Relax not starting a debate was just curious, with the changes coming in.

I know a few people are in the know at their respective clubs on here and was looking to see where we may sit in the scheme of things.
It's all good Bazza, it's just a can of worms that gets opened on a regular basis where everyone tries to crunch out numbers they've heard from a mates mate and then add GST and travel allowance and think that they know it all.

Mawson Lakes weren't as bad as results suggest last year, they were very competitive and did knock off a fair few sides in the 2nd half of the year.

Depth was woeful though, that is the biggest test for them to try and build that depth and/or keep their best side on the paddock for most of the season.

Not sure if they're a genuine contender but they'll definitely be around the 5, and play an important part in who does make it.

You see Gardens coming back to the pack that much? Big gap to close.
Although they have performed very well for the season so far, they still have to play arguably the 3 most successful over the past couple of years , all away and two of them are two dayers, Virginia and Westies both play the two bottom sides and Virginia meet Riverside in the last round where football trials might take preference to playing a dead rubber.
I hope I'm wrong, the Gardens have been a revelation and have struggled in Grade 1 every time they've been up there since the 90's, being a former player I'd love to see them take the flag out, it would do wonders for the comp too which had huge gaps between the top few teams and the bottom few only a few years ago.

Correct.
Why do you think he is going to Div 6 ?
Ask his father,let's not kid around here.
A knee that keeps breaking down ain't gunna see him cut it in Div 3 as a dominant ruckman.
That's life.

It's a good thing we don't use our knees in Div 6 then.

Discussion raised last night at the Delegates meeting over the consideration of exploring one season of complete One Day matches next year.

Option to have maximum of 10 overs per bowler instead of 8 thought.

Peoples thoughts? Comps obviously barely surviving.. might not be the worst idea.. although for the purists who like 2 day cricket its pretty ordinary.. :(

If it did turn into a One Day comp, i would like to see games start at 10:30 with a potential early finish. That might entice a few more players. Would it still be 40 overs or would it turn to 50?

50 over a side cricket would be a long day. Like the idea of early starts, but that might upset a few with Saturday morning work, and clubs that have school cricket on it, in the morning.

I like the variety we have in our comp now with 5 X 1 Dayers, 5 X 2 Dayers and 3 X T20 matches.

Thats because your batting is as boring as bat shit and you would probably have to retire. Which would be a good thing and entice a few back to Rose Park that left because they fell asleep watching you bat.

Cue- Zartan asking what day your playing.

We're going to Mildura (yes I know it's not SA) but the trip there and back is half the fun.

What a pleasure he was to Coach. MLFC are still looking for that Number 1 Guernsey I believe.

Condolences to Craigmore cricket club on the passing of a club stalwart and true gentlemen of the game

Well done to Mawson Lakes last Saturday, they play like a team that has been together for a long time and were too good on the day. Special cheerio to Matty Ralph who played in the ressies. A goal was disputed by the Lakers goal umpire and after much deliberation Ralphy insisted it was in fact a goal. All class champ.

Sounds like they'd be better off without him anyway with that shit house attitude

Of course i would in my B grade pal, any day of the week, taking the piss out of Greg Norman Holland.
