2006 Junior G/F Rssults

Instead of canning everybody, perhaps some of the girls need to step back and look at WHO they are playing for- themselves, or their club. Instead of asking for a playoff against the other nominated team, what about a 'retrial' whereby the CLUB can select the best players and place them into the teams they think would benefit all

North and Norwood 16 girls are two very good teams and pouring garbage on them is why we still lag behind better interstate clubs.We seem unable to congratulate winners without putting the boot into the loser.
Rivalry is a wonderful thing but let the rest go. Nowood copped plenty on other threads as did their coach and now it seems its North's turn.
How about we build up the self-esteem of our SA teams and save our 'nasty side' exclusivelyfor the interstate teams.

I think branding players as chokers is a touch heavy, and I don't think there is a player or team alive, in any sport, who/which hasn't had one or two poor games throughout their season and sometimes in big ones.
Sure you can focus on the classics and state champs, even set for them but is that the end goal?
Is the winter premiership less valuable than either of the previous titles? Is qualfying for club nationals the goal or is winning it? Is finishing in 2nd or 3rd in State teams a success or failure?
Perhaps Van Earl Wright your team might be better "setting for September" because thats when you win both winter Premierships and club nationals.
That said, I think that all the garbage about any team choking should be flushed down the toilet where it belongs.

I think Sturt remain the club to catch, however, it's not one thing we have to emulate to succeed. Sturt are successful so kids want to play for them and add to that a strong coaching staff despite one or two eruptions this year and its a hard combination to beat.
If you can get a good proportion of the better players and they get coached well, success follows.
Unfortunately for weaker clubs its a catch 22, to be successful they need to be successful and have good coaches to get good players.
