I am tipping come season end, Epping to finish 4th.
Lots of interesting scenarios available for the last round. Plenty need an outright to save themselves from relegation. Perhaps Epping will be happy to play along and try for 10 points themselves. If BU have appealed and are successful, then Rosanna will need a win in case they lose those 10 points again. Macleod are not playing for position, the cynic in me asks would they be upset if Mernda beats them and RECCC lose?
Personally I don't think the appeal will be successful as going by past history the VMCU will not get involved in a DVCA matter, also heard Riverside are considering an appeal as well for their lower sides which might be interesting with the president of the DVCA.
I think any appeal would be in bad taste. If a club has knowingly cheated, now is the time for coping the punishment on the chin. They've seriously compromised the season. Its sides like Research et al that have a reason to complain.
Yes I agree, but do the other sides effected have a right to appeal ?
Probably not in my opinion, particularly if the DVCA is just applying its rules.
Pretty scurrilous Serg. Their is 1 name that has played all year in Barclay and on his seasons form even he'd agree that his demotion is warranted.
Word from a reliable source is that you won't be going all out to win and that some in the club think it's better to punish Tom than go into finals as winners. Let's see hey.
Don't worry, we will worrying about winning. I'll tell you what crap is. An individual who hasn't been able to remove the chip off his shoulder over Tom leaving. Judging by your response, you will be putting Mernda to the sword then and enjoying a good win in lead up to finals. All the best and I look forward to reading the results.
Hows that reliable source working for ya stuey ?
Looks like Tom can handle himself this week. Tim took it on his own back - chanceless? Or could he have been snaffled early?
Pretty good. Sometimes when you throw the spotlight on something, it has the effect of keeping a situation honest
Talk about being paranoid. Lucky that rather large investment you guys have ,kept you up in Barclay albeit by the skin of your teeth.brutal said:Pretty good. Sometimes when you throw the spotlight on something, it has the effect of keeping a situation honest
Yes, A big thanks to Macleod for facilitating that. I think it worked out for all of us in the end. Tim chose Richard, we ended up with Tom, you guys play finals and despite some challenges of our own making and imposed by a DVCA exec that make decisions like relegating our 2's to D grade, thus putting us at a developmental and competitive disadvantage, we live to fight another day. Cheers
