Just think it'll be a tough weekend with their Oz Camper away. Nothing personal.

Feel free to discuss & share your own predictions!

As I say, one SA team appears to have a nice draw in U18 boys and that has been factored in to my estimations.

I probably know more about the younger groups than older groups, I am basing a lot off results from 1) Jan tourney 2) Easter 3) State Champs. Obviously Easter not a good guide for U18 boys with lots missing.

Vic teams will dominate

West 5-8? It wouldn't matter how easy their draw was, they are a definite bottom 4 side. They just snuck into 4th at State Champs and are only the fifth best in summer, and probably winter. No way in hell they can finish top 8.

Southern will struggle without their Oz camper. Sure, they can beat ordinary teams back home without him, but they are pretty much a two man side. Take one out of the equation and that's a big ask.

I have been told that every team in Wests pool besides West will be missing players.

If that's the case then I assume a full strength West will get the job done.

I might be wrong & have been given incorrect info!

Classics, if you knew the group at all in SA, you'd understand why nobody apart from yourself is positive about West's chances.

#877 is right, they have really struggled back home. They will be a long way behind most, even against teams with players missing. They really are not very good.

I watch the sydney metro comp and the north bears team apart from missing one Australian player still have the likes of chier a 6 foot 7 yetti super athletic arguable the best player in australia, greater than dante he can dribble shoot, dunk and on top off that play point guard to centre he is averaging 40 points a game a real pleasure to watch he was in the australian side by pulled out for certain reasons they also have some young talented guard who can be mistaken for rondo for his scoring abilities along with his rebounding and passing he is a player to watch

yes he did

yeh i heard he performed at a high level at the school championship what did you think of their centre chier? 28 rebounds and 22 points against symmons

Sydney commets to be in the top 4 is that a joke. They are 9-1 in sydney comp however they have never played a full strength manly side and the res of the comp is rubbish apart from norths. Norths shut them down after a slow start and made them look like a pack of fairies

i Believe that in the game sydney against norths the australian player that will be away scored 30, they only won the game by 10. without him norths have been going into overtime against those teams you have called "rubbish" i dont think they will be very strong without him

Love how you guys all follow the forum rules by NOT posting names of junior players here......

Southern actually only have two decent players, and one will be away. The reason they have done reasonably well is that these two players are absolute quality. The rest of the team is ordinary. The SA Country boys wouldn't get anywhere near a SA team if they lived metro.

#074 - they haven't played Sturt yet. Sturt are the number 1 team, as was proven at State Champs. Tell me what team of any quality they have beaten without their Oz camper? You Southern hicks are really good at getting ahead of yourselves, aren't you?

Comets have only had one tight game so that is not a lot to go on, all season norths have had at least one of their stars present and are in these tight situations with one of them playing, this is what they will have in the classic so it could be a fair indication of how they might go

The strongest melb team is nunawading,they are the only team to beat all top vic teams,but didnt make claccic .they must have been down o players.

there was only one game where the two stars were not there and that was a loss to bankstown, as for the guards i am unaware

#087 - please stop posting. You are just proving that what we all think of you guys down there is correct.

since comets played norths (who mind you only managed a lucky come back in the second half) comets have got a new point guard jimmy B who closely resembles steve nash, has been a nice addition to there team

norths are in with a great chance as they have played many games this season without their australian player they have some key players cheir 6 foot 7 athletic as all hell has been dunking on every one is the sydney comp their point is great with the longest range their power forward has the skills of a point and dominates in the paint, not to mention their depth with possibly the best 6th man in the league but someone to really watch out for is the back up center gregery who has been in amazing form of late

greg has had many offers from UCLA, DUKE and North Carolina and is tipped to be no.1 draft pick of 2020,as for sunshine/the ranger i hear the boomers are looking for a bench coach to enhance the bench warming efficiency. as for the coach (sepo) i think he likes to be called has some serious competition for DMCC award with manager dani who has been training in secret for this award and has been knocking down a case with every meal. good luck sepo

this is breaking news but my recently found bastard child alex hall (the hall monitor)is playing for norths bears are recovering from a recent broken ankle he is hitting form with a last second dunk to embarrass the opposition in last weeks game. i also believe the his half sister is attending so mothers lock up your horny sons.

I used to play for North Sydney a couple of years ago and i have been watching most of Norths home games this season. And despite all this talk about their stars, they have a team with considerable depth. Yes, they will be missing a star player due to national commitments, but they will still be great without them. (The rules say no names so i will use nicknames). The Big Black Mamba is great and incredibly athletic and he will score no matter what. But Mac Daddy (forward) has the ability to put up big points, as he has proven plenty of times scoring 20+ on many occasions as well as the occasional 30+. So I think all teams will have to watch out for him as he will be a deciding factor to how the team goes. I also noticed that this greg guy is the truth as the guys were talking about above. Any other teams have any rising stars apart from national squad players?

Yeah he seems to only be scoring big against weaker teams but he might have the potential to play big against bigger teams.. i guess time will tell

or those who dont know who i am, you are ignorant and uneducated if you bothered to read or watch the news you would know who i am and would not be doubting my ability, i would have been missing this tournament if it weren't for a serious injury that i sustained putting me out for a season i was still requested to represent our country but i declined as i felt it was time to step aside for national commitments and let others have a go. for all you non-believers "the proof is in the pudding" as they say. i'll see you on the weekend

dear anonymous stop being a coward and say you name so i know who to embarras on the court, pffft bet you dont even get on the court do you mate?
i have only made one other post so you can go suck a nut! leather shit mate didnt know this tournament was gonna get kinky, now im excited ;)

hi all Shaq here just saying I've been giving Greg individual one on one post lessons and he is my protégé i do believe he will one day make the NBA and anonymous this is not a forum for threats please keep your mouth shut before i pull a back bored down on you
kind regards Shaquille Rashaun O'Neal

I hope you guys continue to fight even before the games start! Wont know who is best till sunday late or monday..Depth will win a tournament as players tire.

big pussy ^

Damn no Greg, that must be tough, and i heard your main player has been banned for the rest of the tournament. And all the smack about Sydney not making top 4, well they proved that wrong. Norths are looking at a bottom 4 placing, not very impressive

Melbourne Tigers U/16 Boys beat Hills Hornets by 20 points in a good quality game tonight. Blackburn beat Hawthorn by 23 in the other semi.

Sturt Sabres vs Sydney Comets in U18 Boys GF if there website is anything to go by.
