WNBL 20-21 Season Schedule

Mansfield from sa, starter for the lightning with no seekamp?

Why is Mansfield out the door? Sami can run the point for sure but think we would want to keep Mansfield.
Any word on Nat burton? Katie ray?

Pretty stupid decision by seekamp if u ask me. Has a shot to beat lavey for the third pg spot in Tokyo and now will never play at an olympics or World Cup.
Time is up for her, will be overtaken by other pgs real soon, it was her last chance.

Nicole Seekamp not returning. Taking a year iff

Good good good

I'm hopeful on the first 3.
No idea about Mansfield although of course I'd love to keep her too. (I'd also love to keep Payne & Whittle though I know the chances of that are slim)

So what do you think that means for the team luuc? Good or bad? Going to get garbin? Whitcombe? Ebzery? Mansfield?

Ryan Petrik has been officially announced as Lynx coach.
2 season contract.

Are there definitely no imports this season?

When did Lara McSpadden change her name to Laura McSpaddern?

what about Bishop to Perth? Can someone tell me the salary cap situation in the league? like can one team just get all the WNBA stars because they all live in say Melbourne or is there a limit or limit on WNBA stars in a team?
Should be interesting in the league without imports certainly makes teams shorter with out people like lavender, russell, turner, mcgee- standford etc Australia doesnt have enough bigs to go around to every team.
Interesting on the Perth Lynx team ebzery wasnt a free agent does that mean she has signed?

For me, Flyers will win championship.

Is whittle definitely coming back? Payne appears to be in America? Be a hell of steam if they both return plus add Sami and have no Andy!
No wooden spooner I wouldn’t have thought.
Would be lacking height but not a lot of that quality going around for anyone If no imports

Is Petrik the new coach? The rumour was that Craig Mansfield was a big chance of getting the job.

Not many wa college women about. Very few I see as wnbl level.

Atwell and Satie are now seniors.
Clarke and Fisher juniors.
Deegan, ayliffe, Drennan, Jones and jacobssisters sophomores.

Clarke is maybe a backup sf in 2 years, deegan a backup or starting sg in 3 years in wnbl.

Ebzery / Mansfield / J.Williams(DP)
Whitcomb / Whittle / E.Strelein(DP) - signed for Portland 21’ class
Belger / Ciabbitoni / N.Williams(DP)
Steindl / Payne
Allen / Edwards


Seeing how Edwards did so well at nbl1 level and got no time at Adelaide, could see her moving to Perth.

Ebzery / Mansfield / J.Williams(DP)
Whitcomb / Whittle
Belger / Ciabbitoni / N.Williams(DP)
Steindl / Payne
Allen / Burton, Edwards or Mckay, all from wa)

Possibly garbin.

I don’t think if they have sami, Mansfield, ebzery and Allen plus maybe Garbin they are a wooden spoon team.
Could Nat burton return? ciabattoni I know she dates a Perth boy?

Perth Lynx team is extremely weak. Wooden sppon contenders for the sbl.

Can WNBL survive without crowds?

Not really enough high end pgs or sgs in aus/nz

Why won’t swags and sami play?

They can both play

The list is completely made up, all assumptions.

We’re talks of ebzery playing under seenohm again who coached her at Sydney.

Perth has both Mansfield and ebzery, the fire only have cocks as aw pg, vanloo will not be back obviously.

Yes I know she is but the guess someone did of starting 5 didn’t have her? Had her listed in Townsville. I assume she is playing in Perth again

Why isn’t Katie ray at Perth she moved over there after the end of last season

Multiple people think garbin is headed to Perth.

Is belger a citizen now for sure?

Sounds like it is done but just not yet officially announced
*fingers crossed*

What teams starting 5 might look like?
Mainly al assumptions

As a cure for insomnia maybe

^Exactly.

Wnbl peeps have done diddly squat.
Only good thing has been the few academies for young women.

How's the Flyers - Cambage,Mitchell, Cole, Blicavs, Ohea.. oh my goodness.

The NBL are in control of all of BA’s commercial operations so it’s Larry doing the dealing not LJ

Also no mention of a broadcast deal / arrangement yet either.

Still can’t understand why the nbl and wnbl are not aligned. Every other major sport in aus are as one.

Jackson and staff really needs to prove the,selves this year or it should be given over to kestleman.

No official word on imports yet, although looking unlikely.

Also no mention of a broadcast deal / arrangement yet either. This becomes even more important if games are to be played in front of empty stadiums.

No imports still but most of the opals back?

What would you do. Import gets injured, club physio says 6-8 weeks.Coach gets 2nd opinion from own physio who says 2-4. Who has right of way?
