south women to lose again

The person who just pops on and says south to lose again, you are the loser my friend. Get a life.

But the south to lose again person will probably be correct

yeah south are probably overall the weakest club of all 10 clubs competing in abl.

No live stats from Pt Adelaide. Can anyone post score of West vrs Flames men?

There is only room for stats or norwood egos so the stats lose out any time norwood play.

How bad is west though demeaning their young women floor wipers with sadie the cleaning lady. Volunteers r hard to find without demeaning them in front of their peers.

Sturt by 18.. Could have gone either way. South a shocka of a third quater. I see Southern got thumped by Forestville. Bye bye finals.

Southern had 4 under 18 players!! Never had a chance

Excuses, excuses. The were only missing Cibiattoni werent they? Which yes is a big out. But that is a dimal performance.

Last post, no Alex, no Simone Nelson, no Teressa Kinrosse 3 starters!! So no excuses just stating the point

Southerns US 'exports' continued their disgraceful form. The team has been on a serious slide from the time they got back. Bad attitudes combined with crap basketball.

Southern have really screwed the pooch this season!

I agree with the above. Seem to go down hill since they got back. Isnt that the coaches fault??

And those 3 wouldnt have made that much difference to the result I dont think. Either way, looks like the will be out of finals.

I think they would have made a considerable difference. Maybe not got them
Over the line but would have distributed the offense a fair bit better. 38 shots out of 70 coming from 2 players. Plus -17 on the boards which Nelson would have certainly helped significantly. Why Spencer would take 22 shots against the inside defense of Borrego and Thompson is ludicrous - however missing Kinross and Ciabattoni means they were lacking offensive options.

I agree however - I think the coach is heavily to blame, unless instructions coming from above about rotations. They were flying earlier in the year with Anderson and Ciabattoni firing, then a few players coming back, minutes get skewed, offense ending with the wrong people, and the losses mounted.

186, are you a parent impacted by skewed minutes or just a coach in waiting? From afar it looks like personalities that grounded southern last year and this one where ball sharing is not going to happen.

Well shite happens, take the Woodville girl last night who fouled out after 11 minutes of game time, which isn't brilliant but the coach there can't be the brightest bunny in the warren either not to have sat her on the pine earlier.Crying and women's basketball seem to go and in hand.

Did West women win last night

wow go mavs, 2nd mens win.

I saw the Tigers v Eagles and the girls looked like they were playing a style that was missing the key components and I'd say the missing players were it, yes a lot of shots taken from the short corner but no post screen to support, looked ugly and unorganised.

The mens game was a treat to watch went to OT, Tigers had the game most of the night and it shouldn't have went to OT but seems the couldn't handle the pressure and Forestville showed poise and experience to cope with the situation and take the win.

so where were the missing girls for Southern anyway??

They still had alot of talent playing, so maybe just a bad game?

You people having a crack at tigers women have no idea

Why do we have no idea?


They play little defense and had an offense that had no rules...just play loose girls!! Ciabatoni has never been able to play without the ball in her hands.

I hear her mother had a go at the assitant a couple of weeks ago, cos she is selfish?? ....no kidding.

It's no surprise the Tigers got pumped as they have played all year with the worst bench ever seen so not having regular starters was the end.

Three of the bench girls struggle in Under 18 Division 1 and its a mystery why they are part of this squad.

I hope it has nothing to do with the fact that two of them have parents on the Executive.

They need to find a full sqaud that can contribute in some manner.

Above post, what club are you from

Few people have an axe to grind I think

Ok no, they had to play under 18s....
Imagine if they had to play that many under 18 girls each week like some other clubs do.
Sturt have had to do it this year, and we see how bad they are without WNBL players. West have been shocking having to play so many juniors because of their "AWESOME" junior girls program recently.

No wonder why people dont go to women's games

Actually west v nwd womens game was intense all game. Nwd without foley but west pushef them to the end. West wdv sturt southrrn will all be better for the season experience. Valk can coach though jury out on jeanrtte n hopgood is woefully bad

Another poorly coached loss for Norwood's mens team. Looks like its going to be an early finish this year if the coach continues to play favourites. A big exodus coming at the end of the year. I hope all those juniors 'coming' through will be ready for some big minutes.

To all the knockers if the tiger girls win this week they play finals!!

In fact the only way theavs can get in is if centrals win or the tigers win by about 40 points

The only way the Tigers can get in is if the beat Centrals and the Mavs lose.

On current form this is highly unlikely.

If tigers win they are the 2-0 over centrals, centrals are 2-0 over mavs, mavs are 2-0 over tigers, therefore it goes down to percentage of the games played between the 3 teams and mavs percentage is way lower than the other two, tigers win they are in, tigers lose Mavs are in, tigers win by 30+ tigers play mavs at home in first week of finals!!

pardon my ignorance but how can mavs and tigers play first week of finals aren't they both fighting for the same 5th spot?

should nwd sit out first week of finals, north v centrals then fvlle v mavs/tigers whoever gets in?

Read the rules and you won't be ignorant!!

rules or by laws cause the two are different kettles of fish

unlikely scenario whatever happens no way Southern will make the finals.

I prefer the hate Borego and Forestville thread better

Head to Head is Centrals +25,Tigers +2,Mavericks-27.So Central would have to lose by 53 for Mavs to get in,if Tigers and Mavs both win.Tigers need West to beat Mavs and win themselves to get in.

Tic tak you have access to this site therefore you have access to the FIBA site and the rules!!

creek is a great player, but kinda struggled in abl this year.

If Southern win and Mavs win, Mavs are in the finals as head to head Mavs own southern beeting them both games this year

If Mavs go down to West and Southern win, Southern are in the finals as they will have 1 more win

and if Mavs win and southern go down Mavs again are through
