well run tournament overall

They have a quality group of juniors ( won 18 girls 4 years ago) who have been around the seniors now for a while. They should win the state league this season pretty comfortably.
Eagles may be the only fly in the ointment

yes south women do have a very young and inexperienced team. They are lucky to have Vicky to teach them the ropes. She is a very good coach. It will be a very long season for them tho. Wish them luck.

Very good coaches dont loose 10 out of their 12 players during the off season.

ummmmmmmmmmmmm No, you clearly have no idea of the situation and why, so I suggest stick to something you know something about.

sturt lost alot of players in the off season too. As did a number of clubs. The only difference with south is they do not have the juniors coming through like the other clubs.

south havent had any quality juniors at the club for years now. And the seniors they had well.. Vicki has taken on a team that is far from where it needs to be in alomost every area, and in her 1st year did better than the previous coach had for several years prior. Give the girls some credit!

what happened to him??

very good coaches lose players all the time.

refs were terrible on the weekend!! especially in the womens games I watched. So nothings changed. Inconsistant as usual.

there has been something very wrong at south for a very long time.
I admire Vicky for taking on such a depleted program. I know I would not.
As for the players who left, half of them were not getting court time, and from where I was sitting, they did not deserve it. Once a number of these players said bye bye during the season, the girls actually started winning and went on to have a very successful 2nd half of the season. Claire Johnson (perth) Kylie Evans(retired) Sarah Peddle (year off) Taya Crockford and Lil Keane decided to play closer to home, and Simone Nelson, well she was always going back to southern with her father bum chums with Willie, and Tameeka Muir has been awol now for years at this club so..
Whoever is bagging out the womens coach should really get his or hers facts straight. You are either an angry parent or possibly an ex coach trying to start trouble??

what i dont get about the refs this weekend was how they were put on games and the teams they were refing they had some sort of connection to.
why would they do this? will this continue into the normal season?
because to me it was pretty damn obvious

i am sick of people having a go at south. There are plenty of other clubs that are struggling and have been for a while.
You people have no idea!!

In the 3 games I watched, the refs were horrible. No calls, then soft calls, and lots of confusing calls..

she is doing a great job. And these girls are very lucky to have her.

new team, fresh start indeed. Yes it will be a long year for them, but I believe the program will benefit from it in the years to come. This is long overdue for this club.

Anon918, I can assure you it isn't an old coach having a dig at south, well not a previous women's coach at least

More like 4 games in 30 hours

Appears changes at South after the weekend..

anon#354979,

What about that grup of Sturt juniors that south recruited a couple of year ago. Why is it that South are able to take 8 players from Sturt without issue, but Sturt can't accept 1 south player? idnt see south committee turn these kids away.

in the 5 for several years?? i think we may need to look back about 5 years for that 1. There had been absolutely no progress in a number of ways until last year. And now its time to rebuild. But as mentioned, its tough with such a poor junior program, and no real quality to choose from.

I think everyone should just worry about themselves and stop having a say at things they have no idea about.

So which referees officiated games of teams "they had some sort of connection to."??

So not unlike Souths senior mens and womens teams recruiting now then. Or like how South took about 30 players from Southern a few years back. Along with a couple of coaches. So including the Sturt kids I haven't seen south turn anyone away. And its easy to say we dont approach when you organise 1 parent who is moving to bring their friends.

so many haters on here you probaly play for west mate, a win is a win and thats all that matters both teams that ended up in gf fought hard all weekend! yes southern finished 9th and yes woodville finished 6th last season so what,and yes both teams have many new faces and have improved alot! so keep playing your social ball and keep hating cause thats what some teams thrive on..........

Tracey who?

Vicki you mean?

one, why do south deserve any stick?? People with nothing to better to do with there time. Woodville should be ashamed if they go down as this is a seasoned group and south are starting over with a whole new team of young and inexperienced players.

i think you must mean vicki??

i feel sorry for vicki as none of you people have any idea about what she had walked into coaching for this club last season. She pretty much had to coach by herself, with no support at all. And had improved on the 2 seasons before that, with missing out on finals by only 1 game. Great job I think.
its going to be a very long season for her and the girls this year, but watch out for south in the years to come.

agree with the above!!

Rumours were paul rogers for Sturt and mark Davis for south, then we hear south used don shipway for practice during the week and Sturt are going with ragoni until they find someone.

Tracy yorks phone been ringing hot for both but she didn't answer.

i guarantee Tracy Yorke was not contacted by sturt to coach.
