Wait until Monday afternoon or maybe Tuesday when BSA can be bothered putting results up.

As it's the last round of the season would it be so hard for BSA to work a weekend and update results? Teams training on Sunday would probably like to know if they're playing and who they're playing against.


Another example of the great customer service from BSA.

the statsman?

If sportingpulse was updated we might know! nudge nudge

And an hour later its done :P

not that I work for BSA before you all claim I do.

I would prefer that all table were checked and correct and information for finals were correct than post in haste and regret it.

sure teams trained on sunday and it would have been good to know but most teams should have had a fair idea who their opposing team was likely to be it is still Monday plenty of time to adjust and make arrangements it is not like they let you know thursday morning.

So, who wants to start the finals banter first?

The Bearcats U16 girls are going to take it out by launching North into the stratosphere!!!!!!!!!!

Last time you guys said that you got smacked. You guys never learn.

The only thing Bearcats are going to beat North at is number of turnovers

The Bearcat will prevail,and succumb all obstacles that stand between it & the winter season trophy-be scared,be very scared.....HAHAHAHAHAHA(crazy laugh)!!!!!!!!!!!

U18 Boys Tigers Girls Sturt
U16 Boys Rockets Girls Rockets
U14 Boys Centrals Girls Forestville
U12 Boys Forestville Girls Forestville
U10 Boys Sturt Girls Forestville

They are my tips

there once was a bearcat who boasted
we've got this won! they toasted
their good mood decayed
when the rockets they played
and they got totally roasted
MWAHAHAHAHA

Rockets in 16 boys? That's a joke right?

What does a Rockets player do after they have won a championship-----they turn the play station off!HAHAHA,Bearcats all the way baby.

Whats the difference between the Bearcats u16 girls and the loser of Friday nights game? Nothing! mwahahahahahahahahahahahaha

2 years ago West lost due to poor refereeing.

Anon #377486 have you even looked to see where they went on the ladder? Or how they played against the other teams in the finals?

Probably not probably a Sturt goon

Whats with Sturt getting U18 finals at Sturt When Tigers topped ladder, shouldn't tigers host Sturt at home or is that the power Sturt have over BSA?

anon #377696,

Every year at this time BSA get accused of not playing home and away for finals.

If you had bothered to take the time to look, you would see that the finals are decided by grades at a stadium because when they are organised, they dont know who will be top.

Hence, they are the same venue every year.

how unusual for west to blame the referees

West Adelaide's Bearcat will let out a winning growl Friday night,it will be the shriek de triumph.

Like in summer or state champs or classics ( oops didn't make them)? Go shoot some jumpers instead of your mouth you silly West fool!

This is true,only because of internal team problems,but now the Bearcat is complete & out to achieve what should have been a long time ago.And yeah sticks & stones can break my bones but words of a fearful Rocket will never hurt me.Just give us your best and let us all enjoy this division one playoff rhapsody.

Look where the BSA finals distribution policy on their website?

Here's what I see and look for yourself at each division and finals venues oh lots of games played on neutral grounds for lots of teams BUT Sturt get home games for
Boys U16 Dv1, U18 Dv1, U18 Dv4, U12 Dv3
Girls U16 Dv1,U18 Dv1, U12 Dv3, U16 Dv3

Look through the divisions for all clubs and see if any other club got as many important finals at home oh you can't their all mostly at neutral venues.

Same with 14 boys. Sturt finished second but last two rounds of finals Pasadena.

Is that fair for Norwood, Eastern or Centrals (who finished top) who don't get a home court final?

Last year all the finals were at Wayville, this year (I assume) it is unavailable because of the show. The next best venue (Centralised) is Pasadena.
"Home" finals won't work - BSA will not open up a stadium for 1 game due to costs, and as a neutral, I'd much rather go to Wayville or Pasadena to watch all the D1 finals back-to-back.

I don't see why they can't cater home games for div 1 and from there down, your comments about them not knowing who will be playing finals is bs what they don't check sportingpulse? not very often 1st spot isn't predeterminded and even still it doesn't take long to roster a finals series.

Then why cant all finals be played at the Dome?

Because the cost of such a move. PLus you cant fit all the games into that venue.

BSA do not pay for courts hire at their current venues.

BSA would lose $135 per hour. or over $500 per night.

nothing better than beating sturt at pasadena, just get the job done

Considering Wayville is out of actin due to the show.

Where do you think they should be playing their hoe games???

we have this arguement every season, or every finals to run a stadium for Hillcrest say for a U14 final and U14s play at 7, and keep it open then for a 9pm U18 game is plainly unenomical, door keepers, lights, opening a canteen or bar for two games.

or opening gawler for one game, then you have one child playing at gawler at 6.15 another child playing at port adelaide at 7.15 and your other child playing at morphett vale at 9.15. and you live at Aldinga. Good luck with that.

Pas and m/vale this time of year makes more sense, m/vale although further for me cause I live north, I don't want to travel but I know that come pre lims and grand finals I will have to make the trip to m/vale or pas. referee's are centrally rostered so you won't be getting just the referees who normally ref in those stadiums.

If you want to read all the other reasons why it is done this way, read back on past histories on the subject on this site.

Or if you think you can change it propose it to your club and get them to bring it up with BSA but you will find that your club reps have already agreed to it.

as much as I enjoy reading hoops - bitching on here often does not achieve much.

Jack.

BSA has a one off annual charge (rent) for Pasadena, Wayville, Hillcrest, Morphettvale and Port Adelaide.

Whether they use these courts this week or not that wont change.

If they use the dome they would be paying $135 per hour.

Howver you want to 'account' for it. BSA would be spending $500 for the night that it would otherwise not spend.

Wests U16 div 1 girls made a tactical move last night by loosing the game,now wait a few weeks & then the sting.(The Art Of War)!
