Mick - I've heard that also about Cluden, so it must have some momentum. They have definitely got themselves back on track, however I think that it might be premature going straight back into Woolnough. We'll see what happens.

Haven't been to the Tudor Inn enough to know much about Cheltenham Park going down to D Grade. A few years ago they were complaining about not going up into Longmuir. Seems a vindicated decision if this is the case.

Sugar,
the word around about Cluden is True, the CMCA appears to be happy with their performances after also reviewing their rap sheets.
They would not want muck up though !!!!
Chelt Park are re-building, it will take some time, probably a wise move with only 3 senior teams, i think there're applying for ''C'' Grade.
Stkilda City, ''Gone to oblivion'' Elwood will get some of their players, plus the Peanut Farm, it's ok from the CMCA point of view as they want to hang onto the ground.
The comp cannot afford to lose any more grounds.
Union up to Wooly, may struggle unless they can keep the majority of their flag side from last year.
If their players stay, they will be more than competitive.
See you at the Tudor.:eek:

Perhaps a good move for the Southlanders, they were always going to struggle when they have no real junior set up, while Cluden were in there position a couple of years ago and from what i believe they have 4 juniors sides and also Milo Cricket. Must be the BGS link there Sug?
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

I believe Chelt Park will have a junior team to compliment their Milo program this year. The source I spoke to wasn't sure of the D Grade request when I questioned it he thought it might be C, but was pretty sure it was D. Be a shame to see them fade into obscurity in the lower grades.
Cluden are a bit of an unknown. More reputable for the way they carry themselves without being overly competitive as a senior club for a long while now. Be good if the rumours are true and they've cleaned up their act.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

A lot of talk about BUCC on here. Look out for a big year at Union. You can all speculate as much as you like at the end of the day round 1 will see a new improved Union side without the Champ. Everyone else is back and you can include us in the finals calculations. We have the 2 best batsmen in Longmuir and with an improved bowling team we'll be ready to take it right up to East Sandringham.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Moose i thank you for your view, who are these (the comps best 2 batsman).
I think the general thought is the in fighting at your club hurt you guys last year, if it is fixed then i believe you guys can push for the 4 as you mentioned.
But i can't see that been the way.

Also the best of luck with the job as SKIPPER, i hope for your sake you guys get the most out of your year.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Ernst. Your post about looking for a game...? We are. Had a game organised with Port Arlington which has fallen through. If you're interested give me a call tonight. 0438706415.

And kudos to the CMCA execs on getting the draw up on the website. Very much looking fwd to the Rd.1 clash with last season's premiers.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

The Moose is on board... good to hear you guys are talking it up. I'll speak to Bertie in order to put some money on you guys for the top 4. Don't let me down!
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

How are ya Sug? How's the Banger these days? Haven't been down there for a while. Put your hard earned on us. We'll finish top 2. Good to see the old club has gone out and recruited. It's disappointed the captaincy issue hasn't happened the way it was relayed to me but I wish them all the best and look forward to having a beer with them after round 2.
Brett. You have to agree that Con and myself are the 2 better bats in Longmuir. Our records speak for themselves. Every second game on the biggest ground in the competition and consistently making big scores. You might think there a couple of challengers but I think we're head and shoulders above the rest.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Yeah Mick, i think the boys from Halifax St will S.T Ruggle this year! Big leap from C to Wooly when you havent been there in a while. Be interesting to c if they can surprise a few sides like Brighton Central did towards the end of the year!

Ivan,
You have to admit that the players let down a lot your supporters last season in the Clubs 100th year, so you will have to improve significantly if you are going to finish in the top 2.The batting and fielding in the final game was very ordinary considering it was effectively an elimination final. Anyway I hope you do well in your new role and I look forward to seeing you make a few centuries this year.

I'd prefer if they kept the surprises for earlier in the year. We've got them Rd.11....

I think your right up there, but i think Damien Krotofil has been super at his club over a long period. The length of his form would have him above you both, i also think Chris Manakis does not recieve the reginiton he deserves.
A bloke who has slayed opponets for 12-14 years at the top level has been awesome and still continues to perform. One word

LONGEVITY

That must come into play when you speak about the comps best bats.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Pup,
Your shoe's undone!!

I very much doubt that is Ivan (no it's EE-varrrn, probably the same imposter as mr Buddh's) surely he wouldn't post that, i know he is a confident young chap, but that would be just asking for shit talk!!

think you might have forgot "the Big Dudd" when referring to comp best bats. I would put him, Chris & Squeak (only had 1 year in Longy, but will rack up some big scores in the coming years) as the top 3 then a fair few in a group like Costa, Mikko, Amoore etc...
Big Iv' to big a gap between innings.. 100 1 week vs spuds then a blob when it counts..450 runs last year -300+ in 3 games, or something similar..
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Brett, unless you are just trying to show off your knowledge of CMCA history, I think you are missing Ivan's point.

Indeed Dalec and Pothitos are "2 of the better bats" in the competition, according to last season. I don't think he was ruling out any others to be in the exalted company, but indeed Krotofil & Manakis can stake claims also. I'll wear my ANA hat and label Adam Mikkelsen as up there also, but in the end it's irrelevant as to the original debate.

The point was that Union have a right to make pre-season claims of a top 4 finish this season as they have two of the better bats in the comp, not just one.

Burg,
You are right on the money, surely ''the big moose '' would'nt be dumb enough to start squarking on this forum, he has enough pressure building up on himself with the captaincy issues.
If he is a smart operator, he will try to go about it low key and hope results take care of themselves.
If they don't, then this is when he will find out about how hard the job can be.
He will have a fair team on paper, this should be easier for him, but as you know, you need to make it happen on the park.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Let me confirm that the person titled 'Moose Delac' is not the person he claims to be. Similar to Krotofil-gate the other week, Big Cricket's 'Moose' is an imposter.

It's not worth buying into his comments any further.

no talk of tommy backman yet?

Tommy had his lime light a few weeks back, and as a mate of his he is staying at BUCC.

Regarding imposter moose post, they do have 2 of the comps best bats but that can be said about 6 sides atleast.

East have Duddy, Pitt & Dallas
Central Amoore
Mackie Clark, Park & Krotofil
Union Moose & Con
Uniting Turner, Manakis & if Burger puts Squeak in even after 1 year in LS then surely Backan sits in with Turner & Manakis after his 400+ run year
Ana Mikkelson & Campbell

So most sides have 2 gun bats in there XI, but the job gets done with the rest of the line up.
The good sides have depth, something the Carnegie, Le Page, Elwood and Omega last yeAR don't have.
