Re: DVCA Barclay Shield 09/10
You're probabaly one of the more qualified blokes to talk about Baker being the only thing Mernda have - being that you're own club is very much a one man club, probably even more so.
If Minney doesn't play Eltham don't win, and even when he does play and has a 'day out' as you call it as he did on the weekend.... Yep, still lost.
I think you add value to this forum, and best of luck to you, but come off it champion. Have a look in your own backyard before you go round slagging off a club that's just won a Barclay Shield as a one man unit.

Re: DVCA Barclay Shield 09/10
Most of the things you have just said have merit! And I am happy to cop what you are saying, but a couple of points need to be address!
** Yes Eltham have every right to be considered a one man band! I have never once said otherwise! And if skips doesn't play, I cannot see Eltham beating many/any sides! I love the club, but I also call it how it is!
** To say have a look in your own backyard, I did NOT bring up the topic of Mernda/Research, someone else did and i commented. As you did with this comment. And if you want to play that game, no Gibbs = Riverside struggles!
** And I didn't bag Mernda as a club, and yes they won the flag last year, but as i have said previously. Hawthorn were the same. Awesome last year, but duds this year. Mernda could not bat last year, and have lost Snowy this year (knob but huge loss) and Baker had a BRILLIANT year, and carried them through. All out for 120, and Baker roles the other team for 100.
Therefore all my points are valid, and i have every right to comment and you cannot argue with anything i have just said. You try to change my comments around to say they are the worst club in the world!

Re: DVCA Barclay Shield 09/10
Ian Chesterton had a handy year last year, capped off with 10 wickets in the semi to get them in...
I understand that Baker is Mernda's best, by an absolute street probably, and that every club has their best player, with the exception of 1, 2 or maybe 3 sides that have a best 2 or 3 players.
But to say that Mernda are no chance against ANY opposition without him is a bit of a stretch, just my opinion.

Hasn't Chopper won 2 Money Shield best and Fairests? Not a bad bit part player, I'd have him any day of the week.

And again...

It's a pity he gave the game away when he did though, would have been nice to see him play against the likes of Minney, Love, Gibbs, etc.
You'd have to say he'd have held his own in Barclay Shield.

Positive 1. They made 21, could have been less.
Positive 2. They get to try and restore some pride again this week, it's not life or death.

Re: DVCA Barclay Shield 09/10
It`s cricket mate! Yes not good enough, but no one at Research is dwelling on it. 53 runs to make next Sunday to secure 6 points and not only an opportunity to get back on the horse but an opportunity for some leadership to shine through.

Re: DVCA Barclay Shield 09/10
They made 311 last wee! We have all had days where everything goes wrong. To bowl Riverside out for 160 (not sure exact score) proves they are up to it. Their batting let them down, and from what i hear there were 4 shocking decisions in Elthams innings. And that was from Riverside players.
Get all the facts and look at them as a whole, not just the score!
