Re: mmvca

Best umpires = Houston & Taylor

A Turf: St.Marys have to be favourites. A lot depends on whether Harris and Zimmer can put on a decent opening stand and allow the other bats some freedom. Brown is all class, Hunter has his days and old Ketty can knock a few around so if there are a few runs on the board early then they should be able to knock up a good score against Easts' attack. And St.Marys' pace attack mixed with the spin twins on the bigish ground should suit them nicely.

Socials v St.Andrews is a ripper. And for those who think Danny Campbell's absence won’t make a difference you are kidding yourselves. He is a consistent performer with bat and ball and can take the game away from the opposition in a flash. If Fitzy can pull his head in and take a couple of key wickets early then the Socials are a chance. Otherwise St.Andrews will use all of their wickets in hand and have a real bash after tea, which essentially has been their game plan that they've really nailed over the last couple of seasons. However we all know that taking injured players into finals is a massive risk, especially with back to back days. So whether the likes of Taylor, Scott Wernham and G Tapner are up to it we'll have to wait and see. Smoke will have to do a fair bit of bowling and pick up 4 or 5. Good luck young fella. Jolley rarely misses out on a score in finals and will have the edge in tactics over Verno and the boys. I'd like Socials to win but reckon St.Andrews will get their chance to go back-to-back with another close victory.

Well done to St.Francis on their comprehensive win in the club championship. A strong club with plenty of good, young talent coming through. Commiserations to Pascoe Vale who finished 3rd last, managing to finish higher than the mighty Ascot Vale and Coolaroo. Will they ever play A Turf finals?!?!

Predictions
B Turf - St.Francis - clearly finished on top and the word is Steward is back from injury, look out.
C Turf - St.Francis - geez this is killing me but I've heard they've got a handy attack and plenty of experience with the bat.
A Mats - Strathmore Heights - young guns Watts and May will dominate
B Mats - St.Francis (again!) - club legends playing lower grades
C Mats - West Coburg - Nunan to lead the way
One Day 1 - St.Andrews - who's gunna stop them? Denis Ryan will sparkle
One Day 2 - St.Albans - class above and will get the job done

Re: mmvca

Bomber you seem to be very clued of on the issue of the Merge? What exactly has to take place in order for it to happen? Who has the final say? The members of the Association ie. the clubs?

Yeah im with you Bomber, Morris has a good track, but no fence and crap facilities. I reckon Hosken, or Brearly or sunshines ground would be better.

where are the grand finals????

Had a look at Morris last night,wicket is good,but the outfield is like a cow paddock,up and down all over the place.

Yes I would like to no that also Im not sure if all clubs are in favour of it especially th sides that are going to be dropped from top grade to make way for top 4 mmvca sides. How does it work who decides?

From what I see MMVCA Clubs are not against the idea of a merge they just don't like the way it is run. A delegates meeting at the MMVCA go for a hour and a half at the most. Meetings at NWCA go for hours.

here you go again Gladyboy trying to weasle info out of the mmvca on our top players. following on from your other opinions on here about our standard, you shouldnt be worried who our better players are in the matting grades.

lets just see how it all pans out when the merger happens, you might be surprised. although we know one thing, most nwca top clubs play slap and bash cricket..........you wont find a lot of that in the mmvca

Re: mmvca

The club I play for has teams in both the MMVCA & NWCA. It is my experience that NWCA is run with the attitude "you will do as I say or else" it is ran like a dictatorship, with Mr T Scott at the helm directing his minows. Now I'm not saying that the MMVCA is the best (no one is ever happy with their comp), but at least their not power driven (that much), and will listen occasionally to what the club and or individual has to say. This unfortunately does not apply for the NWCA, which could explain why a few clubs have left the comp. I think I have said it before that I am not a fan of the merge. Maybe it's personal, I just don't like them or the way they run the NWCA.

Re: mmvca

Seems to be alot of questions on merger the message we are geting in the nwca which doesnt seem to be accurate reading what is coming from you guys is that it is definetly happening next year. I have been told that grades will not merge until the year after.

Not sure how true any of this is but we are getting told its happening in North West.

Not much has changed when the two competitions were having having discussions about 10 years ago. The main sticking points were exactly the same ones being aired again. I am not involved now so I am very interested to see how it pans out if it ever does get off the ground. I do remember those NWCA meetings Hirdy, used to get an elbow to wake me up.
