Thought it was a sign of a fair bit of depth seeing as though they chased down 270 and their best 3 bats got 35 between them. Only reason they were chasing that many is because of Murphy who is a very, very good player.

I'm not convinced about Werribee. They're lucky they pinched that win against Balwyn, otherwise top 4 would be looking uncertain.
Yarraville definitely seem a contender. The top six on the ladder look pretty strong. If Brunswick's bowlers can rip through the middle / lower order of Plenty Valley tomorrow, they might still be in with a chance.
Sorry I lost you .It was complex! Pradeep would not be cheap as one of best performed subbies playes of last decade and a professional cricketer. Must have some coin. Lee is very passionate about cricket as seen by his junior coaching commitments. Would certainly get a game at most subbies clubs. Cannot see Moorabbin doing much in the next few years.Agree and agree.
The Bright Boy lost me after Brighton have had a bad year...
With Lee Weiss, yes, probably out of his depth, probably not up to it (today), but I really liked the appointment. He can't be any more than 22, whatever he does and learns this season he will be better for next season, and so on and so forth. I am guessing Moorabbin don't have the coin (or the appeal) to obtain a Sheedy, Warren, Mick Allen, or Flynn. So accepting that 14/15 was never going to be a premiership tilt, put the faith in Weiss and get games into Kennedy and Cull etc, start building a base for something of substance in 2 to 3 years time when these guys start to hit their peak. From a distance, he seems to be passionate about his cricket, shows some leadership potential, and I hope there are some mentors down at Moorleigh that can guide him through. Doing the same old over again and expecting a different result was never going to work so credit to a weak club for having the balls to try something different. I hope they stick by him otherwise this season is just another waste.

Nah, not that complex, just a polite way of saying your view of the top 6 was pretty out there. For what it's worth I don't see the top 2 changing, Malvern will make it but will need to beat Caulfield in an upset to finish top 4, Box Hill out, Endeavour in.
Going to be hard for Noble to be a smokey when they prob wont make the 6. They will need a miracle to get there. Oakleigh and Caulfield certainly not unbeatable and as seen the pressure of being favourite can be a real burden at this level.Top 2 will certainly not change, Oakleigh and Caulfield miles ahead of the rest. Other 4 teams just making up the numbers I would have thought. I like noble as a smokey, but the distance in the comps elite and good teams was pretty well confirmed by the bayswater and caulfield game.
Glad to here it. The facilities are now up with anyones in Subbies. I'm biased, but there isn't a better clubhouse in the comp. Wicket is not quite there, but still OK, Sunday's wasn't as bad as the scores would suggest.Great weekend playing at Kingston. Great club and excellent facility.
Peta Credlin on the hustings????The spin doctors are saying the CV super league proposal "seems likely" to go ahead in 16/17. CV are putting up $500K worth of good reasons. Bone of contention apparently is VSDCA and VTCA (who would have thought) being broken up. Subbies want 4 regions not 5, based on existing zones (which would mean some subbies clubs would start in Div 2). Subbies will speak publicly after sharing the info with clubs...

Best thing for turf cricket as its going backwards, both major competitions are tired. The one thing they are not looking at is Premier, which should be cut back.
Agree, Premier needs to be cut back to 2 XI's.Agree with premier cricket being cut back, it is way too big and especially in the lower 11's where those kids are just fill ins and most who go to play premier cricket end up not playing in the next few years because of how much they hate it.
We have had 4 or 5 over the last three years go to premier cricket, get stuck in the 4's and then quit, really concerning.
Also Super Saint just read that article as well, Sunshine being Sunshine.
Will be some interesting 'please explains' here:

I do not presently have an involvement with Sunshine and cannot throw any light on what happened. What I can say, based on my personal experience over a number of years at 2 subbies clubs out here in the west is that neither were particularly enthused about hosting Country Week, the principal gripe being that nowadays the players seldom stay after the match for any length of time. Instead, they soon pile into a mini bus and head for an evening in town. So, very little is made over the bar to compensate for the inconvenience of club personnell having to take time off work to host the match. The amount paid to the host club by the cricket authorities is paltry, and now that the dividend is being phased out the subbies are probably not on strong grounds to insist clubs host Country Week when they would prefer not to. Also, both clubs I refer to rely on part-time curators and I have yet to see any offer to pay them for the additional work they must do. They are well aware that cricket authorities would never dream of asking umpires to officiate at these matches for free. It is adverse discriminatory treatment.
Not sure I'm in total agreement here.I do not presently have an involvement with Sunshine and cannot throw any light on what happened.

The reason subbies kept their dividend was votes from the country. We had two games and both days both teams stayed for a few drinks, we probably took over $300, which, whilst isn't a huge amount, is at least some compensation. Whilst it can be hard to get people to assist, a little work gets it done.
Really, if you can't prepare a pitch for 1 day of cricket, says alot about your club.
My info was that the Sunshine curator was preparing the wicket for next week, as originally fixtured and did not realise it had been pulled forward a week. If that is the case and the administration of the club cannot pass on elementary information, the club is in a serious amount of trouble.
