GEPPS CROSS CRICKET CLUB 2011/2012
As discussed last night, Gepps Cross Cricket Club has to move forward without the services of Steve Sykes.

Steve will be missed by all at the club and we wish him best in the future.

We are looking for a club coach (playing preferably), we will be fielding 4 teams at this stage (2 2day and 2 1 day teams) with the A grade in A3.

We are also looking for past players to help out at the club, whether it be scoring, helping in the nets or helping back of house, all is needed!!

If anyone would like to help out, or has any questions please PM me or call Kym Flanagan on 088260 1022 or 0439 701 022.

Thanks.

I'm confused ?????

I spoke to Creedy couple days ago, he told me that when he spoke with Gepps Cross last season and over the winter about returning, it would be on the proviso that they recruited well and improved their roster.
Seems he wasn't happy with what he seen so went with Matty Rogers to Pooraka.

amazing what some money will do, geez gepps will be happy. does anyone out there just wanna play for a club and work with there younger players and help them develop. seems to me that no one gives a rats about clubs all they care about is there own gain.
ray will we see any of these recruits play 100 games for your club

Pooraks throwing around some serious coin this season by the looks with Scott Strangio and Matt Rogers both signing up this week!

i think it is sad that clubs have to throw around big coin to secure the services of cricketers just to play , every club at some stage would try and recruit to improve there lists , but with some of the figures getting thrown around these days, the question would have to be asked is it worth the short term success that this may bring vs the long term survival of your club

Hey azza, what about Jeff Vaughan?

B & S you're the last bloke that should be coming on here taking the moral high ground considering your track record!! Clubs should actively recruit to try to better their club, but unfortunately sometimes that attracts the blokes that will only hang around for a year or two, happily take the money, and when something is taken away from them (c), they spit the dummy and look elsewhere!! With all the clubs you've been at, surely you would have seen a lot of hard working guys and girls that rock up every week, do all the behind the scenes stuff, and never ask for a cent. They are club people and you should take a leaf out of their book!! I hope Gawler Centrals don't go through the same dramas that Ingle Farm have because of you!! Maybe season 2012/13 you'll be at Pooraka, I hear they have some money and a red cap would mix up the colours on your hat rack!!

merki i like alot of what you write, the blood sweat and tears good people do for a place can never be understated. one thing i will say B & S never held the club to ransom or played for alot of money, he in fact attracted a few sponsors to help cover the budget spent on recruiting players. In his 1st season some guys that followed him out played for nothing. There is a misconception that IFarm spent lots of coin. Yes we will watch who we recruit in the future as i think a big lesson has been learnt, players need to play for the correct reasons and what we want to see is players playing to help build the club. anyway we have on board some good people and some good young kids.

I dont believe it's about money. To my knowledge Cree was paid at Gepps as would've been the case again this season, and rumor has it he isn't getting that much or any more at Pooraka, I think the decision is more based around playing in a more successfull side.

Could be wrong though..

and thats fine phantom, we know how much Gepps struggled last year and i assume by the chatter they would of thought cree was playing for them this year, season is only 2 weeks away and they lose a player that could of made a difference to gepps. you either wanna play for a club or not , take the good with the bad, enjoy the wins and drown the sorrows for a loss. what happens if pooraka arent successful? I must be getting old

Im not disagreeing with you by any means, nor am I saying I agree with Cree's decisions, i'm merely explaining his reasoning.

Wasn't he on a recruiting drive for Gepps Cross ??

How are the knees holding up Ray ??

Oz i think having Matty Rogers sign up for us has been a big factor in Creedys decision. Definantly not a coin scenario as i believe he would of got more at Gepps. Had knee done 3 weeks ago and seems to be coming along ok. Is Waz playing with you? He will kill someone!

Col Kirkwood and JJ are doing the coaching. Johnny Ahern was going to coach but was unable to in the end so the legends put there hand up.

Only time will tell dogs if the new guys will be around for a while but one things for sure we needed to recruit players to cover the loss of 5 players from our A grade. We lost some quality players at the end of last year and we still as a club want to get back into A1 so we are very happy with who we have picked up. We have spent bugger all coin over the years we just believe we need to if we want to return to A1.

Waz - I hope so mate. Hoping to get a few pre Christmas games in and then from Christmas onwards. Would only be off the short run I'd imagine mate

If things aren't going well for Pooraka will Rogers be a sooky lala like last season and go back to TTG?

Or maybe Matty realised that he didnt want to play cricket in a paddock.

I let gepps know my situation early... You say that people either wanna play for a club or not, well if we didn't build a better player list, I didn't want to play. . In my first meeting with Sykes (when he was still at gepps) i told him upfront my situation with what I wanted to do this season with Gepps, that included adding to the player list. We shook hands knowing that fact. When Sykes quit I had the same meeting with Kym Flannagan. I tried my hardest to recruit players to the club this offseason. Had a couple of people signed up, who have decided to now stay or not play. That's fine, it's up to those people where they play. Pooraka asked me what I was doing with my cricket last year a day after the season was finished, I told them the same thing I told gepps. As it stands now, Gepps have not improved the A grade playing list from last year. Therefore I am going to play elsewhere. Gepps may feel hard done by, i apologise for that. I never left for money, I told gepps to pay other people rather than me to attract them to a club. Everyone talks about commitment to a club and loyalty, I told the club my position and when that position arrived, I did what I always said I was gonna do and moved on.

Fair enough then to, most on lookers would just assume I imagine you called up 2 weeks out and said sorry lads, im off to pooraka, if they knew the circumstances from the start then im guessing they should of planned for this, all though as there worst case scenario

Like many at Kilburn I have been blackmailed into playing another year there . I messaged you that I was the other week. Moved to C2 so just playing with mates and trying to win an "A" flag haha. But if all falls through numbers wise and we cant even field one side, ill be running to R&C, well maybe fast pacing
