North A & B

Re: North A & B

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

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

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?[/QUO

From my sources as of yet cragieburn r talking to Chapple as he is not happy with how much he bowled last yr and likely to bowl this yr. From all reports not to many ppl liked Pizzaro as a coach due to the amount of overs he was bowling and a few personality clashes i belive as well

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.

Groves is married to Hudson's cousin, but Groves staying at Jacana. Hudsons have moved to Coburg in the subbies with Hudson Snr as coach. Siriwardene at Jacana new CC. Hope he has a great season and can lift the club to its first premiership in over 30 years. Tough culture down there but club did well to make the GF 07/08. Disappointing to miss finals last season after beating eventual premiers Werribee Centrals outright during the season.

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.

It was mentioned to me by someone in the know at Footscray that McDonald and Innes don't exactly see eye to eye either. No stirring the pot here, they seemed stunned when I said that they will play together this year. Must have been water under the bridge between the two.

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.

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?

Are you seriously telling us that Hudson Snr & his son are going to Coburg Subbies & Snr is the coach???? You gatta be kidding mate....... Is Jnr the captain? Let me say it now "You gotta be kiddin" again! Subbies must have really dropped off.

Re: North A & B

Hi guys been following chat for a while, anyone heard any news out of Jacana

 

[parkcricketer]

Re: North A & B

Interesting rumour the McDonald /Inness one. I know for a fact DMac knew Innes was there before he signed at Greenvale - so I assume it would be water under the bridge.
Also suprised Pizzaro ruffled a few feathers. I reckon he is one of the easier blokes going around to get along with. And yeah he did bowl alot of overs - but he also took alot of wickets - cheaply at that!
Can not believe the Hudsons are still getting coaching jobs. I agree with "2time" - If Hudson and Suares are coaching in the subbies the standard has slipped a long long way.

Re: North A & B

Hi guys been following chat for a while, anyone heard any news out of Jacana

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

Mate are you serious - Suares as well, are u taking the p*ss. Waz is ok @ best, not a real team orientated player hence the the 5 clubs in thpast 5 seasons. I also found Piz pretty easy to get along with, but speaking to a few mates that play @ Gvale he wasn't well received by a few. I suppose abit like the Brne scenario, but if he's the skipper he calls the shots & that's it. Some blokes might need to have a look at themselves & pull their heads in. Players like Piz & Brne are hard to get & are appointed for a reason.

may struggle, seemed a bit out of sorts over the last 12 months. Great competitor and i hope he does ok this year.

Is there an element that clubs pay so much money for players with great talent and impressive playing careers and then expect them to be a great coach as well for the return on investment. The players mentioned are great mentors for young players but coaching a club and its players require a very different set of skills.

Will be interesting, if they hold on to Groves bowling will still be right up there but they couldnt make a competitive score last season

Re: North A & B

i was talking to a guy the other day and he told me that Ash Manning was looking to play somewhere other than Footscray United next year. Apparently he doesnt think he will get many bowling chances with Jeffrey there. i know he is a bit old but he would still be a handy pick up for some clubs. Knows the game well, plenty of experience.

What ever the big fella is thinking, please lord, let him play at a club where I still get to face him. Plenty of Experience, my experience is 3 half trackers an over, a flukey good one, and two you play back so he gets another over. Manning was past it 7 years ago, no runs, no wickets, no personality and one massive ego, why else didnt he get along with Waz???

From all reports is a good clubman, but once again if he is such a good clubman, why didnt he get along with Waz if the club thought that was the direction the club needed to head in??

Ash needs to follow in his footy coaching career and see that the good days are well and truly past him. Time for the big fella to organise a few BBQ's where he can point to his trophies and tell everybody how good he WAS

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.

No "Jnr" not the captain, just playing. Mick Lewis (ex Victoria/Australia) is captain. Hudson Snr going as non-playing coach. Adds this Subbies club to Broady and Preston which he also coached. Premiership player with Sunshine. Returns to the club he started at over 40 years ago so a good thing for him and hopefully the club.

FUCC is a good family orientated club. Few ****ers granted (I was one) but all clubs have them. I miss playing in the VTCA North Comp. I was a fat hack. Still am today.

I know it's still very early but who are the teams to beat in NTH A + NTH division.

NTH Hoppers hwo r they looking.
will strathmore be back up the top.
Gr$$nval$ lost portou + courts if that's true, Innes+mcdonald will cove 'em just fine but will they challenge.

I reckon other NTH A promoted sides will be competitve at best.
Tulla may be exposed, parkville will battle, KP not sure how they'll go, westy so so?

DOutta, druids, S utd + how they + others i missed are shaping.

NTH A
St albans with they recruits seem to be the early favs.
Folks are also tipping F UTD to challenge thankls to inclusion of T Jeffrey.

what's the go with the rest.
MValley folks were saying they had courts,roach + AH import. But heard AH import is back @ Avo.
Anyone familiar with Taylor Lakes, any tips how a 3 time NWCA premiers will go in NTH A.
Who do u think will battle to stay up and who 'll challenge for the finals?

Again i know it's early and we'll probably revisit this, but worth finding oput what most think?

We had our first training night on Friday.

Amazing turn out, 33 players about 10 new players plus around 5 or so past players returning to the club this year.

all different standed players which is good, very close to 5 senior sides for this coming year after only 3 last year.
