In the Women's

Eastern vs. Sturt
Sturt easy with their new additions, Eastern are pretenders They have had all their upsets for this year. (Sturt +15)

North vs. Southern
3 losses in a row for the Rockets, I feel sorry for what they will do to Southern this weekend (North +25)

West vs. Forestville
West are due for a wake-up I think Forestville in a close 1, but it may be West's only loss for a while (Forestville +5)

Woodville vs. Norwood
Norwood with Duke, will beat woodville easily. Jodie Barratt will have a big game though (Norwood +15)

South vs. Centrals
South is the last team that Centrals had a win against but that was with a better Centrals team then they are putting out now. South too strong at every position (South +50)

last years woodville team might of had a chance against Norwood

Woodville Boys or Girls?

With Wood, Cambell, Dougie and young Boonstopple out for the eagles, West should really get the win against Forestville...especially since it's at the Port!!!

Kersten/Sutton will be worth watching! Truslove/Hoban will too be good to watch!!!

Should be a good game but i expect the eagles will get their first loss of the year!!!

Marino not playing this weekend.

East Mavericks vs Sabres to be match of the round. West Bearcats vs Forestville Eagles comes close.

What do the Lions women need to do to win a game?

ELG - you keep referring to last years team - maybe you mean 2005 team would have beaten them -
be fair to say 2005 championship team better equipped than 2009 or 2008 group if look at win lose ratio.
suggest the reverse for west - they are big improvers and team to beat

Centrals need to score more pts than turnovers!

Just checked out the team stats between top and bottom in the women. Interesting.

FGA - only 10% more

Any other commentary from other games last night?

What a great weekend of games again
In the Women's

Eastern vs. Sturt
I thought Sturt would win the game but a 38point win was alot more than I thought, Did Sturt play great or did Eastern play poorly?

North vs. Southern
North were due and Southern isnt good enough to handle an angry Rocket outfit no surprise in the 31 point thumping

West vs. Forestville
I expected forestville in a close 1 but Westies proved too much from the outside for the Eagles, are Woosnam, Martin, Holland and Pawlowski unstopable?

Woodville vs. Norwood
Norwood are a classy side with hard work on their side, will be a tough game for the season for most of the competition. Jodie Barratt didnt have the game I hoped for however :-(

South vs. Centrals
Another long season for the Lions, a 50+ loss to the Panthers cant decide if the Panthers are for real or just getting some well timed wins?

My tips this week were 4-1, Like Erin Phillips said to her Centrals teammates "I will do better next week" and we know how that ended up

The Sturt V Norwood Match up this week is the Match of the round.

Actually both for Men and the Women!!

Better start a New Thread for this one.
