Sturt ABL Men Squad

Oscar Forman F/C
Todd Gower F
Marcus Hakendorf G/F
Darren Ng G
Paul Bauer G
David Shepherd G
Scott Palmer G/F
Tom Finkemeyer C
Marcus Ng G
Jordan Dodman F/C
Mark Paget F/C
Mark Bauer G
Nathan Vaughn G
Michael Humphrys G
Shane Brehney F/C
Todd Smythe G
Nick Tam G/F

Out of this squad I would start the following:

5 - Dodman 6ft9
4 - Gower 6ft6
3 - Forman 6ft9
2 - Ng 6ft2
1 - Bauer 6ft0

Darren Ng 6f2i?

WTF - in high heels ???? sounds like sturts game..

youve only named 6 for southerns womens team. who are the others that fill the line up?

where is slick rick going?

slick rick castle announced he accepted a coaching position in New Zealand at Sturts Presentation night a couple weeks back.

would that mean Forman will end up in New Zealand league instead of local ABL?

How do people think Sturt will go if that scenario happens?

that will leave a huge hole at both ends of the court. Any thoughts on potential replacements

good point, which level will Castle be coaching?

It is a big move from here to there (obvious), is the whole move relatedto work or purely a move as a coach striving towards a bigger slice.

Surely, a move like that means some kind of contract at a reasonable level is on offer.

Just stirring the pot a little to see who bites and hopefully extract more info.

Now that I'm back in the town, I'd like to let you all know that I will be the starting Point guard for the Tigers.

I've been in training!Sitting at my desk, and eating bags of chips for months!

I heard Forman wasn't playing in this state next year.. I'm sure he's at the stage where he can earn more money elsewhere (a lot more). Isaac where are you???
South will suit up Scans, JB, Scott Thur, Luke Frost, Big Agel, Aaron Lockyer, Matt Davies, Lucas Smith (back from overseas), Neil someone (new PG quickest guy in league), Doug Hudson, Steve Williams, Stuart Campbell, Tom McKenzie, Truck (Adam Blight)... thais it I think. PIlks is going overseas

FOR THE LAST TIME MACUS IS PLAYING AT STURT WITH DARRAN THIS YEAR!!!! he has gone, hasnt been at a woodville training or game this season. if he shows up in the new year i will be very suprised, but as far as i no, and the rest of the club is concerend , he is gone. not a rumor its fact.

Oscar to the Pioneers? I heard they were after Jacob Holmes too. Strewth - could be a fair lineup if these guys come down. Tell Reesy to join us - the trophies are too expensive down here!

throw danny kozmider onto the south list

Tick Tick Tick...
whiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ahhh, the soothing sounds of the rumour mill cranking up again.

The season is months away people - watch this space for dozens more changes.

To be honest, I think Oscar would be stupid to stay in this league. No offence but the interstate or overseas leagues are a lot better and a team can pay you a half decent salary. If the Big O wants to continue to better himself then he needs new challenges. He proved last year how much of a stand out player he is, why not try it on in a better league? Obviously Jacob did it last year and I think this year he has continued to improve. It's the obvious next step for O.
Mount Gambier is calling big fella....

yes run away big oscar, do us all a favour!

what about a sabrette squad

laura will no doubt go wnba way - but she will have to work hard - but i reckon connecticut have a two player deal thinking erin and laura


marino?
langford?
mcphail?
beaumont?
pitt?

all godd players capable of abl

i dont know about godd players although most sturt people do think their gods

Gower has grown aswell 6´6", maybe in high heels. Or did he measure himself with his trusty left arm.

FWIW, the NBL site says 196/6'5". I think "Toddler" should be his new nickname, though I'm still partial to "The Difference".

I will come out and say now that the 6 i keep naming for Southern Women will all be on the roster next season - there are 4-6 other spaces there.

by the way, anonymous (#61857) - of course its all speculative - thats the point!

Pickles Housemate is correct - the 6 players named in the Southern lineup are all signed, sealed and delivered.

The "problems" with the previous South coach obviously was not with those who wanted to get on and play basketball - they have all moved to Southern so they can do just that. The rest can continue to whinge and whine and maybe find a few suckers who are prepared to put up with them - who knows they may even find time to actually focus on a game of basketball.

was that Gower as 6'5... BS

Perhaps Southern have over recruited?

Norwood

Ottey
Bell
Foster
Sapwell
Lampshire
Grantham
Webber
Jones
Papendiek
Barker
Ford
Uzynski
Cooper??

Hope I havent missed anyone.

What about yourself osama bin loman

pitt - Regan plays for Mavs and I highly doubt she would play at Sturt even thught she coaches 12G1. But her younger sister may - but hasnt played seinors over the summer

mcphail - will play if she can get cleared by BA & that wont effect a college gig for next year. Wont play over the bowleys but will back them up if they are in foul trouble, can play inside or outside.

beaumont - has improved at this level over the summer and gives a lot of speed and agression to this group.

others to watch out for:
christina kockinakis
kara hargraves
Rhanna vehlow

Toddler knuckles scrape the ground whem he walks, so his height probably does not matter that much.
Lommax is Sapwell playing this season and Tom Coffi (U/20) is not on your list.

As far as I know Sappa is playing, however I have heard that Sappa may just coach. I guess it depends on who he recruits.

Yep forgot Cioffi

what about you Lommax? Retirement? Why summer and no winter?

'The difference' is that refering to the diffence between a dirty car and a clean one?? i have not seen gower make any other major differences.

Leave me alone D Brent! Your not funny.

over the past few years, Southern Juniors havent had a solid base of skill/talent to learn from - good juniors have had to take on senior roles and play senior minutes without having players to further develop their own games from. This season younger players will benefit from the added intensity and leadership of experienced players. I think it is a neccessary move for Southern to make. Unfortunately some 2005 players may find their isnt a spot for them on the roster. Hopefully they suck it up and remain a valuable part of the whole senior program.

southern woman who cares

ivor i love u

I take it big JAZ is not suiting up for West in the ABL again. It is a pity a man of his size, skill and flexibilty is lost to playing div 3. There isnt an honest person reading this that could deny that Jarod would be in the best 8 players for any ABL team.

you forgot one thing about Jaz - the attitude (I've had him described to me by 2 of his teammates that he is 'uncoachable') and we'll see how good that norwood lineup is tonight...

southern women definitely needed to recruit but welcomng the entire mass exodus from south was too much. they only needed a decent centre and probably one other player. Those south girls combined with the best player in the league couldn't win a championship, what makes people think they will win one at southern?? i think they may find it difficult to gel as a team.. only time will tell..

I think that the problems with jazz were more personal than bball with him and the west coaches. He always just wanted to win when we were growing up. Look at what west has had and turned to shit, Brad Philp, Nick Brewer, Jamie G, Patty Jenko, Younie and even stuffing around Cioffi. All made multiple state sides and all wouldve played abl for years together.

Lets get our facts straight there is not a mass exodus from south! Only 3 players played last year. Colleen, Bec and Tracey. The other's have either had time off or in Olivia's case she is coming from the Canberra Nationals that play in the warrath abl. As for winning a title thats up to however makes the team to do there best and the players that don't can watch from the sidelines. Thats life!

I'll start some crap even though i don't know what I'm talking about here but is my tip at who will stay at southern. Tammy Birbeck, Gillian Hendrie and Kate Burkevics. Thats my tip. The rest up in the air!

Norwood team did alright last night lockstock ;-)
Hopefully the 2's can back it up tonight.

Younie is a good player, having played against him a few times in div 3, I think he should be given a chance to get back to ABL somewhere even if not west. I also think he is a similar type player to crothers in that he has the physique and the power to bump players around and influence his teams aggression towards the opposition. Maybe that plays to his disadvantage to some extent.

He's nothing like Crusher!

Crothers Plays for his team, Younie plays for himself.

norwood too good last night, loss of Stevie won't help tonight but we'll put in a better show than last night. Good luck

Im sure Younie would like to be coached by someone who has at least played the game and has confidence in their own rotations. For someone who has already won plenty of individual awards, team success is what matters. he plays for the team win, not for the stats.

Bullshit artist, if you're going to ask me to get my facts right, can you not molest the English languauge in the process of doing so. Anyway I thnk you'll find that the players that you are talking about were still from South reguardless of whether they had time off or not...

Good job your not playing then isnt it!

South Trials Sunday, January 8, Southern Trials January 9... Things will really hot up on here after that!

Who is lining up for south men next season, is the same squad playing again?

who is in the south girls line up for next year and where do you think they will finish.

Vicki Kelson will head South's lineup next year but apart from Kylie Evans she doesn't have any real support. Jenni Carberry is a couple of years past her best and although they try hard, their bench players are a long way from genuine starting 5 talent.

If the rumours are true and they pick up Sarah Peddle, she could add value to the side.

Glen definitely has the gift of the gab but he is yet to prove any serious value as a coach.

A long year ahead for the panthers unfortunately.

Is that right! Anyone else confirm this? What was his reasons??? If ya need a team big boy, let me know!

I once heard someone call Younie a complete waste of space. Having seen him play, I agree that he plays only for himself and does not seem to realise there are 4 other players on court. He just doesnt have the discipline for the game at this level. Cant ever imagine him back in the west aba lineup, nor any other club.

My Sources have told me you can add NERRIDA COOPER to Southern for ABL 2006

Doug is a perfect starting centre for them he is totally defensively orientated and he can shut any big guy in the league out. They don't need any more scorers.

yes Pero or Reesey, great options.....it did them well two years ago.....salary/sponsors cap anyone?????????

Forestville don't need to worry about the salary cap.

Matt Sutton doesn't get paid to play, he gets 5K+ to do Aussie Hoops.

Jason Dix gets "paid" to "work" in the bar.

So they still have their 15K+ to spend on the rest of their team.

Or they can just pay them to "do clinics" or "work in the bar" and get aid for that.

Ryan you dick head

Quick all Southern female juniors you had betta leave cuase your senior womens team is going to be to good. You had betta go to south or some where cause even though your only 14 there's no room for you in the team for the next couple of years. Oh my god I had betta go just because some wanker on Hoops tells me to. Whoever keeps writting this crap on this site is a complete and utter tool!

Queenprick,
It was you who screwed things up...

Apparently there were at least 15 U16 or u18 girls out to Southern ABA trials.

Southern now has some seasoned experienced players to choose from, who will provide the base for a successful team through which Southern juniors Who you're telling to leave) can actually learn and develop from, rather than be thrust into the ABL team and told to do their best.

Logically, as players become pregnant, marry and move away, etc spots will open up. The challenge is for the other players at the club to look at themselves and further develop their individual game.

There are many reasons why Southern has been able to recruit so well - having a coach who's well-respected by ex-players is a start.

Feel free to reply, but at least have the guts to put some name to it..

pickles housemate stands by the 191 comments made, rather than hiding behind random 'anonymous' attacks.

Glenn Shaw is South Women's ABA coach - dunno the Mens.

aren't you also hiding behind a nickname (as am i)

Kelly manning has the job again for the men

No - i don't consider "greenback" to be hiding behind a name, provided you're willing to stand by the comments you make as "greenback", and not change alias - which is what i was discussing in my post.

You are all talking about the big teams yet you forgot aboput the dark horses Eastern. Rumours say that hill and Holmes are playing this year. and apparraently Benson is ther.

South women are rumoured to have a couple of imports from Canada Chloe from Norwood and Taya from Woodville and were after a WNBL player and Sarah from Southern.
Norwood are rumoured to have Angela from Sturt.

Mr Hankie, they don't have Sarah.

mmm, South don't have anyone... I wonder who's gonna inbound the ball to vikki?

Southern men have lost hobo to woodville>

Southern men will be ordinary. If they have lost hobo then that will hurt them more.

No axe... this is about ABL rosters.

1 - An "anonymous" replied to my statement about South not having Sarah Peddle.
2 - (...Believing it was someone from South)I replied.
3 - How does this affect you unless you were the "anonymous"...???
4 - I wasn't unaware that i was grinding an axe, just "doing unto others".
5 - Have a nice day. :)

No In The Know Southerm men will not be ordinary. They have pick up some very good recuit's. So they will be around the mark but I'm sad to see hobo go. Good luck to him and hope he does well.

So who have they picked up apart from the big guy?

In the know - the only thing they will lose from Hobo leaving is they won't see this girlfriend at their games until they play the green and gold - Southern's bigs are looking better already

Such as?

Thats a hash 4th in line.

Sorry about the typo for all you teachers out there. I meant harsh but hash is good as well.

Dan lalic is more than capable of filling the departure of Hoban excellent at sealing in the post and able to catch all sorts of passes.

southern have some excellent junior boys so it would be good to see some of them get a run this year.

And who would that be?

Forestville Eagles starting 7 this year:

Belinda Treadwell
Jenny Screen
Narelle Lindsay
Sherie Smith
D Randford

Coach - Sharon Simmons
no need for any other bench players on a team like this, coach can help out if required.

By the way does anyone know if Michele Whithead is playing for Mavs or umpiring? as she is on the list above but I thought she was a Aba umpire..???

poses the question can you do both?

with a team that was listed for forestville. they will have too many restricted wnbl players. there were 4 listed. i thought you were only alowd 2 in a team?

Correct and they also have the Irish one in the mix if she comes back from Townsville???

I would say they would keep there juniors and move on D, and Screeny

They would come in handy with big money @ Centrals or Woodville

Keep the comp a little more even

Lindsay was not a forestville junior.

Hankie Spanky you are on the ball
Lindsay was a Tiger, but that was long long ago, and has been a Eagle for much longer than D or J.

Can't you read what you wrote Bear or do you need your glasses checked? You said "they will keep there juniors". The fact is the other's you say in your post are not Forestville juniors. In fact they have very few forestville juniors in there team! But yes you are correct all the players you have said have played for them for a while now.

in the know, players such as Dan lalic, Rhino, Sam Hemmings, Michael Florance, Phil Brown.

Atleast a couple of them should be getting some minutes this year dont you think?

Agreed pickles. Would think they will get time. They surely are Southerns future men's program.

michelle w whould probably favour her umpiring above playing if she had to make a choice but at the moment i dont see that she does.

I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing her well in whatever choice she makes.

Unfortunately I agree with Anon above in saying i dont think too many ABA coaches would like her umpiring games in the competition she plays in.

I don't for one minute doubt her impartiality, but i wouldn't want to give anyone the chance to make that accusation.

In lower standard competition, it doesn't matter so much, but at ABA level the stakes are reasonable high.

Again, all the best.

good on taya to south - they get a good deal there and a coach that offers individual one on ones and a team plan, free gym membership and other freebies.

Surely some other punters should be willing to lay down their bets on their own clubs ABL rosters?

mmm, thanks for that. :)

Anyone else?

Joel Goodenough is playing for Southern Tigers men this year!

Take it easy Kinghorn.

Who is Sam?

Is it ABL or ABA in NSW?.
