Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 2010/11

Thomson Cricket Club

We are currently seeking a senior playing or non-playing coach for the 2010/11 season.

About The Club
This season the club will be participating in Division 1 of the Geelong Cricket Association, having recently been promoted from Division 2 on the back of several successful seasons.
The club currently fields 4 senior teams (Division 1 firsts through fourths), with a possible 5ths team being introduced this season (In the GCA, 1st and 2nds play on turf grounds and lower grades play on hard wickets). We also have teams in each of the U/11, U/13, U/15 and U/17 junior age groups, as well as an Milo in2cricket program for the younger kids.
Our clubrooms and ground have both been recently renovated, giving us excellent change-rooms, bar and function area, and making our ground one of the best playing surfaces in the region.
Last season all four senior sides played in the finals, with the 1st and 3rd XI's winning premierships. Our under 15's side also played off in a grand final. Along with this, the club has won the last two Division 2 club championships, highlighting our competitiveness across all grades.

What We Are Looking For
The club is a seeking a coach who will not only possess on-field ability, but the leadership and communication skills to develop our squad into an imposing division 1 outfit. A positive attitude towards cricket, along with a desire to develop younger players and a willingness to embrace our vibrant club culture are all musts. Experience playing and/or coaching a high level of cricket would be highly beneficial.

All applications can be sent to: secretary@thomsoncc.com.au
Applications will all be strictly confidential
Application close 31st May 2010
Contract and renumeration negotiable

I would have thought you's guys already have the correct leaders for the club cause you have been leading pretty well the last couple of seasons, so if you did not get a coach you have enough guys there at the club which could fill that role. You would specifically be looking for an on-field gun ?

I think we can end this discussion now as have spoken to the guys in question and although they had discussions with St Peter's in various formats they are very much aware that they are required players at South Barwon and are keen for a season of turf cricket at South next season !!

We're after a coach (playing or non-playing). Just advertising the job to see who shows an interest.

As for recruiting a 'gun' as you put it; I think our on-field set up is pretty handy. Obviously stepping up a rung now will test us some more but with a couple of inclusions we will be more than capable.

Recruiting these 'guns' around Geelong doesn't always lead to success unfortunately and it will cost you substantially in the process.

Good call Rissole, that makes a lot of sense. Your side last year was very handy as long as you get your Pommie gun back on board to add that extra strength. Grunta Booley has been telling me he is going to have great delight in taking my leg stump out when he plays against me, now that is a concern for me !!

As long as he doesn't show you his middle stump we're all winners :D

Louis has said he intends on coming back, just all depends on what happens with work in the UK. It is very hard at the moment for anyone to get a job over there! We have contingency plans in place if it does fall through, but hopefully it comes to fruition.

Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 2010/11

Season starting a week later this year. Don't really see the point I'd bet almost all clubs will have a practice match on the weekend after AFL Grand Final anyway, might as well of just played Rd1.

season start late is due to the ICC World Cycling Championship the opening weekend of the season which means that their is going to be a fair bit of Geelong streets which are locked down from traffic which means it would make it hard for people to travel around to other grounds. Would make it hard to go across town and the COGG (as this cycling event is on a world stage) asked associations to delay their season for a week. And yes a few clubs will make use of this as a practice round, espeically the clubs in the area not affected by the cycling race, ala South Barwon and St Albans !!

season gets shrotened due lack of rain one year... and now its delayed due to a stupid cycling event.. wat a load of rubbish
 
Re: Geelong Cricket Chat 2010/11

So does that mean the season will be a week shorter, or will the season go for a week longer?

I suspect when it comes around, everyone will be glad we're not playing on that first Saturday in October because it's gonna be very difficult to get anywhere in Geelong based on the lockdown of streets that COGG is proposing. Would be hilarious if the AFL GF had Geelong in it and was tied, and therefore had to be replayed that next weekend the cycling is scheduled. The bogans wouldn't appreciate finding out they won't be allowed into town to congregate en masse.

It will be interesting to see if the cycling has any effect on the GCA's decision whether or not to schedule an 11-round season so that everyone plays each other only once. Would mean only 2 x 1-day games, remainder 2-dayers. Seemed to be a few more voices than usual in favour of the 11-round season at the GCA general meeting last week. Overall not a really exciting meeting - the most anyone got animated was when GCA life membership criteria was discussed. Many a great shit-fight at club level has come about over this very issue; maybe now at Association level as well. :)
