What's Hot/What's Not

What's Hot:

  • Over 700 people to the Forestville v Sturt game, (and seeming as coaches like me were not counted going in the door), great job all involved getting the game up and running, with the stand being up and running with a great game to boot. Sure beats family and friends at North Adelaide games.
  • Films not starring Ben Affleck
  • Oscar Forman, 37 points on 15/32 shooting with 16 rebounds (6 offensive)
  • Channel ten at the game to do a story on Brad Newley
  • The Playboy Mansion game, well for a laugh
  • Club 33, nah just kidding, I admired you growing up Mark, but I've gone to that place twice now and the walls have mould on them
  • The Great Mates charity screening of Coach Carter, I'll be getting a ticket
  • The Difference, with 20 points, 7/19 shooting, 18 rebounds, 5 assists 2 blocked shots 6 steals
  • Jason Dix, 9/16 shooting for 26 points and 14 rebounds, the kid has game
  • 108 shots by Sturt, jacking them up good to see, (34% less pleasing to see)
  • Newley's vertical leap, he was just showing off with some mad crazy boards at the end of the game
  • All junior refs doing a great job under tough conditions
  • Will Smith, just has a cool name, from here forth I will only refer to the bloke as the Fresh Prince
  • Jason Farman 12 points, 5/7 FG with 7 rebounds, nice contribution.
  • Sam Prior providing photos, good job.


What's Not:
  • Marcus Ngs shorts that guy needs a Queer eye make-over desperately
  • Darren NG I love the guys game but he really is stinking it up lately it pains me to say this but he had 3/17 shooting, 0/6 from downtown, for 11 points.
  • The haters.
  • Date movies
  • The fact that if EC and DarkAngel don't show up the Sturt fan base is cut in half
  • Peter Nguyen look-a-likes
  • Sunday Mail write-ups that have Andrew Bogut listed as a point guard
  • 67 rebounds by one team and 60 by another, enough missed shots to go around
  • The national anthem (for the haters)
  • Adam Benson missing a wide-open lay-up
  • David Shepherd 1/6 shooting
  • $6 entry for student to the game
  • AFL football, boring sport played in one country in the world with minimal skills, where's the innovation? Boring flooding as well
  • Junior teams who wins comps playing 1-2-1 zones all season.


Flop of the week:
  • Brad Newley. I came to see a show and Newly plays like he is drunk for the the first 3 quarters. 5/19 shooting, 3/8 from downtown, 3/8 from the line with 8 turnovers. Sure the guy stepped it up for the last two minutes, but 700 people expected to see more of a spectacle.

Of course you hate date movies if you can't get a date.

I can't believe Wayne Haydon was not on your not list. He is clearly the weak link in Forestville's line-up.

I'm a fan of Marcus' shorts. You really need to be confident to pull that off.

Signs by Justin Timberlake and Snoop Dogg. Everyone should go out and drop it like it's hot.

Double Clutch, your write ups are so entertaining. Unfortunately, DarkAngel didn't make it to last night's game.

A very frustrating game to watch when so many Sturt shots just wouldn't go in for them. They had the opportunites, it just wasn't going their way. With the marginal loss in spite of so many missed shots, they were clearly the better team on the night.

Sorry to correct the spelling, but it's Chek Ng.

Is Marcus playing at Sturt as well, or are you referring to his off-court fashion?

Is Chek Ng still the patron for Woodville?

And who won? No mention of the score here?

Isaac - get the promo off the site and put the box scores up!

Box scores coming. Forestville got up 96-94. Great game. See other thread for my thoughts. I know I'm biased, but Oscar's scoring to bring that lead back in was a huge performance.

Under the What's Not tag, add Nick Hambore and his second quarter uncontested, no traffic, solo missed dunk.

(just trying to set the scene)

double clutch, i just wanted to let you know that AFL football is not just played in our beloved country.in the U.S alone there is somewhere along the line of 46 teams that play in three different leagues and divisions across the nation. not to mention leagues in Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Ireland, UK, Canada and New Zealand.

jj, he said AFL meaning Aussie Rules. Correct me if I'm wrong but Aussie rules suggests only played in Australia.

No EC. AFL is played all over the world. It originated in AUS hence Aussie(not American, English) Rules Footy

My point is still relevant as I'm sure those mentioned leagues draw huge crowds.

Don't go hating on the AFL, the game obviously is doing something right, getting people to play, today's basketball, especially the top levels, as i stated beofre lacks a lot today, people don't attend Basketball, becuase even though it is a great sport, people that cant play loose interest...

eg. Anyone can go out and play a half decent game of Aussie rules, all you need to do is kick, handball, run a bit, tackle and catch etc. But basketball takes time to perfect and you can't go out to a basketball stadium and start to understand...

That's why people don't go, and also maybe it has something to do with the sport being Americanised and Aussies sticking old school

Exactly my point with football. It is quite a simple sport that is boring to watch. Maybe it's a reflection of the lack of intellectual muscle within sections of this country.
