U18 girls div 1 2019

WOW.... things have changed since I was last in SA just had a look at the ladder of the 18 girls div 1 to see Bearcats on top, assumed it must have been a mistake at first after looking at the names on that roster they are definitely the best team on paper by far. I remember the days where it was
Eagles
.....
.....
Sturt
......
.....
.....
.....
.....

....
.......
and all the other teams

I am curious to know whos coaching them and has them playing so well.

Settle down bearcat.

Forestville still undefeated and beat West. Just that they have had the buy and west have not.

Plus a number of players missed games due to US tours etc so doesn't mean much atm imho!

Gee someone's a little excited! Must be state champ favourites midway through summer. How good is that!

round 10 for the junior draw seems missing on sports TG - the cancelled round due to heat before Christmas has different teams in it now as well - glitch ?

West - they have 2 excellent players and some solid role players but as said above, there are a lot f games to go and there's not much between the top 4 when they have everyone available.

As for the missing round 10. I heard that round 10 was being cancelled and the earlier missed round 7 was being played in its place based on getting seeding right for state champs. That round 10 results have gone into what was the cancelled round 7 seems to support that.

I think it's awesome to see! i love the success coming out of the girls program at West. Their under 12 and under 14 sides are also extremely good and very well coached.

state champ seeding are based on - 10 team comp after round 9 - provided everyone has played each other once. In an 9,8,7 or 6 team comp - it is after everyone has played each other once - so seeding in dome girls grades Div 1 - state champ seedings may be done earlier provided everyone played each other. If everyone doesn't play each other until round 12 seedings are done then. Cant understand your logic putting round 10 into cancelled round 7 - as the results from these teams have not been achieved to work out seedlings. If they replaced round 10 with round 7 that would allow a result to be achieved and they everyone would have played each other once for correct seedings. Everyone must have played each other once before seedings can be accurate - and then it goes on ladder position.

The second part that you wrote is effectively what is happening. Consider rnd 10 to not be happening as it was previously scheduled. The results page now shows games that were to be played in rnd 10 are now rnd 7 with "result" next to each team. The round 7 games are to be played in rnd 10 and are counted for state champs seedings.
My understanding is that BSA informed the clubs of this change prior to Christmas.

As for the original post, on rereading it feels like a troll. You haven't been in SA for awhile but Wests roster on paper looks like definitely the best team? Based on what if you haven't been here?
West were an excellent team last season as well, and if not for a subjective coaching decision and an awesome shot from one of Sturts guards, they'd have played in the final.
It's a very different season to last and should make for a competitive state champs.

Seedlings won't matter. West have won U18 div 1 girls already apparently.
May be true! But Sturt will be there - many state players in that squad and very well coached. Eagles will be too tired from playing PL, South too young and Centrals yet to show their true colours - the Smokey.
To the OP. If you know the squad you know the coach - a good coach with a fair bit to learn yet, but putting in an enormous effort. So cut the crap.
As for the team. Yes plenty of talent but not sure of the synergies. Will soon find out.

If they hadn't pick up Centrals really good kid they would be average.

Interesting reading this now. Eagles vs south gf is an interesting outcome noting how well the top 5 played in interstate tournaments this year. Kind of blessed with how tight the competition is in this age group.
