ABA FINALS

What are people's predictions?
It's hard to look past Forestville in the womens, with them having the upper hand smashing West last time they meet (a couple of weeks ago) and only losing by a couple on double over time in round 1.

Is it just me? Or has interest in the ABL wained over this season... and maybe last season as well?
Its taken until Friday night to get a thread on this weekends games... Wouldn't imagine so little threads and posts on here during ABL finals 3 or 4 yrs ago.
Not being negative... just curious as to the reasoning?

should be cracker in the men's game. The Feagles get a chance to redeem themselves on Norwood's home court after 2 finals losses in a row to them.

Norwood beat Forestville in overtime. Norwood trailed most of the game but always within striking distance. A great gutsy effort from Norwood to turn it around in the last 2 minutes of the game. Whilst if looked that Forestville was the dominant team throughout most of the game, the last 2 minutes saw Norwood take the upper hand and carried that right through to the end of overtime. Will be an interesting grand final to try and predict as Sturt only narrowly beat Norwood last week and Norwood of late has had the experience in getting up there when it counts. My prediction is Norwood by a very narrow margin.

I thought it was a great game between Norwood and Forestville! Well done to Norwood, but i thought it was Forestville who was the gutsy team! Norwood this year has the exact same team that won it last year and the eagles had lost Oakley, Arnold, Fildes, Wilson, Haydon, Breeding and didn't have back up point guard Harvey due to him going to college a couple of days ago! And if it wasn't for Gerlach fouling Webber on a three pointer with 5 seconds to go in regulation the eagles would be thru to the grand final....they probably deserved to be in the GF, but then again they deserved to win it last year and got beaten by a prayer....thats hoops i guess!
Both teams had some big performers on the night. Cooper was probably the best for Norwood. Webber and Grantham hitting massive shots down the stretch.
Gerlach, Sullivan, Sutton were all solid for the eagles. Hoban and Dougie battled hard on the boards, Dougie hitting some big 3's...love watching that guy play! But although they seemed to have Norwoods measure thay still found a way to lose!
Great prelim final....hope the grand final is just as good!
man that was a finals game to remember! had everything u could ask for. a good solid tough game between 2 great teams. and another epic finish. the atmosphere at mars was awesome too. over the last few years there really has been some good finals games and crowds at mars!
Stadium for GF? T.B.A. according to sportingpulse.
