Do the Wildcats administratum think that Perth fans are total losers?

If I tell you all what the 3/4/ time entertanment was at the Perth
Entertainment Center on saturday night, promise not to laugh?

They set up three chairs in the middle of the court, grabbed four 
unsuspecting souls from the crowd, and started some really stupid
music over the sound system. The idea being that they play
MUSICAL CHAIRS!!! 

What a joke. I felt serverly ripped of at this pathetic attempt at
entertainment. I also felt really ashamed to be in Perth at that 
moment, because it seemed that most of the spectators around me loved it.
"Will they do that again next week?" "I hope they pick me!!" 

(I am not a perth fan. I am the anti-perth. I've always supported
Norths and Eastside.)

The other spell binding, totally amazing thing that the courtside
commentator made sure he explained at least four times was the giant
billboard for the wildcats sponsor, Swan Gold (beer). It was as wide 
as a basketball court, and a third as tall as a court is long, and
it was hanging at one end of the court, bombarding us with messages
to drink Swan Gold beer. The commentator told us that it is the
largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere, and a first for 
Australia. (Big fat hairy deal!!) "And get this Perth, it'll be a regular
from this game on...." 

But, one thing that I did like was the 'Hustle board.' For each team
it counts the number of rebounds, steals and assists, and gives the
total. It is updated every time a player happens to get a rebound,
steal or assist. 

Which brings me to one question. What is a rebound? Must it be caught
right off the backbourd or the ring to be counted, or is it allowed
to bounce on the floor? 

For stats purposes, can anyone define this please.

thankyou....

Yes, I agree.  The thing that surprised me was their offence.  I have
seen the Magic in a couple of the pre-season games, and their offense
has been outstanding (not surprising, given talent like Bolden, 
Parkinson, Newton, Perry, Lucas and co.. pretty fine array of talent), but
their defence has left a bit to be desired (a trait of team that has not
yet quite ''gelled`` as a team...).  On Saturday, their offence was
really lousy.  Lots of hesistation, no one hitting the open J consistantly
etc.. Their D is still pretty bad too..  Overton found a passage to
the hoop or the open man far too frequently.  Dorge is their one big
shining light in defence, since he is pretty big intimidator within
six feet of the basket.

>the playoffs. Parkinson won't be happy with about 15 mins a night. 

I agree, but if Parkinson continues to play the way he did on Saturday
night, that is all he deserves.  Not that it is really fair to single
out Parksinson, since the whole team played pretty lousy, and I'm sure
that he will play much better in the games to come.

>Ninnis played really well. First time I have seen him shoot a decent %
>of jumpers.  BTW Was the bad shooting nerves... pressure ... hard rings ...?
>I tend to believe it was the hard rings which players were unaccustomed too.

Yes, mention was made of this at the Melbourne game of the previous night.
But in this league, you shouldn't need to ring to help you get points, just
the bottom of the net.  The rings reminded me very much of NBA rings and
they have no problems over there.

Apparently came off the bench in a few pre-season games.  Not a good sign
for an import.  The last import I recall doing that consistantly was
Jeff Allen from Perth!  Hobart seem to pick up at least one lousy import
per year (Englestad, Fyffe...).

CRAWFORD AVOIDS AN EXTRA PENALTY

Wildcats star James Crawford has escaped judicial action after being sent
from the court by referee Eddie Crouch during the game against Geelong
Supercats at the Entertainment center on Saturday night.
The Wildcats led by 17 points when Crawford was ejected near the end of
the third quarter after his elbow struck 18-year old Geelong forward
Matt Alexander on the chin.
The Geelong Rookie rushed off the court for medical treatment and later
returned to the game with stitches covered by protective plaster.
But Crawford did not return.
In compliance with new international basketball rules, he had to suffer
the indignity of walking from the arena in front of a stunned home crowd.
It was the first time he had been sent off the court in his long NBL
career, which ironically began with Geelong in 1982.
Thanks to a lion-hearted final quarter from Tiny Pinder, the Wildcats
were able to hang on for a six-point win, but Crawford's ejection could
have been costly.
Referee Crouch said later that he had been surprised at Crawford who he
considered to be one of the cleanest sportsmen in the game.
However, he was sure that use of the elbows had been an intentional
and reckless move.
He said Crawford had his back to Alexander and was watching the ball at
the time.
"If he had looked at Alexander and then elbowed him in the face I would have
reported him to the judiciary and he might have been liable for suspension,"
Crouch said.
"The fact that he had his back to the man saved him."
"There are different ways to penalise a player, starting with two free throws
and possession for the other team, followed by disqualification from the 
game if I think it is warranted."
"In this case I thought disqualification was sufficient."
"It was not like James to do that sort of thing and I thought it might do
him some good to have a sit-out."
Wildcats rookie Chris Carroll will long remember the incedent because it
happened while the basket of his NBL career was on its way to the hoop.
Alexander was doing his best to prevent Crawford from going up for the
rebound and went a bit too far when he stretched his right arm across 
Crawford's left shoulder and into his face.
Coach Murray Arnold made it clear later that he would not discuss the incedent
when asked for his impression on the clash.
"That's none of your business. There's no way I'll be talking about anything
like that," he fired.
When asked if Crawford had been reported, Arnold refused to answer.
"You can talk with the referees if you want. That's private stuff between
the referees and the palyers. It's nothing to do with me."
He said he thought that some other sports had a problem in that there was
too much press coverage of judicial matters which he believed should not
be made public.

Give the Duntechs a listen too. I can't remeber the exact models
off the top of my head, but value for money they are imposible to

Help,

We can't figure out the australian legal system/insurance system.


What happened:
A german friend, just arrived, bought a bike & starts cycling.
So far so good, he is cycling on the bike-path near the river,
suddenly another cyclist appears from the opposite side (my
friend might have been looking at the water, never mind).
Anyway, they are both surprised, trying to avoid a collision the
other cyclist keeps to the left, my friend's instinctive reaction
to a dangerous object coming towards you is, you already guessed
this: keeping right.

BANG ! (collision)

Luckily both were wearing helmets, the australian cyclist only
chafed his arm and was understanding, the bicycles didn't have
any damage. And they lived happily ever after...

End of story.



Here is my question:

As far as we know it is impossible to get an insurance to cover
this kind of accidents. 
What happens if, by my fault, someone's bike gets total loss?
What happens if the poor man ends up in hospital?
If I drive a car, my third party insurance pays, if I ride a
bicycle I have to pay it myself???????

This is STUPID, please someone tell me more about it, when I think
about these consequences I am afraid to get up my bike and
ride home again. But then, I assume that when I walk on the
street and cause a car to park itself against a tree (e.g. careless
crossing of the street) there is no insurance either,
is there?

And how about my children setting the meighbours' house on fire
or kicking a ball through their window?

Many home insurance policies have a cover for personal liability.  This
may cover some of the costs if someone sues you for negligence.  If you
join Bicycle Victoria, one of the benefits, I think, is that you get a
third party cover.  I.e. you are covered for damage that you cause to 
another person or thing, but not for damage that you cause to yourself.

I am not an expert on these matters!! Don't quote me on any of the above.

Hello,

I know this is not strictly the right group to post this sort of letter to, but
I figured there might be a chance of someone in aus.bicycle being tuned in to
the national alternative lifestyle thread.

I'm looking for info on the Down to Earth Autumn Celebration, being held
from 17 - 21 April '92 at Tocumwal on the Murray River.  If anybody can tell me
where exactly the festival is being held I would be most grateful.

Down to Earth are a Melbourne-based co-operative which run ConFest, an
alternative lifestyle festival usually held over the new-year period each year. 
This is a great hippie event, attracting some 5000 people from all over Oz and
beyond.  This year however, there was no ConFest (= conference-festival) and
the Autumn Celebration is taking place in it's stead.  Unfortunately people
from places other then Melbourne are being discriminated against by Down to
Earth, because there was no publicity for the festival and tickets are
available at this late stage only from Friends of the Earth in Melbourne (no
ticket mailing facilities).  

Any help from anyone knowing anything about any of the above would be most
welcome.  Strive for Peace,

 I may be wrong but my guess would be that an impact that breaks your neck would

After consulting my bookshelves, writing down a list, losing the list,
and reconstructing it from memory, and taking the looser interpretation
of SF & F rather than Pure SF, here is my list, in alphabetical order
of author.

Hawk of May			- Gillian Bradshaw
Far Side of Evil		- Silvia Lousie Engdahl
Flowers For Algernon		- Daniel Keyes
Empyrion			- Stephen Lawhead
Out of the Silent Planet	- C.S. Lewis
The Princess and Curdie		- George MacDonald
Pangur Ban, the White Cat	- Fay Sampson
A Wind in Cairo			- Judith Tarr
The Lord of the Rings		- J.R.R. Tolkein
The Snow Queen			- Joan D. Vinge

Most of these were chosen because I'd like to read something more
encouraging than not, if I were marooned on a desert island!
If the limit was not ten, and not just SF&F, I'd add all the books
of which the above are part of a series.  I'd replace A Wind in Cairo with
the Hound and the Falcon trilogy (maybe).  And I'd add Gillian Bradshaw's
The Beacon at Alexandria (which is historical) and Calvin Miller's
The Singer trilogy (which is allegorical).  And maybe some John Wyndham
and Orson Scott Card.
By which time I'd drown if I tried to swim with all the books!
