Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

As Eddie McGuire the Collingwood President would say what a big week/day in Football/Cricket,not really the day to be off the air in high level meetings with my Indian counter parts.

Adam,

Let's start with your absurd masterstroke statement ,executive and masterstroke could never be used in the same breath.Further other comps have had these rules in place for over 10 years!

Uncle Mick,

I particularly like the Barrack long face line it reminds me of a horse!To think that Barrack the most powerful man in the world had a Presidential decree that the game would be played at Gold Cap Park shows his power and that he was able to roll Collo's mate in the process just shows the power of the man.Clubs like yours at Highett West should be able to bid/tender if the home club does not want the gig as it would be a good earner.

Archie ( mmmmmm )

95% of the punters can't explain the rule because as we are not club secretarys we have never been given the information.Oh to turn back the clock when I was the Condelezza of a local club and I used to get the gestetner copies of info in the purple ink, to keep me up to date.These youngsters would never have seen such a marvelous document.

By the way did young Arch salute in the Grand Final?I have no problem being noticed as I stroll through the milling crowds at the oasis and Home of cricket
little did they know that the mysterious Merlot was in their presence sampling some of the local canteen produce.

While never a big student of the rules I left it up to the BBQ mob (if they knew of their appointment) to adjudicate whether they be in the all white colours of the club,the Carlton navy blue or some other pshycidalic ( how's the spelling UM ) colour,afterall that's what they are paid for.I see with the belated appointments making their way to the inefficient website that my 10 burger bourbons to 9 prediction saluted the judge with allen and Stamos getting the big gig.Just a pity that Johnny boy didn't get a copy or a phone call re the appointment.


TFS,

While backward,ineffient,inept or all the other in words I can't think of at least Barrack and the Congress will get the games decided on the ground,admittedly in different conditions but it is far better than results being made in the boardroom table.

Jimmy

You have been blowing your own Bugle asking us to cut the exec a bit of slack, come off it.They are put in there to do a job some even get paid,some even take off their club caps but at the end of the day we the cricketing public judging by todays record entries ( it's a wonder B didn't make a contribution ) have no idea of what's going on in the big dances on the that one day/s in March.

Is the mighty Gold Park empire starting to crumble when a few lackeys can't be found to staff the canteen!Don't they need the profits to pay this year's contracts!

Uncle Mick,

Barrack of the long face or the Umpires Adviser what's his name has anyone ever seen him,should be making a Presidental statement from the Oval office to clarify the 15 different interpretations of the rules.

Clocker

As stated to Adam previously common sense and the congress are not two words that should be used together.

Bluey opps Fanta pants ,

Has the empire fallen away so dramatically that you couldn't even hire a couple of kids or mums to provide a bit of nourishment to the sharks as they swum around your lake where the opposition would have thought they were back home in Brady Rd!

Jimmy,

The book may get read and it's a wonder the CIA haven't been sent out, but at the end of the day the old saying 'the lights on but there is no body at home '

Burger

Commisserations on the loss but it was good to see a Cloke finally win a Grand Final unlike his little brother who was pussy cat mauled on the Friday night.Something Adam and I will have to get use to but I have been told on good authority I will still be able to get my usual high quality drop of Merlot in the long room on the leather couches.I see the fastest gun in town Micky Aldred didn't pick up a swag of wickets or a hat trick but did he stifle the run rate and did you club him over the fence with that huge willow you wield?

I feel that one of Archie's ( mmmmmmm ) horlicks is just around the corner

Until next time Merlot
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Merlot,

Firstly, it ain't Bluey, so try again.

Next, I think the theory was that with 9 Junior teams, and 6 senior sides, plus 80 odd milo kids, a weekend off for the few who volunteer their time around the club week in week out, may not be too much to ask leading up to GF weekend. Fiscally, hiring a couple of "lackeys" to run the canteen/bar is unworkable, given that generally in games not involving the "Gold Caps" at RG Chis the profit from such ventures would be lucky to reach the $150-$200 mark.

That's not nearly enough to cover our TPP for the season, or any seanon for that matter! Even though I think you'll find we probably have the least TPP in the top flight! If we have some cash left over at season's end perhaps we can throw some at a few disgruntled players around the comp and abroad, any sugestions? Because that seems to work wonders!

perhaps we may have to follow you to the clearskin bin at DM's as times are tough!

Jimmy,
Living near LPP, I hope the ban was forwarded to the "step-into-life" groups that train their most mornings and evenings, as they have had a great time having LLP #1 for themselves. Maybe a few sick Nanna'a around!
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Uncle Mick,
Are you playing with my mind?On the above post this morning you congratulated Jumbo,and as you had replied to me I thought you thought I was an elephant,was John Park or my posts were as enormous as an elephant, or thought I had eaten too much afternoon tea at the oasis?Then this afternoon you change it to Cedric that marvellous ( Richie likes that word ) servant of Adam's mighty ANA club.Again Pauline Hanson with her clothes on or off depending on which one she is would say ' Please explain '

A bit of a slow news day after the hectic day yesterday but word filtered through that Barrack and one of his top advisers vetoed decisions made by the BBQ mob and captains leaving one particular love child in the pits!

Apolgies Bluey not that old Merl is use to it ,the last time was when Ceasar crossed the Nile,for mistaking you for that high flyimg corporate accountant that you played with in the Gold Cap Wooly side when his pie floaters may have snared him a Wooly bowling average,which sometimes interferred with his part time position as Secretary of the club.

As Archie ( mmmmmm ) said to Old Merlot be carefull don't give too much away, I think I live near Le Page Park ,the home of the Red Carpet Hilton was a bit too much information!Did you take the doggy bag to collect the canine deposits.Do I need to take another try and it is a wonder we haven't bumped into each other in the 'FISCAL ' part of town in Collins st with all the other financial corporate high flyers?As previously stated there are only a few Gold Caps who can turn on a computer most of them are carpet layers or plasterers!

Word has filtered through at an Acland st coffee shop ( the only place for coffee and cake ) that Ham & Cheeses mob did snare the top arvo tea award at the red carpet Hilton.Further word had unconfirmed reports of Ham & Cheese and B kast seen on a mad Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday etc... I hope someone finds them as I may run out of material once the cricket finishes!

Being St Patricks day and with a few drams of Eire blood in the Merlot body I will forgo the usual drop of Merlot for a drop or two or three of the Finest Irish whisky

Uncle Mick don't ruin the mystery of trying to find merlot's identity as Burger would say there is only one Buddy big head , and syntax or not Old Merl is just having a bit of fun while the guessing game continues amongst the regulars as to who he might be? I will wander through the crowd again at the oasis and home of cricket looking for the long face one surrounded by security guards contemplating if he can get in before the AFL and change another rule to confuse as all!

Archie ( mmmmmmm ) that Horlicks certainly does the job and I may try and see if I can get a sponsorship ( we mention them enough on the forum )for Uncle Mick's mob seeing Barrack denied them the opportunity of fiscally running a canteen to balance their budget and as they have no TPP it will would have left money in the bank to start the new season in front.

Until next time the wee drop of Irish Whisky beckons Merlot
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Merlot,
You are the equivalent of that group called ‘Annonymous’ that tormented the Scientologists. Is there any chance that you could get onto YouTube with a digitally enhanced appearance and voice and share your vitriol?

To the Executive, how hard was that to issue a clarification statement? Right or wrong will be debated, however it is now out there.With respect to the Woolnough match it appears that common sense has prevailed. How about updating the Tribunal website?

Bottsy,

Good question that, its the first thing i thought of when reading the statement.
Best of all, '' I can't wait until the Merlot Man gets on to it ''.
He seems to have some good contacts, lets hope he can solve this riddle.

Just a reflection, ''ARE WE ALL MISSING SOMETHING'' or is this really the shambles it appears to be.
I will be the first to put my hand up if we have indeed missed the boat as the tide went out.:confused:

Clockman,
Excuse my ignorance, but what is the common sense that has prevailed?
Why does Woolnough have a different set of arrangements, if that's what is being put forward and agreed to.
Hope Boofa gets well soon, he would certainly be able to sort this out.

Common sense has prevailed because the two skippers and the Umpires agreed to a course of action and the Executive has wisely kept out of it.If they had overruled the decision and demanded that ordinary conditions apply then M.West may have had cause for an appeal. There ofcourse was nothing to stop KH simply declaring when the overs were due...or is this deemed a contrived result(joke).If KH end up losing then I suspect that questions within KH will be asked, but they always be respected for their stance.I suspect the likes of you Archie and Sugar would be holding your collective hearts at the thought of giving an opponent a look in.

On what authority that decision was made is another issue, and I suspect Merlot may have touched upon this in his last post.

Re Quote below;
Perhaps its time that all clubs have the appropriate equipment to deal with these issues better, a couple of super soaker rollers, a air blower, and a couple of squegies, should be on every clubs agenda for next season.

Thats it Clocker, i'm going out to get my club some equipment for next season and beyond.
Then i'm going to discuss the games with the captains of the opposition clubs, then we 'll discuss the issues with the umpires and come to an agreed '' course of action ''.
Stuff everyone else, whoever plays the old Arch's mob next year will be in for a treat, no need to consult the rules committee.
I might even get some covers for my beloved 5 year old piece of carpet.

Oh by the way, What was the ''course of action '' Can you elaborate and bit more.:D
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

This is all about as clear as mud. Not sure what is meant to be happening on Saturday but on Sunday as far as I heard the plan was for Kingston Heath to finish their 65 overs and Moorabbin West to get the remaining 59 overs with no loss of overs between innings.

That is why it was baffling to see Kingston Heath block out the last six overs.

Hope that helps Archie.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Well,Well Wel ( 3 holes in the ground )

What another big day in cricket,

Adam from masterstroke to mess it is amazing how quickly the wheel turns!One competition two sets of rules,cricket is a funny game.I suppose if you and I have a drag down East Boundary Rd,you can go 70 k's but I have stay on 50 k's.

Clocker

I have more than warmed to you as your courteous replies unlike the gold cap ones leave me barely ruffled.

You seem a well educated person,a bit Brighton Grammar esq, would slip comfortably into the square leg club at the home of cricket,and would probably enjoy a full bodied red.Keep up the good work Merlot would like to share a glass with you in the long room one day.Adam and the now very quiet Mikko may be able to produce a youtube for me ( I would have no idea the last movie I did was super 8 and waiting 2 weeks for it to be processed was a real pain.

While we welcome the finals clarification statement unsigned as it was who actually produced it Barrack,Hilary,the executive or Joe the camera man?


Jimmy

you are out of touch, what happened to your bat phone direct link to the Oval office?


Bootsy,

You must be torn between loyalties as you watch the old mob play at the new mob's oasis , having the odd can with Vass trying to keep him under control!

Your comment about the Woolly arrangement I have it on very good authority ( a woman on the train actually ) that there was a similiar arrangement negiotiated at Longy only for the long face one and one of the hench men who both Archie and Jimmy think is not currently with us vetoed the whole affair.Not being a student of the rules I am not even going to try and understand them!

Archie ( mmmmmm ) Didn't need the Horlicks the Irish whisky sent me off to noddy land like many other Irishmen yesterday.

Yes my contacts are endless some of them don't even know that they are my contacts,but I would need Tom Cruise and the Mission Impossible team to solve a riddle like Barrack!Facts what facts he doesn't use facts!

Again I repeat we cannot use common sense and the congress in the same breath!

Clocker

Yes I did touch on what authority the decision that was made and have again repeated it above,but I am still getting over the shock that it actually made it's way to the website faster than Usain Bolt ( Uncle Mick is that the correct spelling ) giving us some information at last, it made me reach for the unfinished bottle of Irish whisky and it is now not as unfinished as it was before.

Uncle Mick,

Where are you with all this commotion going on, I hope you haven't absconded with B, or having a mad Mon, Tues,Weds with Ham & Cheese after his club's arvo tea success.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

I would have continued the last post but it would have been bigger than War & Peace.

After my 10th Irish whisky I have come up with the solution to all our problems,Old Merlot is going to put a ticket together to wrest power from Barrack and co.

Here are the nominations

President Merlot how could you go past such a distinguished gentleman
and it will at last expose him to the masses.

V/Pres Archie ( mmmmm ) Burger thinks we are the same person so why not continue the charade and I need a good right man or woman?

Secretary Clocker He gives me the impression that he has done the job before and his eloquentness would make the minutes pure magic.I was considering the 6 smasher but he seems to have disappeared and we would never get the minutes as his key board would keep sticking.

Treasurer Fanta pants who lives near Le page how could we go past the fiscally folic one.He would have our TTP and canteen budgets balance in a flash.

Finals Grounds & canteen allocation Uncle Mick Where there will sure to be games played at Highett West 7 days a week and he will be lucky that the fiscal one is just around the corner at gold cap park to help him with the huge takings.

Umpires liaision Vass How could we go past him.

Website Manager Sugar this is a no brainer as the best website in the CMCA nears 200,000 hits we may lure him with a big retainer to get some of the green & gold stuff into the sickly navy & sky blue web site.

Press Correspondent Jimmy but on today's effort he will need to lift his game and tap into Merlot's contacts.

Forum Moderator Barrack you have to give the past President a job but only on the condition he doesn't shut down the forum like he did to our predecessor.

Catering Ham & Cheese if we can find him.

Betting Coordinator Burger but only if the bets are in Burger bourbons and the congress or the fiscal one gets a cut.

B you can name your own position as the instigator of this fun filled site and any others who don't wear Gold caps are welcome to nominate themselves.

I look forward to you accepting the nomiations as proposed and as always

until next time Merlot
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

I have it from a reliable source that no agreement was made in Woolnough.
The captains were told that play would go to 6pm and the remaining overs would be bowled on the reserve Saturday. The team batting second was then to face what was left of the 65 overs.
So how come one GF is played under a completely different set of rules to the rest of the competition?
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

Merlot,
Even our Lord expressed his exasperation at the current situation yesterday afternoon at approximately 4.30pm.

I suspect our paths have crossed on a few occasions. Nonetheless I would enjoy partaking in a red or two and comparing notes on our respective share portfolios.Interesting selections for the new committee.You forgot to add Adam Mikkelson as Chairman of the tribunal. All hearings would be broadcast live via YouTube.Jimmy would be responsible for pre and post hearing interviews….no jokes please, just the facts.

Archie,
Absolutely no idea what was agreed upon, but it follows if you read the statement from the Executive.Bottsy seems to have a clear understanding of the situation.

Golf,
If you are correct in your assertion, then Bottsy had better arrange for a few of the Mackie lads to act as security.It could become quite unruly on Saturday.

With promotion to Longmuir Shield on the line, one suspects this saga will not end with the completion of the match.Unfortunately the Longmuir final has taken a back seat, which is a shame as the game could become quite interesting if West Bentleigh manage a few quick wickets. All roads to the Bowling Club on Saturday.

May God have mercy upon us all. Amen.
 
Re: CMCA- Ommies to remain in top grade

The one-day grade Grand final finished at 6.45pm after more than an hour was lost.

If you read the rule book, it states clearly that it should have finished at 6pm. Another case of rules on the run.

Merlot,

I thought applying the reserve day this season was perfect timing considering the first weather affected grand final weekend in years. However again the CMCA decide to tamper with the rules based on the Bureau of Meteorology's forecasts (as they did with the juniors in January). This has made the status of the Grand Finals a shambles.

If you are going to drive at 50km on East Boundary Road, make sure you're on the right lane so we can leave King George without you getting in the way.

What I will say about the reserve day is the disappointment on the faces of those who had booked their RDO's/sick days/annual leave days in preparation for their for Mad Monday this week.

Spare a thought for the boys at East Sandy, as they are likely to sew up Longy again, and party hard on Saturday night. The problem is that I believe they have their presentation day on Sunday afternoon, and will need to be in a somewhat reasonable state for the kids!
