ELG, I think you can still see him in the grey & maroon on a Monday night, playing div 3.

Mavs are struggling, but I'm not sure anyone really expected any different pre-season?

Eastern don't have the players at the moment. Most games they can only suit 8 people. That leaves only 7 when Bungey is fouled out.

You can all get screwed - they are a developing squad with new players. Madgen & Williams have both spent part of the season in the States playing college basketball. They are just like football teams when they get new recruits; they need to learn to play as a team, so maybe lay off them

Don't want to lay off them. They are crap! Worst team this competiton has ever seen! Congratulationas Richard! Williams is probably the worst starting guard in the league. Bungey the biggest underacheiver in the league. Modra has lost alot of weight, but still can't play..maybe time to give it up mate. Cambell has gone from a descent role player to no more than a thug. Worst first big man sub in the league! Watson wouldn't get a game with any of the finals bound teams, which is how he likes it..if he is on a bad team he gets to take more shots which suits him. Would prefer to get 25 points from 9/31 from the field than get 14 points and a win! The only thing that has gone right for them this year is having Younie injured..he would make them even worse! Go the spooners!

Well done Breheney on a solid year...keep it up.

Their girls were never going to be any good. Williams is well past her prime..playing wise as well as fitness. And apart from a couple of big bodies they have no one.

um, is anyone else tired of people bagging other teams for no good reason? yes i am a former mavericks player and am ridiculously biased but i would like to see any team who has lost at least 3 starters and 3 bench players from both sides be anymore competitive than the season before, it really doesn't make any sense. either offer up constructive critism or for something really crazy and out there, actually offer a solution or some points of discussion, or get over it!

Sturt men lost Forman, Smylie, Gower and Shepherd from their starting ranks, plus Smyth, P.Bauer and Breheny from their bench. ;)

Let me guess, you are:
a/ a referee, or
b/ the weakest link on Western Magic's div 5 men's team, and your greatest achievement in basketball to date has been when you ALMOST made the div 3 team in Under 16's.
Yeah, thought so.

As always anonymous posters talking smack. You wouldnt tell Nik Campbell hes a thug to his face so dont post it. What Ive seen of the Mavs Jye works hard and wants to win and for you to say Younie hurting himself and being out for a year is just wrong. You wouldnt wish a torn achillies tendon on anybody. With a fit team next year they will make the finals. Can we list the starting point guards cause Steve Williams is not at the bottom of that list.

Why wouldn't you tell Nik Campbell that to his face? Is he a thug? ;)

Ok then...

The other PG starters in no partcular order. Some teams have two listed because they are interchangeable and share time between guard spots (as far as I know from the few games I have seen)

Zorich / Kersten
Ng / Ng
Mann / Spud
Sutton / Sullivan
Matthews / Webber
Graves
Wilson
Clarke
Frost

Which combos would Eastern top there? Most of them are very good. Haven't seen Clarke, Frost or Graves recently to judge, but the others would be a clear cut above.

Discussion wasn't on combo's Isaac, it was on starting PG.

But of the combo's listed i'd rate at least one of them if not both (e.g. North, F/ville) above Williams.

The first 12 players listed are all better than Williams based on this year's form. Question mark over Frost and Clarke. In Steve's defence he is a better player than what we have seen this year. Playing with a shoulder injury that needed an operation probably didn't help either.

Point Guard can look shabby on any team if TEAM doesn't exist in attitude, depth and coaching. Looking at the 10 guards listed above, surely no arguments about the fact they have been handed quality to lead and direct on the floor in the three areas above.

I think its funny that you guys are rating a point gaurd that isnt even playing in the league anymore!! If you guys had any idea you would know that he has moved back to the states for good!!
If you cant say anything constructive dont say it!
