NorthClubsDontPayPlayers;287335 said:Exactly, that Keilor fan is getting a tad excited. Fact is Keilor are finally blooding some youth after 4 years of trying to buy a flag through a lot of ex district players, some of whom aren't there any more. Sth Caulfield have made a big call recruiuting Mullaney this year and he too deserves to be scrutinised as a paid player and the first big recruit Sth Caulfield have brought in.
Porter is probably the best bat in the comp, I rate him more technically correct than Baker and i'm glad the scores are starting to pile up. Hutchinson is a very, very good bowler, but apart from these two their 2nd string and younger players may end up being their downfall come the crunch games.
I'll be only too happy to be proven incorrect but that is just my view at this stage.
There is a massive, massive gap in the top six and the bottom six, but I'm putting a line through McKinnon so realistically only 5 can make it.
And one final question - when was the last time a team won the flag and was then relegated a season later? Are Doutta in trouble, or are they simply yet to click into gear?

Dingo_Jones;287742 said:Douttas track has been terrible, apparently quite difficult to work with from all accounts. After making the track 6 feet too long the previous week, the curator allegedly suggested he make it 6 feet too short the following week to compensate. Thats when Douttas dispensed with his services.
Anyway we should soon see a marked improvement. The two guys douttas have hired to curate there track are the epitome of curatorial excellence. Don't know if it will improve douttas game though.

southern sledge;280273 said:I'm not touchy, its just that we don't need comparisons who is better.For years the South was the stronger cricket and now the North is. Is this due to the councils in the West and North being more community minded than some of the Southern councils who are obsessed with the user pays mentality and give no help to the clubs.
We are all in the one competition, which i reckon is pretty good so we need to all work together to make it better.

DouttanProud;286339 said:Not a bad assumption.
I'd have to agree although your comment on Douttas "having no players left" , there's still 9 players from last year. Just playing terribly as a team.

I heard the curator forgot to take his pills in the morning. Very Sick in the Head man.

Tubba LaBumba;287971 said:9 players from last year? Looking at yesterdays side there was only 5 players from last years premiership side, i think you'll find if you took 3 or 4 of the best players out of any side..ie Lamberti, Ion, Cooper.. they would struggle, where would yarraville be without Baker, O'keefe and Smart or Keilor without Jody, Porter, McKay?

onlyonepaidpro@clubbers;287996 said:Ah yes, Mr Doutta Excuser is back...Mate you can talk it up when you win but you seem to have trouble realising that when the money runs out so too do the good players...You bought a flag last year so now sit back and take your medicine this year and keep saving those pennies to have a crack at the flag again in 4 or 5 years.

Ben Dover;288002 said:Money's there in abundance. Players have just got older & retired & those players weren't paid players anyway. What a better way to retire than with a flag.
You probably wouldn't know about those things though.
Go back into your hole & check your facts 1st!!!!

Southern Son;288054 said:Cheap Shot, if that's the case... You've got the ticker of a flea and the spine of a jellyfish to make statements like that. I'm tipping a few of the Spotty bats will have 'sick heads' after the big fella carves em' up next week
