Premier League Import Update And Power Rankings

These things can make surfaces a little slippery

Most sporting codes don't have to deal with this, or choose not to.

I would like to see BSA get away with portable AC's etc to complete round 1. Work health and safety should come into play or change venues! Hillcrest will be a furnace and Mt Barker with no AC will be the same. Take the BOM seriously and hope no one passes out or worse. Most sporting codes wouldn't even blink at this.

Then post what it is...

Pretty sure weed aint the issue.

What's this about the Mavs import?

Don't think most clubs are aware of how many of their imports/players do it

Never seen that many clubs turn down a gun import for smoking the herb.

That's what I'm saying..

I’m sure the Aussies do it too fella

If we're worrying about people smoking weed, perhaps people should be concerned about Legan, Turnage, Wise, Tyson-Thomas, Dowdell, hell even Barton too..

Look into Mavs imports history before worrying about Mays smoking pot.

Wise running off with anyone's missus is laughable. Bevo has more of a chance of stealing someone's girl than Wise. Heard Turnage actually stole Wise's.

So Wise ran off with who's missus? He's been spotted around Hindley over the last couple of weeks - maybe trying to find a visa possibility. Heard he was trying to get a gig in Adelaide but no one will touch him with a 100 foot pole. Maybe it's his legal issues in Adelaide as well that might be an issue.

So by saying Mays issues are legalised in 50% of USA implies it is illegal in 50% too. The question is whether or not it is illegal in Australia?

labour of love?

A passion of love

A lot of coaches don't aspire to PL. Yes they may like to do PL, but the amount of time that a PL coaches role takes up is underestimated by a lot of people. It doesn't pay well either so it is a passion of love.

Plus a lot of clubs don't have the resources to compete with the top clubs. There isn't a lot of coaches lining up to take a role at a club like Eastern so they can have a losing season and get blasted on Hoops.

Yeah you are right, all those wanna be state and serious junior coaches don't aspire to Premier League at all......

I think we forget that Jamie is a rookie coach with no runs on the board or experience thus far, wait till the season is underway or done before making an evaluation of his ability. There are several coaches in the mens comp that are under the pump 100 times more than Jamie, see Sturt, Woodville, Eastern and on another level Forestville.
South and Jamie are currently 0/0 with 3/4 coaches mentioned above being in the hot seat to keep their jobs through till seasons end.

Bring on Saturday!!!!

Jamie’s upset now folks

Imagine if we made it only non-negative comments could be posted in this thread, 80% of them would be gone.
Haters.

The fact Barton is in the leadership group says more about the coach than anything.

Did I see Andrew Barton is at South and in the leadership group? Is this some kind of bizarro world? Hasn’t played a meaningful minute in years and now he’s in a leadership group. I guess he’ll help lead them back to 7th again... or to KFC judging by that photo on Facebook.

Except he started last season and averaged 17, including a 50 point game and Anzac medal.

Mays personal issues are legalised in half of America.

Can anyone expand on these "personal issues"

Is it about the great Will Wise III running off with his missus??

Apart from Mays does Forestville have any strong inside presence? I can see them being exposed here and they will need their perimeter shooters to perform

And they need Mays to manage his alleged personal issues

No way any lineup should be ranked above Forestvilles.

Rockets
Eagles
Pioneers
Tigers


Bearcats
Flames
Warriors
Lions
Panthers
Sabres
Mavericks

You think they should be lower than 7th?

Warriors will definitely surprise teams this year!

Harris cracked under pressure in GF last season - he's got some talent but not enough to get him to starting 5 in PL let alone NBL.

Is round 1 in jeopardy with the hot weather forecast??

If Forestville are suiting Teys, Deng, Mays, Rios, Harris and De Witt then they are surely the number one position in these power rankings with less than a week to go before the season tips off.
I would go, from all recent announcements and pre-season game results-

Eagles
Pioneers
Rockets
Tigers
Flames
Bearcats
Warriors
Panthers
Mavericks
Lions
Sabres

who you got?

Norwood beat Gambier by around 10 in a pretty low scoring game. Both teams down an import, was a pretty average game.

Except for the mention where it was said he was the only bench player Forestville have...

Norwood v Gambier score?

Harris getting no mentions despite averaging 17ppg last year and spending all off season with the 6ers.

Am I right in saying pioneers starters will be;

Daly
Burdon
Daly
Barkley
Dickson

Pioneers actually won 71-67 against Mavs

Mt Gambier has the best starting 5 in the comp... it's the bench that's the question mark.

Given Andy list the unlosable GF he must be walking a tightrope if he fails again

As for Mt Gambier just need to see final squad but doubt it has the starting five to go with Forestville

de Wit < Johnson
Teys > Goodluck
Rios < McVeigh
Deng = Starling
Mays > Dowdell

Looks pretty even to me, except Hawkes is a supercoach - at least according to North members.

You still haven't ackowledged Mt Gambier yet either.

Pioneers beat Mavs by about 15 in a fairly ordinary game. Both teams missing players, Pioneers especially down a few studs. Mavs imports on arrived 24 hours prior but look to be OK.

Forestville compared to North

Teys > Johnson
Deng > McVeigh
Mays > Dowdell
Rios < Starling
de Witt > anyone else at North

Yep Andy needs to deliver!

Woodville and Forestville beat West and Southern respectively by around 10.

It's okay friend I'll refresh your memory: North and Mt Gambier are two that come to mind.

Im not sure who you think has loaded up as much as Forestville

I don’t think he got outcoached, more like DJ and Teys couldn’t hit water if they fell out a boat. No bench other than Harris could hurt them. Big minutes from their starters. Other teams have loaded up too.
