been a while but reading the latest post makes me laugh...
there a debate about money in sport and who gets what player and so forth,
for me who gives a s**t who gets paid to play, if a club can put up some money
to get a player or two over isn't that a winner? i say that cause in reality unless the player is a tight ass, most times out of ten that money goes straight back over the bar.......c'mon seriously think about that
footy does it all the time, and they pay ludicrous amount of money for blokes i know who can barely kick both feet, if you bring players, you bring success, you bring
mateship, you bring a good feelilng around the club and blokes wanna stay around after training and games cause we all want one thing..........success!!
best offer will always win, thats how the world spins around, you can't tell me you work at your work to be loyal, if a company elsewhere pays more you gonna go aren't ya, well exactly the same for sports....
its a changing world and you gotta come along for the ride or shut up cause to me its jealousy showing in these posts...

probably the best post ive read on this forum. well done creekers

[bulldogs]

i know one club that is very happy, in this day and age you gotta move quick and have your process and direction set up before season end.

[Well run]

Wow. Finally some sense in a post of yours.

I have no issue with player payments either. If the club can afford it and it helps entice some quality people over, and I say people first rather than talent, then why not. It only becomes an issue when players are there for the wrong reasons. It is however an issue where clubs must be careful which people they are brining in. If the group dynamic changes with "imports" being brought in, and there are no signs of success, then questions should be asked. But if they choose carefully and that person fits in beautifully, then you'll usually find good times, not only throughout the season, but when it matters in finals.

Salisbury West have won 5 A grade flags since 97 without paying players. Yeah they've had a turnover of players like any other club, but MOST of the time, the players have been there without hidden agendas and for the good of the group.

Two Wells paid players and brought in some real quality into the club. On paper they were superior to all other teams. Success wasn't immediate, but the group grew together and showed what can happen after playing a few years together for the right reasons. They got their flag.....eventually (great catch Chrissy). And I guess the unity has been proven with the move as a group to Ingle Farm. Although there is money there, I reckon the main reason is the chance to play turf cricket, and support a mate who has been given the captaincy.

The only time I'd question someones motives is if they have a history of slutting around clubs, and if $200 gets them over the line. All in all, good luck to the paid players.....I sometimes wish I cashed in.....after all, we are in a global financial crisis

very good.. i think that the people who are not agreeing with it come across as being a little bit selfish about there cricket.. by saying if one bloke gets it then we should all get it.. in one way i can see the point there but for me it is a case of people not wanting what is best for there club on the field ... its all good to think your club is the best run club in the comp, but its also the results that matter.. for any club to say they wouldnt pay oz 500 is going to just stay average

thats the only reason oz... there is no way i would sign anywhere just for money.. i think fraka is a smart cricketer and is someone i respect and ingle farm have picked up some good blokes who will show lots of love to there new club..

bit over hearing about salisbury west and how great the club is and dah dah dah and dah, obviously its well run and well done to them, they will probably be around for another 100 years.....
the way things are going in para districts they will be playing themselves in the not to distant future, lets face it who are gonna compete against them next season????
BL, OTH, Salisbury North, they are no where the calibre of creeks and two wells really aren't they, thats been proven in the past few years
maybe its time for sw to look elsewhere? maybe chruch league or adel tuf??
they get spoken about very highly on this forum so why don't they raise the bar if this comp is to easy??
we've done it so why don't they?
and by sounds ingle farm is gonna have alot of love next season

Sandy Creek won 7 out of 13 games last season and scraped into the finals, you/ they were no world-beaters. Good on Westies for being the strongest club in the PDCA, there's nothing wrong with being the hunted. Didn't Virginia beat Sandy on both occaisions last season?
Brahma Lodge are only a player or two short of being up there with Westies, Salisbury North and Angle Vale will be extremely competetive aswell next season in Grade 1.
Can I ask how many players under 20 that came through the juniors at Sandy Creek played A's last season on a regular basis?
Westies have it over all of the other PDCA clubs because they develop their juniors so well and don't have to throw cash around to be a talented side, they have depth that want to play A grade, there are many players going around in the PDCA who would be in the best 11 at their club but don't wish to play A's.

My post was never suggesting money, just interest shown.

Your right, money can cause success in which then other clubs are jealous of.

[creekers]

haha we'll see how the first season goes but i'm sure the bowling will be bit better
then the darts you serve up weekly, how about turning one every now and again...
twin
brownie stop agreeing all the time mate, have an objective opinion,
if brahma paid $500 to a few blokes who could take you blokes from 4th to top isn't that worth it? it will bring team morale, success the club and everyone will wanna come to your club for those factors....
like i said before whats $500 when in reality that money will go straight back to the club with extra bar takings? believe me on this one
thats why alot of clubs pay now whether it be footy, cricket basketball s**t even
lawn bowls, you bring quality=success

[Browny25]

No one said that BL wouldnt!!!!

Yawn. You speak of jealousy of other clubs in another post and then write this. HAHAHA.....Pot, Kettle, Black.

Yet you pimp Sandy Creek all season....classic stuff.

First thing CREEKERS is not from Sandy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Second thing only one guy played A grade last year under 20 for us. If this means anything to you , Prob had 4 playing inour B grade and about half every week in our C Grade.
Dont all suck up Creekers arse. Im glad Stama and Jimmy didnt come to us they would be there for the wrong reasons. For you to say we are average Catchit is just funny as ****. We have won a grade 1 flag recently with the way we run things

are you for real?? you no what reasons i play for and to say you are glad makes me laugh.. you are just looking like a sook now you have known for a while that our options were open and yet you make out you are so pissed off now.. seriously you have to move on from it.. i wouldnt want to play at a club where the chairmen would sook over everything anyway..
as for your grade 1 flag..not sure you will pick up another bomber and bill for a while i also reckon it will be a while before you can replace bombers 500 runs..
