    I’m close to all parties here. The man and his son you refer to, Williamson and co, and those that remain at the club. I can promise you, the claims ‘encouraging players to leave’ in your post are complete lies and slander. If Williamson leaves, he’s doing so on his own accord and has in no...

    Social media is a massive form of advertisement that is free. The comp has refused to have any social media presence whatsoever. A closed Facebook group with rare updates and no commenting allowed does nothing. Used effectively, the comp will be able to leverage itself and it’s member clubs...

    With all that’s going on now, and the possibility of losing 3-4 clubs from the Shield Grades, how would you reset the comp from scratch? I would increase each grade from 8 teams to 10, we might lose Kelly Shield as a result. Play every team once (9 games) in a two-day match. Or play every team...

    The NMCA (Neil Riley) has emailed clubs confirming the boards decision that no Premiership is to be awarded to any team this season.

    Don’t sensationalise or overplay it. It’s obviously a traumatic time for everyone involved, from board level to the clubs involved and more generally for the community. Being over emotional won’t help anyone’s cause. There will be a measured response, and if there are options left on the table...

    Right or wrong, it’s a decision that’s been passed down by Cricket Australia Chief Health Officer. The NMCA would be mad not to follow the recommendation and choose to go against the health advice. I’m not aware of any legalities, but the question could be asked that if a player or spectator...

    NMCA 2019/2020

    I I think the confusion comes from the wording of Cricket Victoria’s advice to Premier Cricket, where the highest placed team at the end of the home and away season would be deemed Premiers. This causes complications in Jika Shield given Rosebank were the highest placed team in the home and...

    Strange that they’ve gone this way. If games are abandoned due to weather (rain or heat), then a winner is awarded? Why are they being treated differently. Both events are equally outside of everyone’s control, but a different result is deemed?

    The announcement was up on the website early this morning, prior to my previous post. You must have missed it at the time of your first reply. Good result in ground selections. However, will be very interesting to see if YCW can get the out-right win, sneak in to fourth and somehow find...

    Not sure who the 5 are, that’s just the number that was reported on the radio show by Neil Riley. He said they’re doing an inspection on the pitch, surface and facilities of all submissions and a decision would be made following that. Based on that I‘d say we’ll get an announcement pretty soon.

    Socials aren’t one of the 5 clubs that have put in a submission to host finals. I like the idea of using Donath, a cricket carnival feel. Atmosphere around the venue would be high. Could make some sort of weekend festival out of it.

    You’d need to use some initiative and ask those guys involved yourself. Anything else would be interpretation and speculation.

    Get down to the club and sign up as a member through the coterie. You’ll get a great day with a feed and drinks provided in the big match against Keon Park. But more importantly, you’ll be invited along to the AGM. This is where you’ll separate fact from fiction. But that wouldn’t be as fun as...

    The wheels fell right off for Cameron at the end of the season. The only game they won from their last 5 games was against Dennis who finished second last

    Local Leader article today: He (Neil Riley) ruled out having seven teams — and a bye — in Jika Shield. “We’ll always make sure our three Shield grades have eight in it,” Riley said...

    I’d say they’re a much better chance to rebuild their club from B grade than if they stayed in A grade. The league still committing to have 8 teams in A grade though so will be interesting to see who fills the position with Socials and Keon knocking it back. Cameron probably a good choice...

    No I can’t confirm that. I’m sure any recruiting news, across all clubs, will be announced through the appropriate channels in due time

    Can confirm Socials aren’t going up, so won’t be them.
