Lakeside women are definitely going to be playing small ball in the first third of the season.
Ash Grant apparently has to have a break after WNBL season which seems pretty ridiculous considering she only averages 5-6 min a game and the good Aussie big they have recruited has to finish the US college season.
No Lynx girls and the last season Lakeside second import at the Suns.

and Redhage!

If Gero grab another import:

1- Hussey
2- Adekponya
3- Barrow
4- Cook
5-Wundenberg

6-Import
7-Ralph
8-10 who cares, can win a 40 min game with 7

Willo:

1.Armour
2.Scott
3.Bowie
4.Cody
5. Turner

6- Johnson
7- Evans
8-10 see above

Hawks:

1. Waters
2. Smith
3. Purser
4. ?
5. Carlwell

6 ?
7 ?
8 ?

Hawks don't have much of a bench tbh

Slammers we've already been through so I think the clear top 3 are Gero Willetton and Slammers. I don't think people should look past Stirling either, probably use an import spot on Ellis, but Lindeburg won't return. Add Rhys Vague who is on par with Lindeburg means they are an import better than last year.

in no order:
1-3: Gero, Willetton, Slammers
4-8: Hawks, Giants, Senators, Redbacks
9-11: Lakeside, Eagles, Flames,
12-14: Magic, Cockburn, Eastern Suns

This looks like a decent season, whole bunch of new imports and some returning ones:
Turner, Nichols, Voelkel, Bowie, Barrow, all familiar faces
New imports at Flames x2, Lightning x2, Cockburn x2, Waters, Giants import replacing Manigault.

^nope. He's joining the Hobart Chargers.

From Adam Smith's Jan. 6 article:

"The Mercury understands athletic Sudanese swingman Mathiang Muo has agreed to terms and will be officially unveiled as early as next week."

Seva Chan has moved back to play under Nener at Cockburn.

Lakeside will have an import PG.

"S&K Electrical Geraldton Buccaneers head coach Ray Evans says the re-signing of US import Maurice “Mo” Barrow is a major boost to the squad’s upcoming State Basketball League campaign."

And...

"The Buccs are in contract negotiations to re-sign Queensland point guard Mat Adekponya, with the front office also looking at a tall import to help skipper Mat Wundenberg secure rebounds in the paint."

https://thewest.com.au/news/regional/swingman-re-signs-ng-b88342305z

Adekponya at Perry Lakes is just forum here say. A recent article suggests Geraldton are still in the box seat to re-sign him.

They have also secured Barrow again.

Voelkel is back for them as well

Lakeside women should be improved. Much better second import to go with theMVP and Ash Grant and recruited a good Aussie big. Lost Byrnes who has had a few down seasons

Lakeside Women got smacked around last year in the Finals. They need to change a lot if they want a look in to anything. Lost Byrnes too.

Lakeside men have Krump and Morgan returning, add Andrew Ferguson from AIS, decent bench. If Seva sticks around then they have an above average point.

interesting that lakeside are going with another guard import - who are their talls other than ash grant. or is Mansfield going to play small ball.

Candace Williams isnt coming back and Doccy isnt playing

Mostly the same minus Corey Martin. Two new imports.

"cougars going with 2 german girls I believe."

deena English to play for rockingham flames this season. bunbury get back kate fielding and tori duggan from college plus add a import post.
