nutter,

State champion club was one of the clubs that you weren't good enough to play div 1 at.

Sorry that doesn't really cut it down by much.

It was a Sabre Slam.

oh we're from bearcat land
the fighting fury we're from bearcat land
in any contest we'll be hard and we'll be mean (hey), playing for the team
When things get tight, we'll scratch and bite and snarll and fight to win
oh were from bearcat land (boom boom boom boom), we'll never quit until the final sirens' gone!!!!
just like the bearcats of OLD.. We're strong and were BOLD...
Oh we're from BEARCAT... THE RED AND THE BLACK....
OH WE'RE FROM BEEAARRRCCCAAATTTT LLLLAAAANNNNDDDDDDDDDD

Love it! Great job Sturt and West boys for an online "club song"!!

Best game of the weekend (sorry to 20 boys final!) - U12 boys final. Super game!!
An absolute nail-baiter, great job to Owen Green and the Southern boys who took it right up to a very, very good team. Well done to the Sturt boys too for showing "some sort" of composure down the stretch of a tight game - something they hadn't experienced all year. Also well done to a loud group of parents - all should be proud as all boys played hard and fair.
To Owen and Paul, well done.

Again, another dominant performance from the Sabres.

When will the other clubs work out that they will not compete with the Sturt whilst Sturt puts more effort into their junior program. Looks like the rotatnio policy for coaching is converting into total dominance.

I wonder is some people still believe that this is just some sort of cyclical effect. Especially considering Sturt do not have any consestion from BASA. Or whether they are ready to conseed that it is hard work and commitment that gets it done.

Anon (81617),

Obviously their in club efforts do play an important part in their achievements. But at the same time I also believe there is some degree of cyclical nature to the results. If they have the perect solution then you would assume that all grades would dominate particularly at the younger age groups. In the girls they "failed" to make the U12/18/21 GF's. If the system is so good why does it seem to come through much better on the boys side. It might be the cyclical nature of the talent coming through...or at least we can hope!

Well done Sturt, #1 again. We have proven time and again why we are ranked the #1 club in the state. The coaching and dedication shown at all levels of the club prove we are in deed the champion club.

Can I please say that some (NOT ALL BUT A SMALL GROUP OF 4 FATHERS) Sturt parents should be ashamed of the way they represented themselves and our club at Wayville yesterday. To anyone from any other club that took offence at these regular morons I hope you understand that 99% of parents at Sturt are not represented by these "fathers".

The team that these "fathers" are involved with put in a flawless performance yesterday and will take out the national title (they are that good); however these "fathers" should take a long hard look at the way their girls won with grace and dignity and actually learn from their children. I am not directly involved in their particular age group, but most at our club will know who I am talking about.

Well done the Blue baggers. Keep your eye on the old double blues!

Why is it that in order to make yourselves seem better you sturt people must mock the other clubs?

It is demeaning and gives rise to the ill feeling many have for what is a great sa club.

By all means crow about your exc results,but comments like:
"When will the other clubs work out that they will not compete with the Sturt whilst Sturt puts more effort into their junior program" are inapropriate in this day and age.
All clubs are different and should remain so!
I reckon the North result is very good, If they continue to improve Nwd will struggle to keep a pace.


I would expect forrestville to be a little disapointed in their reults though!!

Sturt dads are nothing on the woodville u/14 girls parents that cheated on the score sheet at port adelaide yesterday!!
Umpire had to be called across , apparently parent forgot to mark 3 fouls on the score sheet in the last quarter!!!(all woodville fouls)

Not the first time either!!

Nth and nwd draw from sme areas. so as one goes up...

Not to detract from the emotion and the win by West yesterday but i've always felt that the "club song" was something best left to footy teams where i believe it is more traditional.

Woftam

I think it wiuld be hard not to be caught up in the excitement of that team.
As a parent they would be very proud and that may spill over at times.
I think they are good people really.

Did they sing the song in the rooms or on the court?

Who says that a club song has to be a football tradition. A couple of clubs have taken a great morale boosting and team bonding concept and applied it to basketball I say good on them. I'm not sure what the case was on the weekend but singing the song should be left for the changerooms only.

In reply to woftam 81620. I agree that all clubs have some parents that need to take a chill pill and get over the fact that we are dealing with JUNIOR sports.

The point I am making is that our club have a cartell of 2-4 dads in a particular junior age group that do the same kind of thing MOST of the time. I (thankfully) only have to cross their path 2-3 times a year, normally at carnivals, but you normally know were thay are sitting as soon as you hit the stadium.

As a mother of 2 small children under the age of 6 why do I or any other supporters have to constantly put up with this sort of behaviour. I was so concerned that I had to move from the general vicinity of these fathers as my youngest son was upset, by morons from our own club, barraking for the same team as us. What is wrong with these so called "men"?

I was sure that 1 or 2 parents from the "other club" where going to say somthing to these 4 morons, but to my astonishment & their credit they did not say a word.

These "gentlemen" need to take their kind of "support" to the local rugby or football game where it belongs.

Our girls won this particular match, and won it well. It dissapoints me to say it but the other teams parents walked out of Wayville with their Pride intact and heads held high.

To the 4 fathers in question at Wayville last night. You have a great bunch of girls with talent to burn. Please, for the clubs & your daughters sake try to show some humility in winning, even if you have to fake it. It is amazing how quickly the tide can & one day will turn on you.

Why would a wife sit and listen to her husband carry on like this?

Ouch!!!

Unbelievable that a bunch of Forrestville people would feel the need to come onto this site and have a go at a bunch of parents for cheering.

Well considering who their coach is and who the parents of that team are it's not that hard to understand. Also that there has long been a rivalry shows that that Forrestville group are bad losers. Maybe you guys need to take the high road and not act like a bunch of wingers on a forum.

Sour grapes, taste the same any way you try to eat them.

The Forrestville crowd was loud on their first basket and I for one do not doubt that it would have continued had they been leading.

Couldn't agree more, bearcat lova!
Fantastic to here that is there first one. I would love my teams to do it after a win, but wouldn't want to offend.

81719

Read the thread more carefully before you post. The criticism seems to be coming from concerned Sturt people (81620, 81676, 81694).

I have witnessed these four pillars of the community. I do hope they are travelling to Melbourne and Sturt has a slip up coz it will be square up time big time.

Thats funny #81719. I was at the game in question and the only people that made idiots of themselves was a very small bunch of men hooting & hollaring for Sturt who at their age should have known better.

It was clearly their intention to stick it up the Eagles girls on court (brave seeing how they were 12 y.o girls)and all eagles parents watching within earshot. Im 100% positive that eagles parents were not impressed, but did not see or hear any comments directed to the 4 knobheads.

Who ever the brave fathers were, are u proad of yourselves now? I can honestly say u were a disgrace to your club, your daughters team and your families.

An earlier post said it all. Take a leaf out of your daughters books and act as they did on the court.

Proffesionally

Here, here Talbot.

It easy for an opposition supporter to claim "sour grapes" to a team that they so comprehensivly beat; however I have not read 1 post on here from an eagles supporter or parent bagging your girls.

Put on your glasses and actually read some posts Mr #81719, supporter of the year.

I think the sour grapes were directed at you from within your own club!!!!!

The under 14 div 1 Sturt girls did an awsome job & will more than likley continue to do so in the future. We will definatley be watching some of these girls play for their state & possibly Aust in the future. Its a pity that such a fine team is let down by the one factor they cant control.... Ugly Parent Syndrome.

Take a look at yourself blondy. You are a disgrace.

Poster 81719....Have a good read, most of the critism is coming from your own club, and it even seems from players in your own team. Pull your heads you over the top parents !!!

Seems there is a major rivalry here, in the u/14's.
Didn't these girls all play together at the Primary nationals last year?
Thought you'd all be friends!!


You will be playing in state teams together very soon!!

I think we get the general idea. Why don't we move on and discuss something else. Slagging off in a public forum is just as bad as in a packed stadium.

Double ouch!!!!!!!!

I must reply to (#81719). Your last comment "The Forrestville crowd was loud on their first basket and I for one do not doubt that it would have continued had they been leading" is IDIOTIC!

Yeah sure we barracked loud for the eagles first basket, what would you have had us do?

The point I am making as an EAGLE supporter along with people from your OWN CLUB is that you started carrying on before the first tip off & did not let up untill well after the last buzzer.

I expect that sort of cheering for proffesional sports, NBL, AFL, NRL although to be quite honest I have never actually heard such a comotion from a small group of people at any of those events. I have not even heard COLLINGWOOD supporters dribbling the kind of tripe that u 4 heros where dribbling on sunday evening.

You have a bunch of great tallented kids, as EVERYONE (Sturt & Eagles supporters)have attested to on here. Your Daughters deserve every succsess that they will quite obviously earn over the coming years.

The best that can be said about the 4 moronic fathers that come with them is that they will hopefully get everything that is coming their way as well.

Are you guys staying together on the gold coast??
Not much love here.
Kiss and make up.

great effort to the UNDER 20 southern tigers boys. They wouldnt have been tipped to even make the finals due to only having 3 div 1 players. It was a guttsy tournament by all the boys.

TRUE BLUE, and other anonomuos posters

Yes I would like for you to tell me your name. If you could call the Sturt office on 8177 0463 it would be much appreciated.
