Eltham Dandenong Tournament

Titan 15 ? just where exactly did I say Waverley are favourites, you put that comment in yourself (reply #309557)

please let me know, cos if I did I will retract that statement for this one...............

Your team will win cos you would have to be the best ever, in YOUR opinion and thats all that counts

and the 2 boys are in the 1st team and cannot be dropped down, at least you have that right

oh ps I spoke with Mr 44 (close friend) he wants to come and watch your team play - care to let him know who they are ?

Mate, this is becoming a joke, as if the waverley club would condone doing the wrong thing, I think i have exlained the situation suffciently, if you have a problem take it further with BV.
The Club would welcome it..
We have done the right thing as club as we always do by citing the correct documentation..

On another note you seriously need to mind your own business and get a life!!

so Anon seems to be right with his claims

Well official at Waverley, how is that i have documentational proof that he is not of U18 age?

Waverley play raw and dirty all the team, it's an american game style, but it works, it's the same coach who got them a BigV title last year, with a massively undertalented side that beat a stacked Ringwood squad.

Gee, I bet that Sturt people are loving this topic. Usually they cop the "Tall Poppy Syndrome" bashers on Hoops SA, but now we have our 'Eastern Brothers' canning each other on a SA basketball forum.
I know-- Hoops SA welcomes everyone, but it's just interesting to read the comments from over the border.

that was my last post as I couldnt be bothered arguing with the MORONS who hide behind the anonymous flag - honestly grow some balls

Anonymous #922 research this - I did know 2 were out injured and a 3rd was injured during semi but they did start semi with ten (I counted them on my fingers) but Waverley had 8 (1 out injured) all tournament
Waverley beat Knox and has beaten Melb, Dandenong and Ballarat with undermanned team

SO GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT BEFORE YOU ACCUSE ME OF NOT HAVING AN IDEA

oh and as an observer of the final you must mean your sons (or should I say daughters) team wasnt good enough to make it - were did they finish

oh and as for the coaches comment how involved are you with state - 18 players are to be chosen - 10 players 8 emergencies - is that in the ball park or not , oh and 6 of them at least will be bottom age

I do know you left out the Keilor All Australian who is a relative walk up starter

I do know a few from ECC are already out

I do know a few names from Melbourne are in

I do know a few from DV are in

I do know from past experience that at trials they only watch those that have been pre-determined as state capable, and if your not on the list your out

Prove me wrong!

hey anonymous reply #469
put your name in the next reply and I'll give you rocketscientist where the sun dont shine
That is the place where your brain gets squashed from sitting on it all day

you must be a DV player or parent cos you seem upset they lost

and just making the finals doesnt make them all worthy of state positions

otherwise big red wouldnt have been cut

Anonymous #381 how was DV undermanned
they had 10 players against Waverley in the Semi Final

And the Coaches are from DV and Melb

What about players from Keilor, Werribee, Waverley, Dandenong and Knox

I can speak about that, i stayed at a strong club, and they continued to recruit top end players and not giving me any chance and not giving me access to the top players. However, i changed clubs and it's paid dividends. Players who aren't given the opportunity should continue to leave to other clubs just to get the opportunity, club recruitment has gone to ridiculous levels to win championships, not to develop players.

Coaches do need to pick teams and get the right players and right team

The only sad thing for those kids in clubs who have a very strong age group is that if they dont make the top team they have little chance of being invited to elite camps or State etc.

In those States where attendance at clinics or to State trials is by invitation only, the politics of making sure all clubs get to send players disadvantages many kids who happen to be loyal to a stonger club

Any wonder there is so much movement between teams as club loyalty can be detrimental to opportunity!!!

More than a dozen U18 boys out there but state coaches are likely to choose from their own rep teams

team has been selected prior to trials

total waste of time

DV and Melb will be majority - watch and see

You'll probably find that the 4ths are completely a bottom age side, and they're keeping together as a 2 year plan.

I agree with thoughts on finals.

It would help if the website included ladders for each pools so teams knew if they had a game or not. Number of teams still dont know if they have games in a few hours! Hard to have a life and play basketball!!!

Tigers boys have lots of depth at 16 level esp their bottom age guards. Initeresting to see how many make state team/squad given depth and dominance at 14 level last year. 1s very impressive and so are the 2s.
Dandenong 16 boys also look good as do Knox & Bulleen

18 Melb boys also look good but their 12s and 14s are not as strong.

Sturt 16 looked good against Sandringham however neither them or West will put up much challenge at the classics this year. Looks like this will be a Victorian white wash again.

i think waverley 1 beat melb 1 under 18s in the first grading game by 1 point

yes they did - great games both times

U20 men - Waverley gave Melb 2 a lesson

U18 men - Melb 1 just beat Waverly 1 by 5

Congrats to the state boys - nice to have your coaches on your side I guess

Who won and was the Melb 2 team their 14 side from last year?
