Very strange how the Spotty deck can be a road all year & turn into a shit heap come Grand Final time.

Might be to do with a bit of fertilzing by the Spotty players on their way home after a few light beers as they never seem to be playing that time of the year.

I would have thought it was in Spotty's interests to prolong the game for as long as possible, given the extra bar takings they stood to receive....If they did indeed doctor the deck then not very smart on their part.

Also wasn't aware that urine generated from drinking light beer could act as a fertilizer. If those water restrictions get any worse, might just buy a few cubes of Tooheys Blue for the boys and set up camp on the square.

Some of these may be old news:

G. Turner to Taylors lakes (captain/coach)
M. Williams to Abers
D. Brown to stay at APW
D. Pacholli to G.U (apparently in some type of coaching role)
Zahorodni to APW
J. Taylor to APW
 
Re: VTCA Thread

hey guys, serious post...

regarding the deck at spotty, i know your taking the piss, but just to set the record straight, none of the players and officials that belong to spotty have anything to do with ground preparation.

it is in fact the full responsibility of hobsons bay city council to prepare the ground including the turf wicket.

Re: VTCA Thread

Or maybe he approached APW to play , not the other way around as are 99% of new signings . If it is true ,says what sort of bloke he is.
Kelly to Willy CYMS , geez how the hell are Keilor going to cover him ? Massive loss for them, maybe promote the great man Podge to cover those 150 runs.

He is playing football there now. Just signed up a few weeks ago perhaps he has a few mates down there anyway.
 
Re: VTCA Thread

Has anyone heard the rumour of the restructuring of the VTCA divisions?

I heard due to teams from mostly the South and some from the North hating the travel factor that they are seriously thinking about scrapping Senior A in favour of 3 First XI divisions in both North and South and having just the senior division so it would look sort of like this:

Senior - Keilor, Sth Caufield, YCCC, Douttas, McKinnon etc.

North - Hoppers, Willy CYMS, Strathmore, etc.

South - MHSOB, Brighton, Bentleigh, etc.

North A.
South A.
North B.
South B.

Apprantly only 3 South teams really want to travel and the rest want to just play within the areas surrounding.

Could this work?

I think it can and would be far better. I know my club would benefit from it as travel has always been a factor with the players.

Secondly, how would you divide the lower divisions up to create the strucure in place? Anyone want to have a crack at how it would be set out?

I think it's fine the way it is really. The travel thing is understandable, especially for kids playing in local junior comps in the morning. But then that is the nature of the comp, clubs knew the make-up of it when they joined. If they don't like maybe they need to go back to a local comp like the DDCA or something?

Well thats the thing, these club are worried about losing players to other teams playing local comps. They want to keep their players and survive. I understand that there are literally clubs within blocks of each other in the south and its a fierce playground to keep players and recruit quality ones.

He must have done it at Hoppers 2 this year,the council had 2
close the ground for the last 3 weeks(under water).
Beware of the sprinkler.
 
Re: VTCA Thread

Regarding Seddon and their search for a coach (sunday herald-sun) , PLEASE dont hold your interviews near the Tullamarine Airport as this caused absolute chaos last night with one potential suitor being taken to hospital with head injuries after being told he made the final 3.
