Ive heard a rumor how to get you out! I know the secrets to getting MW out!

if you were bowling at your ground its easy. drop it short and have someone either a) on the soccer oval or b) on St Bernards road depending on what end you are coming from. if you pitch it up, have someone near the tennis courts...

Yeah I have heard a few of the Morialta boys may be on the search for a new club, a lot do do with that spaz Noll you guys have there, it's a shame too coz apart ftrom him the Morialta boys are generally pretty good guys form memory. anyway, I know we are always looking for players if anyone is interested

And Pidge, don't be shy little boy tell us who you don't rate!!!

I remember your captain telling us at the start of the year that you guys (after x-mas) would have the best side in the comp. How did that pan out champ?

I dont rate Morialta.

We did have arguably the best side in the comp after christmas. The batsmen just couldnt give the bowlers a decent target to defend. Isnt that right Auto, BB

Dont know what your talking about, im an automaticwicky

[One Ball Bandit]

Matty Beam Boy I will give you a few tips from a friend to a friend.If you get to bowl to Baldo ever again which is highly unlikely i noticed he liked the pace coming on to the bat so try a few slower balls and throw in the odd bouncer.I learn't it the hard way not to pitch anything up to him after he deposited me over the fence for a few big sixes and after that i tried a few slower balls and bouncers and the end result was he didnt have any clue how to play them because as they say in the cricket language he is just a "dirty slapper"(a good one though)

Im with Phantom,There is a superstar in Div 5 comp and his name is Matt.If you want to know just how good he is just send him a message and believe me he will tell you

PS. Ask him how he went at the centre bounces against the 200cm Modbury Ruckman that was built like the Incredible Hulk in the C grade hahahaha.

haha yeh should have kicked him in the balls that would have shortened him up a bit lol should get tyson in the rucks as short as he is he was belting the ruckman i have seen him come up against, or that bedgebad character he may look like he cant jump coz he is a bit over weight but aaaaaahhh who am i kidding he cant jump lol

[Phantom Gossiper]

would afl count? i know a team in the association has one of them lol

Oh yeah i forgot Troy Chaplin from the Power plays for Western XI knights. Not a bad bowler too

You make me laugh so much pidge are you going to back up anything you say with some sort of truth of meaning or a little bit of anyting?

Lets see, can i spell it out for you! In both games Morialta played against Fitzoy, Morilata batted first and made a small total for Fitzroy to chase! And then in both games Morialta proceeded to bowl Fitzroy out for a lesser total, therefore winning th game!!!!!!! And if i can remember correctly, you were batting at 10 or 11 and had the chance to make 10 or so runs to win the game for your side and what happened? i got you out on both occasions to win the game for MORIALTA! Havnt you learnt how to even hold a bat? as i said before, how do you not rate a side you cant even beat?

Do you know why you would say arguably the best team after christmas? because everyone would argue that fact, hence you didnt even make the finals!

I must agrree with this stranger that results speak for themselves I mean its like saying that you dont rate buddy franklin

How's this for a scoreboard

[Ecky]

[Ecky]

I think Adelaide Lutheran never should have gone down to Div 2 this season and they will go alright in Div 1, the last finals spot this year came down to results on the last game of the year, i think an 8 team Div 1 is very capable however i do wonder about the 8th team.... I just think that Div 1 is the pinnacle and should be as hottly contested as possible

Looking at our situation before the start of last season, and even right up until Christmas, we were really struggling to field a competitive team in Div 2. We only just made the Div 2 finals - we needed to win our last minor round game to sneak in. But we were lucky to attract a really strong bunch of recruits, many of whom only started playing later in the season, so by the end of the season we clearly had the strongest team in Div 2.

So as our team stands now, I believe we would be competitive in Div 1 next year, but speaking to the boys, they wouldn't be fussed if we stayed in Div 2 either.

On the 8-team issue, I am surprised why there appears to be so much support for this on the forum

There are two main reasons why I would be very reluctant to vote in favour of this:

8 team divisions inevitably mean a greater difference in ability between the best and worst teams, creating more one-sided games.

8 team divisions means that some teams only get to play other teams once a season (assuming we stick with 12 rounds or less). If that one game gets washed/heated out, you may not play another team at all! It is good for the competition if we can build rivalries between teams, but this is much more difficult to do when you are basically playing a different team every game.

As an example, Pidge may decide to stay in our association because he may want another chance to bowl to (or sledge ) some of his arch-rivals from another team, but there is a much greater chance that he may not even get to bowl to that team at all if we go to 8-team divisions.

Pidge won't get a bowl simply coz he's crap and only picks up wickets coz people try to smash him out the ground. Just ask Plucca from our team, took 24 i think this year, it's true, sh*t gets wickets!!!! Like that Plucs? HAHAHAHA

Ecky, this year as you would know each team played some teams twice this year and others three times. So if you were lucky enough to play a bottom-ish side three times................. So thats probably not the ideal system either. Just out of interest how many cricket weekends do we have a year?
Definetely agree we shouldnt go 8 teams if the standard cant remain.

Congrats on the win Ecky! just wondering why Blight wasnt keeping though??

We had a lot of injuries and had big unavailability problems this year. No excuses we didnt make the finals. However we missed the finals by 0.2 points due to a 3 point deduction. After Christmas we beat Paralowie, Rose PArk, The eventual premiers Para Vista and didnt get to play you guys because of heat (which prob cost us in the end). We only lost to Nek in the last game. So our form wasnt too bad, arguably better than Morialta's. We did put some average sides on the park this year for various reasons, and our bowling attack was like the walking wounded at times. However, you only have to make finals (as weve proven over the last couple of years) to give yourself a chance and we were desperately close to doing that. Bring on next year!

Why then did your captain against us in the last game of the regular season when we went in to bat again bowl about 6 or 7 different bowlers in a 15 over session?? if you had taken a wicket or two then you would have made it through..... poor captaining by not evaluating your teams position?
