Season in review

IMO this season has been one of the most closely contested ones in recent history.

In the women, Centrals and Woodville have both been competitive and have a times pushed higher placed teams to pull out most of the stops to get the win.

South you would have to say were the biggest disappointments of the season, but the Norwood, Eastern and West were capable of an upset win against a more fancied side. Southern, Forestville, North & Sturt the heavy weights of the comp but none have really established their dominance over any of the other top 4.


The men relies on this weeks games to decide the finals format. Will Woodville falter and fail to make the finals after last years glory? Sunday night we will know. North the big improvers. Southern and South dangerous at times. Centrals beset by injury were a surpise at times, simply because nobody knew which team would take the floor. If they had stayed fit, they could have been finalists. Will Eastern and Sturt fall away now Holmes, Forman, Smylie are no longer playing?

Will Forestville fall to the pressure of finals and come up short in the minor round? Will Norwood reputed to have thrown money at their senior teams manage to make the finals?

Will this weekend see Panther play his last ABL game...if so thanks for the memories a great career...if not see you next season.

Yes D Brent I can read, however to somebody who doesnt know where 'The Jungle' is I thought the question clarifying where the literal location for the game is was an understandable one. Also seeing as it turns out you were incorrect and the game isnt being played in any particular jungle I will hand you a glass full of your misinformed information garnished nicely with your own sarcasm and ask you to swallow it. Next time perhaps think twice about writing so righteously, especially when what you say lacks facts.

i dont see how i was wrong...the game is at marion, aka the jungle. you are the one who obviously has no what idea you are talking about so maybe you should be the one doing the swallowing anon. also did you read the post right above yours which stated that the game was at marion?? either learn how to read and comprehend or dont post!! for future refence i will give you a list of the stadiums alternate names so you dont make yourself look like such a twat next time.

marion - the jungle
morphett vale - the cage
hillcrest - the launchpad
wayville - the nest
pasadena - the public liability centre
mars - the volcano
pt adelaide - the slums
starplex - centrelink arena
the dome - the battlefield
mt barker - the saloon

Marion was mentioned to me as the Brothel, cos you always get screwed there. Don't know why?

Can't imagine this will diffuse the situation, but Sturty6ers' "home" stadium is actually very nice - certainly better than Marion! You can't go by his alias.
