Is it just me or are they only three games into the season? They haven't exactly been thrashed by weak teams or anything, right?

Being thrashed on not is not the point. Its still a loss, and its gonna keep happening, mark my words.

Everyone looses for goodness sake. you have to accept that some time your team won't do well. No one stays good forever.

They wont do well until they start playing like a team. Look at Dandenong,and they will probably make it 3 from 3. Malcom Blight always said if its not working try something different. Maybe LucaS SHOULD think of that because its a bloody long season, and if they wont to make finals they should really look at that, and the coach will be out of a job!!!!!

Have I missed something?

Why all the harping on them not playing as a team? Are they really playing that individually? Or is this just the excuse everyone is using for the early loses.

Your right they probably just arent good enough

You R right. They are a young team, and they do need to get to know each other, so that they can all step up and not just depend on screen and philips. Maybe its the coach who isnt good enough. Only time will tell!!!!!

Who cares whether they win or lose anyway. Mens basketball is the only one that counts. The womens comp is second rate

Steve, Anon, Anonymous -- you obviously don't like the coach, we get it, but can you just stick with one name, and try not to harp on about it?

It's a bit obvious and tedious.

Hope your right. But it will be interesting, and by the way havent they been to semi finsals for the last 13 years. It getting a bit tiring. Ive been waiting that long, and Id really like to see a grand final for a change. Call me pessimistic but Im sick of waiting. I hope Im wrong but only time will tell

They need to talk to the 6rs. I can beleive they one by a point again

Steve's wife/daughter/sister hasn't been getting enough playing time clearly.

Give Lucas a break. His track record thus far is good.

If you feel the coach needs to do something different he can start by signing the 26 year old with 200 games experience who is wanting to play.

Especialy since there are guards in the team who are not performing off the bench.

Otherwise they look like they will be around the mark this season.

who the?

I assume he means Narelle Lindsay.

If Lucas knows what's good for him he will make a change. Why not try Melbourne girl, Lorenzinni who has been a part of a back to back championship team in Dandenong and drop Seaward whos performance and numbers have been shocking for an experienced guard. If she isn't dropped than politics plays a huge factor!!!
Ranford needs to step up too!!

Its gonna be interesting. Also what abut the Bowley sisters. I know Monique is injured but what about the other 2. I dont think they have had a run yet, and they are both strong.

Hanna has been cut, and Bridget isn't a guard and not needed. Either is Monique. I believe that seaward needs to be replaced to.I wonder how selection works for the Fellas.

if they want to get back to their winning ways maybe they go back to a winning name - lightning.

Hey (#53722) I don't think you would consider Lorezinni a huge contributor to what Dandy achieved.

She also sat most of the later part of the SEABL season with Nunawading on the bench...

Still Chimbu, at least she has had the experiance with Dandy, which i can't say for a lot of the Fellas. Also i think we need to make some changes and we need to see what the girl can do. I think we also need to give the Brigid ago to see what she can do, they can't run with the same team week after week and keep losing and not trying out the other girls that are in the squad.

I agree with you Fred, if that is your real name....
Girls need to be given the opportunity to prove themsleves and just can't keep sitting on the bench when the team isn't playing too well. Also i watched the game on Saturday and it wasn't pretty and i think the girls are going to struggle this weekend against Sydney if changes aren't made.....

I didn't mean to say don't give her a go, but, don't suggest that just beacause she was at Dandneong she deserves one...if she is better than the other options play her...

Only one way to find out isn't there.

Anonymous, He is paid to do those sessions. The way he play mind games with everyone is one reason why people dislike him. I also say it is too early to say whether they are struggling or not, but it isn't looking good.

The sixers went 0-5 a couple of season back. Were people calling for Phil's head, NO. The Fellas are 1-2 big deal. In a couple of weeks they could be 5-2.

To those who have replied to the originator's comments, questioning the validity of the negativity, well done!! How someone can criticise performances thus far after a home win, an away loss to the current title holders ( fellas won in the second half ).
Add to that, backing up away against a quality team that has been together for four years, to go down by 2 in overtime, does not smack of a team in total dissaray. This TEAM is well prepared by it's coaching staff and has shown a true fighting spirit already this season. They will continue with this spirit irrelevant of final outcomes.
Do yourself a favour and get behind EVERY MEMBER OF THE WHOLE TEAM!!
