too tired to post.......

Well North should have won it, they were just unlucky BIG TIME!!!

Yes, North tied with Sturt in the reserves girls. Bur how arrogant was you-know-who from Sturt just standing out there waiting for all the trophies. How hard would it have been to go back after each one?

And it starts! Get a life hater! Congrats to Sturt on the outstanding results. At least there are some who still strive for excellence in a cesspool of mediocrity that is SA basketball.

You almost can't blame him after winning just about every trophy!

before you continue to be so petty please understand that the 'you-know-who' was told to stand and wait for those trophies. He works very very hard and he is just great to work with,but you just go right ahead and keep on bagging him and we will continue to reap the benefits. Run along and perpetuate all the other lies and misrepresentations that people make. I, for one,am beyond caring about the crap that people like you want to say about the hard workers in this sport. Well done to all the clubs and the hard workers, especially Woodville who have improved out of sight over the last couple of years - what a fantastic effort for those hard workers in that club.

Well done to Norwood well deserved,pretty predictable with top 3. West have improved have a good big lad that can play. Mavs did well without the big lad, well run as per usual, forgot pillow sore buttock from all the games.

What happened to Forestville in 16 girls?

Weren't Sturt, Norwood, Eastern and Woodville aware that Forestville won the GF in winter season last year?!

Metro parent wannabe;

that was last year.

I doubt that all those Forestville girls will make Metro after this week end, will be lucky to have any more than 2 in the side.

And we all know that playng for Forestville gets you into country teams wether you are good enough or not, so all of them making it should be no suprise.

what about u 18 reserves - div 2 team winning over 2 former div 1 teams.

#185216"Yes those four sides should show forestville more respect with 4 state country reps and 3 state metro reps in the side."

obviously forestville in the 16 girls are not one of the top four girls teams at the moment. no matter how many country or metro state kids they have.
other teams are going over the top of them.

It has been coming for a while now.


Easter was the start of the signs that forestville 16g were not as they were cracked up to be.


They have been advantaged with extra coaching for a long time now, so once the other kids get the same amount of coaching they were always going to catch up.
Good even comp IMO.

What sad little lives some of you lead.

Metro parent wannabe & Grote; one day your just gonna have to let it go, for your own sakes, so that both of you can, one day hopefully, move on.

185229 - Spot on the money!! Couple of those AIS and prospetive AIS frm our vic p.o.v. sure question? but see both from F'ville?? Young gun badly out of form at mo I hear??

In english please!

just wanted to congratulate norwood on winning 16 boys they are an outstanding side and deserved to win, also bad luck to the mavs losing their best big man but they still performed extremly well and slmost beat norwood and with luck might have won the tournament

congrates to norwood girls on making the GF they knock out eagles to go through i heard that norwood has a few girls that should make state metro this yr?

All metro teams are being named this week, with by phone during the week, or on Saturday.

How are all the state teams looking? Any standouts for metro and country?

"never any metro standouts"

You sound like a bitter metro or a country parent to me. Great stuff, this talking down, in particular when the journey is just starting! You must be a star at getting results through motivating people...

If you are unhappy about the standard of play and are unable to motivate people, maybe you've got yourself to blame. By going a bit harder at procreating, you might have hit a better gene combination at some stage; it's all a big lottery after all...

You're partly right though: Metro will have to reap their advantage by producing fab team play. Relying on a few individual standouts may get you somewhere in U14, but it isn't a reliable strategy in U18 and up. So no standouts is fine. All Metro players are well aware that they can do well provided they play as a team. I wish them luck, whoever has been picked!

where are the teams?

Or maybe last year no bottom age player was in the top 10, and this year 5 bootom age players are in the top 10?

Any bottom age boys in U16's?

Sorry anon, but that just doesn't make sense.

How do you know where you are going to finish before you get to a tournament. It's not even like you have seen the opposition players before.
