Creek returns this week also for Woodville

Sounds like Tigers up up SH Creek

gold jack gold too many great one liners to mention

Southern and Norwood are definitely two clubs who should be looking for new coaches next year. Southern just never seem to get any better, and Norwood, despite all the players who retired after last year, have underachieved.

Love all the BS talk from anonymous posters!! Go Tigers!!

Damn auto correct!!

Westies should have won for sure. Their import getting a foul and a TECH foul at the same time in the last 2 minutes def cost their game and put them into over time. But I'm sure they will be fighting back hard for the next few up coming games to make up for last nights disappointment.

Tigers/import shot the absolute lights out. Was ruined game though thanks to the female ref. Never seen so many non travels called for travel, yet blatant travels left to go. Not to mention the fouls she was dishing out. Apparently you can hold another player when you have hands up straight... Regardless, tigers couldn't miss and warriors just couldn't get offense going.

Next week will be a big game, shall be a good watch!

To say Norwood have underachieved is a pretty big call. To lose an entire starting front court of the quality of David Cooper, Nick Hambour and Corey Ottey as well as a handy Dan Thompson (who actually didn't play last year at all) immediately puts their backs against the wall. Add in the fact that starting guard Andrew Webber has been out for most of the season (he's played 4 or 5 games now I think) as well as 6th man Ben Howell travelling and playing only the first half of the season (if that) makes it very difficult.

The addition of import Brian Moultrie and young Matty Lycett are very, very good but also having them adjust to totally new systems with totally new teammates presents another challenge.

The side is struggling with inconsistencies and have shown that their best is very good (beating Forestville and Sturt at Wayville and Pasadena) and their bad can be awful. Probably a little early to call them underachievers and calling for the coaches head after a pretty big loss of key personnel is definitely unwarranted.

R15 has been a pearler.

Mens
Mavs have cracked the seal and got a win.
Warriors have set themselves up for a must win game next week
Lions gave the Eagles a very big shock and basically gifted them the game in the last 2 minutes.
Norwood got Sturt and have pinched 5th spot
West-North to OT, but Norf got 26 Q4 points to make it happen.

Womens
West gave North a scare outscoring them 11 points in the first half
Sturt pushed Norwood
Carla actually suited up
Tigeresses secured 5th spot (??)
Mavs coming home pretty hard

Oh, did I mention Carla suited up?

Oh , it's bad out there . Who does she think she is anyways , hopping about all over the place.

how many of carla's points could have been called a travel because as i remember she was pretty bad last year

The basketball rule book states that contact is not necessarily a foul
It states that a advantage must be made
No one actually likes a game of basketball where the game stops all the time for every small change of the pivot foot or for small, insignificant contact

That's my opinion anyway

Also a carry is only when the ball is clearly held from below and used to carry the ball past a defender
Does not happen often in ABA

The issue is you have multiple people calling multiple different schenarios and therefore getting mu;tiple different calls even in the one game due to flow and 'management' (note cheating) in any one game.

And this is why you get crowds and coaches yelling at the ref's, because of the huge inconsistancies.

Travels get missed alot in ABA!

West Adelaide are always blaming the officials
EVERY TIME THEY DON'T WIN A GAME!!!! IT'S THE REF'S FAULT

Maybe some of these refs need players to throw the ball at their head... Then they can interpret if they are being used as a part of the court to bounce the ball or just getting a ball thrown at their head...

I don't get out to games these days but still eread results etc and there are a lot of West supporters that whinge on here about the refs every single time they lose.

i WAS talking about West men, not the woman's team....

those two players wouldnt have been fouled off if they actually called the foul on the player that fouled (i.e Pero) everytime he fouled it was dished to the player next to him

but i agree west screwed themselves over in that game, even with the tech they let north get back in the game

west had north in the bag everytime they actually ran an offence they scored
in the last 2 mins after the tech and in OT they went down the court and chucked up shit
maybe it will open their eyes and they will realise they arent a team that will go out and beat everyteam out there with ease

West coaches def messed up in the last two min of the 4th quarter.

Re:TISSUE

I'm pretty sure the issue was about Woodville woman's refs that they were complaining about. Not west!
