EP Sport - back with a vengeance

[eags]

Weather's looking a bit iffy for this week. Showers forecast right through to Sat. If WF can't get a pitch up at Centenary does that mean we play on hard wicket or does the game get rescheduled for next week?

[WhiteTips]

Hard wicket eags!

Unless it's completely rained out on saturday it will be then played on sunday....i distinctly remember one grand final this happening and orchard was un-available on the sunday

[rumourmonger]

pitch is already to soft, be prepaired to play on the hard wicket!!!
bIGGLES TRAINING AND PISS UP TOMMOROW NIGHT ... SEE YA THERE!!!
Whats the goss on DR and Waybacks anyone heard anymore?

[WhiteTips]

Pitch will be fine for sat if it dosnt rain again RM

No discussion on the DR on this site RM, moderator will remove anymore post's in regard to this matter!

[ravendale rulz]

Two spots up for grabs for us this week with 4 people left - Dodd, Haywood, Reinke and Tonkin. No Mahoney!

[Scooby]

Tonks must play, very handy bowler on the turf and therefore a tough call on other 3.. Reckon Haywood will get the nod over Doddy but unlucky whoever misses out..

Whats the general consensus on coach have heard mixed reports?? i reckon he will go alright the guys seem to respect him different feeling at the club this year hopefully all for the better you training RM ???

[biggles]

By the way one of the Charlton boys left a book at the game on Saturday. It's got a few phone numbers and names of players (think it might be a training diary or something). If any of you boys are looking for it just let me know and I'll drop it off.

that would be mine eags not very important but required so could you please drop it in at the Northern when you get a chance cheers mate

Just heard your "little whisper" myself there WCP.
Just for those who are sooooo concerned about our availability of certain players, check the constitution, Rule 11. (c) "When both senior teams of a club compete in finals on the same day, all players who have played 3 minor round games minimum for the season, are eligible for either team.
Those selected in the B.Grade team shall retain their B.Grade eligiblity should the A.Grade be defeated".
Therefore everyone who played for us on Saturday IS eligible to play in the GF. I have checked this TWICE with the PLCA.I hope this clears up any misconceptions that anyone may have. Thankyou for your concern & good luck to all playing in the GF's.

Rumour has it that this rule will be reviewed at the AGM, am keen to hear everyones thoughts.

[eags]

No worries Biggles will drop it in there next time I'm going past.

[eags]

What sort of review are you talking about? I can't see why there would be a need to change it? Players who have played a final in a higher grade cannot go down and play in a lower grade should the higher grade be knocked out. It doesn't matter what sport you play. If both sides are playing finals that week then you should be allowed to swap players between grades as much as you like.

[bystander]

Proposed review would involve removal of paragragh that says players playing B's when A's loose retain B's eligibility, therefore leaving the 2 of that players last 3 games rule only. e.g. Jim Stockham would not be eligable this week even tho he played in the B's last week, simply because the A's lost last week.

[rumourmonger]

Yeah Ill be there biggles....
Now Bluey s MYTH BUSTER is that Tasmans have now won 3 flags.... is it Blueys crap or not? I grew up knowing that Tasies had never won a flag and it is true. Scoob are u the same? When u were captain did u know u had won a flaG BEFORE? Not good enough this publicity officer... Whats next ...Father Xmas is real??/

Cant believe the covers arent on during this rain.

[Scooby]

Nice pics Eags & Snozza!! Hows the myth of Tassies never having won a flag being shattered.. Pom Ovens told me that he knew Tassies had won at least 1 flag coz he researched the premiers in the 50s for a book that Waybacks did in 1996. The GM wouldn't believe him but humbley apologised today in the Times..

Good luck to both sides and hope its a close and exciting GF..

[rumourmonger]

Did my homework and they werent "official" premierships, due to the war. Ian Beeby confirmed!

[another grub]

Had a quick look out in the archives during my lunch scoob and rm and can confirm that Tasmans have infact won the premierships. In 1949 they drew with LS and due to them finishing minor premiers they were awarde the title. In 54 they defeated Charlton outright. I always thought it too be true also as did the President of the Assoc for 40 years (whistle).
Not too sure about the war tho rm? Dont think you are right!

[another grub]

If anyone disputes this they are welcome to call into the PLT and I will show them the archives.

[maverick]

Haloman, I can see you there watching the cricket stirring up the young lads on the piss that missed a game! You love stirring the pot!
It is common knowledge that Tasmans have never won a flag and this is just a Bluey/another grub Grand Final week story. Believe it and your an idiot! As if after all these years of people giving them crap, some club elders wouldn't have known wether or not they had won a flag and put a stop to the story. What do you know about the supposed myth R Rulz?
Waybacks are protesting about Jimmy Stockham playing Bs, 2 out of his last 3 havnt been in the Bs so he can't play! under any circumstances.

[another grub]

Anyone had a look at the acceptences for the races Sunday....Sunny Diva all up Emu Walk was my bet for the day but EWalk has drawn the outside but should still cross or at least death seat and win - SD $1.80 into EW $2.60 - $3... so hopefully around $4.50 - $5 for the all-up.
Guernica can turn the tables on Linc Sea, with a soft run behind Let It BE and new star Shanicity it will be hard to beat. Back it each-way and you wont go wrong! Lex Luthor is proving costly for me but I suppose we better follow-up.
Mrs Spudley can run a race in town for us on Saturday and get a placing at 20-1, have a bit each-way on it - it is going well!
What are your thoughts OL, BTB, TRR, AK, RR? Could I get your tips for the meeting? every race!
OL have followed a couple of your tips and I am now broke, do you still ride horses or have some involvment in the industry?
mav I couldn't beleive it either but it is there in the paper! Get over it and move on and rm to say that the publicity officer is crap is a disgrace after he has just pulled the scoop of the last 40 years!
Interesting selection there scoob, I totally agree... Dodd/Haywood is 50/50... Tonks may not be the flavour of the month with the selectors.. he may miss? and agree that the best 2 teams are in the GF and The GM was right at the start of the year in predicting this quinella!

so wats the tips for the waybacks and charlton colts grandy this wkend??? surely waybacks have to be favourites, seein as theyv had the wood on them all year long and have beaten them in the past few grand finals. would be good to see the young chargers have a win, waybacks have got to many in their trophy cabinet already.
