Lets get some decent discussion going. I was having a good look through the booklet that the border mail put out the other week (which I though is a great idea to lift the profile of the league!!!)
Interesting to see that North Albury listed as having no losses although I have been talking quite a few blokes within north and these are the names that as far as I can work out are not playing-Simmons, Barton, Castello, Fulford, Hansford and Mallichan for half the season?That is litterally half the side. Apart from Farrel and Daniels, they look like they may find it hard for the first time in a long while, they have a few second stringers that may get a better go like ash borella, zach stuart and marmo, but they wont be a force this year (in my opinion).
East albury may be in the same boat, some names I have heard are neyland, kilpatrick, curphy? hockin? lewis? im not 100% sure on these names but I have heard they have picked up dylan weeding from albury. Not a bad pick up but wont cover the losses of those other blokes. Interesting that he left a battleing side in albury to go to another battling side in east. In sayingthat, i rekon that albury could be a bit of a roughie to make finals now provincial a grade are playing 50 over games. they have a few big hitters and wilth th e addition of tassel, they have two really good quick fast bowlers in him and brad smith. smith really impressed me last season when i saw him bowl, and he was only playing 2s at east, what were you thinking east????
Could go on all day about the league but here is my prediction for the ladder at the end of the year.
St Pats - definately up there and have picked up a new bat and a new bowler
Lavington - will be up there, but will they choke again at the pointy end???
Tallangatta -Heard nathan thomson, steve wood, coughlan and new pom are playing. Have potentially the best line up in league. new pom, fitzy, lade, moran, armstrong, wood, thomson, coughlan, etc pretty handy! roughie for premiers
(fighting out for the last final spot)
Wodonga - lost a few/picked a couple up - unknown
Albury - my big roughie, could knock anyone off in one dayers - lost a few bats in off seaspn/will struggle to score in 2 dayers
North - still a couple of quality bats - don't know any names of bowlers - may struggle to take wickets
East - depending on how may they actually lose, probably will be a lot higher and may play finals
Belvoir - my tip for relegation, havent really picked anyone up (cooky-but he is just as likely to play thirds) maybe Nat should have jumped ship when he had his chance? lost rohan pearce. both bowling and batting stocks looking scarce.
Any thoughts? feel free to tear this to shreads, i have tough skin, will be good to get some discussion up and about.

For what it is worth S&F, Marmo wasn't named in the Lavi team for this weekend.ive herd a rumour a while ago that marmo wanted to go back to lavi, but didnt think much of it. but saw him and sam (a former teammate from albury) looking very close while playing golf together last night. i no marmo has been to a million clubs and i dont think anyone would be surprised if he swapped over again. there is probly nothing in the rumour but i thort i since this forum is dead, this may help get people talking. what else is happening in the league. this page is dead!!!
People from outside the club spreading rumours about rumblings in the Panthers camp, Like clockwork it seems.Hearing some rumblings from the Panthers camp.
Unrest rearing its ugly head once again? Like clockwork it seems.
Looks like a good weekend of cricket coming up! Any weekend where a ball is bowled is now considered a good weekend of cricket though to be fair.

Do you care to give more information Grey Nick or are you putting it out there hoping if you say it often enough that it will be true and that it will add some interest to this forum ?
I haven't heard any rumblings myself (although I will admit I didn't make it to either training session this week), I would think that everyone would be happy as all teams won last weekend.
Not getting my knickers in a knot Grey Nick and it hasn't struck a raw nerve. Just though I would make a few cheeky comments just didn't think it was neccessary to put a smiley face. I thought the smiley face in my signature would be enough to tell people I'm not taking things too seriously.Just heard things through the grapevine, not need to get your knickers in a twist Seems it touched a raw nerve. Not like Lavington don't have a history of this sort of stuff.
Good luck to all playing today. Lovely to wake up to blue sky
Well the main players are playing 50 over games. Just wondering how many games go the full overs? If there's fielding restrictions or power players ? If the games aren't going the full distance what's the point of playing them !!
Sounds like the Pantherdome is rockin and rolling again !! I wonder who has upset who this season around.
Raiders started of ok with The Gun Griffiths playing well. Which other recuirts played well I ask?
I agree with Albury pushing finals they seem to be on the right track. Heres a cracker what if East Albury come last !!!!!
Be a good effort by Luke if he does make it out there next weekend. Didn't look too flash on Saturday night, some people including myself were surprised that he was able to battle on after being hit.Let's hope Luke is fit to play this weekend against a Lavington team in turmoil () .
Should be a good game between the two powerhouses.
Great win by the Hoppers on the weekend. Just shows you can't write off a team with that much finals pedigree.
Noticed a few players returning for Panthers this week in KB (Michael Klein-Boonskate) and Steady (Tom Stead)The Bushies look the goods this year fellas!
Panthers and Pats both comprehensively touched up on the weekend, who would've predicted that? Read in the paper last week that both have a few players out, when are they expected to return??
New City too good for District?
