Fair enough but in racing terms, BPH and North have a few duck eggs in there from line. Just suggesting they show a little bit first, then make the big predicitions.

It was a tight game against West, cannot believe though that Brad could not even score a single off the last ball to get us past their score !!
 
Re: GCA Divison 1 Previews and Predictions

Alright I'm doubtful that we'll get a Season Preview for GCA Div 1 in the paper tomorrow so I'll give you an unbiased club preview.

NORTH GEELONG​
Arrivals: Mitchell Troy (North Shore), Andrew Fergusson (Modewarre), Marco Sticca (Preston), Matthew Baum (Marshall), Tim Fergusson (Dunno)

Departures: None to note

Young Players to Watch: Dom McGlinchey and Shaun Kingwell both got some exposure in the first eleven last year, and would be likely to get more names under their belt this year. Both will be looking to improve on last years performances, and at the age of 16 and 17 respectively, both could have big futures ahead of them if they keep a good head on their shoulders.

Key Players: With the bat, a lot of pressure will be relieved on Sam Hall and Col Millard with the addition of Troy, Fergusson and Sticca to the line up. Alf Clark will slot nicely into the middle order, and isn't too far off breaking Jack Sing's runs record. With the ball, North will be much the same as last year, adding both Fergusson and Troy, who both took a lot of wickets on lower divisions last year. Brad Scown will be the key, and will be aiming to improve on last years 25 plus wickets.

Prediction: Finishing 7th last year or "best of the rest", and with the additon of some key players to bolster the batting and bowling stocks, the Magpies would be expected to make the finals this year.

Yer pretty unbiased for me, sounds about right to me, but I'd go closer to top 4, finishing at 4. but you are my smokey.
 
Re: GCA Divison 1 Previews and Predictions

At South they were sailing over our heads but If you're playing them at Lara you may be half a chance to get him caught on the boundary.

how good is yates south boys?
potential weaknesses?

He made Bambury look 2nd rate, which is scary!
Very strong and likes to walk at the batsman.
Just went about his business and seemed to be a good bloke.
Hornet did have him in trouble just outside off stump.
Had plenty of very low nicks go through the slips and gully.
But nothing carried.
Handled everybody else with ease.
Loves to play leg side (cow corner) and hits a very long hard ball.
But as mentioned, the only weakness seemed to be just outside off stump.
Handy pick up and $15000+ well spent I'd say!
 
Re: GCA Divison 1 Previews and Predictions

What is the go with North Geelong's wicket ? 17 dismissals for less than 170 runs ?? Can't tell me the bowling was just sensational ??

Most Runs: Cairns, Alex.

St Joeys to slip without Hodgson at the top of the order, Lara to improve with the inclusion of the Ballarat CA players.

Something you won't read in the paper: City continues winning streak.
Something you will read in the paper: Hornett does it again.

Shows how much I knew at the start of the year. To be honest though, when I did this ladder, I'd heard Harps wasnt going to be playing for Grovey, and I didn't know about the Pom, so I thought they'd only have Yelland as there key bowler.
