Classics Results

Woah, #478499, not sure who we are supposed to be hating or attacking here. Perpetuating hate ? Who is criticizing the results of clubs? I think you need to relax a bit.

Are you talking about people hating Sturt?? I think you will find the Victorians have a huge amount of respect for Sturt and thought they performed very well this year (and other years for that matter). Have re-read the posts to try and see what prompted the wild screaming you were doing above but can't find it. Successful clubs will always be the subject of criticism, for winning too much or for losing when they are not supposed to so I wouldn't be so stressed about it.

When it comes to having respect for other clubs, on Friday night Bulleen lost a young player tragically and the support and respect that has been shown by numerous clubs who play against us every week has been nothing other than amazing. When tragedy strikes it reminds you how close a community the basketball world is and Bulleen are thankful for how our competitors have responded.

478442 ....If you care to actually look at southern pens record lately. They cleaned up at country champ div 1, for un18 s this year, they have best part of the un16 country Vic national side from two years ago and best part of un18 national side from this year who won silver narrowly loosing to a very loaded Vic metro side, so how could you possibly say it was not expected. This same team I think won vc reserve or came pretty close to as a bottom age side last year. They were totally expected to win classic.

Not sure if anyone realizes but we had 2 teams in the Classic in the under 18 girls. Our second side qualified to compete in front of a huge number of clubs who didn't make it. Our third side came third in 18A grade at the Nunawading tournament. A great result and a testament to the depth we have in that age group.

It isn't all about titles but we are very proud of our 14's and 16 girls for winning. It is extremely hard to win at the Classic and when you do, you need to celebrate their achievement, just as we celebrated our under 14.4 boys win at the Nunawading tournament. It is frustrating reading that because you want to cheer for title wins, you are accused of ignoring, not developing or not caring about the rest of our players not in the number 1 teams. So for those who want to believe the bigger clubs are all about the elite, go ahead if it makes you feel better.

Hey anonymous, not knocking anyone! Notice the three clubs with the titles are also the top clubs with depth and plenty of teams at that lower level as well. Just a reminder that there were some title winners and some new title winners such as Southern Pen who deserve some recognition. Also was remiss of me to not mention what a fabulous result for the Altona 16 girls making the GF as well as the Keilor 14 boys. Both unexpected grand finalists and have done their club proud in making the final.

And when picking a club for your child, you not only look at success measured in titles and development, you also look at club culture, dont you think? What is the club culture like at all of those clubs I wonder.

Loving the ranking system. Understand people are trying to take some positives for their club from the Classic results. Let's not forget that titles is what we play for so with respect, Melbourne, Dandenong and Bulleen are stand out clubs with 2 titles each. Huge congrats to Southern Pen under 18 girls, massive win for that club and not expected by anyone outside that club. And good news for Knox under 12's.

A good way of doing it. Now what about the average score? A total score gives us the depth of the club, but an average score might show quality v quantity

Great effort by all our girls eight games in total.Great effort by all and some great games were played everywhere you looked. This was the Nunawhathe tournament as we called it after so many games. Cheers.

Yes Anon, playoffs for all positions with fixture set by quarter final and semi final results.
I think in most age groups the format gets the correct teams through to the final four.
Although in the U12 girls the two grand finalists were in the same initial pool so I am not sure how the rankings are done.

So Vic Parent did the girls have playoffs for grand final and 3 and 4th or was it all based on ladder standings.

u12 Girls
Knox
