With a new chairman coming on board, someone will put their hand up at the EGM, things may change in the way of a merger. It has only been talks at this stage nothing has been voted on ie. by-laws
NWCA need senior clubs from the MMVCA more the we need NWCA They are only strong because of their junior competition.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Surely the fact we now have a Chairman has to be a good thing! I think we all need to get behind him and support the Association as much we can. As no doubt this is a tireless and largely unthanked job and with out fellas like him and Brett Pallini there would not be comps like ours.

Hot headed (probably the best way to describe him) but very organised and doubt he will take criticisms as well as Brett did. But time will tell.
Any other news around?
I heard Sammy won't be playing at Heights next year. Pretty big news since most of the team were his mates

sounds like you've had something to do with him and he might be a bit sensitive to criticism. I reckon Brett copped his fair whack of abuse over the years and still stayed on....... i wonder if this guy will too. As you say time will tell.

yeah i heard Sammy isnt in favour down at Sunny Heights and is moving on. i wonder if his mates will stay on.

still no big announcement from St Andrews.......??

G'day RooBoy, Ive had no dealings with David in the past and don't know much about him execpt that he is involved with Glenroy.
I think the other big plus last night was that the Association added four new members on to the Executive Committee. This makes it the biggest board for a number of years and can only be beneficial to the Association.
Looks like we can put all that behind us know and get ready for the real stuff.

Re: mmvca

Yeah I think a bigger executive committee simply enables a bit more sharing of responsibilities and tasks around, thus making it "easier" to fit the time in to do what you have to do.
Well I'll be at the next delegates meeting (whenever that is), so I go in with an open-mind!!

Back to the real stuff, Barkly St have re-appointed their coach of the last several seasons Daryl Williams.

From what I can recall, (my memory is not that great) David was the secretary and backbone of the now defunct Glenroy Amateurs for a number of years when they were in the VTCA. At the same time, and for a considerable number of years was heavily involved on the committee of the NWCA, mainly with the juniors. I think even one year as Secretary of their Association, not sure if he has had recent involvement. He has been Secretary of Glenroy since 2002.

Strange, I've know the bloke for 20 years, worked with and played cricket against, can not remember him being hot headed at all. Quite bloke actually, when he takes something on though he takes it on completely, so I think it's a good appointment for the Comp.

But of course, he's going to need the right people around him and plenty off them to do the job correctly. Unfortunately towards the end of Bretts tenure he only had 2 I think, and that no where enough to run a comp like this.

So good Luck Dave, hope all clubs support you and your committee and all goes well for the MMVCA.

Re: mmvca

The make up of the new Executive - very interesting.

David Lyons - Quiet bloke from what I know.

John Appleyard - Another quiet bloke but is not scared to speak his mind when needed

Tyson Woods - Everyone on the Forum knows him well

Shane Harris - Wouldn't be a MMVCA forum without him

Stephen Fielding Don't really know him

and the old

Lumpy - the old work horse

Should be a very good season coming up.
