wel u did say we were 2 of the most arrogant blokes going around, in my opinion that is saying something about us as blokes.
i'm unproven yet i proved myself by coaching my team into the semi's last year.
i respect your opinions but it doesn't make any sense to me sorry.
and who said it made me a better coach.
Grant Dew asked me if i'd like to be captain of the 21s and i jumped at the chance, like most cricketers would if given the oppurtunity.
i love coaching thomson and i am especially interested in the progress of our juiors, which as all clubs know are the future.

Look i wasnt trying to pikk a fight...
i was just asking a simple question to these blokes..
as to who would they would rather have coach them between 2 of the youngest coaches in the gca..
about the arrogant bit.. ur rite i dont no ya's..
And as for ur chances this year.. youse seem to have done the hard yards in recruiting over the pre season and good lukk to yas

In my mind i would say Darren Kiddle. I played against him when he made 151 at north, it was amazing. Brad Hauenstein is another player who is just a weapon with both bat and ball.

Ur obviously from north geelong...
hows there recruiting going.. obviously colin millard has jumped on board..
any other quiet pick ups that we dont no about

quite the opposite of arrogant, loves his cricket on the field and one of the better blokes going around of it.
so Hard Wicket Roller if you don't know about it, don't comment.
Know for a fact that the president is very pleased with the work O'Neil and Saltamacchia are doing, especially with the juniors. They are obviously headed in the right direction.

who you associated with Hard Wicket Roller?

it would be good if the GCA and BPCA worked together and tried to get all the leagues involved in a 20/20 tournament.
Maybe a knockout event, where the leagues are seeded.
Divvy 1 clubs get a bye first round or something like that.
I'm suer the div3clubs and BPCA would love to be involved.

Could easily be done during the warmer months of jan/feb.
6 o'clock starts, be finished 9.
Thoughts on the idea guys?
:D

st albans, we got jason murray coaching, and jonesy asst coach.
kept everyone from last year with sean o'leary back.

That St Albans team really struggled with the spin of Schaller last year, maybe with him gone they will get back on track to win a flag. Was he the best player in the comp? looked good from the outside!

WHO IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PLAYER TO ANY ONE TEAM IN GEELONG?

This doesn't have to be the best player, just the most important to there team.....

i would have to say brad haurnstein he's done the bulk of the run scoring for many years at south barwon, if he gets a score they win 9/10 times.

feel free to suggest others.

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

That Michell, most talented player i have seen of his age around Geelong for a while, small in stature but his bowling is underated, as well as his wicketkeeping....im sure if he puts his mind to it can acheive big things, not worth it if he goes to Heads, there strong enough anywaym, they will be GCA soon.....Imagine...Herbison x2, Schaller, Michell, Nunn (possibly) lots of young talent, all had a taste of VCA cricket.....

legacy indeed. legacy of endless stream of kids leaving the game cos they don't get a go while skipper (and so called leader) grant bats for his average (zzzzzzzzz.....), does a sensational Captain Araldite impersonation and keeps as well (like he wasn't hogging the game enough). even worse is he doesn't even bother to try to win the game, it's just all about him. great example to the kids

i second that, i generally dont like to bag people too much but those older blokes in the city teams need to give it away.

Yeah i remember watching the QF at st albans, after winning the u/17 grand final that day (captaining) i think he took 4 fa 30 and made 85 if i remember correctly. and then backed it up with 20 overs in 37 degree heat and took matchwinning 7 fa 70 or something. must be good, Murray said he was unplayable, has the wood over Rob Cutajar.....apprantly, still wants to be invovled with Heads. Imagine the pulling power he could get when he comes back to heads!! they will be unstoppable!

yeah he sure was, he took 7/70 and he started badly might of had 0/20 i think off he's first few, just shows he can bounce back alot of kids drop there head when they start bad.

i will say that wicket down there that day was full of dust and dirt and turned square. i think most batsman will be happy to see him gone, it will make barwon heads bowling a bit light on this year though could be a close season.

i hear a few of the usual top clubs will really struggle.
port and ocean grove struggling from reports

Without doubt Brad Hauenstein. However, as far as a big game player goes, it begins and ends with Gary Kelson. Won two premierships for Grovedale himself.

Yeah, they might struggle without him this year.
Yeah port and grove especially, as they are a old ageing team, not much going for them...think it will be the usuals this year....Heads, St Albans, Collendina, QCliff.....watch out for Wallington.....might surprise a few.....wonder which Drysdale will turn up this year? loss of Mallet will hurt alot....St Albans bowling attack is very strong!

yeah port have lost vassilou to west apparently, ocean grove have had gills, long and hardiman retire as well as braniff apprently left also.

who have wallington picked up? biemens? anyone else?

bowling is a real strong point of ours just need a few batsman to stand up, have been below par with the exception of bennett and murray, o'leary will help in that area though class bat.

who knows with drysdale they never really seem intrested, thats just the way they come across sometimes. do you know who's coaching them?

BPCA
underrated: Rock (collendina)
overrated: chris welsford ( barwon heads)
best bat : mitch herbission (barwon heads)
best bowler: sam schaller (barwon heads)
best allrounder: gota say jason murray (st albans) not being bias he just is!
Click to expand...

I wouldnt say Welsford is ovverated, first year on hard wicket for a while last year and gave his all in each contest, couldnt ask for more really. And no, you are not being biased, Jason is probably the best all rounder going round in the Bellarine at the moment.

Yeah, i dunno about drysdale not Sharpe still ? Yeah ST.AB batsmen last year went missing when it mattered most....Murray will be a standout this year, short odds for the leauge medal i reckon, him and biddiscombe, after quitting football, rumor is his been working overtime on his cricket! scary though, great competitor. Theres going to be some massive contests this year...If collendina keep all there players they will be tough to beat, especially on that wicket!
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

I read a few pages back someone thought Wallington might surprise in the BPCA. Who else have they picked up besides Biemans that will make a massive difference to the side that struggled last year?

Also, how are people rating Newcomb, new coach but have lost a few of their experienced players including the before mentioned Biemans. How will this affect them? I think it might benefit some of the young stars at the club like Greenwood who plays B's for most of last year

Intersting to see how this kid goes on the turf. I have seen many a player that can get the ball to turn miles on the hard wickets, and not move an inch on the grass. Cam Ross was one from a few years ago that was the perfect example. Maybe watch this space to see how his Geelong trial goes.

yeah that seems suprising they would need to pick up a good 1/2 dozen players i would of thought, struggled on the bottom for many years now.

i would think newcomb would struggle also with the loss of biemens, cammorotto, williams, evans and more i heard something like 10 or so of there top 15 players from last year.

the new coach ebourn might bring a few from corio bay don't know much about them though.

so what do we all think of the chances of getting a full GCA season in this year??? the water reserves are lower than they were 2yrs ago before the shortened season. so it could be just as bad as that summer. but we have better infrastructure in place now...will it make all the difference or are we still going to lose some of our cricket?
Click to expand...

I reckon there are a number of grounds which have the infrastructure in place to go through a full season, so doubt there would be any shortened season. Let's hope we get a bit of rain happening from now until the start of the season, and also with the household restrictions in place now there should be enough water to keep as many of the grounds in Geelong going now.
