I agree, it was humerous at the start but that joke has now run it's race.

All the other stuff has been good but the barack & condolisa jokes are detracting from the rest of his work, atleast throw it in at the start so your write up only gets better as you can't go backwards Merlot.

Kind regards Brett.

I just call it how i see it.

DC - I have it on very good authority that Cheeks has done everything right (very unlike him!) to get the body right for this week. At the moment he's a very likely starter.

As for Cove, I'm led to believe it may be groin related. Big Bad Jimmy Olson is always a man in the know. Perhaps he can shed some light. One would think that if he was 50/50 he'll probably start given the importance of this game and the other 2 already non-starters.

Looked groiny to me Mick when it hapened on Sat. Guess they weigh it up and decide whether to risk him this week when they have the double shot.
Hmmm, double shots, I remember them.
Cheeks been in the hyperbaric chamber all week?

Burger, speculative odds mate otherwise I would be in the poorhouse very quickly. There is always someone from the clubs who you can get on with though.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Let's hope that the Executive sends some of its officials to the the One day Finals on Saturday.The behaviour last season of spectators at these matches was nothing short of a disgrace.Loads of eskies brought to the ground and by tea time many of these 'spectators' were so full they could barely stand. Added to that was the language,abuse and threats hurled at anyone daring to ask them to settle down.The club hosting the game may as well have closed its doors for all the sales they made.To add insult to injury the host club had to then clean up the ground.Just giving you a heads up Mick.Will be interested to hear how your club fares from hosting a finals match.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Does anyone know whether there was a tribunal hearing this week? If so what was the result?
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Cheers Clock. As far as I know, the club will only open the rooms for use of the toilets at this stage.

Maybe is was the club/s involved rather than the actual grade, As I'm involved with Centrals who are playing in the game I would think our supporters are fairly well behaived..

Mick, I hope the club will be opening more than the toilets- bar/ canteen etc. can you please let me know so I can inform our players/ supporters to BYO afternoon tea & drinks..
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

As discussed big fella, the power's back on and the clubrooms will be open from 8am til close with the canteen/bar available.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

The semi-finals edition of the Bentleigh ANA Cricket Show was recorded this morning, and we hope that it will be uploaded for viewing around lunchtime today.

To makeup for the fact that we have been slack in recent weeks, we will also be putting on an edited version of the YouTube show we recorded after the Battle of Glen Eira Twenty20 tournament. It requires editing due to having several guests on the show, including Chris Fidler, Luke Morrison, Chris Clement, Ben Zylbersztajn & Luke Forrest.

It must be warned that a fair bit of alcohol was consumed, and there were some flying bread rolls.

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Mick the cricket gods are smiling on you this week.Coming up against a BU which will have a revamped bowling line up. The last time you met HW 194 with three contributors and extras being the 4th top scorer. Need more from the rest of the lads and also bat out your overs.Would prefer to see you bat down the order.Nonetheless, I can't help feeling that your settled line up should give your boys the edge and book a spot in the Prelim final. Moorabbin West to hit back hard and will defeat KH. I get the impression that KH are starting to get a little ahead of themselves based on some of the comments overheard.
East Sandy will book another GF spot, despite rumours of injured bowlers.BU have certainly had a hex placed upon them.Perhaps an exorcism before the game??It could not hurt.West Bentleigh with probably the worst percentage ever recorded for a finals team, come up against the wobbly Elwood.Bat-v-Ball. The last time these teams met back in Round 2 Mr Bunting (151) and Mr Harris (79) compiled a lazy 230 opening wicket partnership and then declared at 5/255 with only 57 overs complete.(A touch arrogant) WB then crumbled quicker than the English middle order. Tipping an upset with WB to avenge their Round 2 hiding.Good luck to all.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Any predictions on the games this weekend? Everyone on this forum seems so well informed
As a Past Hack my thoughts are that the boys club to be too strong for union, should be a close one in the 1st semi although i think the west boys with an edge in finals exp to get over the woods.

I've batted lower than 3 once this year Clock, for a big fat blob last weekend. That said, we were very happy with our opening partnership. 1st wicket went after 25 overs and the 2nd opener in the 38th. Despite a mini-collapse we felt that was the most settled our line up has looked - especially with McInerney (10 innings averaging 66 in Woolnough this year) to come back in after the constabulary rostered him on at the races last week. A quiet air of confidence given the circumstances, but we'll need all hands on deck. Have seen the sprinklers on in the early morn at Hurly this week, so expect the ground to be a lot slower. 194 might be enough.

Agree with all your predictions besides the other Woolnough game. Not sure KH are the arrogant type. More pride than arrogance from my experiences with them. MW have some passengers. Need big things from the Workers, Wallace and McConville and like us, the bottom few will need to step up.

Anyone got mail on Merlot? Hope there hasn't been another incident in Mumbai. This forum needs him.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Longy - East Sandy's bowling attack will be too good for Brighton Union, while Elwood will end West Bentleigh's lucky run into the finals

Woolnough - Moorabbin West won't have enough depth to compete against the 'confident, not arrogant' Kingston Heath, while I'm tipping Union to just get over the line against Mick's boys.

ANA to defeat Union in D Grade & Washups in E Grade.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Good Evening Hibernation bears Merlot is back in the land of OZ,however at 9.41 Sunday night I cannot get any scores off that excuse for a website.

Never the less let me respond to those kind enough to think of me while I was negotiating multi million dollar deals in the land of IPL.

Uncle Mick you SNAG I take your point about your M..... just like B I don't want to tread on dangerous ground so no further mention of the aformentioned person will take place.But you did start it with the reference to being liked with the two caps on your head.

By the way did you like the picture of B in the local rag and was that really C..... P...... next to him or was it a typo.

UM I was a little disappointed with the reference to Merlot as an unknown just when I thought our mutual admiration society was starting to take off.Merlot is not an unknown after nearly a million hits on his Indian Bollywood site and judging by the requests for my where abouts in the last few days as I was in transit and struggled to get decent reception from some of the dodgy islands on the journey back to Oz.

I see from the un updated pathetic website that the left hand sliders accounted for 5 of Union Powers finest and have no idea whether the Golden Greek had you straining the neck to watch balls heading to the cumulus clouds or not.

I did get one of the aids to tape Jimmy's program and did listen to it on the ride back from the airport with a mention of the GG scoring 28 before UM claimed his scalp.No doubt you could fill me in and advise me how you went with the willow!

Another snipet from Jimmy's program was the results of this week's tribunal which again are no where to be found on the website.Jimmy advised that the Golden Greek mark 2 got 3 weeks and the former gold cap iron gloves now at the Golf club got 2.

Uncle Mick isn't time we stood up in protest and demanded better service as you would think that it maybe news worthy that the reigning Brownlow Medalist ( aka G Knights Sports Award player of the year winner ) could rate a mention by being denied a spot in the finals series even though he was injured.

It seems that the tribunal may have been taping into the forum as they handed out their heaviest sentence since Ned Kelly was hanged but I suppose that they were due to actually suspend someone and that they were not wearing a gold cap made all the easier.

Another rumour from a woman who has a relation who works in the paper shop where Frank Robinson delivers newspapers from was that a very good first year umpire would do the semis, and the walking site screen/beer keg was also a chance to get a gig.Harry Sherrard was about 10 Burger bourbons to one to go back to back in Longy.Can you shed any light on the umpire appointments for me not that I have ever liked umpires they are just a neccessary part of the game.

That's enough questions for you Uncle you are either celebrating or commiserating so I don't want to overload you but it is good to be back home and in contact with you again.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Brett and FFF,

Let me put you straight Brett while your name is really Brett or soon to be the Maranatha Medalist and FFF yours is fictiious just like mine I need to use names like Barrack and condeleesa to point out who should be doing things.Also I have had PM from forumsters who actually like the Barrack and Condeleesa jokes and Merlot is not censored or silenced by others!

Clearly to have no scores up at 9:41 on a Sunday night because Jimmy has gone to a stray cats concert is simply not good enough.

Some CMCA officials have been remunerated, you only have to read the annual report to know that and maybe it is time that a webmaster was remunerated and some of the Essendon war bonds were spent for the better servicing of the many interested members of the CMCA.

Brett you are no longer a member at Barrack's club so stop toeing the party line and gives something instead of the mis conception that eveything is rosy!
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Has Ham & Cheese been sighted since my off shore adventours?

What was the quality of the finals afternoon tea was there any twistees in sight?

Burger I heard on Jimmy's program you both got runs and wickets with those pies you bowl, has there been an invasion fron mars while I have been away?

How was the behaviour at Gold Cap reserve and was there spectators drinking from there own eskies rather than using the services of the Gold Cap canteen?Did they use the toilets rather than the neighbours back fence?

Did the CMCA appoint ground managers to each of the finals grounds and were their services needed?

Like Uncle Mick most of you hibernation weekend bears are either celebrating or commiserating and Merlot is a bit weary and jet lagged so I will leave there and look forward to a bit of jousting during the week.

PS Archie I have studied the glorious annals of stumped and will make comment on many of the memorable ones during the week after I get my bearings back.Enjoy the Horlicks!
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

I have just noticed when signing off Merlot has been elevated from Rookie status to Member which brings back memories of my elevation into the MCC so I could utter those immortal words Go Dees!
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

The Champs won by 7 wickets. Brighton Union made 200 yesterday after a day filled with some of the worst umpiring decisions ever seen (going both ways i might add). Early on in the day there seemed to be a couple of LBW decisions, a run-out and a "was it a bump ball" that all went Union's way which definitely should have gone the Gold Caps way. However, the umps sure did make up for it later, two Union boys were given out LBW later on when they absolutely smashed the cover off them. Was a fair recovery by Union after being 8/120ish finishing 9/200 with the big fella finishing 70*. The Champs were never troubled being 0/62 off 8 overs and eventually passing the score with about 15 overs to go. Duddy (~55*), Phelan (57), Devereaux (42) and Corp (~30*) made the runs.

West Bentleigh made 230ish and Elwood were 4/130 with around 30 overs to go the last i heard.

Commiserating, Merlot. A wise man once told me catches win matches. Never a truer word spoken.
No neck straining courtesy of Con, but the young fella at the end did give us hell. With another suspension impending in Longmuir and only 1 bowler taking a wicket y'day, young Blair would have to be a very big chance to get a call up.
Full credit to Union. They had a fair bit of luck, but stuck at it and got away from us at the end on Saturday. We always felt 263 was a very gettable total, but pulled up 32 short in the end. Very disappointing end to the season, but the better side won out.

How long til the CMCA introduces the referral system?:mad:
