2015 Big V Divisions - whose in which ones?

They are changing the face of men's basketball on the peninsula by spending ludicrous amounts of money on their division 2 men and continuing to suck

As good as this year when you were going to win all 3 championships ?

So apart from being Player/Coach of the BigV Men, what else does Demarcus Berry do in order to earn his income from Mornington? My understanding is that he has now outsourced all of the rep trainings to Impact...seems as though he has worked it all out haha - get others to do the work yet still get paid, clever chap

Maccabi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think Sth pen women are jumping the gun here, big jump to SCW from div1 unless they are planning on recruiting big time for next season. Yes they have kids who won VJBL playing, but that's about it when you look at the stats from last year they were the main contributors, and whilst yes they are a talented group , they are not scw calibre just yet, give them another year or two. Jamie lee Pearce cannot do it all, in fact she has never played at this level either and as she plays a big, she will come up against much bigger bodies than she's used to.

Have to agree with you Happy Days. I vaguely remember the statement being that the new players (6 or 7 of them?) were going to add to the existing talent. Will be interesting to see how many minutes that existing talent receives next season.
Would be nice to see yapper coach his way to success instead of recruit his way to success.

Also, from what I've heard:
Shep, Casey & Keilor to D1M. Would make a 2 x 8 team conference
3 or 4 new youth Womens teams to create a YL2W.
Apart from Sth Pen women going up, haven't heard much at SC level.

Happy Days, I get where your coming from, however, if the juniors aren't there, you can go with the approach of building something super exciting and talented that all the juniors can then aspire to. The current U18s wouldn't be up to it, however, if the senior program is successful (which they should be) then that will create excitement and a pathway for the current u12s and u14s in the years to come.

As for teams changing divisions;
Shepp to D1M
Sth Pen to SCW
Western Port to D1W
Mildura with YLM
Mornington with YLW
A lot of talk from one of the teams out Casey/Pakenham/Keysborough way (can't remember which 1) of them trying to jump from D2M to SCM
Supposedly Melbourne to SEABL (or at least trying)

Some teams should be made to go down a division, will be interesting to see if any have volunteered to step down a division or been "Strongly encouraged" to go down a division. On that note, what should BigV do with teams who are horrible in D2?
