How to fix DVCA 2024/2025 onwards.

How to fix DVCA onwards - make sure B-Grade teams beat Epping next year to save us from enduring their embarrassing carry on that inevitably follows when they win in 4th Grade.
A grand final is a grand final win. Came from 4th to win. Seems like a good reason to celebrate.

they destroyed creek last year, and then creek shit the bed this year. They blew passed riverside who finished top this year comfy enough and then dug themselves out of a hole to again win comfortably enough. Love them or not, they’re a different breed atm

I don’t think anyone is saying otherwise. You appear to be arguing with yourself.

Still didn’t BCC this year.😂😂

Different breed. 😂😂😂
 
Camrea have applied to join DVCA and are in the NMCA final.. if approved to join are they into Mash Shield and potentially the B grade Premiers Epping can join them in Mash Shield?

This myth has been dispelled already - No application made by Camrea. Rivergum, Dennis & Old Ivanhoe the NMCA teams which have allegedly applied.
 
Given Melbourne weather resulting in no training I thought I’d have a stab at fixing the comp.

Clearly this is based off 23/24 results and as we know things change rapidly.

Step 1: Reintroduce Shield and Shield Reserve.

Fixturing would become a breeze. Alternate home and away games.
80 and 40 over games.

Step 2: Realign all clubs 3 teams into two grades.

Grade 3a
Riverside
North Eltham
Montmorency
Diamond Creek
Banyule
Lower Plenty
Bundoora
Heidelberg
Macleod
Plenty

Clearly based on current results, Riverside would be strong.

This would see LP, H, Mac and Plenty have considerable grade bumps, but based on 2023/24 performance this should not be an issue for any of these teams.


Grade 3b
Rosanna
Epping
Laurimar
REEC
Eltham
South Morang
Mill Park
Bundoora Park
Greensbourough

Grade 3a being 80 overs
Grade 3b either 70 or 80 overs. My preference would be 70 overs.

All using 4 piece balls.

Promotion allowable between 3a and 3b

Step 4: Realign clubs 4 teams to play each other.

4th Grade

Banyule
Riverside
RECC
Greensborough
LP
Lalor Stars
North Eltham
Plenty

70 over 35 over with 2 piece ball.

Promotion to 3b only allowable if no two teams from one club.

Step 4:

One day comp
Major disrupter for only Riverside and Banyule who currently have 5+ teams playing 2 day cricket.

35 over games.
Fines paid for forfeiting games paid to the opposition club not the comp.
Step 1: Reintroduce Shield and Shield Reserve.

What's the benefits of this?? Reasoning; give 5 positives.
