We've all heard the word, as of a few weeks ago they had 5 players, then it was 3 players, guaranteed Wooden Spoon!
Has anyone got the latest, will they even be able to play?
You'll find out in two weeks in round 1.
They got an import who can play not sure who else they got thou
All they have is the list below
-Cuffe from last year
-Lister back from UK
-Listers mate who is the import
-Malvaso from YL
Maybe 1 more player, and that's it, everyone else has walked out.
I hear they got a kid who trained with 36ers earlier this year...

I bet Damon Lowry is having a quiet laugh to himself after the way he was treated there.
All the Big V preview shows have been recorded and they are releasing them a few at a time.
Likely to be a few clubs who have had changes since they were recorded.

Don't know why Damon would be laughing...he left and they had just finish last two years in a row under his coahcing....then they finished runners up two years in a row..?
So don't really think anyone would be laughing about whats going on or gone on...as from all reports they are struggling to field a team and would be lucky to make D1 finals...which is sad as the SCM division is really only a 3 horse race now that Eltham has blown up there program to head back in medicority.

Spot on Sammy.....everyone else is playing for 4th spot.
DV will start out ok then fall apart due to egos as per the norm with them.
Bullen to many egos and no point guard to distribute.
Hume well they are hume! they have recruited well thou.
Werribee will get smashed!
Eltham as above
Sherbrooke as above
Melbourne as above
The last 4 will only get wins against each other so whom has the soft draw will look good early then fall away when they play the better teams.
I think Quafow would say he's the answer to the point problems you mention at Bulleen. I'm not a fan of his game as it's all about his numbers but if can get the others involved they could be dangerous. If Bulleen gel they could be real tough as the starting 5 is probably the best going around

Can Mike Rose play the 1 spot over here? Shouldn't be too much of an issue. However I'm sure he will be pro dominantly used to just flat out score.
Quafaw is getting better each season. He is more than a handy guard in this comp
Who is playing in The Melbourne tigers Side?
Are they trying to stay with players who have come up through the junior program ?
Couple of div1 quality sides are really effecting the quality of brand - BigV - that Essentially is still a conference of the ABA
The gap keeps widening Between SCM and SEABL

Corio, Bulleen I think will start favourites. The other strong sides are Waverley, Diamond Valley and Ringwood. Don't underestimate Waverley with a new coach and a balanced team. The Falcons led Knox SEABL in a practice game by 30 points before holding on to win by 6. Although Knox were undermanned Waverley were also not at full strength. Andy Sherwell is a solid coach.Hume will be ok and then there will be a bit of a gap. Sherbrooke have two imports this year which is a new thing for them, Eltham also have an import. Werribee and Waverley will both be very young.

So it's true, Eltham may not have enough players to start the season?
