E2014 not to far off the mark usually.

Would be interesting if he has as they have some young quality players coming through and depth in 2nd Grade. Won 20/20 final and in semi finals of first grade. What is the point of developing players and then recruiting and not playing them :-?



Cmon Hound your better than that :D

Not far off the mark? he is never close

I don't profess to know who Sounda has approached - and Eagles wont likely say as he hides behind a keyboard.

But as far a young fella's, they need to belt the door down to get a go or wait for an opportunity. A grade games are a privilege not a right!

I don't know why you keep saying "keyboard warrior", everyone on here says things, I am not hiding behind anything. I have contacts (high up in most Clubs) at all Grade Clubs, you are constantly told things. I never post anything that is not fact, and stand by it all.

Have you or Bulls Forever actually spoken to Sleepy, sounds like that's a No! I don't mind naming names if you want, seeing he openly has to anyone who listens.

He wants a keeper as Davey does not want to keep or may retire. He has agreed to terms with East Torrens A Grade player for next season (Alex Anderson).

He has approached our opening batsmen (second year in a row), he definitely is persistent.

Another two fast bowlers been asked where they sit, Oakley won't be there as not happy with how he has been treated, reckons he should be playing A Grade more regularly, did get 4 wickets last game too.

This is why parents of a couple of good juniors are annoyed at TTG, instead of giving them a go, (they may be guns!!), would rather top up 1st Grade with players from other Clubs.

Pipe down matey, your continual digs at TTG are getting boring and starting to carry zero substance. Concentrate a bit more on your own club champ or Grade cricket news and facts.


Sorry LM, but I respect most people at TTG greatly, what they have achieved over the last decade is remarkable, players like Davey, Weaver, Evans x2, Somerfield, etc have had great careers.

And the Dads of guys like Weaver, Davey and Evans are awesome blokes who are great to talk cricket to.

I read back over what I posted to see if you had a point, and have been critical of three things which I stick by:

1. Joe Gatting and ball tampering - absolute fact and stick by this, if you want to have him good luck to you, the other 12 Clubs would not.
2. Not giving Juniors a go and topping up 1st Grade with players from other Clubs - same, stick by this statement.
3. One premiership in Two day comp over last ten years with this Squad is below a pass mark, must win this year to change that.

Having said that, would you rather be TTG than most other Clubs over last ten years and the answer would have to be Yes!

Constructive and diplomatic, I like.

You wont see all of what I was referring to as I was requested to remove some of the content that was heresay.

You obviously have a wealth of experience with Grade cricket, just a bit less on the personal stuff and all is well, I for one enjoy reading your insight into the comp.

By the looks of it there may be a few batsmen looking for a hit :lol: , would say the bowlers will have restrictions on them and have to play as batsmen.


After watching the Redbacks bat this morning, don't think any of them should be playing Grade cricket this weekend. They all need a few tough sessions facing the Dukes ball as they all have literally no idea how to face it!!

Why doesn't the grade system follow FC at this time of the year and use the Dukes?

That's a good point, not sure. No doubt though if SACA High Performance Department (ie Tim Neilson) wants it to happen it will change next year.

We did not use them last year, and were not given any to use at Training either.

Couple of starts for McInerney. Shame he didn't go on with one of them. I'm sure he'll get another chance in the last game though. Good to see Woodville producing another state cricketer.

Have there been any letters to the editor praising their player development?

Every club got a sample box last year I thought.

Maybe they had only budgeted for 12 boxes for 12 clubs though? One had to miss out :D

@E14 is there a specific reason why the west Torrens new club rooms didn’t incorporate scoring facilities?

Also heard in the grape vine that west Torrens are approaching young Quick’s to help fill the void of Injuries and the fading away of Ben Williams
