Leave the cardon tax politics out Jack. I'm sure you'll notice the increase in the tax free threshold come your first pay packet.

Don't tell me this forum has been infiltrated by a Labor stooge who actually believes that carbon tax as implemented in Australia is good. My business colleagues overseas just shake their heads in disbelief

"A Flames win gives me mixed emotions - it is like watching your ex wife drive your red sportscar off a cliff"

Haha, mate. Korea our fourth biggest trading partner just legislated for an ETS similar to what we will have. The state of California has a ETS and that is a bigger economy than ours, China is planning to introduce a carbon pricing scheme and Europe has had one operating for years.

We'll be fine, it will be just like the GST a big storm in a teacup once it comes in.

And for the record I'm a small business owner and basketball coach, not aligned to either major party. But as a trained economist I do believe the cheapest way to limit greenhouse gas emissions is a via a market mechinism and I'm sick of seeing this shit everywhere I go.

Jack's even sucked in the political groupies on this one. Way to branch out!

Ahh economics. Greece and Spain show the rest of the world how run their finances. Oh and let's not forget Italy. Perhaps they are technically not part of 'Europe' any more.

other lost for south womens

Email sent to all clubs about player eligibility today, looks like Borrega will be crossed off the scoresheet this week

You liberal stooge. Not even bothering after that last comment.

Facts and figures are useless when talking to people like you who are flat out counting past ten.

Isn't this a basketball forum?

Lets get back to the interesting stuff yeah.

Thunderbirds don't play until Monday night, so if Carla is suited for the game & warms up, why would her name be crossed off the score sheet. There are plenty of players that don't hit the court each week.

yeah but they are actually in the country when the games on!!

granny, the email sent out yesterday, was from the person you are referring to, think a bit to much is made of him working for BSA and coaching at a club!

Put your hand on your heart and say basketball in South Australia is in a good place.
Most have accepted that rorts and nepotism are the building blocks of the game here where some clubs are more equal than others.
You can jump up and down about it, as some have and suffer the consequences or shrug your shoulders and let the 3 or 4 clubs out do each other with dirty tricks in both the men and women's game.
Just like the state champs, abl is a black caviar event with just enough runners to make it seem like a competition but not enough to make it a real race and the winners are known beforehand.
It's just a game for most of us and we love playing but eventually I guess more will take up more transparent codes because I can't ever see rules being adhered to or created that are at the centre of the game's well being.

as for Norwood - Lewis and Foley are the only 2 that are "restricted players"..
does anyone pay attention to the salary cap???

We do!! We can't afford not to as we don't have the funds available to us that other larger clubs do!

I know our club isn't playing anything on both sides...and that's probably the way it should be. Spend the money on getting your junior programs right instead.

Tigers Girls are going really we for young Group.

I just think some people are trying to add opinions to the ruling. As I said previously, if she is present (then she must be in the country), suited & warming up; then she meets the rule.

A team could do the same thing for an injured player that needs to qualify, but has no intention of playing. Coaches have no intention in playing some bench players so what's the difference - except people feel threatened.

So many rules are stretched so if you are going to complain & nit pick this one, you need to look at a lot of clubs.

Coaches need not play an injured player as they get a exemtion for those games they are injured in.

And for what its worth. She not only did not warm up, but had her hair down and sat on the end of the bench eating apples.

Clearly was not 'ready to play' according to the rules.

Did they warm up.

And were they the best play on their team but were they suspicuiously absent from taking the court.

Why not just suit up anyone and bring them in for finals? It makes a mockery of the competition.

Dumies can be collected at the centrals, norwood and north reception areas.

Unfortunately camel 31, basketball laws emanate from the ass, are enforced by an ass and serve the purposes of clubs whose only wisdom shines from the ass.

Jack are being a tiny bit of hypocrite?

You are two headed jack consequently the plural is correct

North by 3 in overtime

I guess that after the mens game the program might have crashed. It is probably an internal glitch where the program itself couldnt believe that onw team could have such a poor efficiency rating for an entire game, so it probably thought someone was just messing around on it and shut itself down.

Mavs girls by 6

How did North women win. Done nearly 20 at one stage; less overall talent than Eagles. How did Sharon let this slip?

Shoulda played Borrego when it got tight. Oh wait, she's under contract & not allowed to play.

Gotta love the refs at Port Adelaide in the Men's tonight. Giving out techs for next to nothing and then not calling anything when a player walks up and physically chest bumps the ref after a call went against him.

why all these posts about womens games? who cares?

Maybe people involved with women's basketball do you ignorant sack of shit!

i see norwood men pulled their finger out this week for a good win!?

First game for Matty Lycett at Norwood??

I saw he played there too. Big surprise he is back from college so soon and then not to be at North. Seems club loyalty is fast disappearing!

You obviously don't know the full story. Was more than welcome back at North

whats the full story?
