re: North A and B 10/11

david informed club game before xmas that he was retiring from playing cricket. He wanted to spend more time coaching his young fella..last week we were advised he played last 2 games with lara c.c. This was done without clearance so we are in process of investigating. Dave retired on good terms so we were suprised with what followed..

What a load of rot, the whole competition knew he left to play for Lara. Retired from the game, WHATEVER. Spare me my reading time on rot

Phil i don't know who do you think you are?? Doesn't matter who do you play in finals you will struggle to win champ. keep saving yourself for finals as your batters have done stuff all and somewhere down the business end of season they will need to perform and they dont look like doing the job. Keep pumping yourself up.

Forget looking too far ahead buddy if you don't win against M/ Valley you can kiss your season and best cricket good bye for 2009-2010. St albans is sitting on your head to grab your spot.

champ don't think you guys have cemented a berth for finals don't even dream about taking ur foot of the pedal because one loss will force you to stop writing and posting blogs on this forum.
so keep it going buddy if you lose one it will be good bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Christ on a bike - you seem to have a slightly unhealthy obsession going on here. Granted, you may not like Crea or the club he plays for but come on, let it go. It's beginning to stray into trolling territory.

Well it is a big ask to drive down over an hour from Lara every week !!!! Plus he has a son he wants to spend more time with which is fair enough.

good call they really dont have the bats .. now that roach has gone only adds to that.. i see a w/c flag there for u back to back pretty rare..

re: North A and B 10/11

Any truth in the rumour Roachy has left Moonee Valley and is playing out the season somewhere closer to home ??? If so, the premiership betting market in North A might need to be tweeked...

Retired ? I posted on here 4th JAn he was playing closer to home..... hmmmmm

re: North A and B 10/11

gotta love some of the responses you get on this site! as the bloke that recruited roach to our club, you would think id be more qualified than anyone in reporting the facts.. So here we go again. Roach called skipper after last game before xmas and informed him he was retiring. His reasons were lack of desire and also wanted to spend time coaching his young fella. In the numerous conversations with him from that point he stressed that he had no interest in playing with lara. We are not stupid, we had heard the rumours so we just waited. Then we saw that he had played. So in regards to canaryyellow saying what 'rot' i was just reporting what roachy told us. Not what we believed.. And like i said in previous post we are now looking into what our options are. In vtca you cant come into comp mid season without a clearance from previous club.. Not sure about GCA though.. Awaiting their reply. If he can then so be it. If not we will discuss next point of action...

So what exactly are M/V going to do to him if he has played @ Lara?? If he has played with them whilst committed to the Valley it's poor form & Roachy of all people should know the rules. I can understand the hole bit about playing closer to home & coaching his young fella but maybe he should considered all of this before shopping himself around....

re: North A and B 10/11

At this point of time we are just trying to ascertain what the GCA's rules are regarding transferring into their comp from another comp mid season. We have contacted the relevent association administraters and are awaiting their response.. Like I said, if the comp allows mid season transfers without clearances then there is nothing we can do really.. If it is in breach of GCA rules and regulations then our exec committee will decide course of action..

If he has played without a clearance it just may not be up to your club to decide the course of action....i would think that Lara would lose any points gained from these games and the player suspended...depending on comp rules and action from the vmcu!

Everything you have written is true and correct. What I find amusing is what you decided to leave out, which is understandable considering your intention is to protect Moonee Valley CC interests.
Once Roachy rec'd his cheque for half the season he called it quits. Yes he was finding it difficult to travel and it was putting him under pressure to spend more time with the kids but he would've seen the season out if he could stand being around the blokes at MVCC. He said there are some great blokes down there but there are some(in the firsts and others who have been at the club for years) that think that they can sit back and judge others like they are above them? In other words, who the hell do these blokes think they are & what have they ever done to think they are above everyone else?
Roachy can rub people up the wrong way at times but he plays the game hard and what you see is what you get, always the first to have a chat and a beer after the days play(maybe you blokes could learn at least that from him)
Anyway, he has gone now, since xmas MVCC have started to show their true colours(cheats, sooks & just shocking blokes) so let's move on.

I think they are a big show best opening bowling attack in the comp.

re: North A and B 10/11

cutoverslips.. :Everyone is entitled to their opinion so your post is cool.. But everyclub (especially one like ours that has 10 sides) would have a fair spread of goodblokes... Not so good blokes... Blokes that play hard and blokes that dont. Any sports club in australia would be no different. But how often do blokes walk out half way through season and play elsewhere?? Most would see it out. But thats just my opinion..this is not personal against roachy.. Like i said i signed him up and found him to be a ripping bloke.. But ive also got to do the right thing by my club.. Anyway your right in that its time to move on... the vmcu handle it from here...and if they say there is nothing wrong with changing clubs mid season without a clearance then so be it...and ill go back to worrying about the cheats, sooks and sore losers that you claim our club is full of! .

W/C batting is there weakness, yet i think its still good enough to win the premiership... C2 is going a little far.
Cachia is hitting them very well, 307 @ 51 and Parslow aint going to bad, 216 @ 30. All there other bats are average but they chip in when needed. Clearly on the back of Big ED and Cluts there batting should just be good enough to get them the premiership. I think phil currently has the winning formula...Should be very dissapointed if they don't at least play in the GF and win it.

hey uncle heard your clown of a coach opened the bowling on the weekend....got hit around a bit.?...

BOZO opened bowling and was reminded why he retired.

 

[Snagglepuss]

re: North A and B 10/11

WC probably are best chance to win it on the back of Edrick and Clutton. You've gotta remember the Nth A comp is really only a souped up version of Nth B of recent years so they should be a real chance to make it 2 in 2 years. The fact MV are going so well is the perfect case in point with really only Pridham as the addition to last years side. I tend to agree with previous poster that WC v St.Albans are the most likely GFinalists.
Nth B looks pretty much settled now even though Kingsville are staggering to the line having only won 1 of 4 since Xmas and favoured to lose their last 2 against higher placed opposition. Rolled by Flemington on the weekend and I see Khwaja didnt play either. They need him back or they are just an average outfit.
Did Altona Roosters choke it up on Sat? 4-197 chasing 240 with plenty of overs left against Aber Park and theyve been rolled 5 short. Shows the strength of Aber Park I think for them to fight through and win even if they do rely on Albers and Pascu so much. Even Leo chipped in for a few wickets?

Hmmm, 20 Jan you posted "We did make 320 last time but remember that our player that made 165 did not play this time round. He should be back game after next."

He is ripping bloke though - he was cordial during round 1 innings and was very enagaing after semi final loss last year.

re: North A and B 10/11

anyone know the state of Jacana's pitch and what's going on with their games from here on in as yet ? has there been a ruling ?

TOP 4 can't change in Nth B can it ?

think only the make up of 2nd-4th can change

they're too many points in front of 5th by the looks of it

Thanks Uncle, enough said. As previously mentioned Sambo, stop wasting our time with rot. Roach hated it there, no if's, buts or maybe's about it. He was always playing at Lara the second he walked out and now MV are on the hop. Maybe you guys should stop crying over spilt milk and turn your focus back on the top 4 (not 5 anymore) winning you games of cricket.

re: North A and B 10/11

canary... You get no arguements here. Its obvious he didnt like it at the valley.. Im not debating that.. Im just saying that i dont think a player can walk out half way through a season and play somewhere else without a clearance..im not here to enter into a slanging match about reasons or excuses.. Or if we knew he was leaving or not... There are things about what happened that in my position i am aware of but will keep in house.. Remember there are always 2 sides to a story... Im not bagging roachy out.. Obviously he had his reasons...Look through my few posts.. Unlike some i have never bagged players, clubs coz i reckon that at some stage it comes back to bite you on the arse.. The basis of all my posts is whether a player can change clubs mid season without a clearance..not whether a club is a good club or poor club.. Whether a bloke enjoyed or didnt enjoy playing at a club... Im sure there are blokes that have played at the valley and hated it... Ive played there 23 years and its my second home.. Probably same as you feel about your club canary...Nothing more and nothing less..

Cutoverslips, we all play teams that we gain opinions on based on nothing more than the few hours we see of them on the field, as somebody who has played over 100 games for the valley how you could say that we are "cheats, sooks & just shocking blokes" strikes a blow through every single one of us. I dont know you and I dont know how well you know our club but you seem to know Roachy, so 1 bloke didnt like the club big deal, there are more than 100 who turn out every week who do and dont have the incentive of money to do so. Our club is not perfect but name one that is. We welcome all players regardless of skill level, race, gender or disability and can give them a game week in week out. There are very few clubs who can boast about that.

I agree that A/Park are the stand out side in the division at this stage, but they are by no means invincible.
They say that good sides find ways to win and that is true to an extent but unconvincing wins against non-finals bound sides can sow seeds of doubt.

I'm not totally sold on Abers yet, i tend to think that Jacana are the 2nd favourites at the moment. say what you want about their deck and their batting line-up, they still know how to win games.

They played in a GF two seasons ago and would be really disappointed with how last season panned out, compared with Abers who haven't played finals for a long while.

Also, BCoq. I recall you talking up a 40-run loss by Roosters against A/park recently in a one-dayer saying it was a good effort, playing away, against top team etc.... Surely the Seabrook game can't be dismissed so lightly by yourself, or has your view changed over the last few weeks?
