WOW great indepth round preview by the addy this week, NOT!!!!!!!!

I cant beleive the Geelong Addy, its killing local sport. Where are the Decent write ups on Cricket, Hockey, Basketball, Tennis. there arent any but if any of the GFC Players blow there nose there is a 10 page spread with images and documented stories from witness'. In 6 hours of cricket it wouldnt be hard to get to 80% of the Games (3 Reporters/Photographers) stay for a little look at the books and talk to some players and get a decent outlook on each game and then report on it with images.

I reckon they would take it fairly seriously but don't know a lot about it. Do you know the rules regarding players, do they have to have played in the grand final side last year ? meaning new recruits can't play or is it open slather or if players have left the club ?

I dunno how serious the GCA clubs will take it. And going on last year I'm pretty sure any players that are registered at your club this year can play in it.

Should be worth a look ipl or babies arm can you let us know when and where your game is on when you know? and same to Bourney or Supersaint as when your game is on and where?

Cheers:D

When does it kick off? Cant wait to get down there with a few frothies and watch some good old fashion sloggin' esp from u mr IPL:cool:
Click to expand...

Our club just got an email from the GCA to let us know that we have a meeting next Wednesday night to discuss the format. Last season it was the Division 1 Grand Finalist's, the BPCA Grand Finalist's and the SLCA Grand Finalist's, but this season due to the SLCA disbanding and going to the GCA, it must have been decided that last season's GCA Div 2 Grand Finalists in Waurn Ponds and Guild/St Mary's were included. Not sure of the format of which teams play which or the location of the games, but I am sure we will find out next Wednesday night. In regards to taking it seriously every player that steps out for the Swans will be taking it seriously, that is for sure. Hoping to have a few of the games at the T20 friendly South Barwon oval. As for some slogging from IPL, it might be my chance to actually get up the order !!

Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

I have been hearing around the traps that the St Joey's ground is not in a good state at the moment. Can anyone shed any light on this one, as it has always been one of the best going around. Maybe Antsy can let us know what the problem is there ? An attack of rabbits, or are they not getting any water on the outfield ??

duno bout all this antsy business but anyway. the pitch was same as usual but the outfield was shocking. little potholes everywhere, and theres a fair amount of sand on the oval, it was like playen on the sahara desert. or maybe not that bad but u get my drift. definitley not as good as it has been in the past. but thats an opponent who got injured on it's opinion so take from it what you will. mayb theres a joeys player on the forum who can have a crack at answering it. blame the school lol

Div 2 was supposed to be in it last year; St Peters & Mano but because it was so hastily arranged, it didn't fit in with all parties. I heard that the scheduled game involving StPcc was supposed to be on the same day as their Major Raffle. Anyway, it's good to see that the event will be more organised and with great support this season.

Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

What grounds in Geelong have santa ana couch? and what grounds are getting it? It is a great surface for both cricket and football doesn't need much water and gets cut to 10-20mm so would be fantastic for cricket outfields.
