Jack,

Have you taken into account No Foley, Duke or Williams for Norwood in the womens?

And top spot is decided by head to head, or 3 way splits, not percentage!

late mail.... Lions no chance

Good intel on Molly if true, but Westies don't list him on their teamlists so might have to check it's not another team. The footy thing didn't work out for JD, but could for Molly.

I see #49 for Eagles is a strapping young lad who is not unfamiliar to many basketball fans

Seeing as there was no ABl last week, Maybe he decided to play a game of football

He wouldnt be the only person in this country to fill in for footy club when basketball takes a weekend off

Actually LOL, positions are decided by % during the season, and head to head at the completion of the season. So at this stage, % will decide top spot.

Thanks Oberon, that was my understanding too

At Port Misery, yes ,the audience saw a mighty performance.The Hoop ring was HUGE.Glad I was there moment.It could force all bets off for the Woolacott.But credit due Lions Men pushed and were credible.Just it was 5 vs 1?
The Bearcats Women had the bench 5 starting.A Hospital waiting list.There's no one left.They had to put a costume on the canteen lady,LOL.But Irene top scored with 28,Sam Woosy and Lisa got under there fingernails.Smallest team in height you will ever see win.The Lions were favourites at the start,it was that ridiculous.
Nice cosy floor rug in the Bar Upstairs now.Just needs a fireplace to complement.......

Only 4 out of 10 Stats webcasts working this week. Is that an all time low?

Woodville women beat south by 9 after being down by 14 at one stage.

Thats a lil harsh.

Check out the logjam between 5 and 9th spots, with just under half the season to play.

South women need to recruit or become the new centrals.

interesting they recruited plenty ex warriors and that appears to have failed - why not our juniors dev local talent - still we persist in non dev. need to find a big and point guard

Sturt would be very disappointed with a couple of their stars - turned a faint chance of a win into a certain loss when they couldn't control their emotions.

Anon 280052, Which South jnr's left because the senior coach would nuture them? You've made the comment now back it up with names?

Think you'll find Maddy left cause the senior coach wasnt prepared to put her above more proven senior players. Why would you put her above players like Kylie Evans, Claire Johnson and Sarah Peddle.

Brittany didnt want to put the hard yards in. You cant pick and choose what trainings you want to come to and then don't show up without telling anybody and still expect to picked in the squad.

To many jnrs coming up through want it all now without doing the hard yards and proving themselves first.

Have warriors finally unearthed a coach to take their women forward
think much credit goes to club with persisting with structure that being fruition to a program - where are knockers now that results are on the board - big win to warrior womens
much to be learnt

"south women need to find a big and a point guard" A big i agree with but claire johnson is probably one of the better point guards in the league. who do u suggest replace her, short of getting jess mahoney to leave forestville?

"Shooting - the most important skill in Basketball and still the skill that coaches spend the least time teaching correctly" - My memory of a Quote from the maker of the "Swish" shooting videos.

Interesting to see what effect defensive pressure (if any) has on shooting percentage. Lady Mavs took 24 more shots than Tigers and still lost by 27 points.

And how valuable is a good point guard who can shoot the ball, Brad Davidson's 42 points came at an amazingly high %.

I must say that I was a little disappointed with the Sturt / Norwood game.
Sturt officials did enter the court whereas Norwood officials stayed put, good control.
A great battle turned into a shame when my childs hero, Dinga, headlocks Webber until he turned purple, right in front of the kids. No tech foul or even a report to be seen.
To the players credit though, they all had a bite to eat at the end and Ng and Webber where even seen discussing the game personally, well done.
Although, one Sturt player left the stadium in tears with his father in tow, no uniform, without sociallising or staying for the supper.
Be a big boy next time TD, and don't sook please at this level.

dad b good,

Im pretty disapointed to hear what you've said about me mate.
I havent commented on this forum before and usually dont have any interest in this site and the people that post stuff on here, but my mate told me to have a look at your comment and i thought i'd have a word.

I did go into the rooms and i had a piece of pizza, but yes i was in abit of a rush as i did have to go promptly to hospital to get my eye stitched up. I wasn't crying either, unless you count bleeding from the eye crying? And as a matter of fact i was one of the players on the court not to get involved in the fight apart from trying to pull my team mates out of it. So please don't lie, and question my maturity again in a public forum. If u have any more incorrect comments or lies you want to put on the internet about me come and see me face to face and ask me for the facts first.

have a good nite buddy

Crikey! These weekly threads deteriorate pretty quickly

Don't sweat this site Tom. It is mostly a bunch of has beens or never were's that like to get on here and trash talk people with real talent and skill. Keep up your work and focus on the court and let these people say what they want about us players. It is good for entertainment only, no real facts.

Also worth mentioning that the Sturt official that entered the court was only interested in getting Ninja off the court, and was politely thanked by one of the Norwood players as he walked off.

Tom - this is the only stage where some of the more twisted supporters can spread a little spite under cover of anonymity. Most reasonable people choose not to feed into the crappy stuff but good on you for challenging the daddybomb on his nasty comments. Probably some poor kid's parent. As a relation (not parent) of one of the juniors who has been serially targeted on here, I understand the need to challenge the lies at times. Unfortunately, the negativity permeating the sport in SA begins with stuff like this, from parents or supporters who have no respect for the game or for other talented players or their clubs.

Anyone at the game on Saturday night knows that both you and Ng were on the end of some really ugly stuff that went uncalled right through the game (sorry, maybe the opposition had clean elbows not dirty ones- one in particular!). A guaranteed recipe for a major scuffle is poor umpiring associated with tight scoring.

Congrats on your selection for the Singapore camp Tom. Claiming the truth for a lie is the bad form you can expect from people who either never had it or are well past it. Your best days are still ahead of you.

Good on ya Tom for sticking up for yourself - Unfortunately some people who participate in and spectate in this sport are just plain naaasty and will take any opporunity to stick it to players that are better than or went further than their own Little Danny (or themselves)and will go to any lengths to put down, criticize kids that are superior in athleticism, skill and dedication to their own kids, and will seize any opportunity to do it. But you know what there is a thing called "karma" and to all you parents that think you have the right to criticize anyone elses kid I hope that the "fleas from a thousand camels" come and bite you on the arse.

Time to lock this one Isaac.

Tom, keep playing well, no need to respond to anon criticism.
Tom's mates, don't wind him up, better left unsaid.
Everyone else, don't get sucked in by a nasty comment, ignore it and it will go away, comment and they have suceeded.

I am sure Jack Toft is shaking his head at another hijack.

Pretty sure BSA will be handling the outcome of the game as well, reviewing tapes as we speak.

Oh, you betcha!

Do you get less time for an early Guilty plea and avoid the tribunal?

Why is it a debacle for Woodville to beat South? They are both on 4 wins and the first round was a close win to South when they still had their import.

Its been round 11,come and gone and at this point halfway through the season I want to applaud JackToft for the multiple fruitful Posts.The generated debate,insightful inputs and alarmingly spiteful attacks provide all of us a place to come exclusively to voice some comment ,good or bad on the senior competition.A forum site not available through the Daily Paper or Sports Radio Stations.I appreciate that.
I am not related to him,receiving gratuities or even having sex!!I dont know him and he could be Batman for all I know.
