Who really cares about this stuff.

We don't have a competition anymore.

Look at it over last 10 and then last 5 years.

Boys comp dominated by Sturt
girls comp dominated by Forestvile

In two weeks we know all the results, in 8 weeks we know the State Champs won't be won by Eastern,Woodville, West, North, Centrals ,South and Southern and most likely Norwood.

The ABA season is about to commence, and we know that some teams have no chance at all of winning, yet we always call it a competition when it is not.

Keep your stats by all means, but it is like having Nationals, we know Vic are going to out muscle nearly everyone.

We have no comp, so stats are irrelevant

@ Annon. Ah well, I guess what is the point. We may as well just pack up and not bother.
The Victorians win every year so what... don't enter teams in the Nationals?
I guess Sturt girls should give up against Forestville and the Forestville boys give up against Sturt also?

Maybe, just maybe,other clubs should review their programs and try to improve their results.

Not saying it won't be difficult and take some time but as far as I know some of these clubs were once right at the top (West Norwood and North). What got them there and why have they fallen away

improvement for north boys

Maybe if Sturt stopped poaching other Clubs better players you would have a better Competition.

I think there 14 Girls have about 5 from other Clubs strengthening them and making it impossible for the other teams to compete.

and if better players went to your club wanting better coaching and to improve their game.... ?

of course you would accept.

@ Anonymous. Good! That's exactly what I would have expected most people would say. Work hard to improve as a club and make the competition stronger.
I disagree with the poaching as well but a defeatist attitude is not going to help your club

Annon,

The only people complaining about the standard of the competition are those that are losing.
I doubt the strong clubs will bother waiting for clubs like yours because they are too busy getting better and taking on the Vics.
Probably a reason Sturt go to Dandenong and not Norwood. Playing the Vics is good and playing Norwood is a waste of time.

The girls were in the gold medal round against Victoria.
Great effort by the team to only go down to Victoria by 9 points 57 - 48.
Given the numbers of players in Victoria compared to South Australia its a fantastic effort.
Well done to all involved.

Hope the knockers who said you only had to turn up to make the team show a little more respect to the girls who represented SA.

He guys. Good to see some stats minded people around here.

Sturt still running along nicely. Foresville having their girls doing well, but anyone know why their boys have dropped of so much?

North have been the big improvers. Been a while since they have been at #3 and over 50%.

Eastern doing well with a smaller number of teams.

West have made a step up while Norwood continue their drop off. And Southern after having one of their up cycles are well and truely in a down cycle.

Woodville, Centrals and South have a lot of work to do.

appoogies, you are correct.

Southern 4 out of 20 or 20%

still a slide. Just a bit steaper.
