Re: CMCA - City of Moorabbin
What's the goss in CMCA LAND.
Heard some rumblings down the highway were on the cards.
Will the Omies stay up?
Has APRSL got enough in the tank to be competitive, or will they just make up the numbers again?
Rumblings also reported to be coming out of Patterson Road.

Hey Perty,
Good to see someone is actually checking the cmca site out.
The RSL need to bolster their depth through the ranks, maybe some of the players need to change their attitudes as well.
You can't have players dictating like they did with their last C&C was appointed 2 seasons ago.
Its a very even comp now with at least 8 clubs in the mix, a couple not too far away and another 2 way off the pace.
Who will get relegated to allow for the RSL to return is the big question?
Or will the 12 teams stay as they are, this would mean the RSL has to win it again to show the comp that they are fairdinkum and not one season wonders.

Hey Smoking,
You sound really knowlegable on CMCA issues, '' yeah right ''.
The top teams in the CMCA would give any turf puppets a good game.
Maybe you had better get off the weed, and back on the synthetic stuff, at least you would get value for your doller and actually get to play some cricket on a fair surface, rather than the hard grassless mud tops that you get now.

I actually didn't state what grade of turf cricket was similier and agree with you that snr division would be a great challenge to CMCA clubs.
Maybe from Sen Sth A down would be comparable.
Lets face it, most players that play club cricket 1st 11 are good park cricketers, VTCA is just another park comp with the exception of the senior division.

Re: CMCA - City of Moorabbin
Having played both Longy and VTCA Senior Div, the CMCA would be comparable to the top end North A1/South A1 and the bottom end of Senior A.
You need to remeber its alot tougher to play on turf than it is on carpet (especially on some of the dodgy decks served up around the place).
Even ESBC would get smashed by the likes of Yarraville Club etc. There plenty of money in the north and those teams would belt anything that the CMCA can offer.
Just my opinion though.

Re: CMCA - City of Moorabbin
Good post ''spin '', What standard are you playing these days?
I tend to agree with you about Nth and Sth A, clubs in Sth, like Murrumbeena, Moorabbin Park [ recently promoted '' would not be challenge to the top CMCA Clubs,, just a good game between even clubs.
It is noted though, that alot of the turf players have egos' bigger than their batting averages, there are plenty of good players in the CMCA that prefer to play with mates, and be long time servants for their clubs.

Re: CMCA - City of Moorabbin
Back playing in Sth A1 Archie.
A few of the teams we played last year like Ajax, Cheltenham and Old Mentonians were pretty good sides that would be very strong CMCA Longy teams.
Ajax had an awesome batting lineup with very good district players like Lamb, Weinstock while Chelt and OM's bowling was of a very high standard with Cheetham at Chelt (English import) and Seeary at OM's.
I agree with you about the ego thing, but i think that you will find that most good turf players make excellent mats players but its not always the case the other way round.
I think that mats clubs are more mate friendly (like EBSC etc) and more likely to retain players on that basis instead of losing them to turf clubs.

Re: CMCA - City of Moorabbin
Not sure that Lamb would be classed under the very good district player. Everyone has their own opinion though in life. Not sure you can easily compare the 2 comps and especially not so confidently say East Sandy would beat those teams......Chelsea did beat Yarravile last year after all! Different Pitches...bigger grounds.the debate is endless!

We've all got egos to massage, but the fact is this will remain speculative until the sides play each other. Highly unlikely.
