Premier League Round 13 and 14

304 what are you talking about. We are
talking about an earned academic and sport scholarship that an Australian would not have received if he wasn’t smart and he chose because of its No 2 world ranking and good basketball program. No dodgy deal involved. So your post has no relevance for what we have all been discussing. You are just generalising based on sensationalisation of current news. Not all who go to these schools are of the same mold. Do not use your beef with others to discredit those who have genuinely worked hard and have the talent, its degrading and unecessary.

Oxford now 5th behind Cambridge. Rankings found at Centre for World University Rankings located in the UAE.

No-one is really attacking White. Its a great opportunity. Just stating the obvious deficiencies in the US educational system across the board.
Can you site who rated those institutions 1,2 and 4 in the world?

Stamford is the 2nd highest ranked University in the world. 1st is Harvard and 4th Oxford. So what US overall ranking is, is irrelevant in relation to the players you are trying to play down their intellect and abilities. Credit where its due. White worked his arse off at school and sacrificed a social
life to commit to studies and training. It paid off and he will have a career outside basketball when he is done with playing. Its full scholarship and a Div 1 University, you cannot deny that is success as far as an Aussie and US college comparatively to those partial lesser ranked colleges. Maybe not as good basketball wise compared to higher tanked sporting universities but if you are looking for both education and ball if you know you are pushing the NBA path option being short then it is a great opportunity. Good on him.

Stanford may be revered but the US is currently ranked 27th in the world in education....

Did this bitch actually just type “mic drop”

Premier League be tripping with 13th April, 1st June, and 2nd June

In his own mind maybe.

West won’t sack Maclean. Nor Woodville with Whitmore. Others might be in trouble though.

What clubs would be looking for a new coach for 2020?
West?
South?
Mavs?
Sturt?
Woodville?

I would think this off season would be interesting with the Vacancy sign out the front of most clubs. All of the above had had significant time in the role apart from Petty who by all accounts is struggling.

Think the jury is still out on this.

Unfortunately Dean had to sell him to cover costs!

tall dark haired guy

Where is the other assistant coach for Southern ? Didn’t see him at the last few games.

Called clever recruiting. Give credit for achievement. Why are we always looking to bring people down. Qualities like ininative planning promotion buy in strategy need to be recognised. Yes sometines being outsmarted is being out coached.

Because no other team has done anything dirty. Sure hope you’re not a Tigers fan!

Bit over the cheateagles tag. Past history move on.

Tigers unhappiest? Don’t see that myself. See a bunch of guys who enjoy playing together.

North are happy. Stop stirring the pot. I look at tigers and see as unhappiest. Winners are grinners. North grins getting wider brighter. But sure be a trick or cheat that will be revealed before the big dance.

Pop, not according to many of the posters in this thread - no. Come to think of it that is probably why they are probably posting to this thread without any real achievements of their own. So according to them - No, you can't

So there is no way anyone can improve as they mature, learn from others, work on a deficiency, change attitude ...

Interesting life view.

Harris is who Andy chose to be the 1, so maybe he is.
Jack is loving it at North. Nice, pathetic attempts to create division where none exists.

Perhaps Fville should have used their white picket fence as their team's Defense. It would play D with much more energy and intensity.

You went to a strategy that saw you score 1 more point over 3 quarters with the opposition never having to get out of 2nd gear. McVeigh just taking Harris to the opposite side of the floor so players such as Starling could just waltz through the key and score whenever they felt like it. Well done brilliant.

the Raptors outscored GS by 10 or so in the stretch they ran it.

Eagles ran it for 3/4's and still lost. Didn't really work that well for you did it?

We can’t all be Sturt running the triangle at under 12’s

#390 agreed.

They played better when he was on the bench.

And how did that work out for the Raptors in Game 2. Same result.
Left yourself vulnerable on the O boards and got punished for it.
Like De Witts game. Fville gonna struggle if no Majok. 40 point turnaround from the first meeting n North on a 7 game winning streak. Gonna be a crazy Finals series

Common denominator. Jones boys. Weird coincidence.

Decorey Jones left towards the end of 2017 and missed Tigers finals campaign.

They played an under 12 style box and 1 for 3 quarters. McVeigh just moved around so the rest of the squad could score whenever they wanted too. It was kinda boring to watch

What does listing an unlovable final mean?

If Harris was defending McVeigh they should have won by 50

Can someone explain the above post

Worry about your own club making the finals, not hoping another team will beat a team you’ve probably been smashed by twice

About time he is

McVeigh didn't need to mouth off as he was well above the standard of the opposition.

To be fair the Eagles bench were to busy mouthing off at each other , McVeigh couldn’t get a word in.

After quarter time when Eagles played that amazing box and 1 defence on McVeigh North just did what they had to do. Eagles never threatened and when they put any pressure on McVeigh easily lost Harris and scored. The final margin may have been 15 but that is not a true indication of the ease at which North dealt with them.

Who cares if they owned them or not. They are winning at the right of the year. Most players are carrying some type of injury now and it is mental toughness to play through that. They all played big minutes for Forestville so it wasn’t as if they had major problems

Problem is they have no bench strength.

Just accept you lost. I think there are 9 clubs that would be loving the thought of Karma revisiting the Eagles just as in last years GF when they list the unlovable GF!

North were up 32-16 at quarter time. Does that not qualify with your standard of owning from their first match. Most of the game it was around 20. Double standard much.

Though 15 would be their second biggest win of the year so guess I’d celebrate too. Couldn’t beat Sturt or South by that much, but you sure owned Forestville!

Winning by 15 with three of their starters either injured or not playing on a team with zero bench depth is not owning

15 is not owning. Losing by 25 after a quarter is owning.

What did last time have to do with Sundays result? Separate games, months apart.
North owned Forestville Sunday and they know it.

Imagine saying you owned a team because you won by 15 after being down what, 25 at the end of the first the last time you played them

Definitely feel as though North are better without Dowdell and Forestville were playing better ball as a team without Deng.

Clearly didn't actually watch the Woodville game as you would have seen Mays reinjured his shoulder he has been playing with injured for more than a month and Deng did his ribs again. I wouldn't call it owning them. Eagles had a bad first quarter and couldn't get a shot to drop. But actually won the other 3 quarters. It was definitely their worst game of the season so losing by 15 isn't the worst. Last time they played North I recall North lost by close to 30.

I'm not denying Eagles had an awful game. North played well. Is Dowdell injured? He seems underutilized for an import. Although i feel they may play better with him on the bench.

Yep Forestville should be in NBL1 they are so good. It’s beneath them to have to play in the PL
