Overall responsibility for the selection of teams rests with the Selection Committee consisting of three members. These are appointed by the Club for the specific purpose of selecting competitive teams to represent the Club in all grades each week. The Selection Committee for the coming season is:

Bob Hall (Chairman)
Email: jurob@grapevine.net.au
Phone: 0408 256 693

Rowan Thompson
Email: Rowan.Thompson@dbcde.gov.au
Phone: 0418 969 104

Denis Axelby

Phone: 0407 255 715

Team selection is a difficult task that can be made more challenging by poor communication between players and the Selection Committee regarding availability. In this regard, it is essential that you advise the selectors if you are unavailability for any reason as soon as possible but no later than the Tuesday prior to the commencement of the game.

While team selection will primarily be based on form the selectors will also take into account the following:

* Financial status
* Balance of the team
* Status of a younger player who may have potential to develop greater skills by playing in a higher grade than form warrants.
* Attendance at and participation in training sessions.
* Commitment to the team, such as attending matches on time.

As part of their deliberations the Selection Committee will also consult with the Club Coach and team Captains as necessary but the final decision will rest with the Committee.

Team selections will be announced at training on Thursdays and posted on the club’s website www.ncgcc.org.au on Friday afternoon. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are aware of what team you have been selected in and what ground and time you are playing. If you do not have access to the Internet or if you become unavailable after teams have been selected you must contact the Chairman of selectors in the first instance or your team captain as soon as possible.

Failure to observe these requirements creates unnecessary problems for the selectors and team captains and may have an adverse impact on your selection for future games.

It is important to note that if you have any issues in relation to where you have been selected to play or with the selection process generally please raise them with the Chairman of Selectors.
