BSA State Champs 18 Men predictions

Ha ha 186
West bounced back defeating Norwood at Nuddawading.
Norwood have just lost one of their better guards for the season but even so just beat West easily again last game. Great seeing these boys putting in great performances despite having some trying to shoot them down.

186

You waited all this time and that's the best you can come up with?

Nunawading counts as bouncing back? You must be new to basketball.

Hope you're enjoying it champ.

Never said players were poached to 18s. But you really must be new if you don't know the history of players being poached to go there in previous years. Anyway,well done on the current team getting 5th, that's sincere.

Is there any news on which clubs won what overall club awards

Nobody from the current 18 side has been poached. 2 guards have come from other clubs and they sought out Norwood. The rest of the team have been developed from lower grades and now are well coached and their performances are showing. Don't know why all the haters are here but these boys after being predicted to finish last have just had a successful Staye Championship finishing 5th. Congrats boys for lifting yourself of the canvas to a competitive team who fights hard all the way.

I was 628,nothing to do with 630 so you're way off again.
Clubs do get players from other clubs seeking more opportunities, but a few clubs actively poach players. Norwood one of them.

628 and 630 (clearly the same person)

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

631 has said it as well as can be said.

It's a real shame that people like you carry on the way you do. It's highly embarrassing to SA basketball.

That is what Norwoods development is all about. They spell development R E C R U I T M EN T. If you hope to get better as an individual go elsewhere

Norwood just won the playoff for 5 & 6. So finishing 5th in State Champs is a great result.

So Norwood are as shit as Eastern and just a bit better than a shitter North.
So new players mean that couldn't get current players any better so we'll go out and get players from elsewhere to replace them, typical Norwood.

That was summer, different season and different team now. Just saying give credit where credit is due. Pushed Woodville and just lost to a strong Central by 6. They are travelling nicely at the moment

The OP was predicting his thoughts about where teams would finish. Norwood drawing with a bad Eastern and beating a bad North in final meaningless game hardly has top teams quaking in boots about resurgence. Top 3 in that pool means nothing, they only beat North, didn't they lose by 90 in a game in summer?

OP, Norwood u18 men have finished 3rd in pool A. A lot has been said about the Flames losing players but nothing about the new players brought in. Not a bad effort sonce your prediction had them last.

glad someone mentioned 2018 junior state champs - the conversation we needed to have on the boards.

Fville to win U18 G with Sturt runner up - West will be up and about as well.

Boys - overall - North will go close for State, North to win reserves.

State boys quite even and hardly a foregone conclusion.

Girls - overall - Fville - girls should sneak in state over Sturt (only due to u12s) - reserve close between Fville and Sturt.

Overall - if Fville win state girls and reserve girls they should win the overall again.

SomeoneBSA, the guideline is also about posting complimentary information in the interest of not inflating or deflating kids. I really appreciate the work you put in but I'll prune it and leave a note to that effect. If there's more you can add from a team perspective, go for it.

I agree hoops has a policy around naming kids under 18. The OP should be written from a team perspective. The kids don't need extra pressure to be the reason their team will win or lose. One of the reasons why BSA took so long to use the stadium scoring was the issue around posting junior player stats.

Someone's put in the effort but there is a rough guide against naming U18 players. What do you want me to do? Some paragraphs would be pruned to nothing if names are removed.
