NEED FOR SPEED;334687 said:Unfortunatly PEOPLE the game of cricket has come to it's lowest ebb!!
Cannot believe this has happened again.
Cannot take anything away from the assoc. who have tried their best to give all you blokes a fair game of cricket and do not warrant any critisizim.
Wheather ambushed by outsiders, or clubs that were too scared to try and win i must agree that whoever involved needs to be banned from ALL cricket associations for ''LIFE'' (with NO parole)
Yes i also agree 'TURF' games should be rescheduled for next weekend and as strange as it sounds, comp should have someone watch the wickets overnight. Not necessary to pay security 'BUT' have someone from each club participating in the final to have 2 people camped at grounds maybe??
Seems to be same old Melton Centrals, Congs, St Andrews involved.
If it were up to ME i would abondon the whole season and read the riot act
Enough of turf issues but it seems MELDOWN STH have '''CHOKED''' AGAIN
Suicide watch has been ordered for all their B Matts players after THE OLD BOYS comprehensively kicked their arses back to Melton
As stated by 'POTS' we all need to be carefull of them as they are proven finals players. 50+ yrs or not. Champions Win or Loose. Erned respect!!!

Forbesy;335308 said:Big Coq, you can call me skelator if you like, my teamates do. To answer your question is two fold, no it is not in the spirit of the game, and secondly was it the right decision. You must see it from the association point of view. All grounds affected would not be ready for a number of weeks. So they would have had to source 2 grounds, Altona Green and another. I can think of a number of grounds around the newport area (baseballers for instance) that may have been available. If I was a decision maker I would have attempted to secure 2 grounds, play the semi this coming sat/sun and the granny the following 2 saturdays.
However in saying that a lot of calls would have had to be made to make this happen. I cannot and will not knock the Executive, the work they do for the association is beyond reproach. If someone thinks they can do a better job, please step forward and stop laying the boots in from behind your computer names. Till next year lads (if I am still around) happy drinking.

NEED FOR SPEED;335319 said:Got to agree with you on the executive point here Forbesy. The old blokes running it would do a hell of alot of work to try and organize everything so as WE can play cricket.
They are still there probably not by want but by nessesity because as you said NO-ONE ELSE will stand up to help out and take over any roles.
As soon as we do not like a decision we belt the crap out of the executive.(Although i think maybe a bad one was made on weekend).
On your second point regaurding G.F for following 2 Saturdays.
I really think after this digging of pitches has happened again that the Semi & Grand finals should be played over 1 weekend each Sat/Sun & Sat/Sun.
This would mean pitches could be watched overnight so as to eliminate them sitting unattended for the whole week.
Bit sad when you need to start thinking like this though!!!

BigCoq;335337 said:Billy i always go in to bat for you when players bag u & ur decisions cause we have history Roosters/yarra baps & St Andrews. i also think you make good sense on the blog insteasd of the usual crap that gets bandied around.
Now Billy i at no stage pointed the finger at you guys i asked ur pres about the story that was reported to me by the Congs boys about a car driving past bla bla bla. now from an outsider point of view it doesnt sound good but the pres sorted that out. I did not say there needs to be an investigation on that particular incident but there needs to be an investigation with all teams to try to get close to the truth it is great that your blokes are defending the club as it should be.
look mate MeltonCentral come back to our room and some of the Congs boys as well so alot of thing were getting bandied around we had a beer with everyone and just tried to numb the pain but it hasn't worked.
i would never jump to conclusions because that gets us know where it just start more trouble than its worth.
LETS GO THIS WEEKEND LET CRICKET DESCIDE.
SIGNED THE ANGRY MOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shaved_Plums;335349 said:I was wondering if the 4 clubs involved have actually gotten together to discuss solutions. The one thing I will say is that no matter what happens, whetehr the games are replayed or continued or not finished at all, the flag this year is definately tainted. In my opinion the games should be replayed this Sat/Sun and the granny played next Sat/Sun. I have no doubt my team mates would be willing to replay the game. But as I have stated a couple of times now, it doesn't matter what we do; most of you have already decided we are guilty!!!!!!! It is a huge disappointment what has happened over the weekend but we do need to come up with a solution - not just for this year but for the future. I think all finals should now be played over a weekend (Sat/Sun). The teams that are competing can set up camp on the sat night (not ideal, but something has to be done). Has there benn any updates? Have the commitee changed their decision? Has anyone come forward and owned up to this low act? Has anyone got any hard evidence to maybe point their finger? I just hope that we can continue to grow as a comp after this. I believe this can make the comp stronger if handled in the correct way. The one thing I will point out in all of this is that there are a couple of people that chat on here that are from the Willy comp! Now there have been a few barbs thrown around as to who has the stronger comp, who's pitches are better and so on. But I am not pointing the finger at anyone in particular, just stating a fact!!! AND WHY HAS BILLY GOT A YELLOW CARD?????????
