Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association

In regards to the Chris Smith Carry on on Grand Final Day, there are a couple of incidents which need to be treated seperatly.

In regards to sitting on the pitch and protesting, I don't think that was a real problem. It was a harmless and peaceful protest that didn't really hurt anyone. Instead of ringing the police to come and remove him, perhaps a few fielding drills where the players throwing cricket balls at his head might have moved him quick.

The areas where Chris needs to be pulled into line is for the foul mouth abuse towards St Andrews players while they were fielding and the aggresive abuse towards Claude Dunn (80 year old President of the WSUCCA). Whether you agree or disagree about the decision on the semi final fiasco, to have a go at Claude in a threatening manner is pretty piss poor. I think Fine Legs is right by saying that with Families and children around, the foul and abusive language was not appropriate.

At the end of the day the Association have to make the decision whether they charge him or not. As for the Roosters committee, they to need to determine whether they disapline him or not. I am sure the Association will make a desicion in due time whether they report him or not. I know you guys at the Roosters really like to put out there that you are a family club with strong Junior Participation and that is fantastic, but was Chris's behaviour appropriate for a family club?

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association

peacefull protest??? the reports that i hear are of foul disgusting verbal abuse to people who could not defend themselves because they were engaged in a cricket game, please corect me if i'm wrong... dont know about you hack, but i'm sure people who went to the game wouldn't want their kids, wifes or mothers listerning to that kind of language. mind you any real man with any balls would have walked upto st andrews after the game and would have repeated all that crap to them face to face. but no, the big mouth shut up and could not be heard all day when st andrews were batting and after the game cause he knew they would have kicked the shit out of him! thats the storey i got told hack, so pls tell me if i've got it wrong??? and also pls justify how getting in the face of an old frail man aged in his 60's is peacefull??? no matter who he is. that is totally an act of a coward. yes hack, i was told about the stunt he pulled with claude dunn. please keep defending this fine examle of a true looser, ah sorry, rooster.

first of all chris is a very good bloke proud & passionate if i was to pick a bloke to go to war with he would be one of the first picked.
ur mail sounds second hand at best we were there yes but did we condone his behaviour no. we told him to pull up but he wouldnt listen so apart from physically restraining him & gagging him we were limited and yes some of his sledges were first class. Big danny from St Andrews come down and asked him to pipe down but this only worked for a short period. as for the Claude incident we were not aware of it until gooky told us the next day we cant follow him around every where he was over getting drinks. Anyhow why is this such a concern to you mate! r u trying to allude to somethingh other than we are a top club with great individuals who will back there mates up no matter what or are you saying were weak because we dont sell one of our members down the toilet
and for the record he was with the congs boys before we got there our pres's bro took him away to try to cool him down but that was never going to happen he was prepared to go to jail for his beliefs.
since you know who we are be a real man and feel free to introduce your self.

Good post mate. We know nothing about the Caudey spray as it is all second hand information at this point in time when the exec give us a case to answer we will deal with it on a fact by fact basis.
as we feel it was an outside of cricket matter we will deal with it in house.

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association

i'm sure the chris matter will be dealt with internally big coq, but i would like to know if the 3 senior administration members of the roosters commitee, who were standing by his side egging him on and laughing with him, will be dealt with in the same manner??? yes yourself, your president and his brother i believe were right there with him throughout the day and not trying to stop him. all 3 of you being leaders and administrarors of your club, not to mention about 60 years of service to your club, not putting your club 1st and pulling up this 1 person destroying the reputation of your club. if you all supported him, why wernt you by his side when the "sit in" was happening??? i for 1 will be much happier when you and your club leave this association and let cricket return to what it should be, FUN. PS big coq, if you want to talk about someone "getting high on their own self importance", how about you go back and read some of your own post you fool. talk about a know it all goose!!!

The only ones to take the fun out of Cricket are the Exec.
please show examples of self importance. Back your words with facts rumours are for dumb ass followers now run away little lamb.

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association

The recruitment drive is on ladies and gentlemen.

only throwing M.Vine and B.Cusick into the mix, I'm sure there are more.

Anyone from roosters, have you spoke to anyone in person? any lock-ins yet?

i am only looking for good young talent that we can build a side around and take us into the future as we already have some good quality kids ourselves.

I think these kids could make an impact in the VTCA i dont know of many other talented kids bar a few rooster 2 boys that we are developing and working with.
i do not want any Journey men chasing a dollar in there twilight years would rather invest in Kids with talent/potential.
Maybe 1 or 2 journey men if they come from a higher standard will have to look at iti e Chris Armstrong experience is Gold but not essential we have some wise heads anyhow.Future = Youth Kaching$$$$

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association

I agree with BicCoq here, Fine Legs you certainly are the Pot Stirer aren't you! I am just trying to think who you are. Are you a Congs player as you have stated before? Or are you just full of s..t?

As BigCoq said, the Roosters will deal with what Chris did internally. Stop taking cheap shots. Personally, i thought it was comical that he was able to get away with a 'lie in' on the pitch. I have known Chris for a long time now, and if thats what he felt he needed to do to get his point across, then so be it.

As for the Roosters, have spent a bit of time down there this year, fantastic bunch of blokes to have a beer with. Good luck in your decision for the future of your club boys!

Fine Legs it looks like one of your own boys isnt happy with you ha .
i think you should look within before you start looking at other peoples faults Champ
P.S. do u do any work for your club or are you just one of those blokes potting people at will because you have a massive chip on your shoulder or do you have integrity and role up your sleves and get stuck in what tpye of bloke r u?

After 60 years St. Andrews have decided to move to the VTCA thanks for all the love from the morons here who have potted us. We dont care what you say, easy to hide behind a computer even easier to protest before a grand final only to hide when presentations begin LOL. Go Sainters and look forward to the future where the committee can make a choice and not hide behind the clubs RIP WSUCCA TURF COMPETITION>

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association

Well it seems one team in St Andrews have now definatly confirmed that they are leaving and going to the VTCA as per the President Born Tiger Fan. It looks like the Roosters are 99% gone as well. Will anyone else leave the Churches Turf Comp? Only time will tell.

With 2 of the Top 4 sides leaving the comp it is only going to make the competition weaker. It could even get worse if the rumors of Congs leaving come to fruition as well.

None of the clubs who are leaving here should be looked down on as they are looking to grow their clubs and play in a stronger competition. As for the WSUCCA it will continue to go on as it has for many years as they have some very good administrators who will do there best to see the comp prosper. The unfortunate thing with the top teams going is that the quality of cricket will decrease and the gap between top and bottom will get bigger.

What has happenend with the turf comp this year has happened now and there is no point going over old ground. The Association need to look to the future and see where they can improve and where they can rectify there wrong doings.

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association

first of all chris is a very good bloke proud & passionate if i was to pick a bloke to go to war with he would be one of the first picked.
ur mail sounds second hand at best we were there yes but did we condone his behaviour no. we told him to pull up but he wouldnt listen so apart from physically restraining him & gagging him we were limited and yes some of his sledges were first class. Big danny from St Andrews come down and asked him to pipe down but this only worked for a short period. as for the Claude incident we were not aware of it until gooky told us the next day we cant follow him around every where he was over getting drinks. Anyhow why is this such a concern to you mate! r u trying to allude to somethingh other than we are a top club with great individuals who will back there mates up no matter what or are you saying were weak because we dont sell one of our members down the toilet
and for the record he was with the congs boys before we got there our pres's bro took him away to try to cool him down but that was never going to happen he was prepared to go to jail for his beliefs.
since you know who we are be a real man and feel free to introduce your self.

yeah champ he might be a good guy but his behavior on that day was nothing short of scum. my mail is 2nd hand but it seems to be on right on the mark. you say that you guys did not condone his behaviour but in other post, you and others from your club defend his actions and state that you will stick up for him if he gets reported??? i'm a little confused??? you dont condone what he did but will defend him? i must be missing something. i understand looking out for your mates, but to let someone disgrace your club and still defend them is something else! yes, i am saying your club is weak because you wont sell one of your members down the toilet. it looks like individules are more important than the club and its reputation! a strong club will stamp this out straight away and make an example out of him and make sure it wont happen again, by anyone! oh by the way, he might have been sitting with the congs boys, but none of them made an arse out of themselfs or their club! credit to the congs boys and their club!

Surely it is time to stop the petty arguements and back-handed digs at each other. What has happened is in the past, move on and start thinking about the future of your clubs in a positive manner, instead of getting caught up in the negativity that this thread has become...

Good luck to all in the forthcoming 2009/10 season, wherever that may be be...!!

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association

With the Season Over now and all the talking finished I think it is a good time to give my season review and what clubs need to do next year.

Melton Centrals: (A+) Premiers and again put out a strong side this year. Like all teams you need to keep improving to keep winning flags but you have strong leadership which is good. If they can keep the same side and can get back Nody Orrr and Ray Davis or pick up an additional seamer and a middle order batsman then they will once again be hard to beat.

St Andrews: (A) Great Turn around this year from previous years and definately best team in Home and Away season. Have a strong team with good leaders now. Need to pickup 1 or 2 batsmen as struggled to make runs in both finals. Bowling is very good but could do with a spinner to add variety to attack especially if going to VTCA.

Altona Roosters #1: (B+) A better year for you guys this year even though you made the GF last year. Improvement from some of your younger boys such as Robinson's batting and Justin's spin bowling was great. Well done to Mick Pots Nolton as well for getting everything possible out of himself to improve this year. As for next year will need to pick up 2 top order batsman, 2 strike opening bowlers and throw Hecke into the side as well if you wish to challenge for a flag in what ever comp you are in.

Willy Congs: (B+) A slow start this year but a very good second half to the season by not loosing a game after christmas. Probably had the best balance bowling attack in the comp with good pace and spin options. Batting is the area of concern going forward. Need more runs from middle order especially Happy Upal. Need to pick up 2 or 3 batts to complement bowling stocks.

Burnside: (B) Excellent effort coming from A Matts to 5th in Turf. Your Batting probably let you down in the end with the middle order not doing enough. Loosing Wayne Keily and Aaron Harvey for most of the year hurt as well. Hopefully you can more use out of them next year, pick up a couple of bats and another bowler to replace Rob Schaefer.

St Johns: (C) St Johns would be dissapointed going from premiers last year to not making the finals this year. Unfortunatley for them they lost a few players as well unavailabilities hurt their depth this year. If they can get Hutchy back for a full year, pick up a couple of good middle order batsman and a bit of improvement from the others then they could turn things around quickly.

Kingy Bapts: (C) Another once powerful club who would be dissapointed with their season especially with their slow start to year. Finished off the season well with some good wins but were hoping to do better than 7th especially coming back from VTCA. For next season will need to pick up 3 quality batsman as they struggled to make runs this year. Return of Warren Suares next year will be great addition to the side.

Caroline Springs: (D+) After loosing a majority of their players to Burnside it was always going to be tough for Caroline Springs this year. However they had a crack and their youngsters had some valueable experience playing on Turf. There is a lot of potential and improvement in Vine and Cusick, Captain Baig was a good bowler and the young kid T Bedse looks a good cricketer as well. Hopefully for their sake they can keep their good players next year and improve more. Will need to pick up around 4 good senior cricketers who can bat and provide leadership as well as another bowler if they are to make finals.

Altona Roosters #2: (D-) Roosters #2 had a crack in most games but were never really threatening to any sides. Brad Potae showed potential he could make the step up to the senior side and young Damo could as well in about 2 or 3 years time. It was also great to see Costa show some balls and get out in the middle and face the new ball every game. In the end it would of been better for them to play in A Matts were they would have been more competative. If your #1's can pick up players then it will make you guys stronger and more competative next year.

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association

With the Season Over now and all the talking finished I think it is a good time to give my season review and what clubs need to do next year.

Melton Centrals: (A+) Premiers and again put out a strong side this year. Like all teams you need to keep improving to keep winning flags but you have strong leadership which is good. If they can keep the same side and can get back Nody Orrr and Ray Davis or pick up an additional seamer and a middle order batsman then they will once again be hard to beat.

St Andrews: (A) Great Turn around this year from previous years and definately best team in Home and Away season. Have a strong team with good leaders now. Need to pickup 1 or 2 batsmen as struggled to make runs in both finals. Bowling is very good but could do with a spinner to add variety to attack especially if going to VTCA.

Altona Roosters #1: (B+) A better year for you guys this year even though you made the GF last year. Improvement from some of your younger boys such as Robinson's batting and Justin's spin bowling was great. Well done to Mick Pots Nolton as well for getting everything possible out of himself to improve this year. As for next year will need to pick up 2 top order batsman, 2 strike opening bowlers and throw Hecke into the side as well if you wish to challenge for a flag in what ever comp you are in.

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association

why roosters and St Andrews need to find a stronger league is beyone me, they are not even at the top of this one Billy.
As for leaving as they feel hard done by, this happened to a few teams in a semi final, it happened to centrals in a grand final with them having a real chance of a win. they regrouped and went back to fight on and redeem their status as a top side in the come. Other teams are just taking off. So who does that make a better stronger club.

As for the stuff with roosters captain, fine him a grand for bringing down the association and the game, he cant play until he has payed the fine, even for another association. Start sending some strong messages and make up for some mistakes.

Surely somone by now knows who dug up some pitches time to come out and land them in it.
