A chap who played a large part in my (limited) cricket career passing away last week after a short illness.

Early 1990's he took on a group of pretty rough young lads, Friday nights and Saturdays were one and the same to most of us, with the aim of making us the next generation of leaders.
Several of that young team went on to captain sides, captain premiership sides and continue the club culture that the next generation learnt from us and it carries on into today.

Great batsman, excellent, yet easily angered captain ( :lol: ) and a ripping fellow.

RIP Dave.

Not a biggie on the scale of world crises but sad in a small way

Yes there are endless benefits to the move but it's sad that's what a lot of sports have come to if you want to be competitive

Have a lot of family memories at the ground all the way back to my great grandfather

What a shitty windy day.

Went out to freeling today to help the old man collect some firewood. He lives in the town but was going to clean up a mates paddock that had a bunch of trees burnt by the bushfires.

He had cut a lot of it up into big bits about a month ago and we were going to pick it up with the loader.

In that time the wood laying on the ground was half buried by sand and dust.

Today it was that windy that we couldn't see because of all of the dust.

We were out there for an hour before we bailed. My eyes and ears are full of dust and we could hardly see the house a few hundred metres away.

Just made me think of all the guys out there that lost their houses and then months later still have to deal with stuff like that. I was over it in half an hour, imagine living out there and looking at Mars out your front window. And dust in the house daily.

Hope you get a good drop of rain out that way from this system to keep the dust down.

The Adam Goodes meme on facebook that is getting around.

Now im one of Adam Goodes biggest critics and don't believe the whole saga was race based but the meme that is getting around is an absolute disgrace and should be pulled down immediately!!!

I agree. There is a line and somebody has crossed it.

Very average. Oh well, if they found and charged the guy who had a crack at Nova, surely the instigators here can also be found if Goodesy wishes to take action

If it wasn't racist or offensive, why are we upset about it now?

Because this time it's obviously meant to be racist.

I think most people would like to give a young girl the benefit of the doubt about saying something she didn't know could be considered racist.

But thats a story for 2015.
