Walked out ? Or voted out ?

A lot of work to be done to regain respect at Salisbury West I can assure you.

[fineleg2fineleg]

Real easy getting on here and slamming a bloke with out knowing the full story. He is not the first bloke to play for 2 clubs in the 1 year and wont be the last.

Maybe, just maybe there is more to the story.

Thats fair but i think the point being is he was captain, i cant remember a captain walking out on his club?

but at the end of the day why would ya name a bloke captain when its his first year at a club. to me a captain should be someone with loyalty, who knows the club, is known and respected by all players and has earnt the right to be captain

agreed, but i thought it was HIM who was seeking the captaincy? At the end of the day although EP prob made a bad decision in naming him captain etc, but really from a club perspective it was ticking all the right boxes - a bloke whose played a good level of cricket, coming from a strong club, keen to be a leader etc etc.

You would think super was involved in the decision of captain not too much players vote or if it was they expected him to stay for the season no run out on the first loss. Either way EP will move on, ive heard they have already voted in a new captain and vice and both are suited for the job. EP are strong and will bounce back with a win and show him what he is missing out on.

All i will say on this is that in no shape or form was DJ voted out (no vote of any sort has taken place), he was most definalty a wanted player at EPFC and personally i actually thought he was a really top bloke and very easy to get along with and i probably had the most to do with him while he was there apart from Super.

DJ has played all his juniors and senior cricket at Salisbury West, he chose to move to EPFC along with Super. It would have been a tough move to make, i should know i left Eastern Park to which i had played all my juniors at.

Obviously EPFC never felt 'home' for DJ and he has decided it better if he was to play back at his true club. I can totally understand this while i was at Playford i enjoyed my time but it was never the same as playing for my real club.

At least DJ has had the balls to admit this and ask for a clearance back to SW, it is in the best interest of both parties that he has left before he couldnt play again this year. This is a much better option than playing the year out for us while not wanting to be there.

Personally i hold no grudges against him and to be honest i wish him the best in both on and off the cricket field.

Now for Eastern Park its time to appoint a new captain and find another number 3 batsmen, atleast we have another 11 rounds to get the right people in place.

As had been said before DJ is not the first and certainly wont be the last player to change clubs during a season.

Little bit of bait into the water there fineleg.. should be a well fought game.

[bothamsfearnley]

yep his back for this game! walked out as capt of E/P......

Weak as p!ss hope he struggles all year, clearly the testicular fortitude & backbone of a female jellyfish!

Isn't it nearly three clubs?

Just dont give it to the oldest bloke in the team

I have been sitting back reading and biting my tongue, but enough is enough, its very easy to get on here and bag a bloke but when someone walks out on there club after being appointed captaincy it is a disgrace, take the captaincy out of it and yes everyone would understand, so DJ has made this decision so DJ will have to deal with what ever is thrown his way.
His brother Scott also is one to always want the attention so it doesnt suprise me that DJ would be the same, i dont think DJ has anywhere near the ability of Scott but at the same time has Scotts ego, they couldnt possibly play in the same team together for the simple fact there wouldnt be enough people to stick there heads up there ass, DJ needs to take a good look at himself and re think why he wants to play cricket. As the old saying goes there is no i in team.

[Gunnerson]

he said he was'nt wanted at E/P.

pfft why would anyone want someone like that anyway? Hope he plays b grade and does nothing and E/P win a GF

DJ is a B grade cricketer at best, the sooner he is aware of that the better.

[Gunnerson]

How dodgy is BL!? Was time to fill out 3,2,1 votes Sat for the game and the vote cards were already pre-filled! No wonder Sibbick wins every year

Yeah that was weird! Honest mistake

How do other clubs do their cricketer of the years? stats, votes?

Does Jamie do the votes for himself? sure most weeks he busts his gut for Brahma but is it for individual success? Did he bowl last game?
We dont do votes, we have the points system and its the only way to stop mates looking after mates.

He is only pretty young though, sometimes the grass appears a little greener on the other side of the fence, it doesn't mean the fruit is any juicier though. Sometimes you need to jump the fence to experience this for yourself.
Whether it's the right or wrong thing to do, it's done now and I'm sure DJ would be feeling a little guilty and it's a decision he's going to have to live with for the rest of his playing days. I'm sure when Eastern Park make their way back up the grades and DJ plays against them in the future they'll remind him of this, especially "the hill".

They have played together in the 2 pdca grade 1 flags together and also played alot of a grade footy aswell. So that's that covered. As for Dj being like Scott, Scott has only played cricket at westies and won't leave and has had leadership roles in most yrs. Did u ever think that the ego is just his way of showing confidence to put opposition off their game. Different for each player

Was there any money involved for his role at EP? You would hope not! I have no time for blokes who think they are above the club they play for, i am sorry for sounding old fashioned about it, but DJ obviously didnt feel the love he thought he was entitled to. Yes he is young but you can still appreciate a club that is willing to stick its neck out and give a young guy captaincy. Finish the year and then move on.

got to know both Scotty & DJ very well this year due to their footy at The Lodge

both are great guys once you get to know them and they do show a fair bit of confidence about their ability, which most times they produce on the field - this is probably one reason why people who don't know them have a crack at them - at the end of the day it is a game and a bit of fun can be had along the way

It is well known Scotty is going back to Westies for Footy and DJ will probably follow but the one thing is they will always be welcomed at The Lodge

Back to DJ moving on, well if Eastern Park have and DJ has, then perhaps everyone else should as well...move on that is

[Gunnerson]

I have played in finals with blokes who should be playing B grade but are not because of who they no, so that doesnt cover anything. As for Scott he is always leaving or retiring every year so i can see where DJ gets it from, as for the egos how can you say his ego puts the opposition off there game? What a load of crap. How does wanting to be hugged and kissed from his team mates affect the opposition?

Exactly, i think people on here need to give DJ a break and let it go, even though he only played 3 games there were positives about what he did at the club, like the way he trained and the way he prepared before games.

And if we ever get to play against DJ im sure it will be tough on the field, but i would like to think we would have a few beers afterwards and maybe even have a joke about this situation.

The captaincy wont be going to the oldest bloke in the team Knoxy doesnt wanna do it.
