I'll have a quick go at picking some names who could make the team, add some as you please.

Rob Condy - Manifold
Adam Marsland - City
Jeremy Babb - South Barwon
Sean O'Neill - Thomson
Mitchell Herbison - Barwon Heads
Mitch Troy - North Geelong/Shore
Becker Nguyen - East Belmont
Mark Hanley - East Belmont
James Bottomley - Newtown
Dean Riches - Thomson
Troy Nolan - St Joeys

i understand i have probably missed alot of people but anyone feel free to throw some names up of the best u25s going around, and do you think the GCA Country Week team would play a warm up match against a best u25s side? I understand they would probably win easy, especially if they get there best team on the park but it would be good for the young guys to have a go!

Thoughts on the idea guys?

ok, at least it is a list, but it is tough to pick the young guys as alot of these guys are either in division 2 or play 2nd's in division one. From your list I would definetly be taking:
  • Marsland
  • Hanley (wk-capt) - this guy is very smart and a great kid
  • Becker
  • Condy
  • Babbs but he would drink any of the over 25 team under the table :)
  • S O'Neil

I have not seen much of the rest but Mitch Troy would probably make the side. Others to consider would be Fitzgerald and Hodgson from Joeys. The youngest Lymer from North Geelong. That Jaik Michelberg from Newtown if he is coming over again. Foorde and that tear away quick (Moreland) from BPH, now they reckon he has potential. He also looks like Corey Worthington, so that must count for something !!

Overall the over 25's would smash this team if they tried, but you know the young guns would be trying their arses off to beat the older guys so it would make for an interesting spectacle.
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

Well i reckon he is massively underused/underrated by someone there at West. I would rate him better than Marsland. Heavy ball, awkward bounce, i felt Marlsand was pretty straight up and down! Quick though, and ultra competitive!

if you live so close to city you should come past one saturday arvo in summer and score for us we need a new nuffy, the last one has gone to stalbans to play in there 1s.

so who do u think he is???? and who was the nuffy scorer that is at stalbans???

hodgy made a classy 40odd in the u21s last summer, was looking good til the skipper ran him out :(
havent seen fitzgerald bat but saw some of his scores in the 2s at joeys, think he posted a big 150odd and played the majority of the rest of the year in the 1s.
Michelberg isn't coming back, doing quite well for Essex 2s at the moment.
PLayed against moreland 2 years ago, was sharp-ish for a young fella but was quite erratic, eg: wear your helmet you might get a beamer haha :D
Could maybe throw ben dodds in ther from highton aswell, saw him bat 2-3 years ago and looked good, havent seen him score a run in the 1st XI tho :(

Herbison would definitely be in, was Vic u19 Squad member last summer. wasted at Barwon Heads imo
.
well i was gunna say anderton might be u25 but i think his zanoni's age so that rules that out.

yes hanley is quite a smart player and would make a great captain and i would think O'Neill V.Captain, good young player aswell with a lot of potential.

sorry Joe who is the west player? Glen Talarico or Josh Vborvski?
wouldn't fancy marsland on a deck with a bit of pace, could be a handful but i do agree he is somewhat unproven, but is young so will take time to prove himself.

1. G.Kelson. (great opener)
2. B.Smiljanic (hitting power)

6. D.Hughes (good allrounder)
7. M.Kelson (w/k)
8. C.Bambury (************)
9. T.Agg (left arm...wkt taker)
10. B.Tsitas (only spinner... prem capt)
11. G.Harper (pace line and length)

Stiff not to make it would be B.Allen and last years torquay pommie.

this team is subject to change.

if we are talking about Dream Team this season, then you would have to take out T.Agg as he is at Geelong, and take in B.Anderton. Even Harp's if he was only going to play 2's would not be picked, so would have to be replaced with possibly a Marsland to lift !! I am not sure if Gareth Yelland has the quality to make this side just yet. Also he may be pretty old but you cannot take away what Alf Clark does with the bat, he is stiff to miss.
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

interesting post by Cricket Guru on the Ballarat thread. hmmm, could be a smoke screen. Any takers on who they are ?
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

oh, and if Fergy plays in the GCA in any division he would be a handy 12th man !! And to keep our BPCA guys happy Jas Murray would be quiet handy to replace one of the all rounders.

always like to see how the young kids are going.
would be interesting to see an u25s team against that lot, they all seem to be over 25.
any thoughts on the GCA's/BPCA's best u25 team?

east belmont have so much depth, surely the envy of all other clubs in the region?

Yes east are a great club and have alot of great people behind the club and it took a club like south barwon to show that u can recruit and build from the bottom without paying players. as in east belmont have never payed players and never will.

heard you've been doing alright off field ;)

haha i am doing well, scoring a few, should be getting more tho :mad:
off field is also very fruitful, just trying not to chase the wide ones haha :D
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

ok, have to be:
  1. G Kelson
  2. Smellie
  3. G Talarico
  4. C Bambury
  5. The Hornet (c)
  6. A Clark
  7. M Kelson (wk)
  8. D Hughes
  9. B Anderton
  10. B Tsitas (vc)
  11. A Marsland
  12. Fergie (12th)

Would be a long list of unlucky players which could actually come into the line-up depending on how their season goes. The two joeys pick-ups in Morgan and Fanning are unknown at GCA level, and also the Chapelley pick-up at West. Looking at all the players we have available in the league, seriously, imagine the damage these sides could do at full strength. And not the 70 blokes they went through last country week carnival.

Marsland i wasn't impressed with. What's the left armer at West?
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

Josh Vrbovski or something like that. Based on the overs that Talarico bowled last season for West I reckon that he was totally wasted. Would need to bowl more overs for him to be an option. I suppose Rhys Zannoi would be an option from Leopold if he was switched on.
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

if u must know i played my cricket at leopold not thomson or st albans, so your a fair way off the money.

the reason i wouldn't and didn't play at city is coz your all a bunch of knobheads!!!! and you mate are the #1 ticket holder!!!!

i just enjoy following the cricket these days playing with the kids (not in a michael jackson way ;)) and waking up sore and stiff on a sunday :D
i do agree with you that you need to build from the bottom up and there are a few clubs doing that which is good to see.
i do however believe that it is ok to pay a few decent players, not huge money, provided they are going to contribute to the club and not just the 1st XI. I know at east Belmont that there tradition and profeesionalism warrants them not to pay players as players will play there because of there success but clubs such as AT, Manifold, Thomson, St Peters, Newtown are trying to build again, so a little bit of money spent on a good recruit is warranted in my opinion.

but as usual time will tell how successful the winter signings will be at their respective clubs.
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

i suggest u keep your messages to yourself, and watch yourself cricket guru, i got a fair idea who u r;)

anyway, i think the u/25 side would be a great idea, i think young sam schaller from barwon heads would make it and maybe fabris from collendina from what i'v heard both can really play!!!

If Tala didn't bowl he would be in that team as just a batsmen, he is class and when he is on there aren't to many bowlers who can or will rattle him

nah no city blokes at st albans, the more you talk about st albans the more i start to think something happen to you with someone from there?
c'mon let us know what happend so we can move on, did you get touched up for running your mouth? or someone from there done the deed with your misses? or maybe your just a loser that doesn't actually know anyone from there and your making it all up?

anyway im sick of talking about st albans and im from there!!! i wanna move on to more important stuff then your bullshit, if it aint to do with cricket take it to one of your gay chat lines or whatever else you do in your spare time.

Leigh Allen was rumoured to be playing at Drysdale but been told this is not the case, and he is staying put.
Peter Quick is coaching/captaining

Other guys that were part of the back to back
Drew Allen
Grant Dew
Timberlake

My money would be on Leigh Allen or Grant Dew. But has Dew won any league awards?
