After struggling in summer Eastern in U16 men are booming!!!

Eastern looking good in most boys age groups!

Really, how are their 18 boys doing???

We're:

top in u12 boys
3rd in u14 boys
top in u16s
3rd in u18s

After 4 games.

How did you go after playing everyone at least once over summer?

Oh and there are other undefeated teams in those grades...Including the entire summer season!

Eagles girls better score a lot if they're going to win because I can't see their boys providing much help. Maybe sneak a point in 18 boys but that would be it.

Eagles may have a legitimate crack at the Girls state/reserve, but I'm resigned to the overwhelming likelihood of Sturt sweeping the lot (unfortunately).

mavs 16 girls strong

I copped a shitter of a draw.
Drawn in a group with the best team in our division, and have to travel to Morphett Vale 3 times over the weekend.

Anything can happen in state champs. Just need one or two things to go wrong and it changes every thing. Even the draw can play a part!

Sturt will win 12 girls, 14 girls and 16 girls. Fville or Eastern probably 18 girls but it's pretty wide open, Sturt could win that too now their at full strength.

Sturt will win 12 boys, 16 boys and 18 Boys. Centrals will win 14 Boys.

Sturt will win Reserve Boys in a landslide, Reserve Girls closely followed by Forestville.

Sturt will win both Club Trophies.

Sturt will fail to make 14 Boys Nationals for the third year running though, that has to be an issue for the Club.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Some very confident predictions in some very iffy grades there!

Wouldn't be so sure about 12 boys or even 18 boys - has this group ever won a state champs?

And I think some of those girls grades are 50/50. Wouldn't take much for the results to tip the other way.

Agreed about their U14 boys though - why did they give that group to the young coach? Seems like they have gone backwards the past 9 months.

Centrals possibly to make U14 nationals 2 yrs in a row at u14 level. Who would have thought????

Demonstrates to clubs that putting your resources into U12 and U14 pays off in future years.

Sturt girls will have to play better in 16 girls than they did last Friday night against Mavs to finish first. Not that the score is up on the BSA website yet from Friday night. Only one thats not,..

No one has come within 20 points of Sturt in a number of those grades. How is that iffy?

It's not arrogance when it's backed up with results.

12 girls Sturt v Forestville, Eastern or Southern

14 girls Sturt v Forestville, West or Eastern

16 girls Sturt v Eastern

18 girls open slather

12 girls res Sturt v Forestville

14 girls res Sturt v Forestville

16 girls res Sturt v Forestville

18 girls res Sturt v Forestville


Jack you need to catch up mate. Forestville girls aren't the program they've been the past 2/3 years.

And Sturt have got better.

all it takes is a case of gastro to go through a team and game over

390.. Maybe I reading this wrong, but I think your argument on Forestville not being a dominate force is all in the way you have written coincidently Sturt first, before Forestville on your list.. I am not a Forestville person, but to someone from another club the word forestville is pretty dominate on your own list???...lol
Unless this is who you believe to be the already winning teams, and that Mr or Mrs Sturt is a bit over confident.
you know what they say though. It aint over till the Fat lady sings. All teams have a chance... Then some may have to eat humble pie.
Either way, good luck to all teams on the weekend.

It's all relative.

In my opinion Forestville won't win any of the Reserve titles. in the Girls.

Just my opinion though.

18 girls will be hard

Bearcats for under 18 girls,by a country mile.

With forestvilles rapid decline on the boys side, similar to norths and norwoods a few years ago, and clubs like woodville, centrals, eastern and southern getting their act together in some age groups looks like the closest boys comp in years. Albeit sturt will win most age groups, u14s being the exception.

Sturt do not get better...they just take the better players from other clubs!!!!!

yeah right, bearcats 18 girls couldn't even beat centrals this season

then towelled em by close to 20 when they gave them due respect..

Some wild results tonight. Does this change anyone's predictions?

What were the wild results?

I have a question.

I have noticed that the "big" clubs have in some cases entered a 3rd team in age groups, and they are not competitive, is this to increase the clubs chance of winning the club state champions title? Is the title worked out on a point system for participation as well?
These additional teams do not play in the relevant division during the season. They have only been added for this championship?

If it is the case I would think that this is taking pure advantage by using their vast numbers pool.

Thanks

They don't count for points. There are no points awarded for participation. It's purely used as an extra tournament for those guys. In some cases they are quite competitive (shows BSA's ignorance in only allowing 1 team per division in 1 & 2s) and in other cases they are making up the numbers.

Only allowing 1 team in div 1 and div 2?

must be special exemptions granted then as there are more than 1 team from the "big clubs" in these divisions.

Thanks for your answer and clarification.

#628 no actually it showcases the stupidity of parents who stay at the "Big" clubs and play Division 3 when they probably could play Division 2 or even 1 at another.

The little club's parents love it. Their kids get the benefit of tougher competition, better coaching and more exposure at div 1 level.

I should say, in younger age groups. They seem more liberal in allowing U16 & U18 double div 2 teams, but not in the younger groups.

No they dont get better coaching. Just a competition where they lose by large margins some weeks.

Every other State in the cuntry has a graded competition where teams do not have a guarenteed spot in the competition.

And we wonder why our elite teams are uncompetitive???

649

u14 allow it but only accept from the big clubs will not accept 2 teams in 1 div from the smaller clubs.

Funny how it works, not what you know but who I guess.....?

#651 no they don't.

And those that do have far tougher poaching rules then BSA does.

And a wider spread of Association locations.

And Associations with their own local competitions not little Clubs playing in an 'elite' Competition.

Adelaide basketball is different from the rest of the Country in every way.

#653

no one can have 2 teams in Div 1...

the second team in div 2 is by grading according to results, not club size...

anon #416655

No they dont have 'poaching rules'. State and NITP players are free to move clubs in all states.

If Southern - Centrals - Port Adelaide - Mt Barker isnt large, your kidding yourself. All associations in Melbourne have othe associations closer than even the Sturt/Forestgville/South size. Knox and Kylsith are only 10-15 minutes away from each other.

Yes agree, another thing that BSA has got wrong. All clubs should have domsetic comeptitions.

Adelaide is only different because people dont want change so they can hold onto an outdated philosophy rather than a competitive development based system.

Ok proven example current

a smaller club has a div 1 team and wants also to have 2 div 2 teams as they are strong and too good for div3. Was knocked back and club was told not allowed for your club. Therefore current situation both div 1 and 2 have 10 kids and some have been told sorry we cannot accommodate you so lost to bball.

However club also told that the large clubs are allowed due to their pool of players. Consequently these big club teams are hardly competitive in this division.

Strange rule and an inconsistent ruling I think

Simply not true.

The only clubs to nominate 2 div 2 teams were Sturt, Norwood and Forestville.

A blatant lie.

are you sure? above

you might want to go check your notes/emails/phone conversations before you accuse someone or club of a blatant lie! You might have memory relapse or misplaced something perhaps.

also maybe club did not nominate as they were told it couldn't!

Jack - Sturt have done a massive amount of recruiting over the past year (more so than usual). Sturt will compete for the title in just about every age and grade for boys and girls. By numbers alone they should take out boys and girls, state and reserve.

A tad behind the times: don't expect any Eagles Blue v Gold at all in the girls this year.

#666 before accusing others of lying you may want to check your nomination paperwork from BSA

results for U16 boys last night. Sturt nearly lost to Centrals, 1 point in the end. I think some questionable decisions from the ref's got them over the line in the end. At one stage the sturt bench seemed to be making the calls!

gold old sturt intimidation and refs who are fearful of such

Yeah watched the game. Game winning shot was on a clear travel too. One of many that Sturt got away with, not to mention the amount of reaching in on transition defense.

Guess thats why theyre Sturt. No ones allowed to beat them

Yep, checked the nominations. Only Sturt, Norwood and Forestville nominated.

Feel free to enlighten us all.

Or can you not cover up your blatant lies!!!

refer to 671 champ

did you look under F for file or F for Forget or N for nominations then that file said refer to the F file?

So you are saying Centrals should have won the game?

Good to see Centrals pushing Sturt in U16 boys now too.

I was there, watching another game mostly, but watched most of the 2nd half of the centrals v sturt game, and the guy reffing seemd like a descent bloke. The other ref was a pretty poor communicator with the crowd, coaches and players. We need refs and they are important and all but they sometimes need to chillout.

Now back to the actual basketball.
18 girls definately the one to watch. Going to be hard fought between Forestville Mav's Bearcats and North. Maybe even Norwood if the Supercoach has a good tourney and his girls play for him for a change.

anon #416687,

there is not a chance of BSA telling a club that only those 3 clubs can nominate a second team...

ie...if it did happen and was referred to a commission level, head would role...

feel free to enlighten us with a grade where a non sturt/norwood/forestville team would be able to qualify 2 teams into div 2?

If you can play games on Court 2 at the Arena with benches on the baseline, Courts at Hillcrest, Small courts at Port Adelaide, Deadspot courts at Marion.... whats the difference between them and Mt. Barker?

Basketball stadiums will never attract enough revenue per se to make them wortwhile taking into account capital costs and depreciation.

Partner with schools and setup a US HS type system. Milk schools for their facilities and resources and help the schools build basketball programs which attract new enrolments, generate a strong culture in the school. Kids/parents are attracted to schools with strong sporting programs and links to pathways.

Likewise with local councils.

Think; partnerships, leverage those partnerships and likewise provide the partners with commercial and/or social benefits.

STARplex is 100% owned by a school (Trinity).
At least 5 other schools have at least 2 court stadiums far superior to hilcrest, mt barker etc

I was going to mention you sound like a moron but I thought I'd go easy on you too!!

Inlges13

You mean like Westminster, Immanuel, Walford, Heathfield.....

Please just once write something intelligent...

If Basketball went to schools and said here is a guaranteed $100K revenue a year for games, trainings etc. etc.

PLUS we will help you setup domestic comps PLUS you can run holiday camps they might be interested in building bigger venues.

This is going to be a good proposition but when you throw in the potential enrollments - maybe 10 - 15 additional new enrollments per year the return on investment begins to get significant.

Then tell; them by the way we will work in conjunction with your program to ensure consistencies between the school and district club program, plus we will be a banner for you in the community and give your school/basketball program exposure externally too. Schools would be interested for the commercial and social benefits to them and their community.

St Peters...

About as unintelligable as your grammer Ingles13

Seriously ingles how old are you? Who uses LOL????

Irony Inlges13

Yes we get it should be grammar he got it wrong big deal.

I've proven you wrong about NBA stuff on here on numerous times but don't go on like you do.

Do you ever wake up and wonder how it would feel to be liked?

I'm sure that was a "tactical" loss by the West 18 girls hahaha NOT

Ingles you are a dumb sht. Proven wrong is correct grammar. You don't need you're. If you weren't a brained dead moron you'd know that.

Refs are intimidated, like the sturt players by the overaggressive sturt coaches with no self control.

Please all you should have seen the refs in the West v Mavs, West got hammered

The Eagle....i mean Daffy Duck was obviously there. They said it wasnt the refs but West choked.

How the mighty West 18 girls fell to the almighty Sturt- bye bye classics

Centrals u16 boys and Norwood u16 girls both looking likely to make classics. Both would have been a long shot before the weekend.

Central's 12 boys going to classics!!!!!!!

What tha!?!?!??!

Centrals 14 Boys a possibility to miss Classics if they lose to form-team Eastern tonight and the percentages don't go their way.

centrals won

Won what? Centrals haven't won a thing yet.

the game mentioned about. Centrals beat Eastern to make Semis.

Not only won but destroyed eastern about 70 odd to 30

Whats going on at West only 1 girls team to make finals-14/2.

Eastern form team? Centrals didn't lose s game in summer, so far in winter and in state champs.

How are they not form team????

Some surprising results so far.

Centrals boys looking alright, with u12, u14 and u16 all heading to classics. Bit of a surprise.

Also Norwood girls, u14, u16 and u18 all making top 4.

Should add...not surprised that centrals 14 Boys are going, just making the point that with the three of them going it shows they are in pretty good shape!

Westies under U18 girls bottom of the pool. How has the development of this group been over the years???

Any big omissions?

Woodville u12 boys
West u18 girls
Norwood u16 boys

All would have expected to be there.

Any reason why ghe West girls failed to win a game

Sturt U18 girls miss classics - draw to a team of basically first year players and an U 16 player cost them!!

Perhaps Mr Wong and Mr Mesecke take the wrong girl!

#417100 - so you heard Neil tell a player to go to another club? or you're just taking pot shots...

And let me get this straight, you saw the State Coaching director talk to a club coaching director from one club and a player from another club? wow, who would have thought...

If clubs are dumb enough to ban their players from NITP and more than likely better coaching then they are being negligent.

ignorance is bliss I guess.

I am sure I could get enough clubs to boycott this program and put together a better more focussed effort. Maybe even have a go at an interstate person to be a consultant to this group. If BSA are going to let this poor excuse for an elite program to continue then we as clubs are then being negligent in allowing it to happen

so you can lip read I guess?

I think its pretty obvious that you are another parent who's:

a) kid wasnt invited out to NITP who thought they were better than what they were

OR

b) kid didnt make a state team and thought they were better than what they were

either way you need to let it go. its not healthy for your kids.

121, I think some clubs inadvertently boycott the sport's high performance pathways with incompetent coaching, overseen by clueless people on committees like yourself.

go up a few posts champ...all the answers are there..

Very keen to see the state champs positions if anyone's worked them out.

In my opinion, which doesn't stand for much, I believe that the way the pools are drawn, if that you can get a surprise win here and there, you can miraculously make the Semi's..........
How the hell did Centrals Under 12 boys make Classics??? Woooooooow

Hey Gottabeef,

That wouldbe a good story exceot that Norwood and Forestville have more kids move there than Sturt do.

Hahaha jack when you say dark side, do you mean will Toby Lockwood move to Sturt?

the under 18 girls state pool B was a hard pool
ANYONE could of been 0-3

Actually, do a check through the BSA transfers.

You will see tat Norwood and Forestville have more players transfer in.

Statman, your stats are crazy, oddball stuff man. What are you trying to demonstrate, what is your hypothesis? These make me smile.

Statman, you are a handicap winner in my book :)

#129 - Can you remind me how well SA is going against other states under the ageless gurus heading up the elite programs!! I will make it easy for you and you can compare them with say Tasmania - the minnows of Australia who surely can't have any decent basketballers down there.

By what ever KPI's you want to use this program is spluttering at best. The only clueless people on committees are people like you who think that if we keep doing the same thing we will get better. No wonder we can't get state funding!!

So what you are saying Statman is that being bad over summer, and doing better at State Champs mattres, even if you dont win anything...

Statman has a fascinating view on the world.

I found a previous posting with his views on 'performance'.

"Performance can be measured by variation around the mean results. A mean and standard deviation can be determined per division and then the performance measured by the number of standard deviations from the mean result. It is the best way to statistically compare distributions with different means."

I agree Warrior - In that group only one team should have had claims to be 0-3 and that was North that was made up all first years, plus an U16 player and 1 or 2 top age players. For Sturt not to make the semi's with their stacked team is a major major underachievement and may have cost them the state girls title

Didn't Sturt have 0 state players???

They won't go ok at Classics. They're not even top 4 team in SA. Were very lucky with the draw they had for State Champs.

Unfortunately for Southern pool A was stacked with Centrals and Eastern.

If it is embarrassing for Sturt 18 girls to lose to North then West and Norwood should also be ashamed. So North have only one second year and an under 16, The under 16 is starting country point guard, the second year starting metro guard also one more state metro player and a country and metro reserve. It is not embarrassing to lose to them, they have some good players.

Jack, I'm not sure about Toby going for 3 in a row next year. I didn't think he won State Champs last year. Pretty sure that was Norwood.

Happy to stand corrected though.

Last year Norwood won state champs.

Centrals won div 1 and finished highest out of SA teams at Nationals (only team to make top 10 and have winning record over there)

Correct, so Toby did not win State Champs last year. He is on a winning streak of one year, as is every other coach who won a grand final yesterday.

Ummm...Sorry concerned

There is no such thing as a wild card at 14 Nationals

But, SA has sent 3 teams to u14 Nationals for the last 5 years...so Sturt u14 girls will be attending.

But I guess you know better.

I would not doubt Sturt actually look at where they can do better next year even though they won 5 out of 6 overall rophies. If only your club couldbe concerned about the same things.

For Club Championships, in instances where the host association also receives an automatic bid, an extra 'wildcard' bid can be created. So, as is the case with the 14 Boys this year where Darwin would receive an invitation both as the host and as NT North, Darwin will obviously occupy only one of these positions, creating an unused bid that will be allocated elsewhere.

Not to suggest that I think this is likely to go to Sturt, merely to correct the assumption that there's no such thing as a wildcard.

Actually thats not a wild card.

The spot goes to the next highrest finishing state.

The highest finishing state recieves and extra bid.

So NOT a 'wild card' as it is predetermined.

The u18 are a very ordinary group of girls as the recent nationals showed. State champs simply isn't important and inconsequential.

It's important to the kids, don't lose sight of that!! You get on here and whinge about this and that, it's a kids amateur league where they learn the fundamentals of the game and if good enough some go onto the next level.

I like your hypothesis Statesman even if the other fools don't get it. I appreciate it :)

@7335 I found your post to be concise and exceptional aha.

At those defending Sturt and Meske it's possible that he's to preoccupied with "other" impending matters within the club if rumours are true hence the slip up..

We all know Sturt reputation and ability precede them but I also know all empires eventually fall and currently those "paths to rome" are being exposed.

It's only a matter of time now, first Sturt then those at BSA who fail to administrate with Balls.

Forget those stats. Let's just celebrate and talk about the teams

Were there any big surprise winners in any grade? Were there any surprise Classic qualifying teams? Any outstanding games on the weekend - I heard the U16 boys game was a classic & was a 2 point game... was there a game winning shot?

I disagree. It's a tournament sport. That's why Classics, Nationals, Olympics, World Championships etc are all tournaments.

In the big picture kids should just be enjoying their sport and good on them for that when so many just sit on the internet all weekend.They should all feel good and not focus on which club is better blah blah blah one day perhaps only a handful will play at a higher level and people should not criticise any childs performance. No wonder many of them just quit around u18 where the parents and coaches can get caught up in all the politics.Sit back and enjoy your kids playing sport, they are not kids for much longer!

Centrals 16's boys made classics which is fantastic for a team that had more bottom age players.

Centrals 12 boys made classics too which was a great achievement

Boys program picking up!

Success never happens overnight. It takes years.

Take the boys program at the Lions which has had sustained growth, improvement over the past 3-4 yrs.

If you take D1 Youth League/ABL and State Champs results this year the Lions are one of the stronger male clubs in SA - who would have thought ??????

In this process it has developed a culture of inspiring players to STRIVE to do better and climb the sport's pathways. The club has engaged with coaches working in those pathways (to get an understanding of the characteristics the kids need in their age group and to ensure the club's kids were known to these coaches), communicated those pathways and opportunities to the community, inspiring more to the game, to be engaged by the game and to work hard at bettering themselves in the game. This makes the club an attractive for the right kind of players and families.

Meanwhile the club has developed partnerships with schools and country associations in the area to ensure talent is identified as early as possible and a club that demonstrates that it ensures kids have the best opportunities for kids to achieve their best will always be attractive.

Over that time the club's ability to attract players and coaches has continued to be enhanced year on year and significant growth has occured, along with a culture change.

Fantastic male, country kids that used to drive past STARplex (some of whom played junior basketball for AUstralia) are now the same type of kids that the club has become the club of choice for in the Northern area.

There's no secrets to building a strong district club. The challenge is to continue this process.

Big applause to the Victorian referees,they now their shit,which cant be said for home grown ones.Not putting anybody down ,but some clubs are a protected species & they are good enough to win without officials helping them.

Ahh the good old Sturt propaganda bus is back.

We missed you.

breaking news, Paul Mesecke has a mind control ray that brainwashes people to move their kids to sturt! Sturt is actually a cult - watch out Paul Mesecke, initials PM will sooon be running for prime Minister and kids will be specially bred for height and athleticism all over the country to feed the Sturt program- or maybe people just move there off their own backs.

Yeah and I still believe in the tooth fairy.
PM is nothing but a bully

Classics invitations are out and it seems Sturt's Under 14 Boys are not going. There is a Qld team this year, so only 3 SA invitations, and no Sturt.

You mean nationals not classics right?

National Junior Classic

They aren't going to either. I guess they will have to go to Nunawading like every other mediocre SA team.

"Agreed about their U14 boys though - why did they give that group to the young coach? Seems like they have gone backwards the past 9 months."

Seems pretty on the money now. To have a 40 point turnaround in 1 day against a team, some of that has to come down to coaching right?

in my experience NG actively discourages kids from moving clubs.

There are more than enough sightings of Paul and Neil discussing players and then approaching them at rival stadiums over the years and those players swapping over to create this "myth". It's not hear say there's evidence, who cares tbh let them go most are wannabe's who expect improvement to come from the club not the player themselves working hard.
I've seen instances where those players have been promised more than they end up with but they stay so obviously something sticks, even if it does come at a cost. For some apparently it's been very expensive and college promises are nothing but smoke and mirrors oh and maybe additional $$$ in the Meske trust fund..

Sturt aren't even top 4 in under 14's. They've won 1 out of their first 4 games in winter. Don't even think they made finals in summer.

Southern lost one game and are better yet didnt make top 4. Sturt in this grade are not strong at all and would be surprised if they pushed for finals with current line up.

U14 Sturt only lost to Southern by 4 points a couple of weeks ago and again with injuries.

Again, they have had players that are injured and still playing.

They certainly have the talent, just need to iron out the injuries and the confidence will return.

Looking forward to it!!!!

Are you suggesting they're a top team in 14's?

773

how is your parenting going?

living your failings through your child?

It's ok no panic the sun will come up tomorrow and you and your toorak tractor will be up with it.

Injuries happen all the time to lots of people but hey usually depth covers them with good coaching to up skill the squad just in case.

Just maybe take those tunnel vision goggles off.

776 Yes

and


778 my comments weren't personal towards anybody.
Although your comments are?

Just gave your a reasonable explanation and was my opinion only.

you don't know me although wow I must have struck a cord with you!

Have faith my friend and don't be angry or upset its just not worth it.

Top team?

You think they'll be stronger (and maybe finish) higher than Southern, South, Eastern and Centrals?

What is happening at Sturt with coaching of U14's for them to be continually injured. They are generally 12 yo's - what is happening out there. There must be something wrong with their strength and conditioning set up. Or are they over trained. Whatever it is they need to have a look at this if it is costing them on the court.

Or maybe the others teams are better???

Always making excuses for the results. Sturt aren't even a finals side in 14's and it's nothing to do with injuries. Stop selling the other teams

Last time I checked, Sturt didn't win state champs, make nationals or win winter last year. What's the excuse for that?

So what if they are not top 4, they are frickin under 14's, it is still a development year, I'm sure Sturt don't tell them they are not good enough to be at the club.Not every year is always strong, next year Mavs 18's girls struggle, there are cycles, it is not all about winning for craps sake.

I guess my concern is... where did Sturt U14 boys finish 2 years ago in U12s? If I remember rightly they won state champs? So what has happened since then? They have had the same coach the whole time (2 years).

Not saying it's a big deal they're not top 4 what I'm saying is that you don't have to make excuses for it.

Maybe the other teams have better players, coach and/or structures?

And the sad thing is we have parents writing this crap about kids sport. Thank god the kids aren't on this thread, they show the maturity here.

Maybe Friday night you clowns swap with your sons and play. Let them sit on the sideline and behave like gimps.

Didn't you guys make it as players?????

Generally U14 success equates to good coaching at U12 level. It's easy to win U12 level basketball but winning in this age group means you need to use tactics that sacrifice development. An U12 coach that instills a love for the game, attracts new kids to the game, commitment from players, excellent defensive principles and descent offensive skills will ensure that the U14 group is successful.

Something for the Sabres to think about!!

#695, no, I meant Classics. If I meant nationals I would have said so.

Sturt u14 boys are not invited to Classics.

I don't think it's down to coaching in 12's. I know a 12s team that lost to a team by 40 yet two years later in 14s they're beating them by that margin.

Pretty sure Corey coached that West group (not North) in 16s that failed so miserably in 18s... Didn't they do better in 16s than 18s so your little jab at Corey Curious is a little misplaced dont you think? Before you have a go maybe get your facts straight hey?

Corey we have told you before, stop posting about yourself.

Brute physicality is the way div 1 U18 Westies girls are all about,but we look so cute executing authority on court. Between our three pointers we may put forward a few bruises-so boohoo grow a pair then come and compete against us. BEARCATS 4 EVA!!!!!!!

Ahhh - I had forgotten championships were on in round 1 on March 22nd. Thanks for reminding me of what is really important!!!

Keep winning those meaningless games, folks.

Has Corey won anything except for U23D1 Men in the inaugural YL year at North which quite frankly could have won it without a coach that year!!

he has won the chubba chups company respect being rewarded with endless supply of lolly pop sticks to suck on.
But wait for a while he will no doubt post to tell us.

Say what you want,but this Bearkatz side would have been unbeatable had he stayed.

New Cats coach is good ,but not up to Corey standards.

Fridays game was lost because of poor execution of play by my dear KATZ,not by the superiority of North.Congrats to them this time ,but next time be prepared for a launching.

North played terribly that night, West were missing 3 starters who were at their formals, they were never really a chance even though North weren't too competetive,

lol...

I'm sure they are watching your U12 and U14's as well...

how are they doing again?

It wouldn't surprise me.

North have an under 16 girl because they have no under16 div1 team, so good on the 18's but from there down there aint much happening folks.

They have no U16's as Sturt "parents" convinced one to move there on the promise of a Div 1 spot. Not sure how "parents" can promise anything. Then twins followed their sister to Southern Tigers and then next went to Norwood to help her chances of getting a state gig as North's team had been decimated which started with the first move. She stays and the team stays together!!

So... it's everybody elses fault but ours?

Fairly certain the player in question who moved to Sturt got the position off her own playing ability, not any promises of these "parents"

She did afterall, make the metro team as a first year kid last year...

Claire,

I have no idea who you are if I ran into you. I am just relaying the story from one of the other persons who has moved to our club explaining why they shifted and, in their opinion, what was the initial reason for the exodus. Doesn't bother me - our club is also beneficiaries of all of this!!

This thread is about SA junior championships not bullisht that you're all dribbling (excuse the pun).

Why don't you all get a life and post positive things about the championship!

So anon,

Esentially you have lied about a 15 year old kid.

Intentionally slandered a club without any truth to it.

And are happy that you have taken kids out of a team leading to their collapse.

Well arent you a special person!

Anon above

Are you reading what I am reading? Seems to me you have selective reading syndrome. Perhaps you can ask the Sturt President why he isn't completely happy about the initial move to Sturt and what problems it may have caused. Perhaps PM and RD are not seeing eye to eye on these matters.

And I thought this was about the kids hahaha

If you know each other save us from your pathetic behavior and have it out with each other behind closed doors.

^^

I think you might have heard wrong.

Or are just making shit up.

At some point you might hit on something that is true. But up till now you haven't. Just another ignorant bullshit artist.

Westies will rule the roost after hearing about the problems in other clubs we realize that our probs are over & for our competitors they have just begun.BKATZ FOR EVA!!!!!!!

Don't feed the troll

Anyone know why sturts u14s are not going to classics?

774, weren't invited.

BV only invited top 3 due to Gold Coast nomination.

No PlaymakerMo you don't know cause you might just be an ignoramus

^ WTF I don't think they care to much for Sturt atm, ask the coaches things are a bit tougher this year away from Pas aha.

WTF,

They need to update from 2012 first.

But they sure are on top of the ball there.

How can we have any confidence in them as the peak body when they are over a year out of date.

Oh, and in their key documents. They have a business plan that ran out in 2011. No wonder we are a rudderless shit.

How about updating the State Results which haven't been updated since 2008. Surely a 5 minute job?
