Great write up but care factor now seems to be pretty low.
It's actually sad to see the "masterful job of assembling" crew knocking off good teams one by one, who have endured a season of playing together only to be potentially cheated out of their 2018 opportunity by the hired, hardly suited, one unqualified, NBL players.

I wouldn't care much either if my team was out either

Norwood will live and die by the 3. If DJ is motivated then no-one can stop him, in fact I don't think anyone has stopped Teys either all year. Superior depth with Norwood, once again all the basketball hopes of everyone outside Forestville are going with the flames.
On a side note can one of you forestville cheaters tell Andy to stop wearing the denim shorts, A) It's winter, B) it's not 1998, C) Between him and Rashad they look like street kids

Neither of Forestvilles coaches dress that well. Monica's multicoloured tights are worse than Andy’s fake Yeezys though

Norwood handed tigers the win - tigers still lucky I guess.

Andy's macrame denim shorts are iconic.

Norwood by 4 with continuity and team work getting it done over ring ins.

Forestville by 3 in the girls over a determined Tigers team.

Mike Gibson strikes again with referee appointments. Best panel is doing women's game and others doing the men. I guess he expects Monica to coathanger Mollie and wants to stop the thuggery!!.

The men will be playing as gentlemen and I guess no issues.

For what it is worth Forestville over Norwood by 15 with refs being intimidated by Andy and the 36ers.

On women's side Tigers over Forestville in a close game though it could go anyway. Winner to inflict first loss on North in GF!

Men
Wieland, Starkey, Hall

Women
Durant, Gillings, Griguol

Which 6ers are playing for Forestville?

Doyle back

I wrote off Forestvilles women before the season with the team they had. They've done really well

Once again forestville have bent the rules to make a final, prominent club, give it a break.They are a disgrace to the competition.

Salty Norwood or Southern supporter?

Prominent club......ha, ha, ha, ha.
Well done to the girls.
EVERYONE involved in the men's program with the DJ farce should be ashamed of their association to the club. I wonder if there was anyone at the Eagles who thought "this decision was unsportsmanlike and maybe we shouldn't abuse a by-law to buy a title"? Surely someone said something?
Other clubs, coaches and players ALL have a right to be "salty" after this farce that Forestville turned the 2018 finals into.
Straight up CHEATS.
I am from neither Southern, Norwood, West or North for the record.

So can anyone actually comment on the games, rather than all the other crap?

Forestville again waited until late to win it, Michael Harris scoring 20 in the last quarter after only having three foul shots til then to drag them across the line. DJ one assist off a big triple double. Umpires shocking.

Do you mean the umpires at the Port v Eagles game or the referees at the Norwood v Forestville game?

You would have to say the Eagles women have done amazingly well with an incredibly young team. It is obvious those young girls have great synergy with each other playing juniors together for so long. I thought Liv Thompson stood up amazingly well in 2 nd half last night to force the win. Looking forward to a great game next week.

Forestville always had more talent than most gave them credit for. They're just young.

Pre-season I had them finishing 3rd, so going one or two better is a good result IMO but possibly not overachieving.

I still expect North to handle them somewhat comfortably though.
