Mr Grave Digger

FYI

Michael Johns - 437 runs @ ave. 12.85 prior to yesterdays 100 in 4 seasons.

only twice made more than 100 runs in a season in that time, 8 matches in Div 4, highest score of 38..

I havent been a star performer during that time but fraction more consitant, dont bad mouth me when the guy your club continues to throw its support behind cant even be competitive..

[Phantom Gossiper]

I dont really care who loves who and how doesnt. I just want to no if we are in or not!. I have a Jimmy Barnes concert to go to next sat night. When will we find out what is right. Would be good to see you blokes stop sooking about crap and move. people play where they want to and its up to them not others. Fair dinkum

My calculations show Fitzroy acrue 2.7 points yesterday (9 wickets, 190 runs)
Paralowie acrue 12.95 points (6 1st innings, 20 wickets, 295 runs)

If im right ladder would read:-

Paralowie 64.51 points,
Fitzroy 63.08 points

LOL well done!

But current form should always be part of the criteria . I think this has all been blown way out, all i asked was for someone to have a crack at picking a div 1 side of the year! Gee man was it that fricking hard!

As for the rep sides, perhaps more people should show a keener interest and actually try instead of badgering those who do.

carey18, id give you a run ;P

PARALOWIE DEFINATELY IN FROM MY CALCULATIONS....unless i have been given the wrong scores!!!

good effort by the boys. they should have won outight though and put us roy boys out of our misery early!!

3 point deduction has hurt us dearly. The exec have ALOT to answer for frivously deducting us these points. i wonder if they will be all gabbling amongst each other again next year to find another way screw fitzroy over....this may have been their last time. watch this space.

Hendo...better cancel Jimmy Barnes mate.......

NEK looked pretty solid. good bunch of blokes too. gonna be a tough game. whoever wins that game, will win the GF. If paralowie hold early catches, they will win.

Good luck to all !!!

[carey18]

LOL there is about 5 of us going to jimmy i think. im guessing we will just leave after the game. Yeah i have a few mates at NEK from my days at Croydon. I think our bowling will go ok agaisnt there batting style. If we are in will be a good game. Im sure they want to pay us back for last seasons farce

BB I am not sure they pick on you. I hope you stay in the comp dont let some little things worry you. It will be a very good Div 1 comp next year. I think the teams will be the same as this year.

Not sure they are little things, when you miss out on playing a grand final when it was clearly in the rules the game could be played at a later date which we were up for.
As for the 3 point deduction, I am struggling to find the rule stating a one point deduction per game that someone was not registered (even though he was always a Fitzroy player, and we were not trying to pull a swiftie).
Last year we didn't want to leave the comp, as it would like we were just spitting the dummy, and this year div 1 has turned out to be a cracking comp, but seriously enough is enough. I think that is the view shared by the majority at the club.

[warren squire]

word on the street is that Paralowie were lucky to get away with it yesterday - the parkers were one wicket away from the outright, and should have got it.

word on the next street is that the paralowie captain made some interesting decisions during the match by declaring at 2/90 in the first dig, knowing that reidy was unavailable the following week, basically keeping the parkers in the match, and then instructing his tail to block it out with only 5 runs to get and the field in, which would have secured the outright and a guaranteed finals spot.

anyway, good luck in the finals and watch out for the new look parkers next season, we have just lined up gilchrist and hayden.

[carey18]

So we let the last wicket try smash the winning runs and if they get out we finsh last or we block out the last over after being on phone hook ups to find out the points from the other games. Dont no what streets you are driving down champ. Y should of the parkers got the last wicket?

....lmfao

interesting point though. maybe they wanted to finish 4th and play NEK ?? grudge match from last year???

word on the street is that there was alot of phoning around for scores during all the div1 games.

HAHA i think there ws a lot of phoning around for scores in most of the grades! Closest comp. over the grades in many a year!

not what I heard, you only had to score 12 runs of the last 4 overs and rose park had the field in. 3 runs an over should've been achievable to get an outright and ensure a place in the finals and not relying on scores from another game.

The constitution states that a points "may, as it considers appropiate,..." be duducted if the executive feels it necessary. Again this is soft wording, open to interpreation as i have been eluding to on previous posts.

there is so much i would like to say here but i wont. The cricket has been great, no doubt, but why would anyone want to play in any compettion where there is no faith in the system, or more importantly, the lack of system.

i encourage the exec on this forum, and all interested parties, to look at the suburban rules and constitution. the rules are harsh, but clear. total transparancy in my reading. at least you know what you are in for. with churches, there is only gut feelings, or " as it consideres appropiate". Lots of must, will, shalls. Incidently, they would enforce a penalty of $10 for an unregistred player, not a match point.

Oh another thing, just to weigh it up, Eastside were docked 6 points for alcohol on the field in 2 matches....we have a supposed unregisted player in 3 matches and lose 3 points. Fair???

if thats so, shaun has alot to answer for!! i think he should say something. i would find it almost unbelieveable if shaun didnt instruct his boys to win the game. i know he plays hard.

And if the last wicket got out?. what then champ?

Im not going to weigh into this debate, its a fairly touchy subject. However 3 points for an unregistered player is harsh in my view.

Eastside are repeat offenders and im sure there has been other issues around their club, the 6pts deduction i think was fair and firm so they can hopefully pull their heads in.

Why dont you join the exec BB? Or why does the assoc have a member on the exec that can be there to voice the players concerns? Like a player rep?

[carey18]

Im sure if Shaun wasnt playing in the rep game he would answer for himself. When i went out to bat with Frithy they had all but 2 players on the fence. was a joke of a field. they then pulled a injured player who had to be swapped. they then had a bowler who lost his run up twice. remember it goes on time. Dont say we played to draw.
