looking at peoples 'forecasted future talent' threads and posts we seem to be developing batsmen who want to bowl and bowlers who want to bat and a lot of players with one or two of the following inabilities to 1. play spin, 2. build an innings. More than a few under 30's are bitsa, We could...

I think West Indies are that rubbish. We have a solid stock of good bowlers and a few decent batsmen. Nothing like the the power we had a decade ago.

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/coalition-exposed-on-whistleblower-20130209-2e594.html Baillieu is upset his government has been exposed as liars and dishonest negotiators...who knew? WHO KNEW? lol. Sadly state Vic labor are a hopeless case, but baillieu's incompetent bunch of right wing...

Malthouse has 3 premierships from 8 grand finals (2 flags from 3 attempts for WCE and 1 flag from 5 attempts with Collingwood) and about 40 years of coaching. recently retired, been hinting at coaching again. Considered a fine tactician, also considered will do anything for a win. His WCE side...

500 goals, average of 2 goals per game over 240 odd games. One of the best consistent small forwards of all time. He just keeps kicking those impossible goals. Probably only phil matera and Jeff Farmer could be considered as better consistent small forwards over the past decade or so.

against the bangers...well done, you showed em by spanking the bangers, there can be no doubters you are the greatest ever...if only all your matches were against hte bangers and zimmers some of those claiming you were better than bradman might have a ...oh forget it LOL.

http://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/contract-cuts-a-bouncer-for-state-teams-20120310-1urig.html Good news IMO. It would seem embarrassing that so many undeserving players got dosh from CA. Massive Cam White fan over the past decade but he doesn't deserve the national contract...

2 years ago he was the next best thing. last year he was on the cusp of cementing a spot in the Australian batting order. In a team crying out for a some stability with many places available and probably at least 2 more spots coming open in the next season or two, he fell over in a heap at...

that is all. Just observing that Siddle has gone from honest trundler to demon fast bowler' Hilfenhaus has gone from 'we have to play him because there is no one else' to 'how can he NOT play'. Pattinson seems to be about 5 years ahead of schedule. starc and of course ranga junior, Cummins...

Please let this NOT be about which state is better or worse plenty of threads on that over the years, as the bans will be slapped out I guess, but why is it a suspendable offense? I would think the years on this forum, state rivalry in the AFL forum and cricket forum has added to the fun of...

Cricket Australia or Cricket Victoria...:confused:

Quiney : average career until last season, this season is even better, career average of 35 belies what he's achieved this year. Potential finally achieved? a test call up? for me, he's been impressive, but why wait till your 30 to turn it up? maybe too late for him, because I'd want a bit more...

Can't get into saintsational, the refresh password isn't going to my hotmail addy. Any advise from any mods loitering around? Cheers Dan

I've been on here defending Siddle as a good ordinary bowler, a workhorse that picks up 20 overs plus a day. The draughthorse of the side, the guy who bowls the stock balls, and gets 2 wickets an innings. I argued that he was needed to protect they younger bowlers and would only ever be that. I...

I think for a while Australia was at Qtr to 12, where midnight is the end. The selectors were riding on the work done in the late 80s rebuilding Australian cricket after defections, rebel tours and retirements of some greats. For those who remember that era, they shuffled the deck chairs over...

http://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/india-hot-and-bothered-20120102-1pid3.html They had to wait 15 minutes to see a national leader of 1 trillion dollar economy.. FIFTEEN MINUTES!!! poor bastards. OMG I'd be putting in a complaint to the UN about our cruelty to indians. Their media...

As someone who bags NSW, and test selection of NSW players all the time, what I don't understand is why the best performing spinner in the country can't get a game with the test side? I firmly argue selection on merit over potential and marketability (which is why I support Khawaja and...

bull Go back and heaps of players have criticised CA, lehmann, waugh, hodge, Warne, haurtiz, kreja, casson just to name a few. What katich has said is not that much different from what has been said or done before. I think its long past time the ivory edifice of CA is torn down.

http://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/victorian-tyro-fires-warning-shot-20111021-1mchz.html I certainly don't expect him the test side, just pointing out the habit of elevating players into the test side on very little FC form, and sometimes on NO FC form on 'potential'.... Big difference...

199 games without a single brownlow vote :thumbsu: Truly a legend!

For about a decade MM was the heart, the soul, the brains and the face of WCE, more so than even club legend and premiership coach worsfold. Now (not playing this for jokes) he was famous for crying after back to back grand final losses, now his tears of joy for making the grand final (lets...

is absolutely terribad, its stupendous even by their bad standards.

http://cricket.com.au/profile-display/Stephen-OKeefe/174 his numbers stack up well, seen him bat and bowl, seems like the real deal, is he a jerk off field? Why are guys with 1/2 his batting average and twice his bowling average getting a gig ahead of him? Is he some massively annoying...

14 years, hardly enough. Meanwhile he spent 13 years going through the trial and appeal with his funding flowing from the catholic church and the christian brothers. Apparently he has received no formal punishment from the internal church mechanisms and is a christian brother to do this day...

Essendon and North IMO. both are light on talent, essendon hammered with injuries, but for 2 1/2 quarters essendon took it up to collingwood before they got blown away, now they are challenging sydney, a team thats very hard to beat on their home ground. North, well they shouldn't be in...

4 weeks Im thinking?

His technique looked rock solid in the games I've seen him play. He's like a wall. Hughes looked rubbish and lucky in comparison, for all that he may have a good eye.

Now reading the media there are a hundred different spellings of Colonel Gaddafi, they cant' even get his first letter right, it's been published as Q, K and G in recent documents. The game I propose is finding a new spelling of Gaddafi, but you have to have a reference. I mean I can rip out...

Surely with their stupid massive contracts to marquee players and NRL players some of the homesick fringe talent should be looked at for raiding by VIC clubs? I'd love it if the saints could snare a home sick quality player or two under the noses of the GWS. and wouldn't that piss off vlad...
