saw this on the GC web site just then
wonder what the roster is like for other teams

[Mr bEn]

So there is now an U20 comp, being played at the same times as the other Premier League games? Or is it separate?

[phenom_54]

all under the same bracket i think

[Fly]

there might be some saturday games, but the majority will be Sunday afternoon.

Bay has a fairly strong side as well, wouldnt be suprised to see them in the top 4 for U20's. What other assoc's are fielding sides? Would expect Districs, Brisbane, South West to have enough interested players.

Noticed he's older brother is playing in the Runaway team going to QABL next season.

They have a few strong PL players from 18s last year aswell as a few top age ex-coast players. Word is Adam Tyrus will be in the team.

Dale Marshell is the coach. I believe he's also coaching the QABL side and coached 18 boys #2 last season? Correct me if I'm wrong.

thats seams like an all right gold coast team who is their coach ive never heard of him

unusal not to see maroochydore not involved youd think they have the player base they seamed like a young team in the d league were they all under 18 players or just over 20 it seems shame if they are too old and if they are the under 18 team god help that comp they will be hard to beat

Too right! But seems they are all now working (and doing all the 'other' things that North Coast lads do!) and sort of taking a rest until pre season training commences for A.B.A. and D League next year. Just playing in the local A grade and scrimmaging and surfing etc etc is all the fitness thats needed till senior basketball starts again. Should be a good league however if all Clubs can field a team every week with all the other things that u/20's have to do on weekends.

i think its gonna be a pretty junky comp

10 teams but only 9 games?

and no classics will turn a few people away.

[Fly]

Maybe not playing as many games is a good thing.

How many players in 20s have uni/work commitments (some over a weekend)?

This is the only age group that pretty much doesn't get half the year off (most teams will be made up of D League players with others)

So maybe not a full schedule will allow them to do other things that they need to do.

[Unregistered]

i tend too agree that the shorter competition will mak a diffrence will it start later and have grand finals at the same time as every one else as it will make sense as there is no need for a double header at all and finishing the round robin at christmas then have semis and finals first two weeks back will be insaine also the other probliem is if they start oct 13/14 play double headers and then finals before xmas then they have denied some players the chance to play because the age restriction should be under 20 as of 31 dec 2007 not 2008

what do the other sides look like i see nthside has there lineup on their website as well as the coast im intrested in the gold coast coach to see what he will bring hes an unknown name dose any one know of him.

8 out of 24 is one third of teams which is a pretty sizeable requirement to find with one weeks notice. Spartans have done te right thing by withdrawing. Does not mean they will not play those teams willing to play them on Sunday just they will not compete on Saturdays. This competition was supposed to be about keeping people involved not about winning or losing was what I understood.

[Fly]

there might be some saturday games, but the majority will be Sunday afternoon.


There was no definite undertaking that games would all be sunday, not even at the meeting that discussed the U20 comp.

[Spartans]

There was no definite undertaking that games would all be sunday, not even at the meeting that discussed the U20 comp.

Just to clarify the situation for you Fly. We were not at meeting and did not nominate for under 20 as it was scheduled for Saturdays. When BQ advised it was to be played on Sundays we did nominate. We were told by BQ games woudl be on Sundays.

Maybe obtuse of me, but is there not some way that Spartans can be accomodated with Sunday games, for good order, for the sake of maximising participation in the comp, and in the interests of ensuring the concept gets an even chance of becoming a regular event on the calender? Time to put aside any cross town rivalries or sore feelings (thats if it has anything to do with it) and do whatever works to get the concept of the ground. Dont envy Steve's job with this one and I'm sure he'd be grateful of constructive input to help make it happen.

Because its about fostering and retaining post adolescent youth to the game...not petty adult squabbles.

Ipswich are in the same position as Spartans. They also have 4 players involved in junior rep and are unable to play on Saturday nights. Now if you look at the Under 20 draw from BQ all but 1 Under 20 game is on Sunday in the first round. So if it is to continue on Sunday then I am sure Spartans teams would love to play.

Also Caboolture have their own team which I think is the same as Coastal Suns.

Here is what looks like being the Caps starting 5- jovi, drew philips , brock, Rex Murray, chris smith- some people may not know rex but the players he played against will. strong bench, bris silver is a really strong side as well an will lots of x metro players couldnt make the top side.

Bay beat goldie by like 20 points. Coast are fairly weak, all shooters no bigs. Bay looked strong, with Nash dominating in the point position and thier big man Russ dominating the post.

There are two players in the bay team who did not made the gold coast team! One of them was the big man who dominated the coast team last night and the other one did not play due to the issues with his clearance but he has been around the coast for years and had a quiet of reputation. In my personal opinion, coast should have picked both of them at the tryout. Both of them had experience in the U23, D-League and Aus uni games! Don’t know what the coach of gold coast was thinking when he cut them both from the team

you's wouldnt be saying that if coast beat us last nite. who really cares? the coach chose the team that he thought was best suited to him and could get the job done best, we came out on top last nite, if it wasnt for a few minutes at the end of the third, it could have been the other way around.

hope we see em in the finals if we both make it.

thank you . it was an arm wrestle last night with your team making the most of our poor rebounding, bad offensive options, and poor disipline in reguards to fouls at the end of day no execuses we gave bay an inch and they took a mile they gave us nothing and we had to work hard to get back which we did and let it slip again and they never let us recover great game and i hope to see bay again i only hope B Q dont settle with 1 round ill happily have some double headers to get a second round in over even use the southern cup style split to determin a 2nd round if double headers are too much hassel.

Always going to be "up against it" when you are playing against a quality point guard in Nash Allsop and a tireless working post/paint player like Russel Grant. Those boys were a great combination in a winning Regionals outfit in Cairns a couple of years ago and would be a few levels above even that by now. Is Carlos playing for Coast and if so, how did he go?

[Unregistered]

russ played well, even tho he got away with about 1000 travels. nash carved up as he does, referee was a disgrace (young fella) bum buddies with the whole bay team. foul count was gc:17 bay:9 goin in2 the 3rd quater...disgrace. game was never let played, we r men not boys and the refs called piss weak fouls. we (GC) were unlucky, played shithouse... 2 players fouled out with another 3 on 4 fouls each. bay...well deserved the win in some aspects but were helped along the way. dunno bout marshall on the starting 5, bit rich considerin the fella has been like 10th man for every div 2 team in his life, but daddy must see somethin in him that the rest of QLD dont. if we get shep under us, i think our next match will be EXTREMELY different

u hav to b kiddin me. russle grant is an average player made to look good by nash, hes got nothin sept a lil bit of height. dunno wot you lot saw but gee, he was far from a noteable mention in that game

and yes daddy did help out marshell with some court time. a lot of guards on that runaway bay bench didnt come off the pine to keep marshells turnover count hitting all time records. daddy needs to realise that too, a lot of depth on that runaway bay bench. if the coach utilises the depth, u could see a very very good team

as i said earlier big man from bay trialed at first trial then went to bay no one else with height trialed the only possible big man option around on the coast is anto who is tied up with the blaze and with ty being too old for 20s !The bay team seams to be their d league team so why wouldnt you set yourself up to have a better opportinuty at a higher level in my opinion its hurts my team but its a smart move

[Unregistered]

in the trials we ran this year it was full of guards and small forwards the team was selected based on those whom trialed we are unfortinate as far as height goes on the coast the only team with the luxery of talented height is our 18 boys in my team iy was not about taking the best players in a certian position but having to select whos avilable and play people out of position as far as chris kirk at 5 and carlos at 4 they both played well on saturday night they did what i asked and our coheasion as team somtimes got us lost and in trouble just remember that was the first game of the season and we can only improve and as long as we make the top 4 we have just as much chance as every other team (if we can avoid the caps)but even then we still have a shot sudden death has its even advantages just ask any kiwi about the french

[Unregistered]

saw on saturday night that the tallest player on the coast team was sitting on the bench and wasnt suit up. so i would assume that he is injured or what ever reason to sit out that one. also coast does have more height then just anto and ty but just that they have lost interest in the sport due to the lack of opportunity and parental politic etc

how did the u20s south state trials go? who made it who didnt? and also any picks on the actual team???

ok so when does being top scorer, dropping 20+ points not qualify for a notable mention? Nash and Russ will carry the bay team, with help from a few quality players like the twins and stevie wang when he gets his clearance. Bay havent a lot to fall back on if these players get into foul trouble.

No wonder GC U/20's is such a sorry team and no decent players apart from Carlos and Brent are willing to have anything to do with you. Have some class buddy, you giving the Coast a sorry name.
mate read this properly i dont a son on this team im too young for a kick off his was posted by a runaway bay player we are not a sorry team i invite to watch our games and see for yourself and instead of bashing the team watch with an open mind and try and see what we are trying to achieve. all the bashing thats going on can only come from two sets of people ex coasters whom have 1 been caught up the politics crap that USED to go on and have given up or 2 ex coasters who got caught up in the politics and moved away to bay or another assn and are just taking pot shots . the possibility of extreme jelousy that coast are working hard to build a better place to play and the new assn wont do anything for them they need to learn to focus on the oportinuity they have else where and leave us to move on

quality players???? who are they???? arent they just the ordinary gold coast div 2 boys from the old days????

again a comment made about runaway bay players

[Unregistered]

again a comment made about runaway bay players

Do they mean thats because in the old days the Runaway Bay kids used to just get stuck in Div II teams at Gold Coast before they went out on their own? Dont tell me they are beating them now.

[Unregistered]

Ever since i been involved with GC there has been a real problem with infighting and politics, parents whinging about their kids not making teams etc. This is because there are so many players on the coast, and its impossible to put every decent player into a div 1 team, which ultimately leads to some players being left out. Thats why Bay created their own association so they didnt have GC coaches picking the kids that they coached down at palm beach or blades all teh time.

I know a lot of ballers in qld whinge about politics junior basketball, but gold coast was definately the worst. some teams had i bad in the old days, there were rumors of parents sleeping wiht the coaches to get thier kids into teams! Now its a lot better, theres enough talent on the Coast to make two strong associations.

Both U20's teams look strong, although Gold Coast unfortunately lack any big men, which will hamper them in the season ahead.

[Unregistered]

that is very true but the coach of the under 20s hates politics and dosnt have any baisis for clubs against players and the one of the guys he know well he droped and he is now at bay all the gold coast trials this year were close parents werent allowed in till the team was being named and it was a sucess.

Without going into all the sorry and sordid details of who did what and who said such and such, why is there so much controversy at Gold Coast Basketball? The Cris Riches thing is threatening to bring the management committee down with people working behind the scenes, volunteer coaches are getting shafted and scrutinised for every little thing, dedicated volunteers are getting disrespected and some kids are even scared of some coaches. It was a brave venture for some dedicated volunteers to restart the Association after all the crap of the 90's and they did it for the kids and had their hearts in the right places. It seems that somewhere along the track something has gone pear shaped and the welfare of the kids and the game of basketball has taken a back seat to controversy and political moves by outsiders.

bris beat caboolture by 30ish, mainly due to a horrible 3rd quarter by caboolture where they were outscored something like 35-5, rest of the game wasnt bad though.

Goldy won easily againt SW . Brent playing for them and his battle with Brendon the highlight.
SW rely to much on Brendon , need more from the rest but Goldy looked alright still think they would both need to improve to bother BBI.

Now with under 20s on show any thoughts on the 20s state team to play in Feb, my likely team,

P/G-Nash, Jordan

S/F- Clint,Drew
P/F -Zac,Brock
C-Mitch ,Garret(north)/Crombie

Subs- Bolk.George Coe

might look bias towards the south teams but i really cannot see to many north players making the grade,North have struggled in this age group for a few years ,South seems to have a lot of talent in this age group top and bottom agers.

How about Josh Jenkins? Very, very solid player.

I'd say Nash will be selected, aswell has Mitch Young, Zac Carter and Drew Phillips. Don't really see the big fuss in Nathan Crombie though. He's just arrogent and has trouble controling himself on the floor. Centers at under 20 nationals will wipe the floor with him.

crombie is soft as hell, put someone physical on him and he's gone. only thing he is good for is blocks

He will be among the first selected with the Damien Anderson/Sthn Districts tie up. Has been playing good ball with the institute team. Salecich, Steindle, Page, Young, Motum should all be certainties, Scott Kenny, Zac Carter very likely, Nash, Brendon likely, Crombie probably (Crombie has supporters in the North) and lucky dip from there.

Thats a very true call! Stiendle top scored on the recent A.I.S. tour of Italy and certainly cant be overlooked even though he was last year. Not sure Brendan would put either Zac or Clint out of that 2 spot although only Damien Andersen will know.

Anthony a great player in his age, played older age group in schools, marked Drew Phillips in final- Phillips with 28 points at half time. My state side-
Points Guards- Nash Alsop & Ceorge Coe
Shooting Guards- Scott Kenny & Clint Stindle
3s- Drew Phillips & Josh Jenkins
4s- Zak Carter & Brock Mottom
Bigs- Mich Young & Chris Smith

5 of the 10 players have already one a National Title in this age group this year in Cairns.
Only 2 bottom age Mitch & Brock, the rest of the AIS boys get to play for Canberra like Clint last year, get the experience at the older age group- didnt do Clint any harm.

Nice sentiments mate but I think you'll find the basketball mainstream and realists will consider that the daily training in the A.I.S. Program, the weekly competition in S.E.A.B.L., and the recent European international experience at the tournament in Italy would count as far more "experience" than the other guys you have mentioned will have obtained at some second rate school comp in Cairns and more than they will probably ever have in their careers.
Why would Queensland overlook their kids who are training every day within the National system preparing against International standard competition and preparing for the World Championships in the following year? A parents idea of "fair play"? It doesnt work like that in the real basketball world. Glad to see you can find a place for Mitch and Brocky.

Thats right about the Northerners but cant help thinking if they were the go they would be at the 'tute with the others preparing for the Worlds. Just dont know how the Coach will go and I'm glad its him and not me. Last years coach went against the flow and didnt pick a 'tute boy, (mind you Clint was raw as eggs and a surprise inclusion for the program at the time). Big call for Damien Anderson whether to go with a core of guys who have been playing/preparing for bigger things together every day or go the 'politic' route and pick some North kids. I know B.P. didnt hesitate with the Gold Medal 2005 team when the talent was all from the north and Rhys Martin was the only player from the South that finally travelled. Probably got to do whats best for Queensland and their chances of a medal.

I think last year Zac Cater was in the state team and at that stage he was already at the Tute,the team picked was the strongest team in the coaching staffs view and i think Damien and his coaching staff will go the same way i dont think there will be any political choices south or north, best players to suit his game plans will be picked,the experience and the full time training gained by the AIS boys will definately be an advantage but that alone will not gurantee a spot in the team,but i think you will find even tho majority of them are bottom age they will be very strong & fit and prob alot more court wise and just that little bit quicker in the decision making which you would expect from full time training ,there will some desicions for the coaching staff and every coach has his own views just like the keyboard coaches on here,as a key board coach my team would look something like this

P-G Jordan,& Nash

S-G Christian & Scott Kenny

S/F Clint & Drew

P/F Zac & Brock

C Mitch & Chris Smith

The team can go big or small numerous players can play different positions ,the guards can all run the point with efficency Christian can even slip into the 3 Clint and Zac can player 2-4Brock can slip into 3-5 if needed mitch 4-5,gives many options depending on the opposition and or foul trouble

What a great position Queensland Basketball is in when you have so much talent at this age, normally this is the age group when they have cars, girls, beach. But here we are talking about around 20 players , who would all do themselves proud playing for there state, so whatever coaches are doing from a young age, keep it up

This keyboard coach (and one time state system coach) reckons you've picked a beautiful team. havent seen much of young Cris Smith since his 18's year but if he's piked up in foot speed, intensity and physicality he could be an ideal rotation with Mitch at 5. Of course Mitch is looking to play 4 and even 3 down the track somewhere and Cris provides that opportunity to run Mitch in there for short spurts.
Well thought out team. I'd like to be coaching them.

[Unregistered]

I think that team is pretty spot on but i would perhaps consider teys over scott kenny. and Chris Smith is a bit weak in my opinion and a quite slow.

Brendan (Teys) is a different kind of guard than Scott Kenny and having made the decision to go with the 'court controlling' skills of Nash, Jorden and to an extent even Christian then you dont need Teys in the side for that, rather take Scotty Kenny for the luxury of a physical, rebounding guard who can finish hard in lane traffic as well as shoot the hell out of it like Brendan. Havent seen Cris Smith play recently. I agree that was a common complaint about him in U/16/18's but I had heard that he was playing with a lot more aggression and intensity these days after some obvious physiological changes. It is true that for the next 2 years Queensland has the luxury of being able to pick 2, maybe even 3 sides which would be competitive at National level in this age/gender group. Be interesting to see how many and who of them end up at College and the NBL.

Wizards over Caboolture by 30.
The majority make-up of that Wiz team would be their 2006-7 U/18 side, yeh? Biggish, athletic bunch with a red hot scorer in fwd spot and a half decent point guard that worked on the 'perpetual motion' principle. Didnt do much that year except "rattle"a few of the leaders on occasion. Always interesting to see how these kids and teams develop as time, experience and physiological changes take place. Caboolture were none too shabby that year from memory?

Not really. He is still settling in with new coach, new team mates and coming of the bench. Brent was the stand out for the coach and carried them. Ordinary game for the coast and have to improve to compete with the top teams [Brent comes of the bench]

Must be a strong starting 5 , would be one of the better 6 men in the comp.

Yeh Carlos when fully fit and firing is one of those players you cant hustle to stop him from shooting or he'll simply blow by you either hand, and you cant "gap" him to take away the drive or he'll simply drain the 3 on you at a very high percentage. Extremely 'smart' player also who 'knows' the game and understands why and how things happen and what needs to be done. Knows how to win.
Brent Sheppard is an extremely competitive player who combines considerable skills with an unerring 'focus' on the job at hand and a willingness to do those "1%'ers" tasks which spell the difference between winning and losing in a close contest. Brent has had to be fundamentally skilled to overcome lack of height and athleticism and his 'smarts' on the court are the reason he can compete at higher levels.
So with players of this quality coming off the bench how come Waves got beaten by the Bay? Is it just a case of 1st game confusion? Sounds like Waves should have the horses to beat anybody in the comp.

well said as far as the bay game goes ive posted a piece earlier reguarding that game as far as the quality of the bench its about the quality of the team i have an exceptional team of guys who will go out on the floor and do the job required no only for themselves but their mates on the team i have the luxury of being 11 deep we may lack height but the determination of the boys to step up and often play out of position and still look to achieve the goals we have set out is tremendous. yes people will look at my starting 5 and then the bench and say what the f.... especaly when you see carlos and brent there but when they hit the floor we are going well and we can break some teams when they see these two and think shit these two are fresh. as poeple have seen this is what we have gone with in the first 3 games but with 2 weeks off and then the capitals up next it will be tough but exiting at the same time as we will be better as a team and it will be a true measuring stick and face it i expect the caps to go thru unbeaten. then we can assess what we will do and how we will take on other teams.

As for our game against brisbane silver it was a good game of some ugly basketball and some great basketball special note should be given to nathan swan his 4th quater defence was huge diving for loose balls had a couple of big rebounds and pure heart and desire along with brent and adam brown at the offensive end they took control of the ball and made great options especaly when brisbane threw every thing they had at us to come back and nearly win the game the biggest lead we held was 11 at 3/4 time and they got within 4 but 7 v 10 players they just run out puff they were a well coached and drilled side with a fantastic fastbreak.

Good point as all 3 are damn fine players. The specifications and requirements to play international however are quite specific and they obviously feel the group chosen gives the best coverage of their requirements. I'd be surprised if they didnt keep a watching brief on Chitham and the twins however as putting the best team on the floor at Championships time is the name of the game and what they spend the tax payers money to achieve.

Carter omitted? Any reason? Where does that leave him now, returning to ipswich for aba?
I'm certain Zac was a SWM junior where his Dad also did some coaching. Anycase I was talking to a US College Coach at the Nationals in Adelaide in 2006 who was prepared to put an offer on the table there and then for young Zac. (Most exciting potential 2 man he'd seen on that trip to Oz he said.) Was actually disappointed that Zac was firmly committed to the 'Tute. You can count on College options being available to Zac but thats IF he still wants to play serious 'ball. Maybe he's ready to experiment with that phenomena called "life" and spread his wings and fly. Who knows ? Great outcome for Brocky to make it after taking the knocks, sticking to the task and finally getting the nod. Congratulations to all our boys continuing to make the grade.

how is a great move the whole competition has this weekend off with nothing on and then have a round next weekend smack bang in the middle schoolies how bright was this move id hate to be playing such a crucial game that week i hear half of the coast team will be at schoolies but they have to play the capitals so the draw favours them in that respect but could see percentage getting a hammering could be looking 80 pt loss as well as ipswich having the bye but in a cut throat 1 round season as it looks like its the way the season is going to played how will this hurt the teams next weekend

Gees man you need to read that about 4 times and put your own punctuation in to be even able to half understand it! Think I understand you, but suffice to say there are growing rumblings of discontent the amount of "influence" on Steve Brook, (the BQ employee), that is levered by Nic Such from BBI and Ace from SWM, about the running of the competitions in general. Steve is a nice guy, a bit inexperienced and so is grateful of a "hand" when it's offered. He just needs to be sure that the 'assistance' is given without strings attached and that the outcomes are not advantageous to the plans of Nic and Ace's Clubs. They are, after all, paid employees of their Clubs and forming strategic relationships with key stakeholders of the peak body are certainly amongst their job's KPI's.
Not sure that the weekend off then playing while the Coast guys are doing what Coast guys traditionally 'do', whilst Brisso guys traditionlly 'dont', has anything to do with this but good chance to throw this out there. There's so many perceived shonky goings on within BQ these days that if good old Steve finds himself compromised then thats the last person left with any integrity and trustability gone pear shaped as well.

[Fly]

Steve usually emails out to everyone with options, asking for feedback.

Maybe he doesn't get much (or any). Feedback that is.

Could well be right and that post was sent out in response to and during a 'mail out' for feedback. Would be poor form and premature if that's the case. Still, I have something that definately wasnt sent out for feedback causing a 'stink' amongst my team, parents, supporters (and myself) just now. I'm really hoping there's a valid explanation that I've just missed somehow.

its a waves player taking the piss and looking at the team W-L this early and saying they are not successful you only have to make the 4 and then its on then you take every game played eliminte win-loss look at the line up where they should finish, then where they finished and watch every game in full and understand what is the realistic goal of the team then judge success all people have done here is rubbish my selections and what we are doing any of you guttless lot who want to hide here and run me and my boys or anyone else whos trying to make a competition of this any one can feel free to approach me and talk about what im trying to do what im trying to achieve from the boys and im sure with all the experts here i can expect some good questains.

caps and coast to play double header in the coming weeks - caps to crush coast
wiz over the bay by close to 50 - bay showing no form what so ever
southwest over towoomba - no bench on either side, running 5 or 6 players because of schoolies

coast was willing to put their game before schoolies and turn up and give it a shot. Brisbane jus winge winge winge

[Unregistered]

sw with only 5players beat a full strength brisbane cap side by about 9 points, what made it worse was south west had a player foaled out with 1 quarter left, played last quarter with 4 players, brisy had 10 players. tessy scored over 40 points

[Unregistered]

its bullshit that the coast vs bbisilver game was postponed, its not like brisbane cant get backups. Is BQ gonna give teams a pardon every time some players cant show up?

Coast beat Ipswich today by 30ish, upton had 45

[Unregistered]

so capitals lost? that's definitely surprising, were they missing any big names?

[Unregistered]

any other results for the weekend.

[Unregistered]

i agree its bullshit what brisbane can get away with coast were going play with 7 drunk players from schoolies the extra week off cost them against nth side.

they were so rusty probly had about 30 turn overs at a minimum couldnt shoot the ball to save them selves. did show signs of improvment inthe 4th when the game was gone and they stoped bitching at the refs. but try starting again after 3 weeks off.

Its always been that way between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The Brissos dont have much to do in their little city lives and they know the Coast guys are always going to be having the very best time available and then some. Smart move by the Brissos and Gold Coast played into their hands. Bullshit how Brisso can get the comp changed whenever they want but.

[Unregistered]

dont think coast beat ips yet but anyways....
farout, if tessy got 40pts and having 4 players in the 4th, brisbane must be having 1 hard training sesh this week...
and as for brisbane postponing the game against coast.
absolute, utterly, bullshit.

[Unregistered]

brissy wont have brock for rest of season, at AIS , brisy have only 3 top age players, rest bottom age, silver have more top age players, will cost them

dont know who decided to postpone the game brisy thought they forfeited.

yeah but their top ages players are some of the best in the comp, doesnt matter about top and bottom age, if you're good enough to play caps instead of silver then u must be doing something right, and a shame about brock, im sure the rest of the league isnt too upset by it though

[Unregistered]

ill tell ya who got it postponed.
Brisbane.
coast was willing to throw all they had in them - while having few sober players from schoolies.

so brisbane gold will fall over now they've lost brock? doubt it.

[Unregistered]

sholud be 2 losses for brisbane if i was from north side id be pissed at that call could of been top spot for the semis and the better semi final

[Unregistered]

it doesnt really matter coz now we r sitting on top of the ladder. but just coz we r there doesnt mean we can relax. we got there thru hard work and if we r gonna stay there then we'll have to pull everything together evry single time

true but if you both keep winning they beat you in the round so they will be first and i think its going to be a fight between sth west brisbane silver and coast for the last two spots and i belive silver will be 4th if they make the finals id rather be first and have them

coast were woeful on sat night could catch the ball couldnt shoot and were very very flat even the coach just sat there at some stages but when they get it together and ive seen then play well they could be tough to knock over they did start to gain some momentum against nth side even tho the game was well over

Against Northside. Gold Coast=No momentum. they only scored 42 points.

Saw the games between SW & Runnaway Bay as well as Goldy v Caboulture. No Bredan but Shaun played a blinder it a bit of a worry if they can beat them without Teys. The goldy gamr was a bit weird wiyh Goldy up by 20 at have time but decided to change their D to zone which was taken apart by the shooters , Number 7 was on fire . Goldy got out of jail with Brent hitting some big three's down the stretch .

bay vs sw game was pritty boring. Bay had nothing, nash pulled a few shots, but expected from a player like him. SW just kept breaking into bay's lazy zone defense and also giving them the odd facial. Bay running for last posi?

i wouldnt call it a boring game, bay was only down by 3 points in the last minute. sw just had overall better players with only a small bench. bay had about 12 players but half of them just didnt know how to play ball

[Unregistered]

whose number 7 for cab? one of the adams?

nah it was hayden reed. had a great 2nd half, really led the way for the coast

and gold coast didnt switch to a zone and let the cab make a run, it was cab who changed up their D, and gave gcoast a hard time. cab stepped up in all areas, it was just a little too late.

No change at all. The U/20 State team has always had the reputation of the highest order for its selections and supportive reasoning. Its a hard team to make because it's all state, but also because of one of the team's tenets...
7. A "WE" GROUP
Attitudes can be developed just like physical skills. The u-20 team will be comprised of a "we" group rather than "I" people.
A "we" group is characterised by affection, mutual respect, self sacrifice and the absence of blame.
Players who see themselves as superior or those that allocate blame to their teammates or are jealous of team mates do not have the attitude to play on this team"

Players with the correct winning attitude like this arent found at every turn.

Too hard to pick, it really depends on what coach wants. One thing for sure is that there is more than enough talent, so some very good players are going to miss out.

Cant see any reason why you would drop the top points scorer of the recent A.I.S. tour against the European Pro teams for a raw andn undisciplined talent like Anto. Maybe think about going slightly smaller and faster by deleting Smith for Olah but dont know that there's really a place there for him. Also you dont have Salecich? Not sure that Teys is a better choice though admit it could be line ball at times. Salecich for his ability to gel with Page at PG.

true true, anto doesnt get the credit he deserves and his attitude has let him down in the past but has improved out of sight. his speed, mobility, athleticism and now shooting ability should be noticed as a threat and i think should definately be given a chance cos i can only imagine how well he would play if placed in an excellent team like this 1.

any word on the final squad for U20 men yet?

[Unregistered]

I dont think Smith or Crombie should be there... Maybe Crombie and play small ball, i got the chance to see last years team and they only had one big with Costanza. With Carter playing in the 4 alot.. I would choose olah but i heard his got a ego and that could b to much for this team even how good he is and kenny would be another who could make it but where do you put him.. George Coe if he tried out.. That Jenkins who was in the qld schools team... or garrett they are the old north kids who would have a chance but not sure who tried out.. My team would be:

PG's Page n Nash
SG's Teys n Budgie
SF's Clint n Drew
PF's Carter n Brock
C's Young n Crombie/Smith

Just curious, and not bagging your selections, but why would you not have Salecich? Christian is an outstanding finisher in the lane and has the deepest "no fear" 3 ball in the business. Exciting to watch Christian when he runs off Jord and Nash. How could you fit Georgie Coe in with PG's the quality of Jorden and Nash? How does Scotty Kenny not get selected after the outstanding ABA season he had and his 'mind-level' coordination with both PG's Page and Nash? Teys is a great player and even nicer bloke but needs the ball in his hand and to control the game to show his full quality. In a team with PG's the quality of Page and Allsopp this isnt going to happen for Bren. Garrett's too slow to run the floor with Young, Motum, Stiendle, Salecich, Carter and Kenny and thats saying something about the quality of player in this years team as Garrett's a bloody good player like Georgie Coe, just not quite the same as the South crop of this particular year. Again not bagging your opinions just being the devil's advocate and asking the questions.
Page-Allsopp
Carter/Kenny
Stiendle/Brock/Salecich
Young/Olah/Smith
As you can see there's a fair bit of ability to cross over positions and play different styles with the personnell in that line up. That's just my "dream team" that I'd feel supremely confident of winning with. The truth is you could swap/delete/include any number of players into this and still come up strong. I have always believed tht if you get your 1 and 5 positions right you are half way there. Page and Mitch take care of that. Nice crop from QLD this particular group.
Cheers

my team would be:

jorden - dont even need to say anything
nash - very well played pg, doesnt need to score to control the game, already have scoring power, but he can help controll the tempo
drew - outstanding 2 years, made all aust for 2years in a row with mvp, was in the team last year and had very solid numbers, v good scorer, best attacking player in getttin to the rack.
christian - shooter, and complements jorden v well as seen at nationals can also b the defener to shut down the opposition
scott - improved heaps over the past 2 years also, his season with the clippers spoke wonders, also makin all aust this year, v good spot up shooter also defender, plays alot like christian but doesnt but up that many unforced shots
clint - improved alot over the past year that he was at the ais, improved his scoring ability.
zac - can play anywhere from 2 - 4, having that ability will help in this team as there not the biggest team out but they could go big and have him playin in the 2-3 spot
Brock - improved out of site, very good score, gets on the boards hard and earns his spot, should be a very god scorer in this team.
mitch - dont even need to say anything

I would be very surprised if there wasnt at least one north kid in the team, maybe all the south people do need to realise that althought this is a tough group in the south there still is the occasional good kid coming out of the north. My team is

Jordan/George
Christian/Brendan
Zac/Drew
Brock/Clint
Mitch/Nathan

Personall I would love to coach this team. The reason i would pick George instead of Nash is because he is a true PG and in my opinion the only one in the group, i see Jordan more as a 2/1. George's ability to defend the point position up the floor is better than anybody's in this age group, probably because of his involvement with the Taipans in training against NBL guys everyday.

Very astute judge about Georgie Coe. (Nash made it in as well though Crombie didnt)

[Unregistered]

Nash is the most pure point guard you will find so how you can say you'd pick George over Nash I dont know. Nash plays D and creates for everyone else on his team with his great passing. Just not playing well with a team like the Bay. Put him on the 20's and I think he'd kill it...Dont know what happened the previous years of him being in the team though...I heard he struggled :S

Dont have to convince me about Nash mate. He's a winner and I'd take him on any team. He's never struggled at 20's or any age group. Just saying that Georgie Coe has been selected as well as Nash.???

From all the previous posts will i be wrong to assume the team looks something like this

P/G-Jorden ,George, Nash
S/G- Christian,Brendan
S/F- Clint,Drew
P/F - Zac,Brock
C- Mitch

Obviously if this is the team players will play in different roles ,a team picked to play up tempo fast break basketball with a lot of quick players ,will not suite a couple of players in this line up though.

I like the look of the team ,just think 1 big man short there will be a couple of 7ft players in other teams and the boys might struggle in the rebounding department

Over in America the better players were Cody Ellis, Jesse Casperz, George Coe, Drew Phillips and in the final game against Mt. Zion, a top 10 ranked school, Meteors players Josh Jenkins and Todd Blanchfield stood up and took it right at the Yanks. Both players hit consecutive triples and if not for some so so coaching decisions, the Aussies would have gotten across the line. Props to Jenkins for guarding Mt. Zion's 6-8" FREAK. Sickest hops ever from the film I seen

If you had the opportunity to have Scotty in the State Team who would have had to miss out ?

Omit Coe of course. George is a good player and a great bloke however doesnt have the shooting nor rebounding capabilities of Scott Kenny.
