Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Evening All,

Uncle Mick

What a big day in the life of the BCF on a variety of topics.

Without prolonging the issue I would say to all those with their facts and figures on the 3 Bears to put up or shut up.Jimmy has thrown up the writing style, while debunking the triumvirate theory.

I feel like getting the christmas tree out after reading Sugar's piece and had no idea what the child was on about!!

Jimmy

More importantly let me know about where and when the BTC presentation is to occur.Armaguard want a bit of notice to deliver such a high credentialled parcel.

Fiscal One,

How is the dog and have you broken the gold cap BCF ban with a rare appearance?Is the TPP within budget and is Biggie Phelan the new voice of Gold Cap park on the forum?So many questions will there be any answers.

Also how did you get the white Murali off the charge given his priors.Was it an inside job?

Army,

Nice to have you back in a semi regular way and getting a bit of discussion on the Great John Quiney Shield.Good Luck for the rest of the season both on and off the BCF.


All BCFer's

Any interest in a finals tipping competition for all grades to find out if any of you are smarter than an E Grader?


until next time........... vino sipping poster,Prof Merlot,Santa Clause or whoever
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Hi all,

Clock, I wouldn't say ruined it. I did acknowledge how good your work is.

No I didn't "mean" to say rd 8. I meant to say what I said, rd 9. I have no interest in trying to do a dodgy and play an unqualified player.

On that though I also thought it was 3 games and therfore he would qualify but if this is not the case then he won't play simple as that. Might have to consult my trusty cmca handbook!

Merl, I'm always looking on here just not often I add much to discussion as it is usually longy/wooly centered. Would go in a finals tipping comp though.
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

D GRADE:

A five way battle looms as the season draws to a conclusion this week.The Executive has once again used their fortune telling skills to ensure that the final round goes right down to the wire.

Bentleigh Uniting:Guaranteed top spot, and playing second placed Hampton Central in a final preview. Centrals were struggling at 6/104 then managed to stage a comeback to reach 8/230 which was a fine effort. Uniting have a great blend of experience and youth, with the evergreens
Brisbane,Bladeranos, and the young bucks Backman, Zaia, Halliday and Still. Uniting must be the considered the favorites to win this grade and will no doubt be very keen to overturn last years capitulation to the Golfers when they managed to only make 90 after only losing one match for the season.

Hampton Central:The Centrals are led by McDonald,Anthony Devola, and possibly the dangerous Damien Devola (if he makes an appearance) along with Frank Carbone.The Centrals have managed to keep their Under 14 Premiership team (of a few years ago) together and they are really developing well. The Ferries brothers, Lachlan Hay and Fallon continue to improve. Uniting should be too good and relegate Centrals will play in the cut throat 1st Semi Final.

Bentleigh ANA: Preliminary finalists last season when they were beaten by eventual runners up Bentleigh Uniting.With experienced players like Bob Dolman, Jason Sherlock, Sammy Wolfe,Frank Locaino and Simon White, opposition teams are guaranteed a tough match. Added to the list the youth, Ben Tiddy, Jack Morrison, Michael Withanachichi and Tom Fitzpatrick then you have a good balance with a deep bowling line up.They are chasing 153 against Cluden and if they want the double chance then they must get the runs, and they should.

Aspendale-Edithvale: They are tied for 4th spot with Moorabbin West, and they are chasing 9/235 against said Moorabbin West.Shelton & Rae have lead the way for them, and they will need to be at their best to overcome against the established firm of O'leary & Son who will no doubt be at their annoying best on the weekend.

Moorabbin West:You have too admire Trevor O'leary (senior partner) at O'leary & Son for his passion for the club and the work he puts in behind the scenes,along with his on field leadership with the younger ones down at Widdop.He has put in a hell of a lot of work, and times playing when he could barely stand due to the onset of age and injury.With 21 wickets @ (miserly)10.00 he can still get the job done.Having done the hard work and putting a score on the board I expect them to get the job done and make an appointment to meet Hampton Central or ANA in a cut throat semi final.

E Grade:

Which team wants the vital 4th position is the cry in E Grade. After last weeks controversy which may lead to a Royal Commission, both the Ommies and the Oasis have stumbled and like Dane Ripper from a few years ago, a magical hole has opened and the Panthers are now poised to seize 4th spot after securing victory against the Cowboys in what must have been a very entertaining match. The Ommies were rolled for 120 or so (unfotunately the court has sealed the records) and they will be desperate to try and run through the ANA team.
The Panthers have the luxury of knowing they have the 6 points but will push hard to try and get the outright to secure their spot and not have to rely on other results.
Kingston Heath dismissed the Oasis for a paltry 117 and in response are 1/29 and look like they will do it easy.Bentleigh Uniting compiled 7/220 with Fred Kavanagh contributing 71 and the run machine Louis Kalisperis contributing 69.
Uniting have to win this otherwise they are facing the prospect of losing 2nd spot and they will.Shamrock may rue a few of their losses as they fall just short of the finals.Carnegie South are on track for an outright when they rolled Hampton United for 70, then struck up a quick 8/173 and put United back in to have them reeling at 4/29. I assume that 'Gags' (sorry Jimmy could not help myself) Gallagher has other commitments next week as this could only the only explanation as to why he is playing in E grade and not surprisingly took 5.He would have been relieved he was not playing at Lords. This Grade looks very even and anyone in the top 4 could win it, but will have to go with the finals specialists in Uniting.


F Grade:
Another grade which looks like going down to the last Saturday. Hampton Central & Chelsea Heights are safe in the top two spots, and it will be interesting to see if the Centrals can get Andrew Hemming to the starting gate this round as he made an impressive 148 against East Sandringham in Round 9, but has only played two games.Chelsea Heights have only lost two games, and one being to the Centrals and the other to the Sharks. I suspect that the Centrals team will be different to the one that played them in Round 4 as some of those players have moved on too higher grades.Aspendale-Edithvale who are sitting precariously in 3rd spot have a lot of work to do if they want to play finals.They require 247 to beat second placed Chelsea Heights thanks to 135 from Charlie Engel, who has been playing in their firsts for most of the season.The Sharks are circling menacingly in 5th spot having already defeated the litigious Ommies on the first innings dismissing them for a paltry 65. The Sharks are 5/111 in response and look like they should achieve an outright result and sneak into 4th spot.Fourth placed Cheltenham Park 0/29, appear to be headed to a comfortable win against Kingston Heath who were dismissed for a disappointing 103 thanks to the efforts of Ash Meddings who is now a member of Jimmy's '10 fa club' and he will enjoy having another member at the annual counter lunch and subsequent dinner, where they can recount every wicket, and every moment of their glory; and so they should. I fancy the Centrals to win the flag in this Grade.

"Jimmy

As you know Merl, you are always welcome to drop by the palatial Southern FM studios but failing that I think that GF Sunday would be the appropriate date for the highly prestigious inaugaral BTC winners trophy announcemment.

Clock, thanks for that, it does get a bit lonely at the dinners with usually just Con and I there (and I was one of his 10 as well), particularly given that he is not that great at returning shouts!!!
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

'Abusing/threatening or striking an umpire by words or conduct.'

How does one strike an umpire with words or conduct? If an umpire is struck then it should be listed as striking.:confused:

.

Try 300+ Clocker.
Our 4's just need to hope that Le Page don't get the outright and they should be amongst it come March.

Disappointing is not the word when it comes to our longy team. No excuses and we just have to address these batting collapses that have happened over the last 3 games. Yeah a big improvement over the last few years, but when you get a chance to make finals you really have to nail it. Hopefully we'll learn from it.

Game on in Wooly, with us putting on a more than defendable 219 after being in a fair bit of trouble at 5-120. A whirlwind 49 from the Mumbai express which included 4 dorothys and taking 20 off four balls off Thiedeman (who dropped him on 1) Good contributions from Chris Yanni (51) and Hawry (37) who courageously played after losing his father on Thursday night.
It's in our own hands now, if we bowl and field the way we're capable of, then I can't see Uniting getting the runs.

Great turnout on Saturday night down at the brick for our poker night. There would've been at least 20 guys from different clubs rocking up for a drink and a chat. The tournament was won by BCF's own Burger!

I'd also be keen to participate in a finals tipping comp.
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Burger!!!! Well great to hear that the great man has bounced back after the heartbreak of Brighton Centrals.I was watching the Sting a few days ago and was picturing burger and that hand...The boy has some character.
It would have been a tough day for Hawry, and I am pretty sure it did not go unnoticed by the fellow Ommies.Your ones are better suited to chasing, but that would be unkind to Uniting, as they bowled brilliantly.All part of the learning curve.Count me in for the finals tipping comp.See if I can get back to back spoons.:eek:
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Evening All,

Clocker

you have far too much time on your hands, but your form guide will no doubt be valuable for the 3 Bears finals tipping contest which will now proceed with interest shown from a few of you.Just have to work out another trophy, could it be a toilet roll,palm tree,bucket of sand, bag of jelly babies,gas bottle, a stump, the ball of the century, a Christmas tree,the possibilities are endless and suggestions are welcomed.

Also in the words of Pauline Hanson could you please explain this post :

'Abusing/threatening or striking an umpire by words or conduct.'

How does one strike an umpire with words or conduct? If an umpire is struck then it should be listed as striking.

You are confusing me like the child does regularly!!! Where did this come from?

Burger

Is spending too much time playing cards instead of both posting and working out who Merl is.But it is great that the BCF members share the love around and come together at a variety of clubs in Barrack's big wide land!

Vinnie

Good luck once again as you and one of the Jammos fight out for the big prize.

Also one of you will be required at the palatial 88.3 studios on Grand Final Day to receive the goods.Mysteriously I will have to decline Jimmy's kind invitation but I will be listening as he will no doubt do a better job of handing over the trophy than me.

enough for tonight

until next time.........vino sipping poster........ Prof Merlot aka Santa Claus
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Merl,

to all the rest of you & your Santa rubbish (worst comparison all time by the way?!) ... I WANT TO KNOW... ************ the mystery crap!!

Was talking to your lady friend on the tram Merl & she told me that a certain person with the initials of NV was asked what he knew about "this Merlot character" at which point the said person went a remarkable shade of pink???

Funny that as my spies also tell me exremely similar stories..

I have done a few comparisons of wording (which i gained from a hidden source) & you would be amazed at the similarities in regard to them...'MMM??

PS- if it is who we all think, does anyone really care??? I know I don't..

Stay tuned for more details...... further investigation to be done on sunday:eek:

brighton centrals??? Clocker, Merlot (#2), sugar (#2) or whoever you are... you make out to be a 'guru' or the CMCA & align me with BCCC A: there is no BCCC B: spare me the agony

another no name= grow some aggots you lads & put your name to your dribble.

Flahive, myself, Vin, even the child & many others have no drama's with it...
why be nameless??? I dont see the point, half of your posts would probably hold greater credit if we knew who you all were...
I dont think anyone really cares if your a player, past player a gun or even a Z grade spazzo.. it's only an opinion... It's like your cakehole= everybody has one like it or not!


I am making a stand against anonymous postings.. as of March 1st im refusing to answer into any debate or questions- that includes the tipping contest.

H.T.F.U !!
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Please forgive my friend Burger.

It appears 2010 won't be a happy team at Hawthorn & thus effecting his outlook on life.

Ha ha (just kidding Burgs) actually enjoyed your post.;)
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Ahh, never made my self to be a guru as you put it, on anything, just a little banter and some stats that no one can be bothered to look up.You responded despite your previous protestations that you wouldn't, so please give me break.Finally if you are that anal that you have to be in control of everything you do then I pity you.Just a little fun and you fly off the handle like a second grade sook, similiar to Jeff Kennett, the champion of the free market who has always argued that the market rules and Govt should keep its nose out seems to have changed his tune with free agency.
A tad precious.Anyway good luck for the finals and I hope that all spectators bring their photo id so you know who is in attendance at your game(s) during the finals.Just in case anyone happens to make a comment that does not agree with you.

Just like to know who im speaking to, is that such a crime??

i think we all like to continue the on field banter & chat off field (hence BCF) but on the field at least you have right of reply as you know who they are.

i forgot the last time i talked to someone who was standing behind behind a screen???

just think some of you in here are happy to hide, who's the 2nd grade sook??

would anything really change if we all knew, who was who... I doubt it!

& yes as of tomorrow there will be no response to 'randoms'....

PUP- care to have a little wager on the upcoming season, put your $$ where your beloved Saints little heart is... $100 if wither team wins GF??
(PS Dal Santo sleeps with the light on :eek:)
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Also to add to your photo ID dribble, that happened a few years back.. Slim, vinnie & seb were supporting their 2s (in a game i played) & gave me 'some friendly advice' from over the fence as i was batting & i didnt necessarily agree with what they said (as you put it). but have absolutley no probs as i can now return the favour in the future because they weren't hiding from what they said unlike many others in here.. that's what banter is a two way street...

think some of the anonymous people are a bit afraid they can't back up their mouth, so they choose to remain unknown.. take the easy way out!!

it's not so bad in here, you should se big footy.. it's a Farren Ray spectaculor!

Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Sug,

Miss read by your good self.
My point was that I don't care who says what, just that we all know who the randoms are..

I do care that people remain anonymous, but don't care what people say!
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

Evening All,

In the words of Burger I am not sure who I am talking to you, well I know some of you and others may or may not have double or triple identies but who really cares an old man is just going to have some more fun.

The BTC has been run and won but more on that later.

The full bottle needs to be poured out.

Longy

Wallet Park were left completly bankrupt and will get on the slippery slide down to Woolnough and not even Barrack's differing Congress will prevent the ride.

The judge's mob finally stood and delivered but alas the horse had bolted quite some time ago.Both they are their vanguished opponents the golfers will be bouyed by their youth policys and I can see bright things in the future.

The new oasis 2 mob got the stutters within sight of the post and the only joy slim's mob would have got would be getting former player Lucas out for a Daffy Duck and no doubt he would have got a bit of advise in the shell pink ears as he trudged back to the palm trees.A great rebound from the empty gas bottles and will also look to the future with their youth.

The millionaires didn't have it all their own way as they got caught up in the spider web with several of the spiders contributing to a reasonable total.Young Jack Macleod returned the excellent figures of 7 for.Is there any official reason the JGG was not front and centre?

Merl's beach boys showed him up again getting the chocolates against a very disappointing B's mob.The General Marshall added a near half ton to give 480 runs for the year a big chance to take home the Bronwlow.Although they did emulate the oasis 2 by losing 3 for none in the shadows of the post which would have elevated B's heart rate?

Come on B your mob is the great white hope to eat the jellies give the boys a rev up on the training track and produce the goods next week.

the tipless Brudes has probably gone out in protest with his great mate Burger however he was at his best picking up a couple of wickets and 3 catches as the Great Pretenders capitulated!!The Platters and Jimmy are salivating that they could have a local market for their hit song!

Not even the overdue return of the GG could help the situation as he was one of 5 Daffy Ducks from a so called finals side.Merl's view they are only making up numbers and will get a belting from the millionaires wallets.

the Bluff Road Cup

The protesting burger's mob did what they liked against the political nightmare who never threatened the big score at the home of cricket.

The oasisless and BTC fast finishing Bott's mob gave the October champions a cricket lesson in a perfect tune up for the finals.

Merl's very own since day one, Cluden did what a good side should do and hoisting the triple ton to overun the unlucky purple and golds who now look likely to venture down to the late great John Quiney shield for the first time in many moons.Without rubbing salt into a protesting wound let me repeat those famous words and I quote

If Cluden kneel = Merlot must reveal!!!

Unfortunately no cigar!!

Vinnie's mob had plenty of gas in the bottle as they overcame the inconsistent oasis 2 twos!! Manakis P being back home where he started his illustrious career ended the season with bragging rights over little brother chris with many more runs against his name.I see Vinnie did trouble the scorers with a few runs but being the team man he his the win would have given him great pleasure.Young Michael Fletcher did the damage with 4 for and maybe starting to show some of that ability at long last!!

The inconsistent royals ended a disappointing season for Uncle Mick's mob and I hope they gave him a decent umpires report for what was no doubt in my humble opinion an excellent performance.In a case of great symmetry both Catterson and Craven got 4 for 19 for the statistically minded such as Clocker!!

The jellies beat Saul's mob but they are too lazy to put any scores on my cricket so I will leave it at that.

that's a wrap on the merlot Full Bottle but I will be back with the big BTC finale and the Santa Claus finals tipping contest sadly with no Burgers on the menu!!

until the next post............ vino sipping poster....... Prof Merlot
 
Re: City of Moorabbin Cricket Association 09/10

evening again,

As you all know the BTC had several climaxes with Vinnie and now we will never know which one of the Jammos having identical tips apart from Vinnie's very own gas bottle game.A win to Vinnie's mob will see him lift the inaugural Merlot/Horlicks Babylon Tipping Contest trophy in the palatial 88.3 studios with guest presenter Jimmy., on Grand Final sunday.I hope Vinnie isn't on BBQ duty?

Congratulations to Vinnie and one of the Jammos who had daylight ahead of the fast finishing oasisless Bott who declared his intention to it away mid season but he just kept coming.

In a another case of symetry Merl and Sugar tied for 4th place which is quite fitting as neither could give a stuff whos who in the zoo.Sugar was also trying to emulate some pommy soccer team by finishing in the top four and now get's automatic entry into the Santa Claus finals tipping contest.

Merl will sleep well tonight having finished in the top echelon of his own tipping contest but more importantly just slipping past the former BTC leader in the shadows of the post.

A bit more symmetry with Archie and the Burger finishing locked together.

Clocker climb off the bottom as Saul capitulated and couldn't find the time or effort to enter his tips.

The final wash up is as follows:

2010 Babylon Tipping Contest
Rd 1 Rd 2 Rd 3 Rd 4 Rd 5 Rd 6 Rd 7 Rd 8 Rd 9 Rd 10 Rd 11 Pen Total
1 Ord Bloke 7 6 6 11 10 6 12 11 6 10 7 92
