Re: North A & B
If your talking about Montebello, I think it just comes down to shot selection for him. He has a fantastic eye and hits the ball cleanly, but generally gets out trying to hit one too many balls for a boundary. If the St. Albans wicket comes up trumps this year and is reasonably flat, he could make a few. If it is like last year, I don't think he will get settled unless he changes his game.

Re: North A & B
Having played juniors with him, I couldn't agree more. One of the cleanest ball striker I've seen. Had a decent start to his senior career a few season back, but struggled last year. The wicket is a key, but with the bowling line up they have this year, I can see green top's at kings park every week. It happened with Patel, they produced dust bowls every week and he took 8fa's like it was a training run. Not saying its a bad thing, but with batting being the weak point, you would think they would improve the decks for this year. Shane Jones is good inclusion, will need to be consistent.

Re: North A & B
Agreed he has a good eye - but a 2cent head. From what I've heard from an ex coach down there he just doesn't listen. You would think St Albans will do their best to come up with a flat track this year, given there bowling line up. I doubt they will struggle to bowl sides out. Apparently Shane Jones can bat a bit too.

Re: North A & B
Jones can bat, will be one of the better ones going around this year.

Re: North A & B
we at the Roosters have had two runs...the numbers are good and everyone is upbeat, it's a big step for a club to change comps and whilst i'm sure we will go ok you never really know until we are into it!! Our coach is keen to make an impact and a bit of culture change and those of us on the committee will support him all the way!!

Who ended up getting the gig to coach the Roosters. I heard they had a crack at a few players, just wondering who ended up with the job. Good luck for the coming season Roosters

Re: North A & B
Park, you seem to have a pretty big grasp on the Saints, is that where you play. They seem to have recruited well and look like they will play finals at worst. Lets be honest though Thrush (who apparently might only be coaching, not the captain but nothing confirmed to me yet) would get a bowl in any side in the comp. A tough player who has a bit of talent I would say. One of the best players in the comp, just needs a few more runs for my liking.

Re: North A & B
THERE WERE PLAYERS RUNNING AROUND IN NORTH B LAST YEAR GETTING 6-7 GRAND JUST AS PLAYERS PLUS RUNS AND WICKETS.
SOME GUYS REALLY DO PLAY FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME BUT FOR EVERY ONE OF THEM THERE IS ONE THAT IS ONLY PLAYING FOR THE CASH.
YOU CAN GUESS WHO THEY ARE , THEY ARE THE GUYS THAT PLAY AT 10 DIFFERENT CLUBS OVER THERE PLAYING TIME.
ITS BEEN THIS WAY IN THIS COMP FOR A LONG LONG TIME.
IF THATS WHAT THEY NEED TO PLAY IN THIS COMP I SAY GOOD LUCK TO THEM IT ONLY MAKES THE WHOLE THING STRONGER

Re: North A & B
We had a red hot dip at Thrushy but in the end i think we were to far away for him with a young family.
We got Peter Thomas has played at north melb 2nds champion player at standerews and also at our club, highly regarded and respected by all. His main mantra is to coach one on one & Create a more profesional culture.Got to respect that.
Not one person has left the club including the last two Coaches i think this speaks volumes of the man and the club. P.T. is doing it for the right reasons.Go Us!
lets see how we go!!!! Hope we can be competitive.

Re: North A & B
You'd almost think that if you got along with Steve so well, you'd know how to spell his last name in Brne, but that's just me.
Played against both blokes and have enjoyed a beer with both blokes. Nothing wrong with playing it hard on the ground and then having a beer off it.

Re: North A & B
Nah I don't play with the Saints mate but can confirm Thrush is definitely captaining as well. He is a good bloke, plays it hard but happy to have a beer afterwards - the way it should be done. My point is with their new bowling line up he isn't going to get many overs at all. He'll be lucky to bowl 50 overs for the year. The big threats to them this year (on paper anyway) are probably going to be Footscray United & MV. TJ is a massive pick up for FU and MV with Roach and Pridham there will be very competitive.

Re: North A & B
Wasn't talking about my own opinion of him. Like I said I get along well with Steve, but alot of blokes don't.
As for his surname - who are you; his mum?

Re: North A & B
Got a feeling they will struggle this year! Hudson an co have left the club, which will leave mixed feelings throughout the club. Know for a fact that quite a few fellas didn't like the way he went about coaching.
Not too sure what Groves and the others Hudson brought to the club are doing as yet. Also heard they may have recruited a sri lankan import but unaware as to how high he has played.
The mindset at that club has always been to play cricket for leisure more so than trying to achieve sucess as a club, so with the major losses they have had in the off season, I cant see them having any real impact on north b this season

Re: North A & B
Struggle every side above them on the ladder except Aberfeildie Park have gone up and if they had not been washed out against Hoppers would have played finals last season.

Re: North A & B
You need to win a game after christmas to usually make the finals! I hear the Lankan has taken over the captaincy, good guy. Will he struggle a little with his communication on field, I only ask because he is usually very quiet on the field. Interesting very interesting, it might be what jacana need to be more successful then they have.

Re: North A & B
Dont quote me but I think he was injured at the start of last year and never really made up the lost ground. Change of Scenery could be just what he needs.
RE: Hudson/Jacana. Hudson and Groves are related so I reckon it's a safe bet Groves will be leaving too. They have a habit of moving to different clubs together.
I've heard Portou has gone to Cragieburn but is the rumour that Chapple is going there as well true? And if it is, what did Pizzaro do wrong there last year (Portou, Chapple and Pridham represents the loss of a fair bit of experience).
Or are they all leaving because with the newer experienced players (Innes, McDonald) there with Courts, Kent and Pizzaro, the are concerned they will lose there spots to kids?
