have you been in some good form azza? moved up a grade[/quote]

Just helping out as far as the club is concerned[/quote]

sounds like there is an interesting selection policy out there at HV...[/quote]

When your club gets around to having more than one team, you too will find yourself making some interesting calls

one team is enough to have to make tough calls. however i wonder how you will feel when you watch your C grade mates playing in a semi/grand final, while you are sitting out because they promoted you into the B grade to strengthen your C grade?

Like I said before pumba, when trinity get more than the one team that they have now in C1, and dont get me wrong, you have got some very handy players kicking round there, probably better than the grade that they are playing, when you get into a higher div and have a B grade and a C grade, you will come across some selections that from looking from the outside in , dont all appear to be as it seems

[Iron Fist]

are woody south that strong at the moment??
how would they fare if they were to keep the same side from this season and move upto A1
would they be good enough to cut it??

[The Buff]

I think woody south would be about par in A1. There is enough talent there to be competitive.

[shoe boy]

How are Reynella going?

Who are their better players?

i am aware azza that we only have one team and on times we have had to leave ppl out. but you have not answered my question. surley there cant be many other reasons a club would stack a C grade other than to try and win the flag there since there B grade is near the bottom. i am in no way suggesting that HV is the only club that dus this either. what i was asking is how do you feel personally with a club treating you that way? i am happy to say that no doubt i would be in a similar position too you, not a big contributor but part of the team with my mates. if i was moved up a grade at this stage of the season with no form i wud be disgusted with the club for preventing me a chance to play in the finals.

I am happy to say pumba, that i am not disgusted with the club in anyway, playing finals or qualifying for finals goes on the games played in that grade or another grade lower, so helping out the club in a higher grade due to players being unavailable doesnt affect my position in the team at all, players have to come back in, so all the teams have players playing if different grades then they normally would. As for the stacking of the C grade, I can assure you that this was not the case and in fact , the team playing this week is not as strong as the one that played the week before

[puma]

All I can say is well done to azza for playing in the b grade last week and doing very well from all reports. All players have had the chance to go up this year from C grade to B grade at Hope Valley and i have done it myself and all have performed pretty well. This week was azza'a turn and he took the opportunity with both hands. As for stacking the C grade, that is so far off the truth that those making those accusations really have no idea!! For example we have two under 17 players that won't be able to play in our senior side because of their under 17's finals so luckily we have players like azza that have qualified for the C grade finals. How do you stack a side that has been top all year???

[quote="tedbullpit"]With two rounds to go what are peoples thoughts on Premiers & those staring down the barrel of relegation? For mine: -
A1 -Grand Final: Payneham to beat PAOC. Dark Horse: Pulteney Relegated: Gepps Cross, Woodville Rech.
SPOC have overachieved IMO I think the Payneham & Princes boys will step up at the right time of the season. Pulteney & Grange could be dangerous if they sneak into the four but have it all ahead of them. If Woody Rech can snatch a win in their last two it may be enough to keep them in A1 but it's a tough ask against inform Grange & Payneham outfits.
A2 - Grand Final: Woody South to beat Scotch. Dark Horse: Hope Valley Relegated: Walkerville, Marion
Woody South sit nearly 24 points clear at the top with 6 sides vying for the final 3 spots. Scotch are the most even side of the bunch with the rest of the group relying too much on individuals. The winner of this rounds Kilburn v Walkerville match should get enough points to jump Marion and keep their spot in A2 for next season.

Don't Old Scotch heavily rely on Peter Harvey to take wickets, he is 21 wickets ahead of his nearest team mate.

fair enuf azza, it still dus not make sense to me. if i put it simply there are players better than you playing in your C grade (which i doubt u would disagree with), while you play B grade?

The best 11 individual players don't necessarily make the best team though.

One day it will Pumba, make sense to you, I agree this seasons form from myself has been the worst form of my career, does not necessarily mean that there are better players than me in that grade

Sometimes pumba you have to be a club man, not play for yourself .. I played at hv years ago and he is very capable of playing b grade.

fair enuf azza, i think we will have to agree to disagree as we both seem too be missing each others points!

as azza mentioned he is not having his best year while some of his fellow C graders are performing very well, hence top of the table. i understand you have to play for the club not yourself but still feel that some things in this case dont seem equal

from the ATCA website:
"Friday 25 February 2009 will see Grange playing Payneham in the final of the ATCA 20/20 Competition for season 2008/09. Whilst this match is scheduled to commence at 5.20pm (all arrangements are geared for this time) there may be a slight delay due to the staging of the Les Favell Foundation game which will precede this final. The 20/20 final will be played with pink balls, black sight boards and should they be necessary the Adelaide Oval lights will be utilised.

All players involved in these two important matches will appreciate any support that is provided over the two days. Please note there is no fee for entry to the oval for either fixture."


good luck to both sides. lucky sods!
