Do any of these continue? It's a lot to ask these players to keep stay engaged mentally while also staying in shape physically with all the stop and go. Is it worth it? 3 lockdowns within 6 weeks of each other doesn't bode well for the future
They are allowed to exercise. Go for a run for an hour. Go do sprints. You people make it sound like they are in jail. There are a million ways to keep up your fitness
Fitness and Game Fitness are 2 different things,
Not sure what will happen but with this weeks games in Big V and vjbl cancelled the season will end up lope sided come finals. Nbl1 causing Clubs pain. Even if it gets going again with no spectators and time running out to complete a fair fixture I am thinking it in the hands of the gods
games cancelled this week, will be cancelled next week as well. right into finals after 2 lockdowns over the course of a month? and that is if the lockdown ends next week which will probably not happen... increase risk of injuries, teams not practicing, you name it...
Above start a new thread , this is about next week not months away
086 really?
Are you in charge here?
Calm down champ.
Can someone get some tissues for all the injuries they are going to have...that no one has had yet

Straight from a club Big V season finals for top 4 teams will occur for everyone Yay!!!!!!! More info coming in next couple of days on big v. they have been in mmeetings with clubs during today just finalising things for VYC
FROM THE HORSES MOUTH - Aiming for 11/12 sept all KNOCKOUT TOP 4 finals played on one weekend at big large metro venues selcted by league to give best shot to complete them and regional teams will travel down for weekend.
a reserve week will be used I think the next week 18/19 sept if not able to play 11/12 sept or clubs arent able to train during the week leading up to finals. which makes sense to ensure we can at least train together once or twice before playing finals fgames.
Well done big v - aim for the stars !!!! we all need hope and what a brilliant plan and news for us all today
But bad news will be 18-19 Sep the cord will officially be CUT on the season if not playing finals that weekend. Fingers crossed this doesn;t happen but at least we have hope again and Big V are doing what they should be doing giving it the best shot to get the seson complete rather than just giving up!!!!!
Yep can confirm will be a one weekend hit out at MSAC. Semis on Saturday GF on Sunday.
No Spectators.
No Home court advantage.
No preparation.
As for why they want to bring everyone to the one venue is baffling. Seperate people incase of a random exposure.
They have lost the plot.
Why MSAC? Teams have worked hard for home court advantage and have no say in this?

Our club was told today all finals will be scheduled across multiple larger metro venues over a weekend so calm down on your covid stuff lol and msac.
Reason for this is cause finals need to be done and dusted quickly in a weekend and keeping home crt doesnt work cause of regional teams and as a result no double header finals. Makes sense to me peoples lol
Imagine playing finals then few days later covid hits and we cant get to play in the granny. so makes sense to me to knock it over quickly when we get chance.
You guys are living in the past and fairy world of what is ideal. Sure yeah minimal training into a final isnt ideal or playing 2 or 3 finals in a weekend, but is 2021 people in a pandemic! Only other thing is to just give up like society seems to do on everything.
So i reckon its awesome we have this little potential window of getting back on for finals! My coach always says think back to 2020 when we didnt even get to play- so suck it up and acceppt things for what they are. and just play when you can be grateful - and if you dont want to play dont - they said that to our club to. no one is forcing these negative persons from playing.
Ok Gman rant over - checking out - bring on sept 11 peoples get around it & if you dont want to dont- dont ruin it for the rest of us
The NBL1 teams that can train are still training!
Care to share who your team? Because my team sits in the top 4 D1 and has heard nothing from Big V... easy to come on here sharing whatever you feel like but give something that makes it more believable... unless your team is more special than mine
I think this is for YL1M and YL Champs division. As you say Div 1 men clubs heard nothing yet

just got off phone to my coach its back baby!!!!! . he said league are just chatting i think with conference club teams last 2 days and this why there are rumours everywhere , cause i think its a bit more complicated with getting finals done quickly for conf rather than over 2 days for semi/gf for others?
once sorted there will be public today or tomorrow my coach said on everything
so dont feel too unwanted d1 team lol we are the complicated bunch i think in conf holding everything back now- info stuff is coming - and yes its true finals time!!!!!!!!!!!!! congrats
lets just hope we get on court by then though lol
EXCITED!!!!!!

60 cases again today. Think we are dreaming about getting back for finals on 11th as per the website schedule plan
Fingers crosssed the reserve week they have set aside can be used so we can play finals
Bloody COVID and lockdowns this stuff will never end .
Tipping Mon 13th sep we might be done though when they cancel the season if we are still in lockdown on their plan.
Oh well guess there is 2022 then - but who knows on that even . This is a joke seriously cant even play a game of basketball !!!
Hopefully if scumo stops lying and we do get the vaccine promised months ago we can get vaccinated to 80% by Christmas and start to live like most other countries are already.
I would expect the NBL1 South comp to be canned next week.
Seeing how high the numbers are, i doubt finals will happen as well
NBL1 South would still have to contend with border restrictions for SA and Tas even Vic get up and going. Things won't align there. All 3 teams from SA/Tas are in finals and all in with a good shot of winning it. So that would negate what NBL1 North have done and just jumped straight in to finals. Unless of course they are going to be total arseholes and cut the 3 interstate teams out altogether??
