Yeva, are you from Rosewater? If so, perhaps you set the record straight about whats happening with them?

Or can any one else actually confirm whether the club is staying or going?

by **Westsider** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 4:02 pm

I can't confirm or not whether they are staying in the comp... but 3 weeks out from the beginning of the season, with 22 out of a minimum 44 players showing up for a trial game it seems to me the club is in a lot of trouble.

Charlie Rumbelow has quit the club, half the committee has quit, money has been stolen

All signs point the club is in major trouble, they may play this year, but they'll struggle to win a game.

by **yeva** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 4:04 pm

no, not from rosewater! Would like to know what is the go with them, dont really want to have a bye!!!
new into this div this year, so you can narrow it down.
just interested in knowing what was happening with other teams in the league and
wasnt sure westsider was going with his comments.

by **Felch** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 4:23 pm

Narrowed it down to Para Hills, Pooraka or Salisbury Yeva - you couldnt be from Mitcham, no one from there would be silly enough to get on here after getting beaten by CLG !!! :lol:

by **yeva** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 4:37 pm

you reckon anyone from mitcham wouldnt know how to use a computer??????
third one would be correct.
we played smosh on the weekend and there were some good signs.
can only improve on last year!

Ahhh...one of Pag's mates. Looking forward to playing you blokes, always a pretty keen contest.
Have you guys shrunk that oval down yet?- that bloody place is a career ender for us older blokes. Way too big !!! :lol:

by **yeva** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 4:49 pm

one of the blood nut's mates, not quite as young as him!!!
yeah we are looking forward to playing some new teams that we havent seen before.
oval doesnt get any smaller, especially the older you get :!:

but have to say its in very good nic for the lack of rain we have had (minus the pitch in the middle, rock hard)

looks like the B grade is a non event then

Yeah, have to admit Salisbury Oval has always had a great surface. Having the cricket club there during the summer to look after it helps - i know we always get our oval back at the end of summer in superb condition. Who have Salisbury got this week Yeva ?

by **yeva** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 5:06 pm

yes very true, only thing cricketers are good for! :wink:

we have got elizabeth at home, slightly earlier than normal times for a's and b's.
be just like old times.

Go the Eagles!

Felch, Port Reserve or Portland Oval is a batting paradise. Possibly the second best deck in the state besides Adelaide Oval.

Football shouldnt be allowed to be played on there.

by **Felch** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 5:33 pm

It was a footy oval long before it was cricket field WAT - but we can put up with the cricketers because they look after the ground so well.
Second best pitch in the state you reckon - that would explain why opposition teams always make BIG scores against Port Adelaide, i thought it was because Port were not that good. :wink:

by **WordAroundTown** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 5:40 pm

Port Adelaide struggle because they rely so heavily on Weeksy to make runs and take wickets.
They are more competative then they have been in past seasons.
Weeksy is a good footballer, maybe Portland could do with a mobile CHF.

by **Felch** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 5:45 pm

Hmmm....i think he may have been approached a month or two ago, dont think he was that keen to play, well not with us anyhow. I think most clubs could do with a CHF full stop, being mobile would just be a bonus.

by **WordAroundTown** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 5:49 pm

You guys should have thrown more money at him.

by **Westsider** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 6:09 pm

I think weeksy would play at rosewater if he played anywhere
not so sure now though, depends if tank, rumbles, tony howard etc play there this year

by **heater31** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 7:58 pm

Port reserve a batting paradice :roll:

pfffffffffffffffffffffffft. Glandore Oval has a better batting track by a country mile

If Weeksy is going to play footy then I guess he given up on his first class cricket career

limblom park(pooraka) would have to be one of the best ovals in div 4. it has the best of both worlds, not too big, not too small. the surface is always firm and the wings are wide enough to have a gallop when required. it has bend goal posts too. but once you know the bends you can snag a goal from anywhere.

Get it right mallee lindblom pk, great oval though even if you r looking into the sun for half the game
