Big round in the N/W. The entire top 6 could move and change around. Ivanhoe and yourselves not out of it at all.Big weekend of cricket also about to arrive lads.
Melton v Plenty Valley and Werribee vs RPB the standouts in the North/West. Local rivalry for us against Yarraville who have had to wood over us of late but big loss for them with Finch headed home.
And that's probably the primary issue I (and others I've spoken to) have with the VTCA opposition to this. It isn't based on what will be best for the clubs or turf cricket or cricket generally. It's based on what is best for the VTCA as an organisation (and administrators in some cases). That makes their analysis flawed. They are still answerable to their clubs. Do your analysis, see where the cards fall and make your decision. If that means you no longer have a competition to administer, then so be it.
Something needs to be done about Sunshine.
It's so frustrating, Altona could jump the entire 6. It's not their fault, every club would be doing the same. But basically if you don't beat them outright after Xmas it's like you've lost.
Looks as though your game was interesting on the w/e?
I think this sort of detail would depend on the associatio'ns constitution, and is the domain of the lawyers winding up the association and beyond the scope of the report.I am working thru the report bit-by-bit and the only comment on the disbursement of the assets I have found is a brief comment on p62. No specific mention made of how an association's cash reserves will be distributed. In the event a comp decides to disband I think it will wish to spend all cash reserves before folding. Can't imagine a disbanding comp wishing to hand cash over to CV. Suggest now is an approriate time to ascertain your associations rules on the disbursement of assets on wind-up, and whether you club may be entitled to an equitable share.

I was involved in the winding up of the Sunshine C. A. 20 odd years ago and, fortunately, the association's constitution was silent on the disbusement of assets allowing the clubs to agree the cash reserves be donated to the Western Region Junior Cricket Association (which had to be formed to allow the continuation of a local junior comp). I intentionally responded to rat'n'bat for I think he is on to something in saying the VTCA's stance does not necessarily correspond with the views of many of its member clubs, particularly in the south. I am advised an article in last Saturday's Age suggests the great majority of the subbies clubs are in favour of remaining in the VSDCA. I should imagine those subbies clubs who next month declare to the Executive they favour the CV model will be expected to find alternative turf competitions. Can anyone enlighten me?

The former SCA clubs now in the VTCA field their 2 turf XI's in that comp, and in an alternative comp for their synthetics (never, of course, having enjoyed the benefit of a dividend). Perhaps subbies clubs in favour of the CV model have concluded in order to remain financially viable sans the dividend, they cannot afford to field 4 turf XI's on 2 grounds. It may be they have reluctantly concluded they have to depart the VSDCA.I would have thought that would be the beginning of the end for the subbies, if clubs start jumping ship

Just as a matter of interest, does the CV proposal have an indicative Division 1 line up, Division 2 lineup? If so, where does Sunshine, Moorabbin, Croydon, and Preston sit within their respective CV zones? Are they all Div 2 or are some Div 3?
I actually think the opposite. Worse case scenario, lose a couple of weaker clubs, 12 team comps instead of 14. Best case scenario, vacancies caused by clubs leaving will be filled by new clubs who choose the VSDCA model over the CV model.
