WNBL Round 8

"Yet here we are discussing why there wasn't a good crowd ? A lot of families who would be in demographic for their crowd unavailable. Do you work in marketing for Ba by any chance?"

The reason they would not have had huge crowds is the distance those interstate teams fans would need to travel to support their teams, the fsctvneither BA or WNBL bother to advertise it via main stream media, the fact it was on over three days people have other things to do, yes like attend other sporting commitments , the entire sporting world cannot be put on hold just to run. WNBL game .
Do you seethe major soccer events stop running because a few local teams are playing
Get real you don't have to work in marketing to see a "semi major" junior tournament and hour away from the event is not going to be the cause of smaller than hoped for crowds lol

I really don't think the WNBL should need to factor in a "semi major" junior tournament lol

Scheduling the round when a semi major junior tournament was run down on the peninsula probably wasn't the best weekend to fixture.

Not that it's the only indication of a team playing well but Perth only had 10 or sure assists in their last game which is quite low. Could be a livestats tracking error though

The Saturday crowd in particular looked disapointing, so perhaps being televised effected that (it was why I went Sun & not Sat)? I'm a couple of hours away from SBC, so it made it worthwhile to travel for a DH. Same with the round when Boomers & Rangers played home games on same day I came along.

It's worth some attitude for all those rebounds she pulls down

"Seriously Liz's behaviour is verging on out of control, she has no 'emotional regulation' when things go against her. Will any coach be able to eliminate these 2 year old tantrums completely out of her game?"


She has been the same since a child, no coach disciplines her because she always been so tall, that's what coaches always want, hence why now it's ingrained in her. She's a loose cannon and is still not controlled, she's no attribute to the sport, she never will be,Boomers wanted the publicity her name would bring, hope they are happy with all the negative press she draws, she basically averages a tech a game if not more, and frankly she's lucky she hasn't had more.

Not Wunek. West. As in Kanye.

Wunek, OK. Had my head on it's side for 5mins staring at Alice's spelling before deciding to ask.

"The 3 W's": The three, Luuuc??

Boomers were simply caught a touch off the boil today, after some peak form. Beaten by a switched on and red hot reigning prems. Got a little heated near the end, so not sure if this one spilled over into the car park or anything?

A feature that stood out wathing the Lynx today was how well they teamed as a unit, with each individual playing their role.

The Lynx are a group of individuals. Some damned good ones for sure, but that doesn't make a team.


^ Someone who doesn't actually watch them play, or someone who doesn't understand basketball?
Working for each other is precisely why they're rolling right now, as opposed to the start of the season when the same collection of players had just been thrown together and were struggling.

Nope, it's not all Guy's fault. There are a couple of other people who have to take responsibility for Cambage even being there.

Impressive by Perth. Seven straight and now equal top of the table. Well in contention now.

Really opens up the five team race for finals, going to be a lot of fight to not be that team missing out.

Lizzy's Tech Foul count equalled her rebound count?

Cambage. Stats leader in technical fouls
Hahaha

Me neither though Wehrung missing for the Caps didn't help their chances. She has been a solid performer.

I expect Perth to get a reality check today but the other game could be a good one if Snell is fit.

Townsville win in the end but really should have been more, Suzy shooting an ugly 4/23 from the field. Free throws bailed her out.

Missed it too. Also damn :(
Wish they left it viewable for a few days.
Stoked to get the away win.
Fingers crossed that Alice's injury is not too serious. She has been a key player this season.

Missed the livestream, damn. :(

Good win Perth. They are on a hot streak of form.

Boomers really taking it to Townsville, still too close to call there.

I made all six games next to even money until Liz was ruled out.

Cluster rounds are the future. They should just make all the teams from Melbourne. The Melbourne Perths, Melbourne Townsvilles etc :D

This round has a lot of hard match ups so should be good. Perth is continuing their travelling after a quick turnaround but should have enough against Rangers but potential upset possible.

Townsville should canter against a Lizless Boomers. Should be the most straightforward.

Any team can win Battle of the Bottom, Canberra probably has the most quality still standing so will go with them.

Dandenong at "home" again versus a fresh but out of form Adelaide? Lean Adelaide but again Rangers could upset.

Townsville should win against Perth in a head to head matchup but will be close. Would be more interesting if it was played in Perth imo.

If Sydney lose then they are really out of form and their spot in the topmost four in trouble. Boomers should be firing with a fresh Cambage. What a finish to the Sunday double-header. Of course none of those games are the ones televised.

Anybody know of the best and cost effective software used for scouting?

I know of Snapper and Motion Clip but where would one start looking to purchase these software?

Does anybody recommend any others?

Thanks in advance for your help.
