No chance at all. They have absolutely no leadership and no point guards. They'll finish outside the finals again after winning the summer.

Christian Bell
- if he is healthy plays the point idiot.

Robin Eley can run the point aswell .

Wasn't Christian Bell once on the Sixers payroll as a point guard?

Mr Panther would never smash anyone - he could be accused, the same as Dougie of being a 'little' exuberant at times.

But they are never nasty rough

Thanks Isaac , Bell is a very good player. He has had a shocking run with injuries. He was being primed to be a role player behind Brett Maher a few years ago,AT THE POINT he can certainly play.

I would add to the list above - Corey Ottey as promising. Versatile 6'4 swing man who can hit the 3 and rebound.

I would like to weigh in to this debate , and ask ONE of the many "Anonymous" posters (#68939)what does State Champs wins have to do with anything ?
These guys have to learn to play ABA, with older more experienced players. Juniors doesnt mean jack once you've played a season or two of ABA.

So i guess rather than post your glib little remarks about 'what is so promising' - keep your ears and eyes open and see how they fare this year.

Grantham and Cioffi are the ones to watch IMO- provided they can get a run.

Papendiek & Webber made state in U18s & Lampshire in U16s. So half of them did. And Barker was a reserve in U16s, I think?

Grantham is in the Academy, do must be decent at least. Webber has played a couple of ABL seasons with mixed results. Lampshire & Papendiek have played seniors for a while and would be looking at getting a regular spot in the ABL side. I'd say Cioffi & Barker are decent reserves players & fringe ABL at best.

I wouldn't exactly call them world beaters, but they're not the worst crop of juniors coming up.

No one likes me,so I left.

Geoffrey did a great job as assistant last year and it is disappointing for the club that he has chosen not to continue.

I have been told that Dave Webber has been named assistant coach for this season.

Who is best juniors, in the ABA season coming up.

69038, 69039, 69041 y dont u express ur opinions directly to dave instead of doing it here? He is just a volunteer after all. At least dave has is stepping up to take on a coaching role instead of taking the role of an assesor of coaches. Dave has a great mind for the game at the local level.

Carlo has done great with his jnr teams in past few years and a number of his teams have overachieved. I am sure Carlo and Dave will make a great assistant coaching combination.

Barks is out there and making a go of it and he is going pretty well. Are you?

Whether u are right or wrong at least have the balls to go to the people involved and tell them what u think!

Good result for Norwood last night in reserves...Hey Keith, do you want to come and play for the Panthers???

thought this was supposed to be an open forum. seems that people can put them selves on here to blow their own trumpet but no one is allowed to have a different opinon, as long as we all say something nice everbody is happy. how bloody boring

andrew jantke, another coach shafted by webber

casey, I wouldnt go that far! they actually hardly know each other.

we have no issues with anyone whatsoever. everyone is just wanting to get on and enjoy our game, learn and the enjoy people in it. i am sure the ppl u speak of are the same too.

no room for hating mate, no need, and its not worth the effort.

no hating baron,justs facts

mr sapwell needs to learn how to coach, tonight was pathetic, norwood could've won but everytime somebody was on a roll the coach, sapwell took them off.. scotty lampshire doesn't get enough court time, he got under 10 minutes court time and he could have been a stand out tonight.. norwood needs a new coach!!
