R10 ABL Action

Don't let them get to you Jack.
I don't always agree with your posts, but I love your passion- keep it up.

"Hydra", you obviously change your non de plume regularly and this dilutes anything you say. I will say that you have put a lot of time into your response above. I was unaware I had to comment on every post on this forum, but judging by the venom in your posts you obviously feel some injustice of some kind. Have I done anything to you personally? If you want to carry on just send me a personal email, you have my email address, it's there above.

Yes, but how? If the junior programme is a problem, how do yo fix it?

So Hydra, we all love to hang shite on our northern cousin, but at the end of the day
"be part of the solution, not the problem"

So, if you were Presidente of the club, what would you do, and how would you do it?

Looks like some sunlight still at Hillcrest!

What happened at Starplex?

Forestville vs Bearcats

Women:
Bearcats lost by 10.Big comeback at the end.Wasnt enough. Too many chances not accurate to bother scorers.They are slipping down the ladder without Sam.
Must be able to get a Elbow Sharpener from somewhere?The next team against Eagles will need one.

Men:
Bearcats won by 6 or 7 points.Its been a while since last quarter scoring was neglible( that is held scoreless) from both sides.Bearcats' defense shook the eagles neck.No 'I' in 'Team',just 'Me'!

I think those coaches not currently coaching ABL and wishing to coach ABL next season should consider dusting their CVs as it looks like there will be at least one position advertised.

A perfect entree to a return to NBL for some?

Valid comment RW!

I must concur with Wows thoughts re the Lions.

I believe a certain player (their best 3 point shooter) is a bit unmotivated/disenchanted at the moment too and for the first time in many years has decided not to play.

GIVE CARLIN MORE MINUTES!!!!!!!!! - things actually happen with the team everytime he's on court. Even just looking at live "play by play" stats last week you could see this fact. Also Zane needs to play a play more minutes and get more confident to play his natural game.

And didn't North also beat Forrestville earlier in the year? I think you are being a tad harsh on the Rockets. As you said at bare minimum 5th spot is theres to loose but with big Pero they have the potential to push the top 4.

And the worst?

Lions are better than a no name cordial.

Take out the starting 5 from all teams and run with 5 from the bench. Who would be the strongest?

I think you be very optimistic to back North this weekend.

Run home is Tigers (H) (W/L), Eagles (H) (L), Lions (A) (W), South (H) (W), Norwood (A) (L), Warriors (H) (W), West (A) (L), Sturt (H) (L)

I think they'll miss finals, or if they get to 5th should be a good warm up for the 4th team.

Time to turn our attention east!
Can we get the top teams in Melbourne at present, and possible NSW entries.
