end of the season. A...

I havnt seen Dale play but he was at South Melbourne for quite a few years and played over 50 games in the 1s. You would think he would be very handy.

It seems Port may have a little more depth this season. What's happening with Tim Dale? Is yet to play a senior game in the first half of the season. Openers Dearing & Towson also not on the scorecoard in todays game. It will be very interesting to see the outcome of next weeks game between Port...

Spot on boys, the wicket was the same colour as the outfield. Chelsea's bowling line up is solid but probably not going to get 17 wickets in a day too often! Do Chelsea have there own curator or does the council do the wickets? Interesting result either way.
