R17 ABL Action

In what looks like an exciting end to the season:
Mavs-Warriors @ Mt Barker (woof, woof)
North-South @ Tin Shed South
Flames-Lions @ Mars
West-Sturt @ The Woolstore
Eagles-Tigers @ The Dog hall

Women:
Mavs & Warriors playing for pride. Could go either way I would suggest.
North-South will be tight. Would expect South to win.
Flames should have the Lions licked by quarter time as they are desperate.
Westies should round off Sturt and go into finals with an edge.
Tigers have nothing to loose, but Eagles should get the W at home.

Men:
Mavs & Warriors playing for pride. Could go either way.
North-South: Should be a game to watch. Lots of pressure on North and although a wooden spoon looks eminant, South are there to pester and annoy the higher teams. South need to play some D and create turnovers to have any chance of an upset win.
Flames success revolves around good D. Heard that Coops isn't playing this weekend? Is this a sign that an upset win is on the cards and could keep the dream alive for the Lions?
A full strength Sturt is difficult to beat.
"The Brads" have a bit tooo much firepower at home.

So, could be an interesting round in both the mens and womens! In the womens, North and Norwood could both be on 10 W each going into the last round or there could be a log jam on 11Ws with Sturt/South/North. In the mens, The Lions dream of playoff action could either be shattered, or else kept alive and the ultimate Northern Showdown setup the week after.

South beat North by 1 according to sporting pulse. Does that mean next week is irrelevant and we shall hear the roar in the finals for the first time in many a year?

North and Central both 8-9. The winner will go through to the finals. What a game it will be!

beaniebear, no. Next week is extremely relevant. North and Centrals are now both on 8 wins. They are playing each other in the last round. So whoever wins that game will finish 5th and will play West at Port Adelaide in an Elimination Final on the 15th.

just got off mt arse, and checked head to head. Norwood v Sturt and North v Centrals will shape finals series.

Kosmider drained a deep three on the buzzer for South. A game of two very different halves.

After tonights results Centrals would have to be considered favourites on form, but if North play a full game its hard to see how the Lions can stop them.

The tin shed will be packed to the rafters next Sat night.

The question is, will the Lions bring feather dusters to clean the rafters, or with the Rockets have enough?

If it's a draw, the Lions go through.

A lot will hinge on Eric Burdon's shooting.

Against South 6/21 and 1/9 from 3 point land is not up to his usual high standard,

So if it's a draw in the North v Centrals men's game there will be no over time? That doesn't make sense, they always play overtime until a final score? Can someone verify?

Did Centrals really beat Norwood? I won't believe it until I see the results on Sporting Pulse, why is it taking so long for them to come up?

mate i was there. cioffi, todd, clarke, templeton and parker all big double figure games . Lions scored 122, atkins home with flu.

Hillcrest will be rocking better build a stand on crt 2. Blue army on the way.

8bucks to get into mars, joke gotta be dearest abl gate price?

So the women's finals seem set now with Westies winning the minor priemiership.

first round of finals should be

Sturt vs. Forestville at Wayville
and
South vs. North at Hillcrest

That is unless North loses to centrals or forestville loses to eastern.

these are the ramifications of last nights results. (again provided north beats centrals and forestville beat eastern)

1)forestville misses out on the opportunity to catch west for 1st place
2)South's loss means they lose home court for finals
3)North and Sturt wins mean Norwood misses out on finals

I agree Tripod, bloody joke for Marden to charge $8, plus no bar options either. Who decides the gate price?

south v north men was a game of two different halves indeed.. was awesome to see the panther army out to see them over the line, even though the panthers are bottom.

After the past couple years i cant see the Rockets not making finals.

If i was West id be hoping centrals win, as meeting the Rockets first round in an elimination final would be dangerous.

Anonymous,

Centrals beat West on their home court 3 weeks ago 91/80 and are probably playing better now. They may prefer to play North.

It makes sense that West would prefer North as they seem the easier target. Rhino should remember all the North plays, so playing West North would need to mix things up a bit. Lions have grown another leg and have momentum.

Definitely match of the round next week, match of the year. BSA better make sure they have the best refs at Hillcrest 'cos I can see it'll be a pressure cooker inside the tin shed.

A Lions win would have them roaring up north and come a finals series, the fairy tale is alive.

Jack, Tracy would have changed every play North run at the start of the year, so Kersten wouldnt be much help.

I do agree, game of the year, closely followed bt Sturt v Norwood. Webber is tough as, give him half a look and he's knocking it down.

'After the past couple years i cant see the Rockets not making finals.'

That just doesn't really make sense. If Central beat them this week, then North are out. So your comment really means 'After the past couple years i cant see the Rockets losing this game.'

It will be a cracker of a game. Central are so much fun to watch right now. Whitmore has them playing on adrenalin and passion, and they continue to get it done with such an unexperienced and youthful bench.

Centrals will have no hope if they make it as they won't have cioffi, templeton or the big stick but in saying that hope they make it anyway

I reckon Trace would have changed all the plays too, but the Rhino should have remembered all the old plays, so if the Burdman calls a "31", will it be the old or new play?

In regards to the North v Centrals men this week, if the game is a draw at full time - will there be overtime until a definite winner is established?
