i will always bag your social club as well as any players that i know. as some of them i have coached before so they now what i am like if they find what i'm saying offencive then they need to stop hiding behind mummys skirt and toughen up.so i don't really care how it sits with and who it doesn't.
at least i'm willing to have my name up there for everyone to see instead of hiding behind a anon post.
the mud they that was created by the person who got the club going will never go away and will always be thrown at your social club anytime it is mentioned espeicially on here so either get used to it or fold the club it's simple either way it's win win for everyone

all i can say is keep giving us fuel the more u bag us the more we wanna get better and if ur precious member clubs do improve we may see one of U fold and what a shame that will be

Booga - Your ranting on and on about this subject coupled with the eloquent way you try and get your message across is making you look immature and bitter.

If these guys are as bad as you say they are how about just ignoring them rather than continually posting negative and derogatory comments on their club and players.

Granted I know zero about who the Magic are, how they formed, who poached who etc etc (so my comments are purely from an outsider looking in at the stuff posted on HoopsSA) but surely if we have a club who have passionate people running it in such a way that is is affordable, and as a result we have kids happily playing basketball isn't that the real issue. The more kids that play the better the sport gets and in turn the stronger that ALL clubs will become!

woodville so great that no would ever want to leave on thier own free will we wonder around just poaching player every thursday friday and saturday coz how can we compete with the wonderful vibe of a club like woodville and thier ur not in div one ur not worth worrying about mentality

get a grip people arent happy and wanna try somewhere new
maybe if u took a look and ur clubs maybe there wouldnt be teams like magic, torrens and udbc

all we wanna do is provied players of all ages a place to play ball thats affordable and fun and it working for us and thats what ur scared of

whats gonna happen when the titans enter next summer

Lets hope the mythical "Titans" are a little more articulate and have a modicum of good sportsmanship than some of the other posters on here

once again only grammer, spelling and user names as come backs pathetic

Spadge,

The way you obviously cant even be bothered checking what you type prior to hitting the post button is really not helping your argument! Noone really cares about a typo here or there or some grammar mistakes but your last post was almost unreadable!

Why can't we just love each other ... hang on ... now Tim Hardaway hates me.

Geez people get a life

so its ok for u guys to name clubs constantly but as soon as ur club is mentioned ur sook and cry and that matter i'll say again happened in 2001 at woodville and people knew about it and did nothing we formed in 2005
it just happened to come out while this person was at ur club but u guys make dam sure no knows it acctually happened while the person was a woodville coach so get ur facts straight.
our club took the appropriate step to rectify the situation unlike woodville

"The funny thing is, most people from most clubs - bar Woodville - don't really care"

"Now nearly everyone I know despises Magic"


so which is it

our club has a great fun family style environment and our members are proud of our club

ive been around basketball a long time and my dad was the president of a member club and nothing has changed in 15 years

#10503 and Spadge - I believe that you have started this thread to add fuel to the fire from the other post that was locked - you couldn't let well enough alone - If you had not started this thread the Magic post would have died a lonely death but for some reason you want to keept "stirring the pot" or is it "post" I am absolutely mortified that posters on here keep referring to a very personal matter that involves young b/ballers in our sporting comunity - it is no-ones business but their's and their families and it does not help when posters keep bringing this subject matter up - stop posting about your Club and matters which are highly personal and get on with coaching and training the kids at your Club and run your club in a manner that does not bring it into disrepute

re: Western Magic (#120919)
Totally agree with you anon. Spadge, thinks it's time for you to stop embarrasing your club, one of which i am also part of, and Im embarrassed to read your posts. If you want magic to be treated in a professional manner, then start behaving like one. Show some respect for yourself and your club. You are not doing the club any favours by posting the crap you do.

yeah ur apart of the club

all bar one of our junior teams are in finals and we have nominated for the higher divisions so what more do u want from us


ur just upset that someone from magic is not easily pushed and comes back with fact u never new about the more u call us a social club the sweeter it will be when we eventually get our div 1 teams and as for carnivals all of our teams go in the best divs available

Spadge - give it up!

SPADGE - U NAUGHTY NAUGHTY CHILD - WHY AREN'T YOU AT SCHOOL TODAY - I SHALL TELL YOUR PARENTS AND RING THE AUTHORITIES!

booga, I hope you are a better coach than you are at spelling and english.

Anyone agreeing with Spadge has been Anonymous - he/she is just having a converstaion with themselves about how great Magic are.

Obviously an underager no one goes around saying things like ... "ur just upset coz ..."

nah nah nah nah nah ... "my dad is better than your dad"

Spadge,

The problems with Magic is numerous.

1/ They agreed to NOT recruit players from other district clubs as a part of there entry criteria, and they always had the intension of using their social players from district clubs to make up their teams. These players would not have left their original clubs if Magic had not been allowed into the competition. Hence, rater than improving the level of basketball in this state. They have only decreased it.

2/ There behaviour, parents players and coaches is not acceptable. As shown by your comments on this forum.

3/ The develoment of players is not as good as it needs to be. And they have no planned development principles.

4/ They are unable to offer a continuous program for players to devlop through.

5/ They have cheated in past competitions. What would lead us to believe that they are going to follow all the rules of the current competitions.

Do you need more???

I have been reading all the posts regarding Magic, especially Spadge who seems passionate about his club.
You mentioned in an earlier thread that most magic coaches have achieved level 1, my question to you is:
HOW MANY COACHES HAVE COACHES PASSES, THEREFORE FULFILLED BASKETBALLSA COACHES REQUIREMENTS?

Spadge, did you go and play for Magic because they offered you spadge?

You cannot blame BSA for Magic not playing Div 1 or 2. To have that right, then they would have to have the same financial expectations to basketball that member clubs have. Higher divisions mean higher nomination fees, greater expenses. Also, to have the right of a member club you would also need senior mens and womens teams in Div 1 and Div 2, which again means they would be expected to compete in ABA which in itself is a financial burden on clubs now.
If this was to happen, fees would certainly not be cheap anymore.
So you decide, lower fees, lower divisions; higher fees, higher divisions.
To compete at elite level, you can't have it both ways.

hey spadge,fat cat went to bed hours ago so its way past your bedtime

glen if your the one that left centrals for south then i know that i'm a better coach then you.

spadge keep on posting you are loved by all true magic fans and players.

Anonymous, 23/02/07


thanks guys

there is a small group of narrow minded people that you shouldn't let push you around and twist the truth about our club

we're here to stay and we're only getting better so deal with it and move on

ps good luck in the finals everybody

Spadge, I think you misunderstood my question.
I did not want to know if the coaches have passed their level 1, because there are no tests, but how many of your coaches have Coaches passes issued by BSA. This means that they are:
fully registered, completed the 'Play by the Rules', had police checks, paid registration fee etc?

The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da

"Spadge, posting as an anon patting yourself on the back, really does not count as support. "

I know all the anon postings are confusing....people hiding behind their sniping ... but post #121098 was the same anon as post #120996 not me.. think you can keep up now anon #121100

i can find out for u if u like

Spadge, by finding out how many of your coaches do have passes and letting us know will help the credibility of the Club.

Spadge - please make sure you go back to school on Monday and learn your grammar and how to spell!

that wasnt me that was a parent from our club who's son plays and was poached by west

how about spadge ??
do you play social at st clair maybe been to torrens valley ??

well then glen ooh aah rib cracker
someone reads the st clair xmas carni programs

re: Western Magic (#121273)
I would doubt you would have played any basketball of note. By the way I see the mighty under 20 men's team did not make the Grand Final. I guess there would be at least ten or so grand final victories. Fill us in as we are all dying to know how they went on their quest to div 1 in all grades.


they lost by 1 point to a very god f/ville team

most of our teams went up a division and now we have 2 teams in div 2 and 3 or 4 in div 3 so slowly but surely we're getting there

Spadge,
I'm still waiting on your answer regarding the Coaches Passes?

nd u will have to wait till i speak to the person who knows sorry

nd u will have to wait till i speak to the person who knows sorry

hey spadge i know who you are you even have colour dyes in your hair
you are very magic bias - come on - admit it - most of this post was to stir the pot

Spadge why do you try to make the club look better than it is.Under 20 div 2 boys did not even make the grand final. Bending the truth as per usual.

sorry ur right i forgot to put that that was a semi

glen ooh aah rib cracker, 26/02/07


i wouldnt say im any more bias than any one else here yes i speak highly of western because i belive it is a great environment at the club and its really family orientated and majority of the people get along really well ive played at west, adeladie giant b4 they merged and torrens and apart from the early days at the giants i havent felt that same family club feeling

and none of this is to stir the pot i just dont like the way people bad mouth our club anyone who comes to western feels the same sure we've had problems with no coach for the 18's and them and the 20's not training properly but we're a new club and we're ironing out these problems and as for the situation people keep bringing up it happened at another club the person just happened to get charged whilst at our club which we have delt with and done what needs to be done i just dont think people should lable our members such things without knowing the full story we were just as shocked as anyone else

and i dunno who you r but u know me obvioulsy even tho most people would know who i am

Spadge - why didnt your U14Boys div 5 team nominate for Division 4 after owning the summer competition except for Sturt being your only real competition - can this be looked at now or is it too late for your team to be put into Div 4

There is something you have incorrect Spadge, and it is time that you get corrected.
Regarding the 'situation' that people keep bringing up.
Yes, this person was a coach at Woodville at the time, but this person coached U20 Women. AT NO TIME DID THIS PERSON EVER COACH THE BOYS CONCERNED WHILE AT WOODVILLE. She was however, coaching these boys at the time for Magic when they were competing at St. Clair PRIOR TO Magic entering the District Competition. So all alleged incidents occured in her capacity as a Magic Coach.

bout time some one got it right even the magic people get their social club history wrong!

And that's enough for yet another Western Magic thread. Zzz.
