Player Movements & Rumours 2016/17

[Savage RN]

Eastern will look at trying to snatch up some of the better clubs on that side of town.
DVCA will be left with the Keon Parks and Lalors to absorb

If this were the case and Eastern were looking to do that, what on earth would possess the better clubs to choose Eastern over the Diamond Valley? Geographically it would be a disaster....
The Eastern top synthetic comp consists of the following clubs-

Deepdene Uniting - Kew
South Camberwell
Clifton Hill
Trinity Willison - Camberwell
Glen Waverley
Booroondara
Toorak/Prahan
Burwood

2 piece balls. Blokes get to think they are better than what they are. Also if you look from say Bell street towards the city,
Most of those clubs are right near the eastern freeway entrance. Probably easier to travel on a freeway compared to the main roads of the north

 

[Old Grey Nick]

Cant wait to see the Rosebank payroll heading out to Toorak for a game. That would be worth something to see.

So like three clubs? Don't think the DVCA would lose too much sleep over that.

on that side of bell street there are about 10 clubs. Probably all better than the worst of Mash Shield.

Thank god I stopped playing when I did. This is local cricket. Let’s keep to playing against local teams. Will turn into a subbies type arrangement if we aren’t careful.

Playing against some of those teams you could say it has an IPL feel

Toddy is not a big fan of more clubs coming in from the wrong side of Plenty Road.

Can anyone recall a club applying for entry to the DVCA and getting knocked back?

You can read about it here: https://www.cricketvictoria.com.au/...2/Melbourne_Metropolitan_Cricket_Strategy.pdf

It was to begin in November 2018.

I don't think the DVCA is too keen to be part of it.

I'm sure that Lalor got knocked back years ago.

 

[Declaration Bowler]

Mernda did too, originally, until they got juniors.

Viewbank has no juniors

 

[Savage RN]

Viewbank has no juniors

They also cease to exist as a club.

Their Facebook post is an interesting read. It basically admits that their policy of recruiting failed Greensborough players hasn't worked.
