Went to the DV game and Bulleen just seem so undisciplined. Such a shame.

While there were some coaching areas, Bowers can't be held responsible for players throwing the ball out of court three times in a row or the team shooting 30%.

Liam had a shocker and Thadds 4-9 shooting from three was sugar coating their horrendous shooting and offense.

Good rebound game though to only lose by 1 to ringwood even if a low scoring affair.

MacDonald quitting the team and no Lester doesnt help either.

Not all Bowers to blame even if a few coaching choices left heads scratching.

Dont get me wrong, I agree that Bowers should be given more time. Especially with Strong being held up.

Sounds like paperwork clearing him to play has been held up in the States. Looks to be finished now and hopefully will play.

Bowers and Mike are good coaches, really need their on court players to really stand up. Besson going 1/12 over the weekend and some poor shot selection doesn't help.

The entire team missed at least a dozen wide open shots against DV. Coaches can't shoot for them....

a $.05 comment, in my opinion, I do not believe the coach would be under pressure at this stage.

Naturally that situation could change if the performances do not improve. Especially if they don't improve when Lester does finally take the court.

The Boomers performance on Saturday night against Diamond Valley was less than impressive.

Reviewing the game statistics it appears that the team had a "brain fart" in the last quarter, only shooting at 17% and their offensive rebounding was just a horrible number for the game.

All credit to Diamond Valley once they got a run on they certainly didn't let up.

For the Boomers some of the individual shooting percentages, for the key players, were definitely below par. (0-7, 0-1, 5-8 in 35mins) and (3-11, 0-6, 0-4 in 34mins)


While the result appeared to be better on Sunday, against Ringwood, although not achieving a win, a 1 pt loss initially appears much more respectable. However, looking at the game statistics again there are a couple of key players whose individual performances were definitely not at a championship standard. (0-8, 0-0, 0-0, in 23 mins)

Again offensive rebounds were terrible with only 5 for the game - definitely an area which need some improvement.

Really looking forward to seeing how L Strong and T Varmall work together on court, could change the entire dynamic of the team - for the better!

Let's not blame the coach if he hasn't be able to get the team he recruited on the court.

Unfair to make calls like this on a coach so early. Especially seeing he has not had Lester on the floor.

To he's credit not like he lost a couple of games and went and recruited Brett Rainbow or anything like that.

Looked hopeless against Diamond Valley. Karl Beston may as well of not been on the court, he was beyond awful.

Doesn't help when Bowers sits on his ass the whole time, while Estcourt (DV coach) is up and about, motivating players etc.

BIG game against Waverley this week.

Missing one player, just happens to be a starting 5 player and only losing 3 games by 1 pt!

If Lester is better than the current starting 5 and the word is he is "reasonably talented" player, then there is not much to panic about.

What about some of the D1 coaches, the import quality this year is very good maybe a D1 coach might be the best recruiter, look at what Chelsea have done and La Trobe.

Corey left Bulleen to go to Chelsea
Mildura have Calvin Henry - SEABL all star 5 player 2 years ago.
D1 cant be that bad.

Bulleen Boomers take on an undefeated Waverley in the next game. Have been told Lester Strong will be playing.
8:00 PM / Sat 26 Apr at East Doncaster Secondary College (Bulleen home game)

Could be the start of a Bulleen winning run, all the way through to and including the grand final. Now wouldn't that be nice.

D1 Big V.....whoa!! Next step... Tuesday night C Grade. Calvin Henry obviously has injuries or no aspirations playing at that level. Stop trying to talk up shit leagues.

Okay so the person who told me Lester Strong was going to be playing against Waverley obviously doesn't know s!"t. No excuses, it's getting beyond a joke!

Anyhow, another incredibly tight game. Would be great to see the Boomers come back from this...

Currently sitting way down the ladder, it will be a long journey back. From the game results so far they're definitely not going to do it if they don't get Lester on the the court soon!

What on earth is going on with when a player, supposedly forward, that gives up 4 fouls, 2 turnovers and only scored one basket and is still on the court 25 minutes?
