Premier League Rounds 11/12

Saturday

Woodville vs Centrals
Lions would be feeling comfortable after a couple of recent victories. Both Jimma Dau and Riccardo Martin have been consistent performers while big import Keith Jumper could have a field day against an undersized opponent. Perry hasn't been playing much (not sure if form or injury) but he would need to fire along with Everett Osborne to challenge.

Centrals by 9.

North vs Southern
One of a few great matchups this weekend. After a shock loss, North regrouped last week and with some added firepower returning looked much better last week. Southern only played one good quarter last week but it was enough to get by Sturt. Hillcrest is a unique place to play and North will be seeking to avenge their earlier drubbing at Morphett Vale.

North by 4. Starling 36 and 22.

Norwood vs West Adelaide
Speaking of great matchups, this is looking like a preview of August. Both teams have been in good form, with narrow wins over Forestville and narrow losses to Southern. McGriff now a serious MVP candidate after his 40 point performance last week. Not sure if Dowdell or Jordan West will play, which could be the difference.

West by 8 if both play. West by 3 if one plays. Norwood by 6 if neither play. Yes, the fence is a comfortable place to sit!

Sturt vs Forestville
This may actually be the most important game of the weekend. Sturt seemingly overwhelmed last week in the first quarter but admirably won the last 3 quarters. Forestville came up crushingly short against West. Have heard DJs stint is up in Argentina so wouldn't be surprised to see him suit up this weekend. A win would put Sturt a game + the split above Forestville and I'd say almost cement their finals campaign, and Tony's COTY along with it.

Sturt by 3 in a semi upset.

Eastern vs South
Teams seemingly trending in opposite directions. Would expect a close match but have a feeling Rios is in better form than anyone at South and will lead the Mavs to victory.

Mavs by 6.

No time for full Sunday preview yet but quickly:

Norwood over Centrals by 12 in a fast paced match
Southern over Eastern by 8 in a closer affair than people expect
West over Sturt by 7 regardless of West or Dowdell playing
Woodville over South by 6 in the battle of the sinking ships
North over Forestville by 9 to complete a huge weekend for the Rockets

By no means a southern fan- but how would North pull out a 40 point turnaround this week compared to Round 2

Welcome back!

I'm chucking a multi on

Centrals -10
Tigers - 20
West - 5 - game of the round
Eagles - 10
Eastern - 10

Tigers had a few out last week. Average players only so shouldn’t make any difference that they’re potentially back

Your hate for southern continues in another of episode of "Total Wank Disguised by a Clever Title".

At some stage he has to get tired of it right? who knows.. maybe his pinny forces the testosterone back up into his brain.

Either way, I sincerely hope you stop posting soon or give control of your account to a 5 year old so we can get some more accurate predictions.

There predictions. Don't get your panties all twisted.

If you don’t like them make your own.

Coming across very precious. Maybe you should stop your 5 year old from posting for a while.

People have to remember that Southern have been totally shit since the cashed up teams of the 90s, all that frustration is to be expected from fans that had to wait to buy some more titles.

I'd honestly have no problem with a couple of the end of the bench boys playing in the Panthers ladies team.

Half time score in the Rockets v Tigers game.... 24-48.... Ouch! Man those Tigers keep getting lucky! ;) Will be interesting to see if North come back and make a game of it?

Who did north have out?
Starling and reed the greatest import combo in the league?
West still favourites after Norwood giving them a hiding?
Tigers still lucky?
Majook to forestville?
Wise number 3 with an MVP 10 points?
Centrals are a finals contender losing to Woodville?
Is Al's job secure after a convincing win against the amazing mavs?

My predictions for tomorrow

Woodville to put another nail into the coffin that's going to be hurried along with Al’s coaching career.

Southern by 50, mavs may just forfeit though.

West to bounce back against Sturt, Cassella might fire up at the refs again like he did last time he coached at this level, oh wait, he is still a rookie coach.

Norwood to flog centrals

And Forrestville to give Starling a +/- of -50 for the weekend!

Tough round to pick!

Didn't know Majok was in & made all the difference.

McGriff may be the best scoring import we have seen in a while.

No Harding for North maybe the difference. Wasted Schilds career night like the Cavs wasted LeBrons 51 the other night.

I think North must have missed Harding's 3pts and 3rbs per game tremendously! He would have been the difference in helping them overcome the 30pt deficit last night?

There were only two players which broke even or negated their direct opponent for North - Starling and Schilds(as best can be assessed who was on who). The rest had nights best to forget

Anyone with some proper predictions for today?

Norwood by 12
Southern by 30
West by 10
Woodville by less than 5
If Majok plays, Forestville by 5

North look to be a step behind the top few teams at this point.

THEY'VE GOT A PLAYER OUT LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!!!!
They’ll bounce back when that guy nobody has heard of re-joins the line up.
And cj gets some game shape.
And Alex get some calls on offence.

Still the best import combo in the league.
North V West GF

Shooting % differential causing issues for North. CJ can't hit the side of a barn at the moment and too many easy looks for opposition due to lack of containment by North guards and wings.

Hate to be a big in that team at the moment trying to cover that

Garth - 14.75 Pts 5.5 Ast 7.5 Reb 28.57% 3.5 TOPG
Reed - 10.82 Pts 2.91 Ast 3.45 Reb 34.81% 2.2 TOPG

1/2 of the best import Duo, wait till he's in shape.......must be good being Starlings Best Friend.
Will Wise strong candidate for MVP still, Quality.

Delusional about wise.

Garth- first option.
Reed- second or third option.

Crazy his stats aren't as good as Garth’s.
