Re: DVCA: Player movements and rumours
Wasn't having a dig at anyone boys... found it entertaining. Just wasn't sure where it was all going to end up

Re: DVCA: Player movements and rumours
Not a lot... although I'm no longer on the commitee, so I am a bit out of the loop these days. We have had really really good turn-outs at training, which is promising for this time of the season. Potentially fielding 6 sides, which hasn't happened in my time at the club.
- Justin Davoine was appointed captain/coach... good choice I reckon. Top bloke who loves the club and has been very loyal to it. He has brought some new ideas to the plate, and the large turn-out at training is a great show of the respect that all players have for him.
- A few players have left (Solly to Mernda... and apparently Matt George to Mernda also, but I could be wrong there). Two big losses there, but it is their choice in the end, and good luck to them. Cameron Rayner is working weekends this season, which is also a big loss as he has been a perminent fixture at the top of the order for the past 4-5 seasons.
- No new recruits (as far as I know). Stewie Wright has come back after a season elsewhere, which will fill a big hole in our batting line-up. One of my mates who used to open the bowling down at Melbourne University has come down. He is a racing journo, so spring carnival is a a bit of a hurdle in regards to how many games he will play.
- The council finally completed our club-rooms over the off-season which is a positive. They have come up a treat, and the club has organised a reunion to commemorate the official opening of the rooms by the mayor. Hopefully that will get a few old faces back down.
All in all it has been a good vibe down at training... looking forward to an enjoyable season.

Re: DVCA: Player movements and rumours
The new rooms do look fantastic. I've had enough of councils. Nothing but spin doctors who firmly believe that peeople at club level are slightly retarded. In my case they may be on the money though.
Two big losses though. I always wonder why clubs make it hard for players seeking greener patures. A simple, " is there anything as a club we could have done better?" or "good luck. You are always welcome back home", should be suffice. The door is always left ajar.
Big Stewy is a good pick up. I saw him make his 1st Barclay Ton. Great innings too. Racing journo hey! I expect some good tips via pm too!

Re: DVCA: Player movements and rumours
Yeah, I didn't know that he was training with us for sure until yesterday. I don't think he knows who he is playing for at this stage. It is up to him, because he enjoys the blokes at both clubs.
As for last night, he batted okay and bowled a few that wizzed passed our chins... but he was pretty rusty considering it was his first hit. The footy has been good for his fitness though.

Re: DVCA: Player movements and rumours
A mild mannered reporter like yourself might want to expand further?
I did hear that the evergreen Steve Gleeson is hanging up the boots? Can anyone second this? Steve has been the backone of the Riverside team since the early 90's. Probably the all time leading A grade wicket taker, if not close to. One of the leagues' true gentleman and if true will leave a massive void in the bowling ranks at the Siders. Steve was instrumetal in the 92/93 Premiership. Needing 29 runs with only 1 wicket in hand against the leagues' best ever bowler (Peter Fox Barnett), both Rob Hunt and Steve cut down the margin to make in 6 flags in 8 years for the Siders. As it stands at the moment, until certification Steve has played 180 games debuting in 1990, Taken 332 wckets at 17.44. He has amassed 2693 runs and I believe he is the only bowler in dvca history to win both the A & B grade competition bowling averages in the same year. A magnifient record.
Now look at this one!
ANTHONY CORCORAN - RIVERSIDE
GAMES- 75
RUNS - 2470
AV. - 43.33
HS - 213* & 202*
100'S - 6?
WICKETS - 227
AV - 11.15
BEST - 7/48
FLAGS - 6?
CHRISTENSON
MEDALS - 3
CORCORAN ALSO PLAYED FOR VICTORIA.
He was in my opinion the greatest player ever to set foot on a DVCA cricket field.
If anyone else has some stats of their own superstars please feel free to post them on here.

Re: DVCA: Player movements and rumours
It's true, i was speaking to Pig the other week and he told me, apparently steve doyle has taken a year off as well, have to find another keeper for the comp side
As you are well aware CC, Bundoora V Riverside are our clubs most anticipated game and Steve Gleeson deserves to be ranked up there with some of the best to play in our comp. Outstanding competitor who was very focused on field but was also the first in for a beer afterwards, will leave a huge hole to fill at Watmough Park.
Out of interest, and i'm not trying to be fasecious , could you please put your own stats up, if you know them
