Not much posted here these days but this weekends Longy GF is worthy of a mention. Extraodinary game between 2 fantastic teams and I felt privileged to witness it. Well done BUCC. Have achieved everything there is to achieve in recent seasons except knocking of East Sandy in a 1st grade...
My point Mick is that with the quality of Woolnough Shield these days it will be harder and harder to achieve. The Omega team that lost the GF was Longmuir quality IMO as were WP last season.
Was surprised to read in the local rag that this was 6th time the double has been achieved (4 by...
Plenty of people willing to stick the boot in after the BUCC’s Longy GF loss in 2011/2012 but not one person prepared to come on here and acknowledge the unbelievably rare Longmuir, Woolnough double. How about some balance, at least towards our Woolnough team. For a number of reasons, those...
The points system debate has some merit but the sort of crap posted above just reeks of ignorance and envy.
No disrespect intended as I have a lot of time for the CSCC but Uniting would have had more home grown players in their side then the Spiders on the weekend. And just like in the...
Richo very stiff – A longy batting average of 125 and he still can get the chockies. Just goes to show what a season Dolman had so probably a fair result.
Lots of people making inferences and judgements from afar. Even a couple of newbies logging in and posting in defence. Can understand that, as it is a normal reaction to support one of your own. I have already posted an accurate eyewitness version so wont repeat as it only seems to incite...
The quality of the cricket should be the focus as it was a ripper game. Score line does not do justice to how tight this was. Several times MW looked out of it but a great knock by Schrier and some suburb late inning hitting from Cross saw them post a competitive score. BUCC bats dug in but...
No issue with Sandy blokes at all. Remarkable record over a sustained period that will never be beaten. Like everything it was destined to end eventually. Have earnt the right to have a bit strut about themselves I reckon.
However just wonder what the haters would say if it were BUCC, ANA...
Yes of course Burger. No disrespect intended. A great effort by Centrals to reach 2 GFs in an era that has been so dominated by one club. I just made special mention of West Bentleigh for reaching 3 GFs in a 5 year period. While many happy to pot them for coming up empty handed I reckon it’s a...
East Sandy’s record is without peer. A stunning run of success and a brilliant effort in the GF a few weeks back. Posters from BUCC the first to congratulate and acknowledge them on them on their victory and sustained run of success.
While most people who post here are balanced and fair...
Sponge Bob. – Surely you don’t believe there is any substance to this? Lets acknowledge and congratulate the efforts of the premiers in all grades – not give oxygen to this sort of rubbish.
Not great news (for us anyway). East Sandy by 38 runs. Thoroughly deserved win by the zebs. Controlled the game pretty much from the start and full credit to them for defending solid but unspectacular scores for 3 finals in row. Disappointing end to what has been another great year for the...
Correct. Grounds in City of GE all available next weekend but inexplicably not the weekend after.
Well done to Washington yesterday. Controlled the game from the start and just too good. They have the infrastructure to step comfortably back into Longy whereas Aspendale are over reliant on...
Spot on Mick. Excellent assessment. But to clarify (again) - the ‘without peer’ comment relates to his amazing ability to consistently take big wickets (and bags of) in big games.
Some of you youngsters need a trip back to the archives when Merl was a young colt with the great East & West Bentleigh sides and even the billionaires own John Lilley had no peer.Splinter Wilson,Macfarland, etc el there are many others the old brain can't remember , I might have to find my old...
Amongst the very best ever to play in CMCA. While we have seen many magnificent all rounders (Goro, Pitt etc ) Chubbs would almost have no peer as a pure bowler.
His ability to take wickets in big games and at vital moments is, I believe, almost unparalleled. Was getting around the field...
Yes Clock the intention is to arrange a bus from Centenary. Anyone who wants to get on board contact John Halliday. Our communication to the wider CMCA has probably lacked a bit.
And your comments about Glen Lalor are spot on. Given a choice there is no way he would let a coin toss decide...
Jimmy’s version is spot on. Uniting offered to continue the game mid week but Jacana understandably did not want to trek from Broady to Bentleigh again. In fairness I reckon we would probably feel the same. Score reported here was also wrong. Not 2/41 off 4. It was 2/24 of 4.3. In the...
If the Spiders finish on top then of course they deserve a home 2nd semi but it’s hardly up to BUCC to ‘let them’ host it. If you finish on top then it’s not negotiable as far as we are concerned but that’s a decision for the exec. If we finish 2nd we expect to play at Lords or Chisholm...
