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

Thats because there all good players and every club wants them, its usually the clubs that miss out on these players that start rumors and bag them.

im sure even east belmont and grovedale wouldn't knock back a murray or a smiljanic or a fergusson.

Oh, ok, I undertsnad now; because these blokes are good players, they get phone calls every season to change clubs and so that's what they do. Come on BourneyWarney. Don't see Brad Hauenstein, Danny Hughes, Brad Stacey, etc going through clubs like jocks. Maybe money means more to some people than club loyalty and sticking with your mates. Maybe some people play cricket merely for a means of income rather than actually really enjoying it.

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

is that a bad example. Some players play at a club for nothing and are loyal people then get offered money else where, does that make them whores. In your example your getting paid already and its a personally decision to move just for the money. I would have thought enjoyment, friendships and opportunity to develope as a worker/cricketer would be things people should consider where they work/play

yes very fair point
just something to think about thats all.
if clubs are willing to pay $ and players dont have an issue with there loyalty/respect then it's up to them.
some people do get a bit wound up about it all i find in here, players just take money offered from clubs, and the clubs involved know the players history before they sign them.

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

thats crap if im working a job and got offered 15k more to move, im there thats why you work to earn money not to make friends!

maybe the blokes that change clubs all the time, for so called more money are doing it because they need the money to help support there families and make life that little bit easier.

Yeah, thats ok to move just for the money, what if there's a bunch of dickheads that work there that make your job miserable and hard to get up in the morning to go to work.
If players move clubs to earn money to support family etc.. that fine, nothing wrong with that

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.

He's cousin is Moorey, who's moved to Sth Barwon, so I doubt he would go to Joey's now.

I wouldn't have thought so.

I have basically been retired for a couple of years and cast an eye over the whole of the GCA with particular attention to Div 2.

well obviously the player will suss out who's there before moving

it's a valid point about supporting families

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

what a difference a few years make, put that draw out a few years ago and you would be saying South Barwon have got one of the toughest draws. The draw would have been totally random, drawn out of a hat. Normally it's done in front of the clubs but due to the extra time taken in regards to Manifold issue it must have been done at a GCA management meeting. clubs knew it was going to be uneven because they did not want to play 11 two days games for the year. AFL is uneven, GFL is too (I think) so as long as we have cricket for the full 6 months everything will sort itself out.

Good point, thats why they kept it a final 6 to help clubs that may have a rough draw play finals, and we all know what can happen in finals.

 

[The SwingKing]

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

no word on t20 in the gca draws?

Let's just see if the GCA can get one competition right, without another comp to look after. Once again another uneven draw where luck may play apart in who plays finals. Mr Dempsey used to do the draw, looks like he's done Div 1 by himself

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

Brett left Thomson on his own accord and wasn't thrown out of the club.

Still plays footy at Thomson and as far as we as a cricket club are concerned on a whole he is welcome for a beer whenever he feels that and he knows that.

as for Smiljanic... Freddie1 stop speaking rubbish mate, he's a Thomson player. you to bringbackwarney, you've got a problem with the TCC we all know it, grow up mate.
we've been through this, go back 100 pages and read on.
just post things on stuff you know about.

can you confirm the Nolan to Geelong rumour?seeing your St Joeys CC freddie1 surely you should know this one!

cheers rissole.
the blokes a joke, said it from the start. in relation to the superdraw last year, wonder if bringbackwarney knows if my missus won it, and i won 2 door prizes and bottle of vodka????

wat a loser.
we all know to avoid anything and all stay mates AND progress was for me to move on. no booting!

any side can come up and beat you on there day, especially at the 1st XI level where every side has players that can play. In saying that from past history you would have an easier draw by playing Newcomb twice than say an East Belmont but you never know what happens until you turn up to play. I do remember one day seeing one J Addy making a century there for Newcomb in a game, which I am assuming that they won.
