Bsa dont need balls just need to change by laws yet again like they needed to after borrago. Johnston had a certificate to say he could not play. By laws dont state that you need to be at game in state or country. Bet by next season it will.

Awesome game. Probably closer than it should have been the way Teys and Johnson played. Congrats to southern.

Teys was awful.

DJ 0-3 in Premier League finals.

Teys was embarrassing. How is this guy in the NBL. Blocked on 6 layups

doesn't take long for the Club supporters to start their gloating and bragging

There's one thing they can't do

Show any class

Or write/spell correctly.

You couldn't cheat to win the title! Now shhhhh!!!!!

Only special one is you lost. Hope it tastes good when you say it. "We lost!".

I'm sorry you lost.

Southern fans are hilarious talking up their 100k+ team of recruits lol

You tried your best. And you failed miserably.

The lesson is.... never stack your team with 3 36ers. Flaunt the rules. Disrespect the competition and then come on here and take the moral high ground.

"Dignity in defeat" - you cheated. You have no dignity.

Word out of the tigers camp is Johns is getting a second story on his New Hackham home. Winning bonus I guess.

What happened to the win at all cost arrogance from eagles? Did they lose that too?

And all the southern people gloating going to need 3 jobs to pay for their kid fees so fat boy can buy another title

Nothing but hungry jacks money and championships.

It would have sucked if your club actually tried to win the grand final.

Carrying on like you don't care. Don’t break the rules.

Losing hurts doesn't it. Zip and 2 on the night. That’s gotta hurt.

Hungry Jacks or a Vili's family pie split 6 ways?? Give me Hungry Jacks every day.

I hear Andy and the brains trust at Forestville ( is that an oxymoron ) have started preparing for next season by having a closed legal session going through the By - Laws again

Southern fan makes fun of the Eagles brains trust.

Southern fan can't spell 'wear’.

Brilliant.

Would you like a tissue? Losing hurts hero

Does it? I care a hell of a lot less about losing than Southern fans do about winning.

Must be tough only having one good thing happen in your life a year.

Just accept you lost dude

Have since the siren. Wasn't that hard.

Bad cheating winners and bad losers! Love the salt!

can someone remind me why Teys has an NBL spot?

Championship rings hahahah flogs

Teys had a bad game but a great season, didn't he lead it in scoring. And the few games I saw was always a classy and hard worker. If he played the whole season would have romped home in the woollacott. Easy to bag someone when they have a poor showing.
Interesting to see eagles fans do the whole I don't care we didn't win, would be shattered. Hopefully they can see now the way they did things was wrong.

I don't play for them, and we all knew Southern wouldn’t be a pushover. Of course it sucks, but no point crying over it. I’m sure the players are hurting a lot more than the fans.

For free

Maybe Andy was outcoached!!

Would like to see Andy and nyberg coach a team that wasn't stacked and see how they go. Andy wasn't going too well till the sixers came in and nyberg got outcouched by a mile in last year's GF.

Nyberg demonstrated his coaching prowess by making a snide comment when shaking hands immediately after the game. I wouldn't be surprised if he's burned more than one bridge as a result.

Definetely fell through a few bridges when he departed Pasadena Maccas en route to Morphettvale

You can't try and take Nyberg down because he does his job better then any other coach or club in the league. He recruits good aussies and gets them to assimilate themselves into the club with coaching and jobs with sponsors. He creates the best game night experience then any other club and has every home game packed out. And he win! Don’t be mad at him, be mad at your own club for not hiring someone to do the job that he does.

His paycheque gives him time and opportunity to do those things. I'm not saying he doesn’t do a great job but his situation is pretty different to a heap of other coaches.

Of course Nyberg is able to recruit well with the money at his disposal, in fact with his rumoured budget I would have expected better. And game night experience is directly related to winning. I bet if they had a losing record the crowd wouldn't be coming.

Wins title... anonymous expected better.

Wins title against a more talented team...must be the budget

Are Forestville a more talented team? I wouldn't have said so even before the final.

Nyberg would have nothing to do with game night experience, the only reason southern get good crowds is they are a bunch of front runners, I remember a few years ago when both men and women were uncompetitive you could count the amount of supporters on one hand.

southern would want to keep spending as no a lot coming through in the way of juniors especially on the girls side

most incestuous club in the state, how many people from the one family on the committee

I would never have thought Tigers have best atmosphere for P/L games. If you want atmosphere and crowd involvement you can't go past Hillcrest with proximity to court on all sides.

As for Nybergs "snide comment shaking hands" and "burning bridges" comment.
Wouldn't think there is a bridge left standing when it comes to Andy and the Cheatgles after their efforts this season with the majority of the Premier League coaches or clubs.

If Teys had shown up the result very most likely would have been different. Kudos for Doyle keeping them in it and Phillips battled hard against superior size. DJ was DJ. Who was MVP out of curiosity? Brine?

Turnage

Everyone trashing Doyle and Teys having no right to be 36ers but of course they're gun professionals now.

Turnage very worthy but Brine did a great job at both ends. Would have been my vote.

Mays despite only having 6 points did a great job on DJ and had 15 boards.

So Teys apparently sucks, even at local level?
Yet still part of the NBL?

Turnage had a solid game. Brine's performance was great on both ends. Shot much needed 3’s and had teys on lockdown all night. He wasn’t just having an "off night". Would’ve been my vote.

Great game to watch though. Close all game. A lot of talent out on the court!

It's a shame that Teys didn't get a chance to play to his NBL strengths of clobbering a young kid on a lay up to incite an all in brawl.

Stick to what you know BT.

It's a shame Johns didn’t just sit on the bench (do development players even do that?). We could have won if he did.

The actual game was shite. Hardly a showcase of PL basketball but as it was close, it kept it interesting.
