You'd think most who don't make finals will be reviewed.

Albury- do us all a favour
Ballarat- long overdue to go
Sandringham- bet they regret that decision

Do one for all competitions

Because there is no difference whether it is Anonymous or Andrew Gaze or Barak Obama...unless you also attach an authorized copy of your birth certificate to your post

Albury ---has had 10 coaches in 9 seasons why do people continue to blame the coaches
Ballarat-- he has salvaged the season after that herendous start but I don't think he'll be back of his own accord.
Sandringham--- will stick with him for another year.

Nunawading to also make a change along with Frankston

A little early to call nuna. They will make the finals.. And who knows after that... See Brisbne 2014. If they win it then what?

From a coaching assessment perspective, especially at the bigger programs you need to look at if the team is progressing forward, sitting still or going backwards.

Win/loss ratio from one season to the next after a few years and finals wins is a good guide.

There's no way Frankston will make a change... they've had Garrick for 6 games.. give the guy a break.

Sandringham and Albury need to stay the course at least for one more season.

Nuna is a tough one. Wait and see the end result.

Ballarat -only if the coach decides to retire. He's actually done a great job keeping them competitive.

Canberra - again need stability but could be a change you never know.

There will obviously be some other changes throughout the league. Coaches generally are very much part time so sometimes work/ family commitments force change.

Dandenong will be interesting,can't see Larrisa going both seabl and wnbl together forever. I'm sure there is a succession plan in place.


I think an easier thing to do... who is definitely coaching again???

It can be hard to pass judgement on coaches at small or financially struggling clubs, some things like roster maybe out of your control.

But if you coach at one of the bigger clubs that have deeper player and financial resources you need to be improving or at the very least showing progress to improvement.

If you didn't make an immediate improvement or after a few seasons you haven't improved the position of the team or in fact you've gone backwards from where you took over the team the acid will be firmly on you.

And rightly so.

Sandringham women are an interesting one, didn't they can the coach last year for not producing wins and put this years coach in, which again didn't produce wins(they had three from memory one was a ?) This year they have had the same, but kept the same coach all year.
I would say he's had his chance

I think Albury should stick with this coach at least for another year or drop down to BigV, 10 coaches in 9 years....they cannot all be at fault the common denominator is the club not the coaches.

I am sure Dandenong will have someone ready to take the reins from Larissa, cant see too many of these older players even returning to SEABL

Playing your girlfriend for massive minutes does not change culture in a positive way.

Fouls and turnovers would be the double double. Can't see the rest.

I think Nunawading definitely gone, how can you have arguably a WNBL starting team and not be better than they are. He forgets who has has in his rotations, he isn't good at game plans, its a mystery.

Who is the girlfriend?

Why stop there Anon how about...

Boomers-- he lost all his friendlys so far they should get rid of him

Opals- the underperformed against China he should be fired

Cleveland cavs-- blatt is out of his depth lost the players and the NBA finals he should be fired.


As a fan of SEABL I have come to the conclusion that it's about the players not the coaches. 6 of the top 8 teams in the league have at least 3 WNBL players. Canberra had 2 but no longer do , Albury has none, Sandy has 1, Ballarat has 2. So when you start offering up suggestions about coaches and how they should be fired how about going deeper than the surface to figure out a good reason

. You say Albury coach is out of his depth well how many wins did you give Albury to begin with?

Ballarat have righted the ship 4 wins in as many weeks

Nuna are in the finals as first thought they would.

Bendigo were decimated by national team but were given a gift in Pana by the league

Dandy will go to her highly qualified female assistant who takes the teams trainings.

Sandy has had a chemistry issues and Kunek either gone or hurt. And are now committed to homegrown

And Geelong goes as Blicavs goes

All in all I think the season has gone to plan with only maybe one surprise with Hobart being able to stay on top with loosing Francis ..

Sandy are a young team so are Canberra.
Launceston off the bottom due to 2 Imports and 2 WNBL players. Hobart similar setup.
Frankston no imports and Garrick for 6 games. They're 9 and 10 - fair effort I would have thought considering they are competing with likes of Bendigo who have Opals an Import and WNBL players etc.

Not sure SEABL is a level playing field with the Conference setup either. Frankston would be 3rd if in East.

Yes the conferences are very lop sided for example, Nunawading are 4th in conference yet 10th overall.

Nuna may have reached the finals but will they drop out again in the first game? No Cole makes huge difference but is it enough just to make finals? Is the coach really a development coach or a great game coach ?

You cant go by record because every team has to play each team in their conference twice..And don't play the teams in the other conference but once some twice. you can't look at the records but head to head. If you take Albury's schedule for example.

they played Bendigo, BACOE,Canberra,Launceston only ONCE

They played Nunawading,Geelong,Dandenong,Hobart, Brisbane,Kilsyth, Frankston, Ballarat, and Sandy twice


that actually makes no sense because they should have played Canberra twice as they are in the same conference. Scheduling error? You can go alphabetically down the line and you will see the schedules are not balanced. Some teams saw Dandenong or Kilsyth once.. And you could say Launceston or Bendigo could have beaten Albury twice if they played them like hobart and kilsyth did. so that would be an extra win for them. same can be said for the east top teams playing the bottom south teams.

How about the men?

Men are the same..Look at Hobart / Mt. Gambier

Hobart play Brisbane, Dandenong and Geelong once

Mt. Gambier play same teams twice

^ Whats the tittle again??

Is it right that Sandringham assistant left? Anyone know the circumstances?

Nothing sinister - work related.

Not the story.

Interesting that so much dirt get thrown at Albury on here all the time, Just ahd a look at the SEABL ladders. Albury - Country and would require people to move up there to play and pull from a limited resource. Sandy - Metro club and would think can pull from anywhere aroun the metro area. Both are on the same records yet Albury gets kicked from pillar to post on here all the time.

It's tough for Albury...local player pool is thin and it's tough to recruit players to move there. The men have had more luck getting people to move but most are from NSW state leagues looking for opportunities that top up a couple of solid locals.

No local women are coming through at all so it's a long tough road for them

Sandy Assist

Is that Nathan Cooper - Brown ?

Some coaches would be under the pump more now after this weekend.

Who in particular ^

Id imagine Frankston and Nunawading.

Sandringham very impressive again.

No one could be questioning Frankston after they finish the season 11-11

Sandy massive under performers in womens, Metro based and have one more win then Albury who every give heaps to.

Frankston get the Tassie double - huge effort,considering both Tas teams playing for double chance and home finals.

Guess the under 12 offenses that Mathews was accused of using must have worked a treat.

SMH

Nunawading coach saved his job with a playoff win?
