ABA Central Champions

I appreciate your last reply what the. Apart from the minor scuffle, the crowd on both sides was fantastic and created an atmosphere worthy of a grand final. Well done to all!!

do I detect a healthy, passionate rivalry on the horizion between these two clubs ?

phew ! - thanks for setting the record straight - I was accross the stadium and only saw what i stated - obviously some Woodville fans lost the plot

I'm sorry, I was going to let sleeping dogs lie, but due to the last remark being made I wish to inform YOU of the FACTS.
The adult you are referring to was my husband, who was making the woodville u/18 boy, to whom i had just spoken with, aware that he saw what was done behind my back as I was returning to my seat. The actions you are referring to was those of my husband pointing to the lad then pointing to his eye to let him know that he was being watched. To have a 7 year old girl come over to her parents to tell them that they had just had empty bottles thrown at them and then to look up and see the woodville kids throwing a cushion to the rear of the stadium that they had snatched from the mavs kids is a disgrace.
And another fact for your information.........security removed the woodville lads not the mavs kids and also stopped an army of woodville supporters from causing any more distress to the mavs kids. The kids were quite happy sitting behind the basket cheering for their team with no adults sitting with them. The only reason adults moved to sit with the kids was to protect them. You would have had to have been blind freddy not to have seen what happened.

Being at the game on Saturday night, I am very disappointed that someone can post such a fabricated story regarding the Mavs cheersquad, which by the way consisted of young Mav players. The majority of them being girls who were there for one reason........to get their heros across the line to win their first championship. The kids that you are referring to were in full voice for ALL of the finals from start to finish. Congratulations to all of those kids, you are an absolute credit to the club!!
Knowing the facts as I do, it seems to me that some people are holding sour grapes.
Congratulations to the Mavs on their sensational win Saturday night!! Good luck to both teams in Geelong.

Moses, no I was not aware Whitmore re-injured his calf again.

Unfortunately, as I wasnt in ym usual spot for the game, I wasnt privy to that sort of information.

The one thing I am sadly disapointed in was the actions of a few Eastern women, sitting with the juniors, engaging in, and encouraging the juniors, to abuse, harass, and even throw things at Woodville fans. Despicable acts again. Security ended up having to step in and separate the groups.

There were 4 main reasons as to last nights result

1/ Jacob Holmes
2/ Jacob Holmes
3/ Tracy York for some reason altering the starting 5, promoting Graves and keeping Whitmore benched.
4/ Woodville playing LAZY defence. Players just not even TRYING to get over screens, not jumping for rebounds.

The players who took the easy way out know who they are, and should be ashamed of how they played.

I would like to comment on the officiating, but that would just sound like sour grapes, so I wont :).

So does playful bantering!

*joins the Holmes bandwagon*

Well, actually I DID post, and I posted the result.

I also actually said congratulations to the winners of both games.

What about being a gracious winner and not trying to rub peopels faces into it?

Good sportmanship runs BOTH ways.

To: Tracy York
Do not be upset that your team could not contain Jacob, messrs. Hopkins, Ninnis and Lovedsy couldn't either.
TO: Those members of the BASA Senior Committee who earlier this year voted for the season to be arranged so that the 36ers players could play for their club sides, fancy letting a non-member club walk away with the title. Next time that you open Pandora's box make sure you know what is in it. The way Eastern played they would have to be a good bet for the premiership next year as well and for every year that Jacob, Brad etc. are part of the team. I saw all the finals mens games and did not see anyone who could challenge Eastern's team for the next 10 years. Eastern you were awesomw, the rest ???????

#903 Makes sense to have the central location Makes sense and BSA in one sentence will never happen, it doesn't matter if Centrals has a home game at Morphett Vale and South have a home game at Lightsview, Gibson doesn't care and he will tell you he doesn't care about clubs or 'making sense'.
If a court is vacant he will put a game there, bad luck.
Yes it might only be Reserves but it is still a chance for senior players to get on court and spectators to watch some basketball at a relatively better level, yes put it at a stadium where social distancing is more achievable.
Maybe you could 'care' about the next 3 rounds you release.
