Also interesting to note that at King George on the weekend, Mordialloc's own Luke Manders was supporting his mates at Aspendale-Edithvale RSL on both Saturday & sunday. Will we see him representing the combine in 2010/11?

Evening all,
Interesting comment about the carrot UM, word out is the carrot has already been dangled by one of the gold caps power brokers, there are certain stipulations that must be adhered to, but a nice carrot never the less.
The lad can play, but the question remains the same, is he deserving of some cabbage. and what price for success do clubs go to?
Hypothetically, if i was invoved in a club and the lad was offering his services, you would have to give it some serious thought, he won't be the only one who may be enticed to play for some nice sponduli.
Good luck to him if he can get it.

Tips as follows;
Hoops- [ Its Time ]
Centrals
Wallet Park
Royals
Uniting
Chelt P [ Peaky is back ]
Panthers
Wanderers
Golfers
Cluden 1 day comp

All the best to all teams, and to the BBQ boys as well.

Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

What a weekend.

So ESBC have finished Union's campaign... will be interesting to see how Union review their season Pitt-less ESBC look vulnerable but never discount them in a GF... when did they last lose one? Home ground advantage helps, but Mackie shouldn't feel aggrieved with the venue choice seeing as it suited them last weekend.

With both Centrals & Moorabbin West keen to gain promotion, Washups will need to win C Grade and pull out some rabbits to stay in Longy. It won't happen for them sadly.

In D Grade, ANA's mix of youth & experience suffocated the Units, with 53yo Bob Dolman taking 5 & 6 in the two finals thus far. Carnegie Sth with the Schleigers should wrap up E Grade, while Haggar at Chelt Park will cement a win in F Grade.

Big week ahead for the CMCA.
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

just a thought,

seeing as carnegie south never looked any good this season...got lucky against an out of sorts elwood round 1, and lost 8 in a row to finish the season... do they deserve to stay in longy?

and washington park also had a shocker of a season, only beating kingston heath in thier first game ever in longy then lost the next 10!

whereas its been a different story in woolnough with 3 teams always pushing with hampton central and moorabbin west pulling clear when it counted..

what im getting at is, is there any chance of having 2 relegations and 2 promotions?
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Alas another season is over for the Hoops and they will no doubt undertake some serious soul searching. They recruited very well but for reasons known only to themselves, the dynamics did not gel. One wonders where they may have ended had the Champ been in their team all year. The Hoops invested a significant amount starting in their unsuccessful Centenary year, when they enticed Alec Gerdan from Elwood, Ivan Delac from Omega, and were lucky enough to have a few big name recruits just walk in off the street and play for the love of it. On the negative, they lost the CMCA player of the year, and with his departure their chances of a flag may have also departed. It may well be that this team just needs another season together.No doubt there will be a lot of analysis during the off season and who knows they may lucky enough to pick up a few more players who happen to drive past Hurlingham Park.

The Juggernaut are into another Grand final, and have the benefit of the home ground advantage.Rumours abound of a possible report to one of their players which will no doubt add to the pressure whilst it is sorted out. The Machine has been in great form and are full of confidence. They have not lost to the Juggernaut in the past four seasons and with the benefit of a week off to analyze their opponents they should celebrate their first Longmuir flag in 23 years, and the ensuing celebrations may also break a number of records, and which ever establishment(s) is lucky enough to get their patronage on the ensuing Mad Monday will make quite a few dollars.

There is no doubt that Moorabbin West were hoping that Hampton Centrals & Cluden would engage in a knock down last man standing affair. Unfortunately it was not to be as it actually ended up as a one day match with the Centrals totally overwhelming Cluden.No doubt a lot of the Central players would have appreciated the day off on Sunday to rest up and support their other teams that were playing finals. Not sure that the West Stars would have been too impressed with that scenario. The Woolnough final is to be played at the tunnel, the soulless Hurlingham Park, and a big crowd should watch an enthralling match. The forecast is for a windy day, so forget any crowd atmosphere as supporters of both sides congregate in their own little areas with sign language being the order of the day. There are still a few players from both teams who participated in that ill fated Longmuir Grand Final where the West Stars were dismissed for 27 after being 0/14 against the rampaging Juggernaut. The last time these two sides met resulted in a one wicket win to Centrals, just passing the West Stars 9/171. Burger, Amoore and Spratt were amongst the runs whilst McConville, Worker and Charity were the main contributors for the West Stars. In their third attempt at the big one, I am tipping the West Stars to get over the line.

In Quiney Shield, the Wash Ups with eight players who played in their ill fated Longmuir Shield team during the season, were too strong for Kingston Heath. They now set themselves for a very tough match against the undefeated Chelsea Heights. This may not be the walk in the park for the Heights, and no doubt the Wash Ups have the batting depth(on paper) too match Chelsea Heights.The last time these two teams met in the Home and away season, the Wash Ups were comprehensively defeated being dismissed for a paltry 65. They have regrouped since then, and no doubt they will put up a better effort. The key will be to work out how to dismiss the destructive Brad Lockhart. With 643 runs at an average of 91.9 he has had a remarkable season. The Wash Ups with the veterans in Gorrie and Meaklim, along with the youth in Olson, Verrall and Middag, along with Cleary look a formidable team, however Chelsea Heights did not finish on top due to one player, and they have had a number of contributors during the season, ie Sleeth, Spencer and Hume along with the miserly Neil Lockhart who has taken 19 wickets @ 9.4. Chelsea Heights will be too strong at their home ground.

In D Grade, an arm wrestle of sorts was the order of the day with ANA getting over the line by 31 runs with the evergreen Bob Dolman taking 6-52.ANA now face Hampton Centrals and there are rumors that an appeal has been lodged as a result of the comical events that transpired against Bentleigh Uniting in the Second Semi Final. Not sure what grounds they intend to appeal, but if being born an idiot is one of them, then he may have a chance of overturning the suspension.

In E Grade, the game was in the balance when Carnegie South lost 3/0 to be 7/247. Enter Rudi Schleiger and hit up a quick fire 51 to effectively end the game and ensure that Uniting were going to have to chase 323 to win at Bricker Reserve. Interesting character Rudi. He seemed to have all at his feet a few years ago and then seems to have dropped of the radar.Uniting fell away and could only muster 117.The Grand Final should be an interesting encounter with two very strong teams in Kingston Heath and Carnegie South. Their last encounter in the Home and away season resulted in a narrow win to the Golfers, passing the Spiders score of 9/246 with two overs and two wickets to spare.

There is a distinct gap in the grades, champ. You only have to look at how the past couple of relegated sides have fared in Woolnough Shield to get an idea of the difference in standards. AERSL got absolutely flogged 3 years ago and came down to win the flag before deciding to stay down and tail off. Hampton Central went through last season without notching a win and are now arguably favourites to go up again and they'd be foolish to believe much will change with the same squad next year. A fully fit Maysie will ensure they get a couple of wins, but they rely too heavily on too few. Moorabbin West has a squad this isn't up to it either.
Point being there doesn't need to be 2 whipping boys sent up and 2 sides coming down who, given they maintain their lists, could potentially be in line to head back up after next season. Unless both sides playing off in Woolnough recruit well, I can't see either of them causing too many headaches next season. Gives credence to the 10 team grade system bandied around the past couple of years.

Is Gerdan the Travis Cloke of the CMCA? Seems the report made from the weekend was a result of said person bringing the incident up with the umpire. Given it was nothing more than an exchange of words, it seems a bit unnecessary that a tribunal hearing is required.
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

After a fairly hard and at times frustrating initiation to the top grade, I have to say that the difference between Woolnough and Longy is quite a bit. Where in Wooly each team has 2 - 3 decent players, in Longy basically they can all play.
The really good players make you pay for your mistakes, mistakes that you can sometimes get away in the lower grade. At the moment the 1 up / 1 down seems to be the fairest process.

On another note, attended the Knights Award last night. Really enjoyed the night, it was well run by the CMCA. Much better than last years Presentation Night.

Hey guys, I'm Hoppy, 1st year pres of CSCC. We get a fair caning for our Longgy performances but no one seems to have any constructive criticism other than most seem to want us out of the comp?? We are pretty stong at the moment with two teams in grannys (E and G) this weekend and two teams missing out on finals by %. Sure our 1sts struggle but we are by far the youngest team in the comp and believe we are not far off being competitive. Am I deluded in my thinking??? Fell free to get stuck in with your two cents but don't just bag us out, give some reasons, if you don't hate us flick us feedback. We don't plan to get relegated anytime soon so you may as well begin to show the love!

Hard to read into whether someone is taking the piss here. Can only reiterate my previous post about the gap in the grades. Carnegie Sth are just another one of the sides that has gone up in the last 5 years and struggled because they've failed to recruit well. West Bentleigh are the only exception. It's nothing personal against the clubs, it's simply fact. I think results are a fair indication of where CSCC are at and on some occasions this season they were far from competitive.
If the intention is to create a consistently more even competition, I suspect the 10 team format will be the way to go.

There is definately a lot of merit in that UM. It would require some tough decisions and a staggered implementation and there would be some very unhappy teams, particularly Hoppy's mob.

The progression to the 10 team league should start immediately. This would mean that both WP and CSCC are demoted to Woolnough with no team promoted to Longmuir.

Woolnough would remain a 12 team league with Brighton Dist, ESBC and Hampton U demoted to Quiney. Chelsea Heights (assuming they win) would promote to Woolnough.

The following season would require 2 or 3 demotions from Woolnough with a possible promotion from Quiney and so on down the grades.

It wont have to much effect on the quality of Longmuir, other than making it tougher for struggling teams to survive, but it will improve the standard of Woolnough hopefully also going some way to bridging the gap between the two top grades.
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Why do people have to bring up this 10 team comp argument? If it's purely for lively debate, well let me remind people that if it was 10 teams, then Omega would never have been in a position to come from 12th to 5th. 12 teams has suited the competition for a long time, and the idea of playing God by reducing the comp to 10 teams will only change the argument in 5-10 years time to change it to 8 teams.

Teams will always make up the numbers in any competition, and it's up to them to change that not the competition.
