Junior Results Friday

Titan, you answered the question yourself.

"What would be the difference in travelling 2 hours to play at Centrals at 2 1/2 hours to play at West?" - err, about half an hour!

Look, people don't like change and the most against change are those who will suffer from their current position.

I know, due to your position in SA Basketball, you want to keep in the back blocks on this site and keep your cards to your chest, but please, unless you have a diagnosed mental illness involving multiple personality disorder, just pick a non de plume and stick with it. Most posters on this site, just pick a name and we stick with it. Trying to keep up with you by picking your various name changes is difficult, and it dilutes the message you are attempting to put across.

I know you will have a little sooky sook and have a personal attack at me. If I haven't responded to one of your hooks previously, it's not because I don't like paying you out, it's because I don't tend to read every single post. If you don't get a reply from me after you put up another whinge, it's not because winding you up like a clock doesn't make my day, it's because I'm off to the Sixers!

PS If you want a beer at half time, meet me in the southern bar.

LOL Titan,
but wouldn't Yorke be closest to Centrals? just as Murray Bridge is closest to Mavs?

"the foreign recruitment"
I think what is trying to be said is this. BSA have openly stated they want associations spaced roughly 15 mins apart in Adelaide.

Ideally kids would then play at the association associated with the 15 min travel circle, or their nearest association if they were country, or had tried their original associated first and it didn't work.

So, I will go out on a limb here and say "the foreign recruitment" means actively overlooking the players in that 15 min area and seeking out better players from another associations 15 min area.

I mean, why would a JDO stab a local kid in the back and seek out a player living 30 mins away playing at another club? Does that happen?

Surely, if you looked at the postcodes of players and the postcode of the stadiums they would match up pretty well, wouldn't they.

The Sturt girls aren't as strong as their brothers. If Norwood can repeat those results against the mighty Eagles, then "we have a ballgame"

Success is not the result, success is the sign of improvement along the journey. It's time some people out there stopped looking at the W & L's and focused on skill development. A team may win by 60 but if they haven't followed directions from the coach, played a team game, executed their skills to the best of their ability, be assured that the day they come up against a similar team, they will get caught out. Measure skill, fitness, and mental levels throughout the season and see if you've improved, that's all you can control.

It's good to have inter-club rivalry, but kicking a club when they're down doesn't really help

Must be the new Jordan? (100 point turnaround)
Are Norwood that good, or are Centrals complying with all the previous "whinges" that as a district club they should have ateam in Div 1 in all grades?
Sometimes better to forsake than sacrifice
