Re: North A & B
Had a chat with few of the Avondale lads over the weekend, they believe their club was recently offered a promotion along with Keilor park from Nth A by the VTCA. But Avondale rejected the offer, if true that would be the 2nd Nth A club in successive years turining down the promotion, albeit Albion did it when they were premiers after the 2007/08 season and Avondale(if true) have done it after being runners up this last season 2008/09. Does tell you about the true strenght of these 2 clubs, i would think really disappointing for talented players especially Juniors if they are @ clubs not capable of taking on greater challenges both on and off the field.
I would guess Tulla or Gr$$nval$ would be next given the chance for promotion..definately sure Gr$$nval$ would accept the offer not sure if Tulla would?
But again weak effort from both Albion and Avondale might as well join the bottom tier of VTCA Noth B and give clubs with ambition a crack!

Re: North A & B
Avondale's money has dried up.
You cannot blame clubs for not wanting to go up and get flogged every week, its the people on committees at clubs that would no what is best for the club.
Good on Avondale and Albion for having the guts to understand that they wont be competive in a higher grade.

Re: North A & B
bit hard on st albans there fred. agree the area is pretty rough and the pitch isn't the best (or worst mind you!!) but the facilities there are first class. for the sake of comparison, where are you from????

Re: North A & B
My understanding is that Avondale have lost a lot of players due to a lack of money, so fair enough not going up. As far as I know Albion didn't go up due to players refusing to travel. That was the only reason I was told. With Bernards winning the flag this season, there would have been no reason had Albion kept its premiership side in tact that they wouldn't have been competitive. To me they were one of the best sides going around. Hard and tough to beat.
Avondale will struggle regardless of where they are seeded next year I would assume unless players are replaced. It shall be interesting.
Any news on any players moving around, coaches or the like??

Re: North A & B
First Ive heard in relation to the ex-pres. Personally I'd be more than happy to let bygones be bygones, but a few bridges were burnt around the time of his exit that would need some serious discussion to rebuild. If this process had started I would know about it so I dare say no truth in this one Fred...... More likely he has just lessened his involvement at Avo as he runs a small business and its a tough economy at the moment...
As for "Wallop" questioning our recruiting of TJ, he and Waz are very different people who just happened to be recruited from same club. I wouldnt think it is too relevant to how he/we will go moving forward.
As I said I am excited by the capture of Tarique and confident it will be a very good move by the club. Did I think this last year - yes. Was I wrong - yes. Is this relevant - No.

Re: North A & B
Mate i think Mulva meant, how East Keilor went up and came back down a much weaker club.
It was a great triumph in the Nth A Granny by your boys few year ago and then after that in a higher grade for reasons u know better than anyone had to return to NTh A a shadow of it's former slef.
I agree with your response to my post:"You cannot blame clubs for not wanting to go up and get flogged every week, its the people on committees at clubs that would no what is best for the club.
"
But a strong/ambitious club should be itching to tackle a higher grade and the challenge that presents coming up against other strong clubs, so my point was that the true strenght of these two clubs were exposed when they refused to accept the challenge. Analogy big fish an a small pond comes to mind.
Albion showed great heart to avoid relegation last year-have they recruited ro looking to recruit anyone new yet? and if avondale don't replace their paid players with some quality they will have rough trot in 09/10-wallop u r right there.
Any word on who wants to go up, new look St Albans + Gr$$ if they wanna go up will be very competitve!

Less experiance. We had a few players that retired after our GF win.
Then a few didn't like the travel and wanted to play closer to home ( Hackers and Jas Mc two very good players)
I do like the new set up with the top grade a mixture of south and north. and the rest playing local.
Last two years we have been playing alot of kids from our juniors.
Talking to a few players for this year hopeful of getting some. If we do i really do think it wont take 2 much for us to be pushing for finals cricket this year

Re: North A & B
Anyone see that the man Zorro won another best in comp.
2 in a row and 3 in a row if you include B grade.
his is now over in the UK bowling his boring crap to the poms.'
still taking wickets and making runs, those pitches suit him better than here.
alot slower he says.
Also just wanted to mention that Tullamarine cricket club came 4th in the spirit of cricket awards this year, only MHSOB, sunshine unt, and moorabbin finished higher.
Looks like a change is in the wind,

Re: North A & B
IF ANY ONE GIVES A TOSS,
Atona Roosters are still looking for a coach.
We have experienced interal people capable however we would like to attract a good quality person with good leadership skills to the position and must have coached previously in the vtca.
No Journey men please.
No player Agents.
A young (28 - 35) focused individual who would like to take on a challenge and expand on his C.V.
If you could get a church team into the b finals it would be a big coupe i believe.
OUR LIST IS 95% MID TWENTIES A LOT TO WORK WITH PROPER COACHING WOULD BE THE IDEAL.

But Avondale rejected the offer, if true that would be the 2nd Nth A club in successive years turining down the promotion, albeit Albion did it when they were premiers after the 2007/08 season and Avondale(if true) have done it after being runners up this last season 2008/09. Does tell you about the true strenght of these 2 clubs, i would think really disappointing for talented players especially Juniors if they are @ clubs not capable of taking on greater challenges both on and off the field.
I would guess Tulla or Gr$$nval$ would be next given the chance for promotion..definately sure Gr$$nval$ would accept the offer not sure if Tulla would?
But again weak effort from both Albion and Avondale might as well join the bottom tier of VTCA Noth B and give clubs with ambition a crack!
