B/Redan need Bam Bam back sorry Greg seems Lynch hasnt really got you guys going this year just shows that even though Bam Bam was not liked around the place he was the one that made everyone put more effort in...
We don't need him back but we would like someone of the same playing claibre yes. He has left a big hole in the team but even though we aren't as successful as last season all the boys would have to agree that they are enjoying this year much more than the previous 4. Ultimately that's what cricket is all about, enjoying playing with a good bunch of blokes. We won a premiership last year but I think you'll find it was a bit hollow/soured by his involvement. Lynchy can only work with the cattle provided, and with injury to key players it's difficult to succeed.
I know what your saying in the fact that he is a good player and i can understand the boys not enjoying having someone like Bam Bam as their leader but i suppose what i was trying to say is that he probably got alot more out of them through fear rather than the boys just going through the motions, have you lost any others from last year or was it just Bambury?
Would you say that it could be different if Bambury wasnt the captain and just a player, that way the captain could control him more???

I don't think the great Bambino can be controlled by anyone mate. I'd like to think that we performed for the team rather than fear of the wrath that accompanied the captain, but in a way I guess there was always that worry that if you stuffed up in any way you'd know about it so you'd try that little bit harder not to cop a spray.
We lost Brett Mason and Simon McCartin from the GF side along with Chris, which has left us an opening bowler short and a keeper/opening bat. Jarrod Allan was meant to fill Mason's spot but a busted shoulder has put an end to that. Skontra has come back as a keeper and is doing a fantastic job but I guess the biggest disappointment is Matt Hoey replacing Bambs. Through no fault of his own (having his first child and living in Geelong) he hasn't been his old self which would have filled the void left by Chris. I'm not sledging Matt in any way, as I've realised of late life is more important than cricket, and your game suffers as both of ours have this year. Did that answer your questions or was it my usual crap ramblings again?

Nah not so bad this time Waka05, i can understand peoples life commits change and cricket does come behind family, but as you agree it can be a great escape some times..
so basically i read Bambury as this
- The Player - Match winner
- The Captain - Arsehole
- The Coach - Un approachable

Got it in one there mate. I rate than man's ability to play the game and win them, but anything else yeah I don't rate the man.
Every now and then he might come up with some good advice, that is when he's not being a bell-end, and can help you out but most of the time it was a battle. I guess for me personally it was harder coz I knew him before he came to our club (worked with him and then became his boss), plus my personality clashed in a big way.

thickedge;204853 said:Enough about Bambury he doesn't even play in the comp anymore. Surely there are more interesting arguments to be had. Like who the final 4 will be or who's going to win the flag.

thickedge;204864 said:My tips are that wendouree will scrape into the 4th spot available. But i think that they may just well fall short once again in the semi's against mt clear. East will be too strong for the pointy heads in the other semi leaving them to fight out the g/f with mt clear. Cleary medalist will be Johnson with White 2nd and Burns 3rd. Fair views and tips cobber???

cobber14;204868 said:agree with your cleary predictions. johno & josh have been the 2 standouts this season.
i had the same 4 as you until the last couple of posts have indicated that moore has a shoulder injury that could end his season. if thats the case, then point may struggle with the ball to bowl sides out. moorey is a class bowler that has had a real good season. point still need to win their last 2 games to qualify, & without him, they may struggle to do that?
can any1 confirm if this rumour is true?

Sleeper;204929 said:word was on saturday that cape had a major fallin out with steenholdt who refused to play him in the ones. doubt darley would want to lose either of them so i think there may be truth to cape lookin at other clubs.
faulkhead on the weekend was very impressive with the ball. branch and corden were the pick of the bowlers but it was the first time faulkead has bowled in several years and it was very sharp and quick. sent through one of the quickest bouncers ive seen in a while. if he can keep fit naps could be more of a chance for the four than people have suggested..

Waka05;204986 said:You will have to ask the selectors that mate. If a few of the blokes that are supposed to be playing could make themselves available we wouldn't see blokes like me in the team. I think they were so ashamed by the performance they left my name off the batting card in the paper. Wouldn't want to make it known that a seconds player was the only bloke (barring Fletch with the injury) not have his wicket taken?
