talkin out your arse mate, theres a legit guy who already did a review... get this rubbish off here

They're kinda funny. Wheres your sense of humour?
Good to see the proper preview, power rankings though.

Stop guessing why players miss games and do some research , it's not hard

Sturt to beat the Bearcats. Sturt adding Mudronja/Carter & Kubank in Gold Coast on a holiday with the missus. Sturt by 11.

Which is wrong? Sorry I don't have a pipeline to every club.

You've only mentioned one player missing champ

Give it a break, its not the New York times, cant expect someone to call around and find out about every player, especially a dud like Perry who's always injured.

All I know about that is he went home in their break and didn't play last week. Fair to ask the question?

Perry injured himself in the first 30 seconds of his last game.

#118, you're a fuckwit

How's a prediction being a fuckwit?

Sturt don't have a chance unless Rawson or Klaosen go off. Mudronja doesn't move the needle that much.

Kubank not in GC, he's in Brisbane for Bullets workout. Won't be back for game I assume.

Tigers 20+ over a terrible but same as usual no change Mavs
Women's game will be good here tho
A few ex Mavs players playing

You're all wrong about everything and I know more than that other guy
Also my club is better than yours

Some big results tonight. My Gambier by more than 50 over lions and Rockets by 30 + over Norwood.

Did anyone see that game. Is Norwoods lack of depth now catching up with them or are Rockets that good?

Norwood overachieved early, close wins vs north, mt gambier and forestville, now they're coming back to earth. Moultrie hasn't really given that true big they were lacking. Vice versa has taken North a bit to get together with all their major additions, now it looks like the chemistry is coming good.
Centrals season has been a mirage, beaten Sturt, Eastern, South and Woodville as expected. Looked like a huge win against West but they've turned into this year's biggest underachievers. Then taken Riewer hitting 8 from 8 3s vs Norwood to upset them. Despite picking up really good players in off season in Diing and Luk they've just relied on talent to beat bottom dwellers. And most of first half of season been home games, expect 2nd half to get real ugly for them, defensively they've been terrible giving up over 100 multiple times. Looking at stats tonight the comparison in rebounds, turnovers and steals amazing, even though pioneers true contenders.Top 5 is now set.

Mavs here is some advice get rid of Warhurst now before he creates more damage. Mavs are are a wreck and getting progressively worse.

This is all well and good but have you ever had a man?

Rockets vs Norwood games turned into shambles as the refs completely dominated the match. Felt like there was 100 fouls called. It was really exciting game with a lot of athleticism on display. It was single digits for a lot of it until Brine received his final trash call and subsequently fouled out. Disappointing as we want to see the best players play. Had the makings to be a real solid game all the way to the end. Solid win for North in the end

22 fouls to 27. 6 of Norwoods were technicals though lol

Refs were not great at all, north adjusted and norwood lost the plot.
Way too many techs given out, powertripping refs.

Not sure what happened between the game against Forestville and now because they got every single call that game

Norwood vs rockets was looking to be a fantastic game and it was really close for the first half.

Unfortunately the foul calling was very inconsistent and hard to play around, they'd let a lot of contact slide but then randomly pick someone up on a really soft foul.
Brine received a lot of these calls and was forced out of the game easy making the defensive presence lack very heavily.

Once BJ got ejected it spiralled into chaos with the refs handing technicals out one after the other until they felt they had control of the game which they never seemed to get.

Could have been a great game had some things gone differently very unfortunate.

I wouldn’t count Norwood out, they have some redemption games coming up and will need to fight their way back into the season in order to be respected.

Norwood are done. Count them out.
Overachieved early.

You're obviously very knowledgeable, no point arguing with you mr genius.

Norwood people, always good for a laugh.

How good was Rigby Alphabet getting the wine last night?!?

While they may have been good servants for Norwood the Webber brothers need to either retire or become players off the bench.

Their output does not warrant the time they get especially on Saturday against the Rockets. They played over 60 minutes combined for negligible points, rebounds or assists

Norwood will not climb the rankings with their lack of depth which they try to cover by giving unwarranted minutes to these two

Not good servants of the game.

Refs continued to ruin games today at Wayville. Forestville on the good end of a 28-14 count. Bruce's Northcote take a bowel handing out the majority!

KB tried to change the culture when he was there, thing is the Webbers have way too much power. Cooper had the respect to keep them in line when he coached, now they can do what they want. Always have respected the way they play, hard and with passion. Sometimes goes over the line but they always get under the skin of opponents. But who replaces them? Uche if he comes back would but God knows where he will end up. Jordy Wilson is a great reserves player but mainly a scorer so his best position will always be a backup. And juniors always hit a roadblock in 18s so doubt it will come from within soon.
As mentioned previously, KB was looking to phase them slowly out and look where that got him. Willie wasn't in their plans, apparently there was something to do with their nephew not getting a high div so they basically created a new role and kicked him to the curb.

West Adelaide fought the good fight tonight. Forestville too much even without Deng

Good fight??? What about all their other losses, they are truly terrible this year. Biggest disappointment of the year.

Outcoached, if putting the most talented team on court is coaching then Andy is a mastermind.

West go three deep

Norwood only go three deep too

Forestville look very vulnerable without Majok Deng. If he leaves before the finals, I'd say Pioneers will take it out.

I think both Forestville and Pioneers need to look over their shoulders as North is getting its act together. However it shakes out finals this year will be exciting

Mt. Gambier/North Adelaide grand final. North maybe to win because of deeper bench, but it will be close.

Mt Gambier, full strength Forestville. Guard play important and North have choked recently numerous times.

Forestville hardly did themselves any favours with their gf effort last year if you want to talk about choking.

Definitely not an eagles fan but if you remember the Semi that got them into the GF vs North. Now that's some high level choking by North there!!! What was it, up by 2 with 2 foul shots and seconds on the clock if memory serves, CJ then lost it.

Centrals are pulling together and really working well as a team now. Just some unlucky games, they'll play in the finals against the cheatgles.

Centrals v forestville and centrals will take it with superior shooting from 3.

Centrals averaging what, 35 point losses to the Eagles this year. Couldn't beat their bench, let alone get close when they didn’t have Majok.

Yeah Central's aint it. Wheels falling off.

How does one win player of the week when their team loses by 27?

These POTW this season have been for the most part.... Very questionable.

28/17/3 in a 27 point loss - POTW winner

or 36/11/4 in a 29 point win

or 30/7/7 in a 27 point win

or 29/17/4 in a 25 point win

"Questionable" is one way to put it.

The one week they don't make it a "most popular" vote and they completely screw up. Can’t even blame it on being a “most popular” vote for once.

Have to give Centrals something, women not winning a game all year despite paying BIG money for KB and Boone and wheels completely falling off for men, absolutely embarrassing loss at the mount. Despite hype have only beaten good side in Norwood with lots of home games. Expect Norwood to inflict some revenge this week, young team will fall apart I'm predicting, very little structure both sides of ball. Relying on their talented African kids to score individually, confidence could really hit lows in coming weeks. No way in he'll they compete for final playoff spot, will be trying hard to beat Woodville, Sturt and South with no inside game.

If it's the same dudes choosing POTW as who does the write ups on the PL website, it's understandable. They are not basketball minds yet and still learning the trade. I wouldn't be too hard on them and any player who gets worked up on not being POTR when they think they should be, should take a hard look at themselves. Be more concerned whether your team won or lost and how you can get better. And if you're really legit don't read anything, period!

Anon, perhaps you could do a weekly post telling folks what should be important to them and how they should feel.

Why? If they are focussed they'd never read it. ;)

If the people choosing the awards aren't "basketball minds", then maybe they shouldn't be selecting them...

Maybe someone who works at Basketball SA has a "basketball mind". If not, then find one.

Trainee journos at best.
