Can we have some of tonigts results?

Live stats in the western suburbs is again DOWN

Panthers should hang their heads in shame. An absolute disgraceful display tonight! And their fans were just as feral! An absolute clinic put on by the flames especially by webber and wow Daniel Johnson absolutely got posterized by cooper! Hope someone has footage of that!

Good luck to any team that knocks Norwood out of the grand final. As for Webber, south made him look like and effing basketball player and that wont happen again this season.

daniel johnson was hanging with mr cooper.. that was huge! cooper showed him a thing or two tonight.

That was a monster dunk by Cooper. A bit scary that the two 36ers playing did not stand out or dominate in any way. DJ looked like he would rather be elsewhere all night and started throwing some cheap shots. The 36ers next big thing was completely shown up by an NBL has been.

You're right it wont happen again this season, because South wont make the finals!

BTW, Webber doesnt need any help to look like a basketball player...he does it himself with help from his team mates.

Maybe worry about your own pathetic backyard (with DJ and Creek and you still cant make finals!) before throwing cheap shots at another team.

Dunno y people are hating on Norwood after tonight. They were the ones playing with class and absolutely smacking a team of meatheads! Another shameless post probably by a feral panther army member!
Can't believe they were still trying to talk smack when their team was down 40! Pretty much matched the good attitude of souths coach an players! Wonder if he is still happy he cleared out the veterans before the season to accompdste his new "recruits". As a neutral supporter I think south have gone backwards this year! Feel sorry for the people who were south through and through to be replaced by these pack of meatheads! They shouldve started to "over - rated" chant for Johnson tonight. He was terrible!

Don't let the stats fool you king James. My grandma could score and rebound in the last quarter of a blowout! They were terrible!

KingJames I bet you where not at the game. Cooper completely outplayed DJ. DJ chucked up airballs, out of rythym jump shots and was no where on the glass for 3 quarters. Defensively he was a non factor as Norwood got to the rim any time they liked basically.

Mitch was only good when he attacked the rim. I would like to say his passing is better but the six turnovers where UGLY

lol at kingjames thinking he can judge a game on the stats better than people who were actually in attendance.

looks like Souths performance is on par with BSA.

Another night where half the statscasts werent working.

Maybe BSA should work on getting it fixed before they try and drain more monry from clubs for having canteens.

Pilkington, blight, frost. There's 3 starters to begin with!

Pilkington - Left with a couple of days to go before the season started. Was not cut.

Blight - I think he decided to go to Woodville.


South is a very young team. Howe-Tipene, Omanagho, Prest etc and young kids who play significant minutes for this team and have spent year adjusting to men's basketball.
I think everyone should calm down and put this in perspective. The team has improved a lot since last year from outside appearances and one bad game does not make a season.

King James are u johnsons mum? Were u actually at the game to comment on it? If u actually saw Johnson and his total not giving a fuck attitude thinking his shut doesn't stink I think ud be pretty disappointed in him! And if u were there then yeah u clearly are dillusional! As for creek he played ok. Norwood seemed to be sagging off him a long way and he backed up their decision to do so by missing every jumper he took. Clearly cannot shoot!

The Answer,

You weren't there mate to see who played by the rules or not so best leave comment rather than stick the boot in - correct?

The refs were very trigger happy with the technicals and the game went downhill from there.

How does a team with only one player recording techs all season suddenly have three guys thrown out? I think that's the bigger question here...

yeah, but if he hadnt cut Frost so dramatically-(long time south junior player)who still gives very good minutes for his new club, blight wouldnt have walked to woodville and persay neither would have pilkington. 3 extra senior players with a wealth of experience would have been a very good support to the very junior players who supposedly have spent a year adjusting to senior basketball. Mate they havent adjusted to anything.I am looking to next year and I can only see a lot of dark times a head for South. Creek & Johnson great to have playing in the our league, but together in the same team has not worked.Money not well spent with hindsight I would have to say. Outside Boal who has had a shocker of a season other recruits have been nobodies who have not developed any game.Looking forward to see what the brillant coach can bring forth for the next year. LOL

Mate, I think they will be fine. How many games did South win last year with those 3 guys? Or the year before that?

The program is moving up, it's good to go watch games at the club again (I stopped going a few rounds in last year) and one bad loss does not make a season.

Basketball SA, they can't even have the scoreboard on court 1 at Port Adelaide working for a senior Mens and Womens game I mean come on YOUR A JOKE BASKETBALL SA!

Norwood stats. Selective software problems then? Are u sure that it's not just too much trouble for u? Rubbish comp so rubbish stats mirror it perfectly!

BJF, I was at the game also and concur with your summary.

Isn't it easier to hate and point the finger when things don't go well rather than to look on the positive side. Perfect example on this post!

Ok anyone caring to talk about webbers 51? Thats a pretty impressive effort??

No dount IO tech was warrented, but the throwing of the coach so quickly was crazy.

Cooper was holdin IO, you would have to be really blind to think otherwise and his tech was warrented.

King James, I respect your posts mate.

At the end of the day there are a few wanting to stick the boot who weren't even at the game. Yes it was ugly but one game is not the season.

Always amazes me that people say they were at a venue watching a game and that they are not aligned with either team BUT report with a certain bias towards one or the other teams. I can't think of kind word for either high spending low developing club and the more warranted techs, officials dish out, the better.

Did mav girls finally get a win?

All of the Techs at the South V Norwood game were warranted. Unacceptable by players and coach.

What's more to the point is how it got to that. Norwood players hacking with impunity leading to frustration which was always going to end badly. Don't hook; don't hook but the flying elbow is fine - over and over.

Refs clearly out of depth. Needed someone who was capable of controlling the game early instead of allowing it to degenerate to the point where they got to prove how tough they were from behind the whistle. As consistent as a teenager experimenting with ADD medication.

Some refs clearly have the respect of the players. Unfortunately they were at other venues last night.

So no stats web data again today and the snail mail from st clair still hasn't posted the results of the mavs game.

southern girls results?????

So having the South coach get warned, then start yelling at the other referee across the court abusing him is not worth a technical foul?
And then coming onto the court pointing and abusing him some more is not worth the second one?
Or being held back by his assistant while he was abusing the referee is not worth a dq?
Quite frankly I see why the referees ended up having no respect for him... you give respect, you get respect.

As for Omamagho, he has barely hit puberty... how can he expect to be able to chase a referee down the court to yell in his face?

And finally the technical foul on DJ - He asked the referee "Do you have a disability, cos are f**king retarded!" Which was heard clearly by us on the sideline.
Um, is that an example to be set by a person who represents our team in NBL?
Maybe he can go to HQ and become DJ Tantrum?

Just to clear things up, Pilkington left on his own accord after agreeing to play for South and signing a contract. Did a similar thing the year before after agreeing to play for Forestville and then playing again for South.
Blight chose to leave, and Frost was cut. Both players were set in their ways and with Tony wanting to make changes to try and get the team moving forward needed players willing to change.
I don't think either players have been effected that much by it, Frost is putting up some half decent numbers and is getting more minutes at Centrals than what he would have at South and Bligt is doing his normal thing at Woodville and is enjoying playing under Al.
I think the biggest loser out of this is Pilkington. Would have played good minutes at South (may not have gotten a shot up with DJ in the team!) but his minutes seem to have declined quite a bit!
My guess is neither Blight or Pilkington will play on next season...

Why aren't the woodville and mavericks men results posted.

How do you know what DJ said in a previous game? Were you the ref who worked on both games?

I think you will find that Luke Smith gave the warning and it was Andrew Just who gave the 2 tecs on TC as it was him he came on court to have a go at. Luke Smith was baseline door end when it came to a head.

Was he running out the door cos he is a pansy, smith shouldn't be allowed to ref under 10's the bloke is a disgraceful ref

Gee, why is the common denominator in all "problem" games, weather it be by players or fans, Norwood?

Went to the Flames v Lions yesterday. Nothing of the sort occurred. Game was hard fought right to the final buzzer. No tempers and respect for the opposition was evident.

Not sure you could blanket this as a Norwood problem entirely. South has had their fair share of games that have got out of hand in my experience

haha jacko were u at the game!? none of saturday nights antics had anything to do with norwood whatsoever! and to say they did would be totally disrespectful to them!

norwood are not choir boys although...............

Norwood intimadate refs into allowing a very physical game. Usually after a few moving screens, hacks on pass-outs or hand checks on the outside lead to turnovers teams start to respond with physicality themselves.

Don't get me wrong they are very talented and deserve to be favourites, but they are the kings of getting away with physical play that borders on illegal. They are the South East Melbourne Magic of the current ABL and very good at playing the refs.

Do people seriouly expect that a team that has no major issues this year would all of a sudden explode for no reason? Come on.

South shouldn't have exploded but the refs should have controlled the game.

Casella was always going to explode with the right triggers. He has a history of doing it.

As a neutral fan at saturdays game I thought the refereeing was of decent standard. The play Tony lost his shit at was when someone stripped the ball onto creeks leg and it bounced out of bounds. Creek wasn't even disputing the call. And when the player got tossed it was on a travel call. Apparently Norwood were brainwashing the refs though!!

jacko are you saying that is what north did when they beat them a few weeks back?

norwood and brain should never appear in the same sentence.
