Both the Women and Men's competition is getting tight for final spots with only five rounds to go. Too hard to call who will make it. Anyone have any thoughts

Men's League
Woodville and Norwood are in a tight battle for the Minor Premiership. West and North look solid in the Top 5 with South, Forestville and Sturt battling for the final spot.
Centrals, Mavs and Tigers are all having early showers this year. Time to throw caution into the wind boys, clear the bench and plan for next season.
Jack's Tip: Woodville, Norwood, Norf, West, South
MOTY: South @ Sturt this round. Must win game for both sides. Refs better get their white canes out. When was the last time South played a finals game?
Women's League
Norwood have locked in the Minor Premiership so the pressure is on the Norwood men not to be second!
Only the Tigers and Lions out of contention. Forestville need to win every game so you would think Wayville might be a ghost town come finals time.
South still a mathematical chance, but look like they will fall short by a game or two. Mavs in a similar position. They may have to beat Woodville at St Clair to force a three way split.
Jack's Tip: Norwood, Norf, West, Woodville, Sturt
Tucker not interested in premier league wants to win reserves and 23's, shows the incompetence at southern continues!

Wouldnt say Tuc isn't interested in premier league.... the problem is the 23 side is pretty much the premier league side. Can only work with what you got

More anonymous #keyboardwarriors bagging Forestville and Sharon maybe you should get a life.
Is it bagging when the info is straight from a current player? Contract isn't getting renewed. More are happy about that than aren't

When did players make contract decisions on coaches. I would have thought that would be a board decision.

More than who are happy..Have you surveyed the group perhaps ?
You don't think the players wouldn't have talked about it at any point?

with an average age of 22 i am not sure the decision will rest with the players..
We can all only hope that Forestville does reappoint Sharon as the club will continue to lose players.
NFI - if you think that her playing her own daughter hasn't had a massive effect on player moral, then you really do have NFI

Annon ripping into forestvilles coach probably plays at southern now, the best run club in South Australia where it's a criteria to have a daughter in the senior team to be on the committee
Interesting look of the leagues...
In the women's
1st Norwood (locked in)
2nd North (Locked in)
3rd through 5th
Woodville (11-7) with Norwood, Sturt, South, Eastern remaining expected final record 13-9 after losses to Norwood and South (I'm 50/50 on the Sturt game but would tip Woodville)
West (10-8) with South, Southern, Norwood, Forestville remaining. Expected final record 13-9 after losing to Norwood (I am 50/50 on the South game but think West will get up)
South (9-10) with West, Woodville and Southern remaining. Expected final record 12-10 (although that depends on the West result)
Sturt (9-9) with Eastern, Woodville, Forestville and North remaining. Expected Final record 10-12 (I expect Sturt to lose to Woodville)
All others out of contention

Big game this Week in the mens (woody and flames).
Home court advantage a big bonus?!
Womens: Outside of norwood, the rest of the pack is tight. Haven't seen much of Norths former olympian. They are V good when she plays
