Yet again, the "comparison to domestic" slag. Dull. Ill-considered and without context.

Of the Camberwell D1 womens team how many are juniors?Alot of recruiting going on, what about junior development?

Happy Days, I get where your coming from, however, if the juniors aren't there, you can go with the approach of building something super exciting and talented that all the juniors can then aspire to. The current U18s wouldn't be up to it, however, if the senior program is successful (which they should be) then that will create excitement and a pathway for the current u12s and u14s in the years to come.

As for teams changing divisions;
Shepp to D1M
Sth Pen to SCW
Western Port to D1W
Mildura with YLM
Mornington with YLW
A lot of talk from one of the teams out Casey/Pakenham/Keysborough way (can't remember which 1) of them trying to jump from D2M to SCM
Supposedly Melbourne to SEABL (or at least trying)

Some teams should be made to go down a division, will be interesting to see if any have volunteered to step down a division or been "Strongly encouraged" to go down a division. On that note, what should BigV do with teams who are horrible in D2?

I think Melbourne to SEABL is on the cards some time in the future.Would they play out of MSAC?

Hahaha, Melbourne to SEABL? Albury women rejoice - you'll have someone to beat next year!

There seem to be a significant number of new teams joining YLW - heard it will be two divisions next year?

Also, Hawthorn have been sprouting that their YL team will be going to YCW, any truth and who is coming down if they go up?

On the old junior development issue, there are too many very good juniors at the bigger VJBL clubs that can't, once they've finished juniors, get a game in their home YL or higher teams, why wouldn't some mid-tier clubs pick them up, give them a go in YL and/or D2. Keeps the kids playing and make the comp stronger, that can't be bad can it?

Have to agree with you Happy Days. I vaguely remember the statement being that the new players (6 or 7 of them?) were going to add to the existing talent. Will be interesting to see how many minutes that existing talent receives next season.
Would be nice to see yapper coach his way to success instead of recruit his way to success.

Also, from what I've heard:
Shep, Casey & Keilor to D1M. Would make a 2 x 8 team conference
3 or 4 new youth Womens teams to create a YL2W.
Apart from Sth Pen women going up, haven't heard much at SC level.

Think Sth pen women are jumping the gun here, big jump to SCW from div1 unless they are planning on recruiting big time for next season. Yes they have kids who won VJBL playing, but that's about it when you look at the stats from last year they were the main contributors, and whilst yes they are a talented group , they are not scw calibre just yet, give them another year or two. Jamie lee Pearce cannot do it all, in fact she has never played at this level either and as she plays a big, she will come up against much bigger bodies than she's used to.

You would of thought Southern Pen would of waited one more year to consolidate before moving.Gerard is a good coach so he must believe his girls will be able to handle the physicality.As long as they are competitive.

Shouldn't clubs earn the right to be promoted rather than just nominating where they think they should fit.

Maccabi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Demarcus Head Coach at Mornington, Renay Bresnan for the girls and Dave Hankin doing Youth.

Maybe its for one year and then Hankin can move into the role. I agree player coaches dont really work its the assistant that drives the ship.

Don't forget he will win DOC of the Year also lol

So apart from being Player/Coach of the BigV Men, what else does Demarcus Berry do in order to earn his income from Mornington? My understanding is that he has now outsourced all of the rep trainings to Impact...seems as though he has worked it all out haha - get others to do the work yet still get paid, clever chap

I think you'll find Demarcus is actually working the hardest he has ever had to work with a committee and president hot on his hammer. Impacts involvement is not that great, another money making exercise.Mornington now has some experienced business people involved but with little basketball experience.If they had a basketball background they wouldnt of employed Impact.

Lester Strong has tribunal hearing with Immigration in December which will determine his future.

As good as this year when you were going to win all 3 championships ?

#winsomethingfirst

If you check the latest edition of the Cranbourne News you'll find that the hearing for Lester is scheduled for December and he has engaged an Immigration agent to assist him as he had been trying to do the paperwork himself.

Jamal Brown to maccabi

Yep Bogart King will be playing in the UK but returns mid March. Will be playing for the steelers

WP and Morno fighting for Tindal

The only way WP will change the face of basketball on the peninsula is if they withdraw from the competition! Sick of hearing D2 teams beat their drums and deliver nothing, put your focus towards your juniors for a while.

They are changing the face of men's basketball on the peninsula by spending ludicrous amounts of money on their division 2 men and continuing to suck

All u haterz doin is motivatin us

#peoplewhogetcutbyuswillhateonus

Its fairly obvious it isnt even casey people posting stuff anymore.
i think they would have toned it down a little after copping an ego check from the sweping by Shepp...
obviously someone from another club in D2 trying to imitate them, which just pretty sad to be honest.

Could be wrong but just my thoughts

JB & Jermaine staying at the Broncos...more of the same from them this year....as per every other year.

They suck once they are under .500 & can't make play offs which is normally about 7 weeks into the year, poor management to stick with the status qou.

Bronco are dead wood going nowhere in a hurry.

#499217 so as I have stated before club being run by people who don't know what they are doing does the club run it's own camps? or are impact doing all camps and club receives no income??. No wonder they have no money . So what does DOC actually do Beside play .......
