I'll take a stab at it:

Craddock, Seebohm, Rowe, Clausen, Dodman.

I could be completely off base since I've not seen them (someone playing against them at Millicent may be able to give us an idea?) but that's who I imagine would be starting.

small team there Hoop Addict. Don't think they'd want another big inplace of either rowe/craddock to help out dodman?

----

You'd think a player at the tut, seebs, would start, but he is only a 1st year.

Dodman would have to start simply coz of size (and that he's training with the sixers wouldn't hurt)

Clausen had a great ABL season last year, but haven't seen him play since. Unless he's un-improved (is that even a word? i don't think so...) got worse, he'd start.

which leave a big spot and a guard spot open.

I'd say molitor would slot into the four, and have to play bigger than he'd like, and add craddock into the 2 spot.

therefore

1- Seebs
2- Rory
3- Clausen
4- Molitor
5- Dodman

pity about jingles...

The bloke on the ship that wears the funny hat!

The starting five will be
Kies
Craddock
Rowe
Lalic
Dodman

Trust me on this...

Seebohm hardly trained with the team and Clausen is being used more as a spark plug off the bench.

Molitor won't start because Rowe is the team's defensive stopper, with Kies running the show and Craddock the main perimeter scoring option.

The team would definitely start big with Lalic and Dodmnan. The best thing abuot this team is that Seebohm and Clausen can come in for any starter and still provide a balanced five.

Bank on it baby!

If there's a Skipper, Gilligan's gotta be in the squad too!!!

Hurley
Craddock
Rowe
Lalic
Dodman

what about the girls who starting five.

clausen starting and main scorer, takin over from ingles in the three spot!!!!! looking for a big tournament.

Who's the nerdy professor?

I think Ginger's on the bench. Wonder if she does rub-downs?

If anyone has results or game stories of this tournament lets hear them

this will take you to the championships game schedule pages SA Men play today at 11am vs ACT (I'm assuming thats perth time,,so about 1.30pm here?) Women are playing Vic at 3.30 (6pm..here)

See from that site SA def ACT 97-77. Don't suppose there's a box score available anywhere.

First results in - State men beat ACT by around 20 today. Women playing this evening.

I stand corrected. I am still wiping the egg from my face. Well done to those who selected the correct five.

Just quietly, why didn't Kies start??

The team obviously needs a point guard. Kies had four steals and two turnovers compared to Craddock's one steal and 7 turnovers!!

I think they're basically going on the theory that Shannon & Rory are both half PG's. I wouldn't really say Kies is a pure point, either.

I notice that Lalic started in place of Dodman in the 2nd game, but at least I got the 1st game right ;).

Nice win by the boys over a pretty sub-standard Vic side. What has happened to virtually their entire starting 5 from 16s & 18s?

QLD will be the big test, to be played tomorrow.

Forgive my ignorance - What is the Ivor Burge category ?

It's the intellectually disabled national championships.

Ok thanks Hoop Addict

I think NSW have just taken the title of favourites away from QLD with a 29 point win over them! Stephen Weigh had 27 of QLD's 56 points. Ouch.

SA men play NSW on Thursday. They had a nice win over Tassie today. QLD/WA double header tomorrow for the boys, if they win both they'll be in line to make the medal rounds.
