Big V breaking news - Pakenham's new recruit

Saw Casey men play a few games, both the games they lost actually.. Now I'm a person from what you people would call a "big club" and have no affiliation with anything lower than SCM but I could tell straight away that the Casey men's team was just strolling through preseason just trying to work things out.. Could have easily beaten both Maccabi & Keilor if they wanted to. They'll be a team to watch this season, don't worry about that!
And for Good old 'Pakky' for the amount of news articles they put out on pretty much everyone on their roster and they way they talked their team up so heavily during the off season I was expecting a SEABL/NBL caliber team but saw the complete opposite... The Warriors have a lot of work to do to live up to the off season hype they built up around themselves and your captain walking out on the club is not a move that is going to help anytime soon.

I guess that's why you don't start to make noise about an announcement until the signing is 100% finalized and done. Haha

So Breaking News, Pakenham's Captain James Topp has walked from the club.

And the Import cancelled due to family commitments.

hmmmm someone jumped the gun announcing news.

Everyone might as well give up, Cavs have got this season in the bag baby, Will smash everyone!!

@Happy Days, they don't grow on trees though do they?

Plenty of coaches want the bigger bodies, especially at the collegiate level where your 6' 8" plus athletes can tear up the court...

Finding them here is not so easy, not with the talent required for elite level basketball, I guess that's why so many go back to football!

Yeah baby we are going to destroy all who comes before us. Everyone else give up cavsNATION

#CavsNation baby 2014 champions in all three divisions

The Goat Dr I don`t think anyone bagged you, however if you are going to label yourself as "the most up and coming association" You need more then a couple of senior mens signings.

Perhaps "Most up and coming division two mens side" is more fitting.

Good on you for promoting and getting your club out there, just a rather large call to make one would think.

I think any where that is growing as rapidly as the south east can only increase the potential for those clubs to become big clubs. however governance and administration go along way to putting it all together. and that is across all levels. not only Representative but also Domestic Clubs as well.

If they are all working as one to do the same job then of course it is possible.

And lets not forget coaches. It's one thing to have a great administration. but admin doesn't teach the kids.. They need to have good coaches in the programs as well as leading the program... I Watched a few Pakenham sides a couple of weeks ago and they are still playing solid Zone Defense for 40 minutes.. really not teaching young athletes how to play man to man.. and definitely not teaching coaches how to read tempo's and make adjustments.

Lots of different Area's to consider when a club expands not just a growth area. but put the Admin and the Coaching area's together properly and I would agree that both these clubs would be up the top somewhere in the next 3 to 5 years.

Put all your hopes on a few people and you`re playing with fire, look at last year, two injuries takes them from a top four side to the bottom placed side.

Good on them if they have in fact pulled off the signing. Be good to see their juniors doing more though.

If Eric is in fact signing there why would they not get this done earlier and attempt for DIV1. Must be a bit of coin in it for him to be willing to drop down so many levels. Or will the press release go on about how he wants to give back at the lower level and build a club blah blah blah.

Certainly going places with there senior "TEAM" at Packy, but to pass that off as the whole association is a far stretch.
