Mavs capable of an upset if they play vozzo more

They're selling Jordy Wilson towels at the ARC

South beating West should be the only possible upset, but you never know.

Can you hillbillies please fuck off and try to refrain from contaminating every PL thread with your Vozzo fantasies. Thanks.

So the same as WASBL then really

SA PL > SBL in WA.

Thanks Jack! Not sure the Woodville bigs without Stanbridge will be able to handle the North frontcourt.

Well, well well. Three holes in the ground and Mr Toft chipping in on PL action. I like it.

Yes, pride does come before the fall,

and the elbows, punches and tripping comes before the pride.

He didn't write that about West so not sure what you’re on about

I heard West aren't getting another import. They don’t have the budget to replace one.

I wonder what southern have up their sleeve..

West are the cleanest gentlemen in the league

They will be once Mr Larson retires

South men and women to turn their seasons around both starting this week.

Even Jamie isn't this delusional his team is any good

Jamie might be the more level headed of the two Panther coaches

Both South teams to go down by 15.

Who cares about South
Just like Mavs
Insignificant with massive top down issues

If I'm looking for a game to go to tonight which is likely to be the best?

Sturt vs Forestville.

Nik desantis with the full love and support of his friends and family vs the 36ers B team.

#600. If no affiliation or wish to see 36ers in local action, I think the game to watch would be Norwood V Centrals.

I have affiliation to towels so I can't go to that game

Does anyone know why Rashad is assistant coach at forestville? The games I've seen and flicking over to watch stream tonight I don't think I've ever really seen Andy talk to him. Andy doesn't really set uniform standards high with the jorts but Rashad looks like he's popping out to get a litre of milk Sunday morning instead of coaching at the highest level in the state. Hasn't brought in any recruits of note so just wondering why?

How about them LIONS - A Webber ejected??

Tuck coaches reserves, so I guess he's there to keep the bench entertained for the 39 minutes they don’t play.

Vozzo gets half a game and scores 3 points. Gun.

Warriors pulling a Forestville playing an import 20 seconds?

Webber got ejected good makes himself look silly out there thinks he runs the show at norwood but is doing nothing positive for the club. Hasn't been able to shoot this year looking at the box score each week his numbers this year are terrible. Yes he’s had amazing seasons but maybe his time is running out

So are West officially done for finals? Can south make a run? Will Centrals sneak in?

South aren't making a run. They've beaten 3 bottom feeders, don't get ahead of yourself.

Rule west out. Way below expectations

Haven't seen any centrals, should really get to a game. Surprise team of the year

Did Perry get injured on the first possession of the game? Serious injury ?

Can't all be at the game hero

Back sooner than you think

Rios now a citizen so my guess is an import will be getting off the plane this week. Not sure if it's possible rule wise but we all know that’s not an issue for Andy.

Heard a couple of rumours.... sounds like West are reconsidering their decision to take Thomas over Vozzo. Wouldn't be surprised if Corey offers vozzo the imports salary. Don’t blame him at all.

Vozzo has an insane upside.... savvy passer, unlimited range, out of the gym athletisim and great leader it’s a no brainer.

Webber averaging 9 ppg, 6 apg, 4 rpg shooting at 30% and 29% from 3.

I heard he is also as of this week

Time a couple of Webbers were permanently ejected?

Couple of injuries for Eastern early in last nights 50 point loss to the Pioneers. Tough road trip for the Mavs.

Perry or Morris likely to be long term injuries?

Riewer for Centrals was on fire last night, 10-10 from the field and 8-8 from 3. Centrals could sneak in if they can find a way to contiune to play well and win a few road games. Very young team with a lot of athletic ability. Fun to watch

Do Mount Gambier get any spectators come with them when they travel

I wouldn't call losing their 36er a lucky break!

Top four is done, just jostling for positions now.
Eagles, Flames, Rockets and Pioneers.
Tigers and Lions to fight it out for fifth spot.

Why or how are West so bad? From something to really nothing very quickly as there is no way that Petty outcoached Corey and West has a much better roster than South.

Player attitudes, discipline, no chemistry or just the wrong mix??? I don't think blaming Kubank everytime something is wrong is quite correct either. Trouble in Bearcat land big time.

You have North locked in but not Tigers even though they have 1 more loss? Why is that? Tigers also I think are 2-0 against Centrals already.

I have North locked in over Tigers for two reasons.
They are now winning and are too talented for that to stop as well as Drmic being ruled out for the rest of the season.

Being an import down doesn't help, even though you could argue South only having one as will with Zinser terrible. But losing West and Braithwaite was big forcing Spud and Truslove into more minutes. Chemistry doesn't seem to be there either, Thomas a good guard and leader but not a finisher.

Cameron Bell has the love and support of his friends and family so that means he is really good as basketball, just ask Nik Desantis

A player who should know better getting reported doesn't help either.

Tigers already have a replacement import for Drmic. Them and North (who have been very underwhelming since round 1) will fight it out for 4th/5th.

If North beat Centrals next round you have to think the 5 is set.

Will all be about who is peaking come finals time.
Gambier and North have had slower starts due to significant personnel changes and gelling time.
Norwood and Southern had great first rounds due to chemistry and stability but i have a hunch will lose more in this second round.
Eagles with Majok in are seriously stacked and will finish top.
Centrals are very good and may sneak in.
My finishing order will be-
Eagles, Gambier, Rockets, Flames and Tigers.

Southern, Eagles and Norwood have had just as much personnel changes as North.

Southern started 0-2 including getting pumped by West which now looks like a terrible loss. They have had good wins against North, Mt Gambier and Centrals since.

Southern, Eagles and Norwood have kept the majority of their core with some additions.

Southern have 3 new starters how do you figure they're in any way similar to last year?

Don't necessarily mean starters. Have Johns and CJ plus Burns, Dodman etc on the bench. Addition by subtraction apparently of Mays, plus Drmic was there a couple of years ago.

West are terrible now but that win against Southern was impressive. They were really good that night. There best is good enough it's disappeared though.

I don't think anyone would confuse the subtraction of Mays as an addition.

Losing a bloke averaging 30 and 12 on about 90% shooting the last month is a good thing?

On the court Mays is great, a lot of off court issues though. Not sure if they've been sorted out this year. Hence addition by subtraction, even Deano wanted no part of him, just the unscrupulous Andy gave him a shot.

Why are returning college kids seen as the missing parts, often they're a distraction in that it takes a while to integrate into a team that's been together for 6 months. Maybe as some depth but shouldn't be relied upon as integral parts. More likely the kids that are leaving will be missed, Hoppo and a few central kids will be greatly missed. Also heard a rumour Diing is being looked at by a few nbl clubs, if he leaves that'll be a big hole to fill.

Dunno man, talking to actual Forestville players instead of flogs on here, it sure doesn't sound like there are literally any issues with the bloke.

Why was he passed up at north, eastern and centrals? Won't mention the issue due to legal restraints but was quite serious. But I imagine him and Rashad get along pretty well.

Yes, he smokes weed. Like a shit load of people in a country years behind many others. If that was genuinely the reason clubs have passed him up then I'm embarrassed for them.

Think he is much more settled this year and it's showing in his play too. Very talented.

Great role model for kids! Is that all he does seeing you know him so well?

I'm embarrassed for you dude

Won't somebody think of the children!!!

Embarrassed. In case you didn't know it's illegal no whatever what your thoughts on the topic is. You going to go to junior trainings and preach the virtues of smoking dope to the kids, pretty sure the forestville parents might have something to say.
So are you categorically going to confirm he is a drug user on this forum? Will the president acknowledge and back the use of illegal substances?
Don't think I'll be the embarrassed one, willing to put your name publicly here, or are you the one embarrassed or are you the major hypocrite? Ball in your court buddy!

Surprised you're so shocked, all you heroes knew anyway apparently.

It’s pretty embarrassing still thinking weed is bad just because it’s illegal lol.

Mate, I was embarrassed for the guy that was embarrassed for the clubs who supposedly passed on May smh! Having said that Eagles do allow Tucker around the team and everyone knows his history and surprised to see him still around the team especially as of late..

Good chance he doesn't smoke, just made the rumour up himself so he didn’t have to play for basket cases like Mavs and Centrals

"willing to put your name publicly here?"

Are you willing to put your name next to the retarded shit you came up with? Guess he'll also tell the kids how awesome speeding is if he sometimes goes a bit too fast without realising?

Put your name out champ and say he smokes. Still waiting or you just going to keep up this innuendo it's ok despite it being illegal. Would like the president to come out and support your claims clown! But you're too scared to stand by your convictions!

Will that really truly help you sleep at night?

Yes it will, good to see you standing by your convictions. Hypocrite!

Okay mate, sleep tight

Would you dob your mates into the police if you knew they smoked? Of course you wouldn't. Stop pretending to be so high and mighty about a plant.

My name is Seb Vozzo and I can confirm Greg Mays smokes the devils lettuce

"Southern, Eagles and Norwood have kept the majority of their core with some additions."

Norwood did lose Stanbridge, but I agree with you here.

Forestville lost their starting PG, SG, PF, C (among others) from 2018...

Southern lost Mays and Brine - massive losses: look at their performances with Forestville and Norwood this year...

TLDR: 784, you're a moron.

Norwood's core stayed the same and Brine is a like for like replacement (upgrade) over Stanbridge. They’ve always had a Legan type just usually off the bench.

Southern and Forestvilles lineups are completely different to last year. Both teams play a vastly different style to what they did last year. Forestville started off blowing teams out and have gradually come back to the pack. Southern started slowly but appear to be working it out. Not sure how they’ll go without Drmic. Have heard they might have a replacement but have no idea what kind of player it’ll be.

The word going around is that weed is not the issue. Why did North tear up his contract?

You tell us mate

North also has four new starters this year. They seem to be starting to work together. I'm thinking they will be top three if they can get their act together

No thread is safe from Perthworld's insignificant contributions.

Centrals couldn't defend Cameron Bell and Southern just lost their best player. I'd put a few dollars on North.

True, they didn't lose by 50 second time around

I see the top 4 finish like this,

1. Norwood
2. MT.Gambier
3. Forestville
4. North

Is Southern good? Yes, of course but you just don't replace 27ppg like that so would I be shocked if they fall down to 5th or out of it? Not really. They did beat Centrals twice which could help at the end.

I like Centrals lineup a lot when they come to play. Young team who is still learning and growing with a few leaders in Riewer, Cententra and Jones. Looking at the remaining schedule the league didn't do them any favors as they have to play @North @Mt.Gambier, @Norwood, @West, @Sturt, @Eastern and @South still with only 2 home games left against Woodville and Mt.Gambier. Not an easy task at all. Also heard a rumor last week, that they will be losing Dau for at least 3 games coming up as he has a tryout with an NBL team and will be traveling with them.

Overall I personally think besides the top 3 or 4 teams anyone can beat anyone in this league which makes for some fun basketball.

Jimma up for a DP spot or roster? Kid can play. Wish him luck

Thomas at Reserves tonight on crutches. West in a world of hurt if he's out long term.

Mavs - how bad are they
Gone backwards again

Not the way Valk played in reserves tonight.

Valk? God help West!!! He's terrible, slightly behind Jordy Wilson in towel waving is all he's good at.

How would you know?

Whats Valk production in Premier League the last few seasons?

Hasn't been given an opportunity. Can play.

He started games early in 2017 I remember before Thomas got back from college.

Started, had a good game and then got worse until he's a towel waver now. If he was any good don't you think he would get some of Spuds minutes???

Maybe that's on the coach.

Basketball is not always fair.

People consistently getting shit on in these threads:

1 Seb Vozzo
2. Rigby Alphabet
3. Jordy Wilson
4. The entire West Adelaide men's roster
5. Nick Desantis

3. Blokes who think they earned played of the week with the third best performance in that game

Bloke who's gone out of his way to change his name from 'blank’ to Anon having a crack at anonymous posters. Shut up please

Shut up please.

Anon, proving not all heroes wear capes! Chill out dude, they cop shit for a reason, they're not juniors so no rules have been broken. If they have a problem let them fight their own battles. All you're doing is waving a red rag to a bunch of bulls.

Heard that Lual Diing is joining Jimma on that tour and Chol Luk heading back to college before season ends along with Anyang, obviously not with him at Oklahoma. Had an easy schedule with plenty of home games and only beaten Norwood who are above them. Be interesting how a young team reacts. Riewer showing he is a class act and shooter, expect him to make the all star 5 at the point and Jones pretty reliable without much depth in the frontcourt. However if they lose those other guys can expect them to struggle down the stretch, teams will hone in on Riewer. Expect north to overpower them inside this week, don't think Jones can overcome all the bigs the rockets can throw against them. But a huge improvement over the mess Bobby Cunningham left. Pity the women haven't followed suit. If they'd sorted their second import out sooner they wouldn't be winless, apparently Goff pulled out at the last minute and no big recruits followed the KB signing like they expected.

Pretty sure the point guard spot in the all star 5
May go to Kane dewitt or tom Daly

It'll be close race with those three. Reiwer been unbelievable with the young team.

Did Patty Thomas die?

Who was all star 5 in the guard spots last year? Doyle and Teys?

Johns and Legan

Neither in the mix this year?

Legan 22/5/3
Daly 23/4/5
De Wit 10/6/9
Reiwer 14/5/5
Johns 11/5/3

Riewer has great percentages too. He and Daly a level above.

I think it's time for west to be a bit realistic.... they are horrid this year it’s time to blow this thing up and stop playing their veterans. Give the young guys a good go get them ready for future years. Look at attracting some good young players I hear Vozzos on the market as a great starting PG, maybe Cameron bell could be his back up?

They have been by trying Rennie as a starter, Ciganovic started early games and Johnson is first off the bench? All three are young guys.

Screwing up the second import and sending him home is what has killed them. Would've had a couple more wins with him and still in the hunt for a finals spot.

Coach made a stand on attitude which you have to respect.

May send the opposite message, if a coach values attitude more than Wins then theres not a whole lot to play for

thomas averages 14-9-5 and near triple double most weeks and not put in that group of Pg's earlier in thread ^ is ridiculous.

Blake brings enough attitude, don't need another big fella bringing attitude.

"May send the opposite message, if a coach values attitude more than Wins then theres not a whole lot to play for"

They weren't winning with him, and their attitudes likely wouldn't allow them to going forward.

14, 9 and 5 probably won't get it done for all league teams if you’re losing to teams like south!

Write both the "is patty dead" comment and then left him off my stats list. Oops

funny, all league teams are not team awards.. so not sure that matters

"May send the opposite message, if a coach values attitude more than Wins then theres not a whole lot to play for"

This could well be the dumbest post I've ever seen on hoops.

There's a lot of inaccuracies on this post, and most of them are not worth commenting on, but there's one I can't let pass.

Saying Valk is second best towel waver behind Jordy Wilson is outrageous.

Valk is easily number 1.

Hmmm, I think rankings are about right. Jordys move "The Dice roll" is probably better than Valks "Lariat", but admittedly Lucas is out of practice this season.

Seening the Centrals have success this season after the past few years has been fun to follow. Such a young team and how they got Riewer is beyond me. He is averaging 14-5-5 and doesn't even shoot or force nearly as much as other imports while shooting 55% from the field and 62% from 3 going into next weekend, that's ridiculous.

Absolutely will be tough for them to get in the top 5 with a lot of there guys leaving durning the season. I wouldn't expect them to make the playoffs, but who knows.

Comes down to talent. Apart from Riewer, Jones has been steady for them so their imports are already way better than previous years.
Then getting Chol Luk and Lwal Diing to come in and suddenly they are very quick and athletic. Also addition by subtraction from some of the other guys, Tyson Hoffman and Simpson Junior were well below premier league standard.
They were looking the same a few years back but Bobby Cunningham came in and tore it all apart, just wanted to play his favourites and unbelievably bad son.
