The video in the article seems to show a couple of those "well, technically it might be kind of a dunk" lay-ups.

Agreed.

But has anyone here seen the girl play? I assume she's got skills to go with that height, leap and genes?

I remember when Trish Fallon was going to be the first Aussie woman to dunk, plyometrics and weights galore but still couldn't get up there.

So did I read correctly that it is Kurt Tippett's sister?

Thats very impressive!

Yes SVD.

191cms at 15? I hope her knees hold up!

What club is she playing at (and for that matter, where did Kurt play)?

Yes SVD.

I was gonna roll into wayville around half seven, but after seeing that - i'll probably try to get there closer to six. $5 a ticket - to see quality basketball, i'm there!

Just out of curiosity, how much is a spectator fee for our junior district games these days?

Gretel can flat out play.

From QLD. She is definietly headeed for AIS - and is an absolute gun.

a 15 year opld playing for Australian u19 team. Yeh, I'm pretty sure she can play a bit!

she a freak !!!

Look at her stats from U16 Natinals.

AVE 21pts, 15.6, rebs, 2.3 ast, 4.2 blks.

As well as having:

25pts, 24 rebs, 1 ast, 6 blks against SAC.

and

27pts, 23rebs, 4 ast, 9 blks against SAM.

Fair sure she is Dean's new favorite at the AIS. I mean, she's not there yet but word is he thinks she's the best prospect to date...

She is very,very good and a nice person to go with it.
Not easily the best player at Qld U/16's I can tell you.Nadeen Payne(T'ville)is equally as talented.

Peter Maravich: $4.50 - I went to see a couple of my mates play tonight at the Port Adelaide "Stadium".

She isn't the best prospect since LJ...
Have you not heard of one 6ft9 basketball BEAST already at the institute? Liz cambage? SHE is going to carry australia's hopes in the future.

Were gonna end up with a shorter guys team with all the girls comming through

She is the best thing since Lauren. The reason why is her athletic ability which Liz doesn't have. Her stats at Nationals were more impressive when you take into note she only played 2 minutes in one game. Has all the tools already.

Um Paul not sure if you noticed that Liz is 6'8" not 6'3" slight difference there and you clearly haven't seen liz play if you think she has no athletic ability.

WOULD MAKE FAR MORE AT MODELLING,,,,,,,

On a side note, did the parents have a Sound of Music obsession?? She was named Gretel and the brother is named Kurt. Are there any other brothers or sisters in the family?

much more poised than cambage who has a big ego and big sook with soft attitude. Needs toughening up and putting on some weight but good prospect. Cambage better watch out.

What position does Gretel play is she a 5 like Liz or a 4/5?? Liz certainly doesn't have the same atheletic ability as Gretel but she does have a height and size advantage, but she looks really lazy and soft. Gretel seems more energetic but I haven't seen much of either of them to comment too much. Saw the games on the weekend and Liz certainly doesn't look like a total standout even considering how huge she is. None of the bigs looked great.

I will take a lazy soft 19 points and 10 rebounds in 14 minutes anyday! I dont know what you were watching but I saw a team that hasn't played a lot together and no amount of training gives you match practice! They will all be fine Gretel is a great kid and so is Liz but there isnt a comparison and they dont play the same spot in the age group so why not leave them alone and let them get on with it.

As far as I could see she did play same position but is more versatile. aLSO STARTED IN FRONT OF CAMBAGE ON 2 OCCASIONS IN HER SPOT.

Hey Robin you are so right you think she will play the 5 often? guess they must have gotten the stats mixed up cause from what I saw Cambage had the numbers so give it up and let them play? Go hate on Cambage somewhere else cause anyone who knows anything about bball thinks that she is doing just fine and Gretel is a gun. We can have more then one kid that can play surely? I think that it is brilliant that she can dunk just like its great that cunningham can dunk and its great for the game and adds to the spectacle so be happy and support them cause they need it they are only kids!

AIS may take one next year, thats all!

Gret is my niece and yes her height is very freakish for a 15yr old, just like brotherrs Kurt (crows) and Joel (Lions). It comes from there grandfather Pa Mick (Moy) who was a very tall lean man who was also quiet sporty. We adored him!!
Auntie Berna

I have seen her play and she can dunk for sure bow that she is 16

i love gretel

gretel is the best, i'm in economics with her right now and we are bored so i'm writing this comment. anyways gretel is the next lauren jackson and she's gonna be famous p.s. she loves Jackson A
