Yes I'd say city got it locked up and it's onl Christmas. :):):) ;)

Hilarious, up there with the December 31st "See you next year!!!" Champagne comedy

What is hilarious is BSA's naming of this comp.

I have heard North men retained Alex Starling. Possibly getting Erik Burdon back from Mt G. They should start favourites as they were this time last year.

Davis staying with South, Atem Atem at North also, is Miller going to be back? Southern seem to have a few new with Johns back and 2 imports already signed, would be interested in Oldham going back to West? Massive part of their championship team.

Talk of Mansfield playing at North, will Wilson be back to Eastern? Word was that Sturt was getting one of the lightning girls.

I have only seen 1 import sign on Tigers FB but also Brandon Brine back.

What are Norwood doing? Anything new for them?

Ricky Simpson in as coach for Centrals Men

See Oldham not going back to West

Ally Wilson won't be back at Mavs as she returning to SEABL.

Burdon resigned with pioneers months ago

People out North claiming they will be unbeatable.

Will O Thompson be back at Fville?

Any Lightning girls playing or moving?

Carlin gone from woodville, off to US I believe.
And who's coaching North?

Nathan Hawkes for the second half. Surely his suspension from last season precludes him from coaching the first half?

Stanbridge & Carlin gone. A lot will be left to Ng then.

Who is this Brandon Brine mentioned playing for Southern. Is he from SA or an import?

Anyone have any names or highlights of imports signed for each club?

Didn't Ng retire?

What age group? Did he make any state teams?

Darren ng retired

Woodville need a new coach they use to be a top 5 contender then Scott Whitmore took over and they finished 8th last season.

Majok Doyle & Teys to Forestville + imports

Favourites based on current lists must be them plus Norwood plus Southern

Heard Majok going to mount gambier.

In fairness Easterns import can't get any worse than last years.

I hear Centrals are bringing their import back.

Heard Teys to North.

Mavs 2017 import would have to rate as the worst import ever! Social ball standard on a good night.
The problem with Mavs is that anyone who can't get a regular gig anywhere else end up playing for them!

Could they get a Jack Madgen type back?

Is anyone else getting worried about the money getting splashed around these days. Always been a bit under the table but Southern's spending the last few years looks like it has forced a few to catch up with them. North must be spending a bucket load with these new signings and Norwood paying 10 grand to someone that whilst good is hardly a star.
A few clubs were in financial trouble not too long ago, will history repeat itself. And how much will junior fees go up to pay for clubs trying to buy a title?

I think you might be surprised how cheap some of these players come, even NBL level players.

Stanbridge will likely be the highest paid Aussie in the league. Starting on a full time wage the highest paid import.

Yep in the men's if you are washed up or have a bad attitude Mavs will welcome you.

Stanbridge isn't the highest paid Aussie.

For a league that often struggles to bring more than 50 people into a lot of games, spending is out of control across the league, and it's parents who pay the price.

You are very wrong about North and the cost of their program

Most money will still be spent by Southern, F/Ville and Norwood

Sorry, conjecture about North, but with Starling already there, Atem and Burdon coming on board and maybe import, they must be spending a little bit.

You have agents even creeping in to premier league.

Teams and clubs over spend money, to recruit over their own juniors, from junior revenue borders on a sick joke.

Develop and pay your own juniors.

Question: what clubs (Men & Women) have the most homegrown products running around in PL?
Not a player who came in their final year of 18's, or the joke that is BSA Youth League. It would be interesting to rate the clubs? For the men I would say Sturt and women Norwood?
Thoughts

Maybe true for Sturt men but that's only because the previous coaching director poached them in u14 or u16s!

Once we get 2018 lineups we can do a comparison.

Based on last couple of years. Forestville for the women were all juniors at the club i beleive.

Definitely Forestville in the women. I would have to agree Sturt and Southern in the men.

southern in the men??? ur kidding me

Agree, Southern??? Have more ring ins than the foreign legion!!!!

Mavs or Centrals in the men's would have least club juniors.

What Aussie will get more than Stanbridge and his 10k flames paid for him

What veterans are stay or retiring from each club?

Are Schenscher & Dodman going around again?

And Truslove too?

Any movement on woodville mens apart from stanbridge going to Norwood?

Woodvilles import is already here. Must be a point guard judging by his size in a photo next to an u12.

When are others expected?

If Woodvilles import is here already will he finish out the current reserves season?

Thompson back at Forestville.

Dangerous posting old tiger. Hope you have proof of such an accusation.

Would want to have something to back that claim up.

I doubt they will be the highest paying club in 2018. Might not even be top 3.

Does the Premier league home get updated regularly, was interested in seeing the vote breakdown for both Halls and Woollcott medals. Latest is 2016. Perhaps there's somewhere else I can find it? Any help appreciated

Mavs women with the most home grown 2017
Folliowed by either Sturt or Forrestville

Southern women for the least, a hollow premiership

Men Sturt for most homegrown and Mavs or centrals for least

Lauren Mansfield not coming back North. Going back to Tassie for SEABL

Sam Defrancesca Forestville to North

Good Riddance

Surprised more haven't left.

Opal Mader to QBL actually. Katinyeri to follow her.

McKendrick to do both.

Are any imports here for men or women? Have any played reserves or anything?

Mavs men's definitely have less club juniors in their premier league than Centrals.

I really don't understand this argument. The opportunity is there for every club junior to play for their PL team, if they're good enough.

Reality is many who think they are, are not. Don't you want your club's PL team to win? If you don't have the talent coming through you're program, or that talent is moving on to NBL, WNBL, College or Interstate isn't it good club management to bring in talent?

Nowhere ever in basketball outside of this one league or in any other sport do we expect our top level senior teams to play to lose and not get better so they can offer their own available juniors the ability to get smashed by better teams.

Eian Davis Reported to be new import at lava

Mavs
