Hoops

Southern beats Forestville

It’s a shame Johns didn’t just sit on the bench (do development players even do that?). We could have won if he did.

Turnage had a solid game. Brine’s performance was great on both ends. Shot much needed 3’s and had teys on lockdown all night. He wasn’t just having an “off night”. Would’ve been my vote.

Great game to watch though. Close all game. A lot of talent out on the court!

Turnage very worthy but Brine did a great job at both ends. Would have been my vote.

Mays despite only having 6 points did a great job on DJ and had 15 boards.

Everyone trashing Doyle and Teys having no right to be 36ers but of course they’re gun professionals now.

Are Forestville more talented team?
3 pro players and import
1 “would have romped home the woollacott”
1 has been apart of boomers squads in the past

Forestville lost because Andy bowed to the hoops pressure and wore jeans instead of jean shorts!!!
His fake yeezys were on point!

Also why do we assume tigers have the biggest budget when 3 pros are playing at one club together, DJ has played for 3 clubs (not super loyal) and teys hasn’t played PL so I doubt they just buddied up for a giggle

I would never have thought Tigers have best atmosphere for P/L games. If you want atmosphere and crowd involvement you can't go past Hillcrest with proximity to court on all sides.

Are Forestville a more talented team? I wouldn’t have said so even before the final.

Wins title... anonymous expected better.

Definetely fell through a few bridges when he departed Pasadena Maccas en route to Morphettvale

Would like to see Andy and nyberg coach a team that wasn't stacked and see how they go. Andy wasn't going too well till the sixers came in and nyberg got outcouched by a mile in last year's GF.

I don’t play for them, and we all knew Southern wouldn’t be a pushover. Of course it sucks, but no point crying over it. I’m sure the players are hurting a lot more than the fans.

Teys had a bad game but a great season, didn't he lead it in scoring. And the few games I saw was always a classy and hard worker. If he played the whole season would have romped home in the woollacott. Easy to bag someone when they have a poor showing.
Interesting to see eagles fans do the whole I don't care we didn't win, would be shattered. Hopefully they can see now the way they did things was wrong.

Have since the siren. Wasn’t that hard.

Does it? I care a hell of a lot less about losing than Southern fans do about winning.

Must be tough only having one good thing happen in your life a year.

Southern fan makes fun of the Eagles brains trust.

Southern fan can’t spell ‘wear’.

Brilliant.

Did Nyberg share the vouchers or take them all for himself again?

Hungry Jacks or a Vili's family pie split 6 ways?? Give me Hungry Jacks every day.

I hear Andy and the brains trust at Forestville ( is that an oxymoron ) have started preparing for next season by having a closed legal session going through the By - Laws again

Losing two finals is less embarrassing than making yourselves championship rings

BasketballSA should change the Finals to best of 3 next Year . That way the Eagles Bench will get a few more seconds on the floor

Hope you enjoyed the Hungry Jacks you won on the drive home. Must be nice being able to the family out for a fancy meal every now and again.

Failed miserably = 6 point loss against the best team after winning a bunch of finals to get there.

No pleasing some people.

Southern fans are hilarious talking up their 100k+ team of recruits lol

We did lose. Was a great game, always knew it would be close. Be good if you blokes could stop trying so hard to talk yourselves up though.

“Tigers played all juniors of the club. (Except Turnage, mays, Dodman, burns)”

So did Forestville (DJ, Teys, Richard, Akol).

“5 guys got 0 time... there's heaps of confidence there.”

Four Tigers didn’t play.

Any other accomplishments you want to point out that aren’t that special?

doesn't take long for the Club supporters to start their gloating and bragging

There's one thing they can't do

Show any class

Only looked like the Eagles had low numbers because each Southern family brought their eight kids

attendance number ?

Awesome game. Probably closer than it should have been the way Teys and Johnson played. Congrats to southern.

There are currently 10 NBL players that deserve to be invited to this years Boomers camp;

Adam Gibson, Anatoly Bose, Cameron Tragardh, Damian Martin, Daniel Johnson, Jesse Wagstaff, Julian Khazzouh, Mark Worthington, Oscar Forman and Peter Crawford.

Agree or disagree? Are there any others that you would deem worthy of an invite to camp?

DISCLAIMER: Before anyone asks I've omitted Kevin Lisch from this list until someone can prove beyond doubt that he is actually eligible to represent Australia in London.
