Here's an interesting question; How come Thomson CC wear Green & Gold but Thomson FC wear Purple & Gold?

All are different clubs in their own right, started at different times, different committees, coaches, players etc etc and also if Thomson FC were Green and Gold they would have clash problems with Centrals wouldn't they??

ideally it would probably good for some clubs to merge together as one- may not happen though as financially there would be problems ie. Cricket clubs don't turnover nearly as much as what a footy club would.

have to say Divvy two looks like being a top comp this year, very competitive with at least 6 sides looking pretty strong. Divvy one still looks a bit stale and boring with the same old clubs looking to be there abouts again. interesting to see how it pans out.

However South Barwon and Newtown have 0 affiliation between cricket and football teams. they just share a common name. They are located in different areas, run by different people and basically have no common thread.
Newtown becomes Ammos don't they?

any of these sides could win it from what we've heard

geelong west
south barwon
grovedale
leopold
east belmont
st joeys
lara

would hardly call that stale and boring!

I would tend to agree with u on that, however i see what gca is saying about its mostly the same sides at the top every year - Ie east, joeys, grovey.
But im with you in that it should be a pretty exciting, open season - esp west...who on paper look as strong as anyone.
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

Speaking of more clubs than Tiger Woods....Ben Smiljanic....How long will he play at Thomson for? Ive heard he's already considering going back to Torquay to play with Bourke!!!!

Im pretty sure you only came to st albans because you had a few mates there and you were lead to believe you could play in the bpca because they weren't in the "spirit of cricket" agreement and the interstate suspention didn't stand there, where the gca are in the "spirit of cricket" and the suspention stood.

Geelong West no affiliation with football club either. A lot more St Peters people and influence at GWSP FC.

Where is the love guys? If Ando did come back to beat a suspension so what? Proves he does think a bit about it. It appears some of you on here doubt he could!
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

I hear Ashley carter is playing at Joeys this year. He went to school there so he would have mates there. We start training this weekend. Morgo is keen! Will be interesting to see how many we get there.

if you have anything to do with the running of a club you'd understand that clubs have functions to make money and survive.

id say this has something to do with cricket.

i like alot of people go to other clubs draws maybe 6 or 7 a year and other people come to ours its how local cricket is and should be, im sure other clubs will be putting there major draws on here so people know, and then sell more tickets, and then make more money.

simple i would of thought!@|

the more money you make, the more players you pay???? haha

I wouldnt last 2 seconds at St Albans because id prob be done in a drive by or some crap.

I personally can't see anything wrong with this. 2 of these clubs are playing cricket at a higher level and two are abroad during off season. I would be counting Sth Barwon and Thomson (taking into account the reason for playing at St Albans). I would actually think the majority of players in the GCA would have played at more than one club; or should I re-phrase that to see the better GCA players. I myself have played at 2 GCA clubs across 15 years.
You talk about players playing at multiple clubs; don't mention Brett Anderton, mention Jason Murray, Andrew Fergusson, Ben Smiljanic & David Roach. We have been down this path before.
