B1 was a lot tougher than this grade. My advice ... get off bigcricket and instead put some time into your training otherwise you'll get smashed by Abers Park coming up nxt yr. You all ain't as good as you think you are!!!
Good luck in A1 nxt year. Will send a postcard from North Div

Your right roy.. A bit of humility goes along way. Probably one of the young fellas with a well earned bellyfull.. we went and are still going hard. However you dont strike me as a silly chap so im sure you know as well as i do that flags in ANY grade are not won by sides with only 2 players. WC only had 2 players and they lost comprehensivly..St Albans recruited a swag of quality players and didnt make the grandfinal.EK had Bell and import and didnt make the 4. TL had jones and markham with same result. You dont win grand finals on a season reliant on 2 blokes. In fact we had 4 different blokes ton up this season and a number 8 thats scored 50 or more 4 times i think including first innings of grand final. Also Harding took more than 30 wickets (missed 2 or 3 games).. As for next season like all clubs we will look at what we need and recruit accordingly. With our 2nds winning flag and our 3rds (containing 8 players under 17) and 4ths making grand finals and our under 16s winning a flag hopefully we hole our own in north next season. Anyway back to the bar for me..ROY G BIV;394586 said:Mate you ain't showing much humility either, especailly when you ask others to show some.
I take my best wishes/Good luck to MV in NTH Division back
you say:- You all ain't as good as you think you are!!!
Ofcourse not, i agree its embarrasing playing in a grade where Mvalley wins a flag, a side which with the exception of 1 player A Perrera can't bat, and when it comes to bowling - with the exception of pridham and to lesser extent Raj can't bowl
I admit NTH A is rubbish (a side like MV winning proves that) no one to my knowledge on this thread said it was good? (or as good as it used to be)
When it was good the likes of MValley didnt' last long, remember those seasons? MV just like Abelfeldie struggled to win a game.
In season 2010/11 you'll findout what NTH A used to be like, almost all the clubs competing in NTH Division now once made up a strong NTH A comp,i wouldn't be surprised to see the likes of you back in A in 2011/12 especailly if NTH Division remains a 10 team comp.

I believe the entire A.P. team died their hair get black during the season to throw people of the scent. LOL
Nice to see a bit of humour injected into the site from time to time.
I think thats the way our recruiting policy should go looking forward.
We're currently looking for a new coach perhaps we should feel out Ronald MacDonald. I can only see the positives in it.
punter 18;395872 said:Our version of quality must vary a little big coq.
Have you had any luck with the new captain/coach? Phil Crea is available i believe. Since you have declared your love for him on here before he may be the perfect fit for you guys, not sure you need anymore seconds players though.
Well done on a good first season in the VTCA.

im sure yull find phil will remain at W/C.
The bloke since arriving has taken them from B1 to A1 now Northern thats pretty special in any mans language and they cant bat must be a great fighting team lead by a great strength of character and unflinching leadership.
we've had a few bites on the coaching front no rush.
We should have made the 4.
Our No1 opening bowler has had his left shoulder rebuilt this season. He will play next season also our openning bat slipped a disc before xmas.
Well be all right need a coach that fits the bill.
Always looking to top up with quality.

Interesting;394911 said:Deliberately haven't posted this year due to some of the debacles of idiot posters of last season from our club. But one of the success stories of B North has been Abers. I have been there for too many years to count but after being a basket case since the last flag we have hopefully got our act together. Starting from Jim Ingleton as coach, a more respected and liked coach I have yet to see. Controlled a few egos, who had rarely produced and were big mouths on and off the field, masterfully. Nyhus made the transition to player without any dramas. I think he now wants to be remembered as a player who doesn't go from club to club every 2nd season (then again I might be wrong!) and we got great, consistent contributions from various other players. The Prez, Dean Mighell, has been a huge stabilising influence and finally after about 7 seasons we realised that our "best recruit" was spending time and money on producing a consistently good deck. For a change our batsmen enjoyed playing at home!
The other positives for the year were obviously flags in the 2s and 3s led by 2of the best captains at lower levels I have ever seen. The 2s in fact could have been competitive with the lower teams at the top level.
The 1s were very good in most games (even beat Aber Park - although they smashed us in the 2nd game) and except for the storms may have made the GF. That being said Jacana deserved their chance against Aber Park.
Like most teams we need a quality raw pace quick and another batsman to help out our top 2 or 3.
Finally congratulations to the great blokes in the 1s and 2s of the opposition teams. Except for Kingsville 1s, a pleasure to play against everyone. Beers shared - fantastic. Made a huge change to us being constantly disliked.
2time;396050 said:Anyone have a clue as to why?
He who knows best;394992 said:mmm, I think Abers did a good job by the looks of it going very close in the 1's and I didnt know their 2's & 3's won their respective flags which is a very good sign to the future.
reckon you have missed Shannahan in your overview as well, his bowling seems to be one of the foundations of their attack from blokes I've spoken to from other teams. Having Ingleton and Shannahan leading the team onfield would be a mammoth factor in turning the place around, they are both very experienced leaders so whoever got them both there certainly did a great job.
well pointed out that they can lay claim to being the only team to beat Aber Park, albeit in a 1 day game
Nyhus is overated in my opinion, when was the last time he made a 100 ? if he's controlled his temprement then great but I think many people were wondering what he'd done to think he deserved to impose himself on the opposition like he was years back anyway
you would think they'll start fav's in Nth B next year if they keep their team together.
Good the hear the deck's been turned around too, about time

Interesting;395127 said:Take your point about Nyhus but he has started to control a few things....small steps.........and also we haven't had a ton since the glory days of West and Grey in the last 1s flag. Sort of agree with the Shanas comment but Jim Ingleton is the bloke that has turned it around.
As far as favourites for next year I don't think so atm as we still need a real quality quick. Pascu would be great but I don't think so.....

He who knows best;395168 said:apart from Nyhus what other ego's are at that club ?
I don't think anyone in the VTCA would know of anyone there apart from the one's mentioned in Ingleton, Shannahand and Nyhus
if there have been other ego's at that place recently causing trouble then no wonder the place has been in the doldrums for so loing
2time;396099 said:How does he talk the talk & walk the walk? On the back of two fairly decent bowlers Phil contributed very little on the scoreboard in the scheme of things. Obviously we don't see him at training or behind closed doors to fully assess his efforts & what he brings to the table. It is a fair effort in regards to what Centrals have achieved but if your telling me that Phil is the sole reason for the turn around he should be in Politics or running the Reserve bank.I sense that Altona are thinking of appointing Phil as coach - GOOD LUCK with it boys. We played them this year & the way he carried on personally & allowed his players to do the same was a blight on the club. As i've said previously not a chance my kids would be playing in that environment. I like hard cricket & blokes that are worth their salt but his style aint my cup of tea. Mouthing off & threratening blokes if that wins you games & your happy to win that way be careful you might get what you ask for.

RangaRooster;395555 said:Ok so i would just like to say congratulations to aberfeldie park. Unfortunately i never got to play against them. Out of interest, can anybody tell me how many rangas they had? Because i am willing to bet a lot of money its at least 6. Red heads are great for team spirit, and when things get heated they are normally in the thick of it. Maybe cause there heads are on fire. I propose for there new season in north a1, they change there name to rangafeldie park??
