Heard Sauce might be going to Warragul.


Never heard anything about Chandler, and know for a fact he does not want to coach cricket, as he is looking at coaching footy somewhere next year.

Re: Gippsland Cricket Thread Part 2
Over my dead body would we have sung the song in public and in those circumstances. You sing the song in the changerooms, like we have done after all the premierships the club has been involved in. That's not saying everyone has to go about it in that way, just how we have gone about it over the years. Respect for the opposition, celebrate behind close doors with the inner sanctrum.



Unfortunately, I can't quote it, as it is a discussion which is in a closed thread, however, I was watching the news earlier in the week, and I saw someone who was wearing a Porkchopwayne face mask (or, who may have been Porkchopwayne) singing the club song on the ground after winning a grand final!!

Now, I was not involved in last season's cricket grand final, as my team didn't make it, however, I say, to the victor goes the spoils, well done to Maffra, and enjoy the win by singing whatever you want, wherever you want. In the words of Robbie Williams, Sing when you winning.

Found this hard to believe as also heard that Nilma Footballer Michael Mooney (from Morwell CC) is heading to Warragul, which i would assume be linked to Chandler? Which obviously contradicts what i first said about Longwarry.

Anyone else shed any light on this?

I believe that Stuart was more saying that the circumstances didnt warrant the singing of the song, unfortunately football is alot more different than cricket in its culture and the intensity of the contest and outlandish actions etc are accepted more in football. Alot of people have taken more offence to what Maffra did than what Heyfield did.

And i think you would find alot of clubs sing there song on the ground.

It seems to me that you are right and that he has said something, then actioned what he was against.

I am not in any way saying that Stuart did anything wrong, I am saying that what he said on here was wrong.

I assume by circumstances, you are referring to the fact that the game was tied. Unfortunately, the circumstances are irrelevant, Maffra win the flag, what got them there is insignificant. Anyone who is up with the rules would have realised that the side finishing on top of the ladder wins the premiership in the event of a tie, so, in reality, Maffra were actually chasing the same score as what College made, not 1 run more than them, so, they did win the premiership.

When the game is completed is when the emotion of the achievement is at it's most intense. The singing of a song is the biggest celebration of an achievement. Just because most cricket clubs don't have a club song doesn't mean that Maffra are wrong to have one. I think it is great, it really encourages togetherness and celebration of a team achievement. Cricket is such an individiual sport in so many ways, to encourage a team celebration is a great thing.

The options at the grand final were, for Maffra to excuse themselves immediately after the game, and adjourn to the Bundy changerooms (which don't actually exist), sing the song a couple of times, hug each other, have a quick stubby and then come back out on to the ground where everyone has sat and waited for the presentation, or they could just sing the song like they did, then when the song finishes be apart of the presentations and then everyone moves on.

Just because something isn't done by everyone doesn't mean that it is not right. In 10 years time, if everyone in the league has adopted a club song and all sing it after winning, everyone will be saying, gee, well done Maffra for bringing that in. If not, so be it, but, I say, good on Maffra for having the courage to be openly proud of what they achieved last season.
 
As I have said before cricket is viewed totally different to football and you are right that it may come into action (singing the song) over the next couple of years, i agree more spirit needs to be incorporated into cricket.

Unfortunately this has not happened yet and most people that were at the ground probably saw it in the wrong light. Because it is not the "norm".

But I still stand by the fact that winning a cricket grand final is totally different to winning a football grand final in its intensity, emotion and hard work involvement from all players....

I am with Nuggett on this one. no right or wrong BUT..........

Not one person would have thought on Saturday Heyfield were gloating or bigheading or carrying on.
Alot of people thought that with Maffra last year.

Emotion can go along way to deciding the outcome of a celebration and if they had won the game by 1 run in a backs to the wall win, fair enough.
but to tie and sing the song in a premeditated way is a sign of disrespect to the game. IMO

But well done to Maffra they won the flag and have there name engraved for all to see in years to come and if i was at maffra and that happened i would be saying stuff you all - WE DRANK WINNERS PISS!!!!
 
Yes i was at the ground watching that day and that is how i viewed it.

That is only my opinion and players within the group probably didnt mean for it to come across this way.

I will say it again if i was a player in that team i would have not sung the song in those circumstances.
 
well im abit late on it but, i assume nugget was embarressed by his beloved roos for singin the song.and maymo ur dead rite bout knowing the rules,i was out in the middle wen we needed 2 to win.and i sed to milo we only need one run and we've won it.so thats y wen it was decided it was a tie we were excited.
 
practice match tomorrow Vs west new port. apparently they go ok. few blokes get big dollars to play, any way through a series of unfortunete events we only have 1 a grade player available.

we'll be bowled out for 15 i tipping.

A few notable ins look likely in the SMCA, one is Andrew Perrin to Maffra, was told they had a quick and that his name was Taylor apparently was a bank manager but i think the person telling me had wires crossed. Perrin took 5 wickets against SMCA in the GCL final and has played premier cricket firsts, young player who bowls real sharp skidding out swingers. Dont know how effective he will be bowling on the concrete at maffra. I suppose time will tell.

The other is Brenton Martin who looks like finally playing a full year of first eleven cricket with College, if he can replicate his B grade form and talent will be a very good and important player for College. The other "rumour" getting around is that the big "T Ron" will be playing for College, will give plenty of enthusiam and drive, hopefully he can have a good year with the willow as 'Stu the Roo' will be hoping his top three or four have sound years to ensure College stay at the top.

My Top Four: (after home and away season) Could be in any order but these are my thoughts Maffra, Stratford, College, Bundalaguah - Rosedale Kilmany, Boisdale Briagolong, Sale and Wurruk.

Grand Finalists: Maffra and Stratford
Winner: Stratford (high hopes for my boys)

Batting: Adrian Burgiel
Bowling: Jie Van Berkel and Stuart Anderson

Player of Year: Nathan King

Team of the Year
A.Burgiel
I.Wrigglesworth
N.King
C.Aurisch
T.Millar(I hope so), M.Foster, G.Semmens.
S.Anderson
N.Massey
M.Davis
J.Van Berkel
S.Williams
B.Durrant

scott taylor claimed 2 wickets in his first ever over of cricket. their captain who played under 15s and 17s for victoria and their opening bat (who Mick Kinderman dropped off my bowling 2nd ball of the match) who opened the batting for carlton last year

Perrin will be real good for them. Will get people hopping around.

Never seen a tie for bowling averages before so i will choose the man who is there abouts every year - Stuart Anderson
Batting no brainer - Adrian Burgiel
Cricket of the year - 4 time winner - Stuart Anderson
Team of the year

Stuart Anderson
Ian Wriggelsworth
Adrain Burgiel
Nathan King
Dylan Bolton
Matt Foster
Steve Parry
Steve Noble
Andrew Perrin
Jie Van Berkle
Brett Lanigan - i think he will bat.
Keeper - Sam Anstee - with good quicks and a good spinner Nuggett should make it and if he doesn't in my opinion it is because he has missed to many. A big year for the boy!

Sorry to-
Chris Aurisch
Mark Nicholls
Steve Noble
Anthony Scott
Nathan Massey
 
Sorry should have said or instead of and.

My only query on Jie will be his average, hopefully he can take the most wickets, the advantage he has (over other spinners) is that he bowls a slider thus enabling him to get players out lbw and bowled. Stuart is always thereabouts if he takes enough wickets he will win because he goes for no runs...

Will be ecsatic if I make it as team of the year keeper. Form has been good so far..
 
Marto is an interesting one, bucket loads of talent but hasn't played many smca 1ats games. great eye and very clean hitter , belts anything full through the V. But the better teams in b grade had success against him bowling back of a length. Bobjack got him a couple of times with the short stuff.

Would be interesting to see how his agressive power hitting goes in the ones. Would be suprised to see him hit big scores but will easily make 25 to 40 a game with ease which around here is not bad.

Will add a lot with the ball. Cuts it swings it, has pace and good variation. Will be very dangerous paired up with stu and if he plays the whole season fit would be a smokey for most wickets
 
If he makes 25 to 40 every game he makes 420 runs for the year!!!

That would be a top class effort.

I have seen him bowl a couple of times not sure if he bowls fast....would have said medium.
 
When he wants to he can bowl with good heat. Seen plenty of times he bowls within himself but in important stages etc he steps it up another gear.

Wouldn't suprise me if he made 400 for the year but perhaps 300 might be around the mark? If he bats at 5,6,7 for college I'd have thought he could make 25 plus more often than not. Generally gets the first 20 to 30 runs quickly then either gets out or has gone on to some good scores at a very fast rate. Obviously q different standard between ones and twos cricket but he has the attributes to do well. That's why I'm interested to see how he goes in the firsts against good bowling attacks like Stratford and bundy.
