Pup (Koala),
Get over the whole 'who is the real DK' thing, starting to make you look quite paranoid??
Like i have said, only harmless banter, so real dramas there..
It's what we cop every sat at the crease, so time to build a bridge in my opinion.
I to am not a fan of misc. posters, but hey it's a public web forum so people can do what they like.. Just don't waste yr time with them
It's funny though coz' when i was reading 'the phantom' posts i could actually picture Buddh's saying a few of those things, after all he isn't short of a word/few back handers on the field.. All in good fun though @|
Off to see the "Buddy train" tonight.. stopping all stations to September (with a special visit to Geeeelong..) TOOT-TOOT

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade
There is this 17yr old, who is a real talent with the ball and a very good bat.
There is a 2 leg spinners whom are 15 & 16 years old that are unbelieveable, this one kid called Vito drift, turn & accuracy just astonishing.
There are 2 18 year old boys who have returned from district cricket and apparantley our English import is a very good player but he does not arrive untill late September.
He has played at this club for a few years with some good stats, so overall its a very young club with the young kids req guidance and nutureing.
The senior sides have been all finishing around the bottom of the table, so there is a hell of alot of work to be done but there all putting in with 43 that have trained so far.
Hard decissions will be made as young kids will be played, there might be short term pain but i believe the first can push for the finals.
As to the opposition i have no idea whats so ever, but in saying that i am concentrating on the areas i can work on and develop it should be a enjoyable year with many ups and downs i am sure.
But i am happy i choose this club instead of my other option, new rooms with 2 grounds side by side 1 turf and 1 synthetic nice people and well organised.
So by the way who am i talking to, and thank you for your interest.
Ps does anyone know of someone who is an English teacher, as THE STAY PUFT MARSHMELLOW MAN mentioned my English is terrible lol.

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade
Hey thSerious,
The Duncan St Boys deserve their pre season odds, however they will be tested this season by a number of clubs.
Lets do a summary;
The Patterson Rd crew will be out to redeem themselves from last years turmoil, the coach will be under extreme pressure one again, Brown will be HUGE LOSS, they need 2 players to be in the mix, rumors are that they have recruited well.
If the boys down the highway get this act together, they will have the best batting side in the comp, will be hard to beat, just have to keep their egos in check, early losses could see them explode.
The George boys have been training very hard already, expect them to be right up there, have a tough draw, but should be thereabouts around xmas break, this will set them up for the run home.
The machine could lose the wheels altogether, pressure will be on them right from the start, they are a talented group, but need a quality spinner and also need some recruits to bolster the top 2 grades.
The May boys or should we say Amore boys need to show that last season was not a one year wonder, there have been a few clubs over the years that have found it difficult to back up and get consistancy.
Washups will need to play cricket instead of spruiking themselves up every season, they appear to have their coaching all settled, lets hops their players can improve enough to climb into the top 4.
The boys from the Brick will also be under extreme pressure in the e arly rounds, they would not like to have to fend off relegation again this season.
High expectations combined with a new C&C should be enough to lift them out of the dark zone.
Down at Lake Centenary, their is always high goals set in the pre season, their losses can be covered with some of their younger players, but we all know that the young players need time to develop, will be around the money at the end, but how much, will be the question.
Sorry about the rest, but they are just not up to at this stage, will be fighting relegation again, good agument for a ten team comp.

Hi Spot,
Can you elaborate, i mean its easy to just pump them up, but tell us why.
Your comments don't stack up with some reasoning.

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade
ESBCC - Should slip into the top four. Will lose a couple from 07/08 but they always seem to find a couple of others ready to jump on the bandwagon.
HCCC - Dads Army. Expect them to be unbeatable in the CMCA super rules over the coming years but unfortunately they tend to fold quicker than a bloke with a pair of two's at the card table.
Mackie - Good batting side at Coatsville with extremely short square boundaries but regularly found out on the bigger grounds. Reasonable bowling attack but lacks variation. Finals will not be played at Mackie Rd and the boys simply cannot play through the V so expect them to have a good year and violet crumble when it matters.
BUCC - The Meth will struggle. Arguably the second most successful side behind ESBCC in recent years. Have lost a lot of quality and the rest aren't getting any younger. The batting will be reliable but Surridge will not run through sides as he once did.
BUCC - The Collingwood of the CMCA. The comp just would not be the same without the Hurlingham crew. Will have an extremely strong batting line up to make up for the mediocre bowling. Probably wont choke as badly as R11 last year but will have to somehow find a way of bowling sides out to progress to the business end of March...taking crucial catches might help to reduce the choke factor as well.
WBCC - After making (and losing) two consecutive GF's, it was always on the cards that they would have a bad year. The loss of Ms Brown will help the other players feel a part of a team again and they will give the final four a nudge. They will be heavily reliant on Holmes, Frew and the Underbelly boys.
WP - Always count on the guys from Shark Park to splash the cash and unveil another huge name to the ranks of the CMCA, but the pressure of expectation combined with the park cricket mentality generally finds them out. They will upset the odd top side but also tend to lose to the cellar dwellars.
Elwood - Have become a one man team and his best is well and truly behind him. If he can recover from the experience of captaining them last year, Ano will continue to make truckloads of runs but will need some support if they are to register a few wins.
Omega - Have installed a clearly defined youth policy which will hold the club in good stead over the coming years and have appointed a quality person to guide them through. Awarded the wooden spoon last season, they will improve but will rely on McGaw, Reimers and FatBoy to be competitive through the rebuilding phase.
CS - Will start the season as redback hot favourites for the wooden spoon and relegation. If BUCC are the Collingwood of the CMCA, these guys are the Fitzroy. They need a player or three to really step up to the level but don't seem to have the cattle.
LePage - Will give the Lords Lads a run for their money in the battle for the wooden spoon as they have been decimated by the departures from their Woolnough premiership team. They struggled last year after promotion and this season looms as being even tougher.
ANA - Hate em and couldn't care less.

Who has jumped on the bandwagon over the last thseven thsuccessthful thseasons? Apart from Uncle Mick coming along last year to join a handful of his best mates the teams have always been full of past junior players and others that have been there for years.

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade
Now hang on just a second. There was no bandwagon for me to jump on. All reports before the season proper were that the wheels had fallen off at ESBC and were hurtling down Duncan Street. Dropped the 1st semi in 06/07 and lost Cheeks not long after.
Then along came their saviour. Just when it looked like the reign was over I picked them up off the canvas and carried them home. Had a little help from the tight collars the Centrals boys were wearing in the 2nd semi, but you need a bit of luck.
That's how I remember it anyway. <this would be the point I'd add in an emoticon, but they're gay>

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade
Pretty sure you'll find Brendan thSmith played in the 01/02 premiership which was the first of the recent lot and continued to play in multiple flags. Hardly jumping on the bandwagon. Anyone else dipsh!t....?

Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade
That is a silly comment about Flahive jumping on the bandwagon, because as Mick correctly points out, everyone was salivating at the thought of East Sandy falling apart after ANA knocked them off in the semi final in 06/07. Mick certainly added value last season - I know first hand.
As for us, I don't know much about H Grade this season, as our 5th XI have gone up to F Grade as a result of winning the flag. That puts our top 5 teams in the top 6 grades (no side in C Grade).
