what happened

I doubt a walkover would be given for not having a patch on a uniform, has to be an illegal player. On the sat night their result has stood?

CEO refused to pay fines to league.Not sure what for.Kids are the ones that suffer...

Not surprised. No idea how to run a basketball club. Jolly good times at Franga.

Refusing to put Melbourne United patches on.Refused to pay the $75 a game fines.Instead of being 2-0 now 0-2.

Refused!

REALLY..........??

Anon, I thought the Melbourne United stuff only applied to VJBL?

Must have a deal with the Youth League as well as they won both games comfortably and were given 20-0 result to the opposition.

My belief is that the MU sponsorship is only VJBL.

feel sorry for the kids, too many egos down there.

I believe that it has to do with court announcers and other game day issues last year.

Why would they let teams pay the price for their (alleged) wrongdoing ? .... priorities frankston please

Three sets of lights out at Sth Pen on Saturday night.Not great for viewing...

Only saw the men.Very workman like performance from Sth Pen.Fairly even roster.Lack a 5 for there interior defence and rebounding but i believe one is on the way.Max looked good but needs to demand the ball when the well runs dry.Very young team that needs to mature mentally and physically.

Picked them to not even make finals last year though HD? Were a quarter or so away from winning it all.
And the roster has certainly improved from 2014.
Wouldn't underestimate them again.

Happy Days - Sth Pen men game was a shocker. Blackburn team is a shambles. Poorly coached and no passion in the group. two best players are 17 year olds.

Spoke to Paul after the game.Very young team so no great expectations.Thought the refereeing mirrored a game of AFL it was that physical.Well done to the coaches for keeping there players under control.If this is the way games are going to be called it wont be long until players come to blows.

Are the Frankston kids playing for points this weekend?

Womens team havent won a game yet on the scoreboard.

@ Happy Days - 'Thought the refereeing mirrored a game of AFL it was that physical.Well done to the coaches for keeping there players under control.If this is the way games are going to be called it wont be long until players come to blows.'

Speaking to some Big V officials recently it was quite interesting to guage what they are thinking and why they let games go so much.

They seem to think that D1 Big V or the Big V game in particular is supposed to be officiated with physicality and contact allowed.

The officials I have spoken to seem to believe the players like it that way and so they interpret the rules accordingly.

Of course, I see the same problems you do on occasions, that is the level of frustration builds up and players start to get frustrated and games can risk turning into scrappy affairs that no one in particular enjoys watching.

Unfortunately I cannot see any light at the end of this tunnel, so players who cheat by playing that physical brand of basketball, using holding or pushing tactics will continue to dominate the skill players until officials are somehow forced to call games according to the rules!

Nobody likes seeing the soft fouls but the reffing the other night was the other end of the spectrum. If they keep calling the game like that, there will definately be blood spilt.

Then it is consistency that is the issue I think, when they let it go and then ping one here and there it is just so inconsistent and players who have been allowed to bump and grind don't understand why all of a sudden they are fouled for the same thing or less contact in some cases.

This is nothing new though...
