Hoops

Big v div 1 men

My view is he struggles to build relationships.

Michael is a very good X & O's coach but his weakness is communication skills and the ability to manage relationships.

@Anon #419 I have no idea where you're coming from, no beef with Chelsea or any other team, just trying to make my point from observations.

Happy to be corrected on facts, but not that concerned with anons who may have no idea of their own so if you have something constructive to add, please do!

Otherwise I suggest you could just read and enjoy other people's posts without making snide or uneducated comments...

Interesting, is that thing, human?
Is it a full time employee?
Please elaborate!

Chelsea won div 1 womens last year and instead of going upto the next level,which they would of been more than competitive,got rid of the better players and now struggling.
Why won’t they do the same with the men’s side?

Really feel the cash is not there,and if it is
,why wasn’t 8t used on the women’s team.the6 were the standout team all season.

Should I have said Chelsea rely on their import and two others, my bad.......?

Maybe a two horse race right now, but every season in finals there is an upset, I don't think this year will be any different! I agree that with Sobey there is an 'X-Factor' in play for sure. Depth may be the key come finals, usually is, we will see...

With only six rounds to go, who will make the finals?

Ladder shows Melb Uni & Bulleen on 7 wins 6th and 7th then three teams on 6 wins, Venom, Geelong and Collingwood.

Is there a chance for any of these teams to break in, and is the final four - five going to remain as is?

Shepparton are solid as they come and too hard to crack at home.
Keysborough have been shakey lately but early runs on the board are keeping them up there.
Chelsea rely of imports like the Gators do, but I can't see them dropping out.
Warrnambool also have a solid list and their top tier hit clutch shots when they need to.

Can anyone provide a reason why any one of these four would drop lower than where they are now, I can't? They are the contenders from what I have seen this season, the others not so much...

Do they have the currency to get a competitive team?

Are Chelsea gunning for SCM?

Chelsea, Standerfer 38.26, Brasser 38.36, Riggs 37.22 mins, the shock is Corey not playing the full 40 mins anymore! Must be injured!

Shep have a few ex SEABL guys

So the list shrinks further, no import for 1 team in SCM, 1 team in Div 1, 3 teams in Div 2.

I thought Blackburn had a little guard import?

Looks like only Geelong has the SEABL and BigV model then.

Eltham in SCM have an import as well. Joshua Sykes so just Blackburn I reckon

Again I'll stand corrected if someone is more informed with a club but...

SCM
Blackburn, Eltham

Div 1
Geelong

Div 2
Camberwell
Altona
Coburg (pending)

Which six? Is there any of those six that have SEABL as their top tier or are the other five only BigV clubs?

So it's 37 senior men's teams, 6 without imports.

10-15 years ago there were 6 teams with imports and that's including all divisions, how times change.

So, virtually every team in the BigV, other than YL has at least one import. I would think those would be teams that have the BigV as their flag ship and not a SEABL team. Would that be fair? That's probably why Geelong and other few don't have an import, they use the money elsewhere like SEABL.

Sunbury have an import... Alexander

Is Sunburys import situation different? Otherwise I stand corrected.

Which team other than Geelong do you think have zero imports Melb Boy?

^^^

Actually in D1M, only team without an import is Geelong.

(Shepparton & Latrobe have 2 each)

SCM
12 teams, 2 teams without imports

Div 1
13 teams, 2 without imports

Div 2
12 teams, 3 without imports

So how many teams actually zero imports and rely mainly on home grown players?

How many teams in Div1 have zero imports, do they all have two imports?

Thanks,they must of just put it up before my post.
Cheers
