Mirrors;199120 said:Good morning all,
B. Flood. Well what I can I say about this bloke.
I have heard that he arrived at Congs last year as part of a scheme that the club devised to play young blokes with thier dads. He did well last year in the lower grades and it was a commitee decision to play him up, which he excepted. After all, someone making 100 odd every game against the kids wasnt doing anyone any good.
He came up for his first game against St Johns and made 96 and since then has helped the congs start with a new opening pair.
He is also a very patient batsman, and thats what the congs needed after the last pair generally chased runs from ball one, they'd be plenty after 10 overs or be on the ropes depending how the opening pair went.
Sounds like the finals will be an interesting race, plenty of opinons and favorites out there.

Who will win the flag this year?
Who will win comp batting?
Who will win comp bowling?
Who will win comp B & F?
MirrorsMirrors;201065 said:What there.
Flag. Three horse race. Melton, St Johns are capable and Congs. All those teams have strengths and weaknessess.
Comp Batting. D Temby.
Comp Bowling. M Callas.
Comp B&F. Im not sure how they work it out to be honest. Im not sure if it is a point system (Runs, Wickets,Catches etc etc) or just whom the powers that be decide whom they believe to be the best and fairest based on the umpires.

you seem to be on the money with your predictions, although i think that although st johns are the third best team in it they will struggle to keep up with the other two. st johns have the players but struggle a bit on depth from what i've seen. don't get me wrong i rate st johns as a team but i think depth of a side is really important in finals. i see it as a two horse race with my money on melton. but i'm known as a bad punter. altona as my darky to make the grand final. i think they can do some damage on there day. any thoghts?
mirrorsMirrors;201106 said:Cant bat.
I dont discount anyone anymore. Once you make the finals anything can happen and it just needs one team to be off their game, or someone from the shadows to appear and play a gem of an innings and the result all of a sudden has changed.
St Johns depth is a little concerning, but they have some really good players and on their day could do it, hey they were there last year.
Melton are the team to beat, they got the better of congs last game, regardless of the state of the wicket, a win is a win and because of that they deserve to be favorite.
I do know that Congs have a few players out in the first few games, many having commitments for work or families so they to will be tested with depth.
The premiership is still anyones but there is 2 favorites and a smokey in St Johns. The forth spot is the interesting one, altona or St Andrews, not to sure who I would want to play. Both could create an upset.

Spot on re comments about st.andrews. We suffered a setback when a few of our topline players left and when we got booted from the hockey rooms but I firmly believe we are on the right track and hopefully by picking up a few players it may turn this once mighty club back to where we used to be.

I have played with Josh at subbies for Melton, and also coached against him in juniors. He obviously pretty much dominated in juniors, and was in subbies seconds in his first season. He left subbies to play at Centrals with his old man. He is a VERY good bowler, bowls a nice tight line and his pace is getting sharper and sharper as he grows. Get on the front foot to Joshy, that's my best advice.

thanks for the tip. so have do you know anything about any other players? what about critstofaro?
andy is playing in the churches this year. i've heard good things about him. sounds like a good pick up for them in any case.Quickton;201478 said:Would that be Andy or Anthony??
Either way buddy, GOOD LUCK, both gun players and on their day will smash teams.

1short;201578 said:if josh is that good whats he doing playing churches? you think he would try and play as high a level as he can. sounds like dad will stuff the kid up. instead of letting the kid strive to be the best he can be, looks like dad is worried about winning premierships and covering himself with glory. let it go dad you're past it, let the kids have some fun.
Quickton;201589 said:Alright, I'm pretty sure playing a season with his dad was Josh's idea, not his dad's. Josh is THAT good, he is only young and he will be playing District 2's at least in the next few years. I think he is also playing for Western Spirit this week.......so yeah he is good.
