Round 13 ABL - Any suprises?

Round 13 matches seem to be pretty clear cut IMO, but what shenanigans on (and off) court will we see this week?

Mavs-Flames @ Chilly Billy Stadium
Expect Flames to take both the mens and womens, unless the Heysen tunnel is closed and the Norwood bus has to go up devil's elbow and eagle on the hill and they get lost. Anyone remember that road?

Tigers-Warriors @ Siberia South
It's a long drive home from Morphett Vale after a loss, stop off a Maccas on the way. Tigers Men need a win to keep in touch with North and reckon they will be out of the 5 on %.

Sabres-Lions @ Pasadena
Hard to see the Lionesses breaking the drought, but will happen soon. Lions men could pull off an upset with some sturt players off, then again Brett Maher's framed U12 uniform might still fit him.

Bearcats-Panthers @ "The Wool Store"
Reckon Sam's girls will still be undefeated at the end of the round and the men's could be the only upset, but the home team know where the floor bounces true so should break a loosing streak.

Feagles-Rockets @ Wayville
Forestville to have both games tied up by half time. Can anyone confirm the rumour going around that the men's team will drop the "Eagles" and be renamed the "Brads" for next season?

Interesting considering Maher didn't play for Sturt in Under 12s.

What happened in the South-West game? Were West at full strength?

Ditto with the North-Forestville?

North Forestville were all at full strength.
Great games from Jess Mahoney, Jo Hill, Tania Dhu and Jess Fergus

Well, North did very well. I was expecting the Feagles to have the W in their book.

Reckon the top 5 men are fixed, albiet final positions TBA. North now need 2/5 to seal the deal definitely. Their run:

Mavs away (W)
Flames home (50/50)
Tigers away (should W, but upset?)
Panthers away (upset?) - the won by 2 at home.
Lions home (should W)

Tigers are 2 games behind North and need 5/5 IMO to enter the 5: Sturt, South, North, "The Brads", West. No finals this season.

Lions need 5/5 and some % boost. West, Mavs, South, Flames, North. No finals this season.

South Have always been contenders!!!

Truslove is the Post player who has dominated this season.

Pity she didnt hit the court for the Lightning, who knows what she could have contributed??

Truslove has come along in leaps and bounds this year, but she has also become a protected species.

50-50 calls have become 75-25's.

Will be good for the Panthers to give the finals a shake. I believe they need to bump off Nwd nxt weekend to get there?

That game should be a bottler. Could be the game of the round, and that includes the Mens, just having a look at the draw.


Although Sturt vs Southern men could be a great one.

Great game by cam Wilson for Woody last night...42 points, 7 assist, 8 rebounds, index 52.
Surely, his best game for the club? haven't seen him hit the 40 mark too many times in his career although I could be wrong...

No missed the sturt game. But with Josh Wood in form and at home I thought they may do better??

They were tough till the incident in the fourth v Norwood.

Do you think they will get smashed?

Southern women struggled to put Woodville away which suggests they have a future as bright as a spent light bulb considering they played in their lair.

Perhaps Woodville spent a lot of time in a zone defence which many teams struggle to score against?

They were out of the game before half time pink panther. But hopefully, they can play like they did against Norwood and prove me wrong.

I thought the tiges had Norwood.
Even the import was firing. 3 or 4 scores in a row, cfrowd was goin off.

Like old times.

Not overly surprised after the first quater bitching on saturday night between centrals players. Centrals would have won that game if all the crap in the first quater didnt make them loose focus.

#242418, sounds like a repeat of last year's grand final except a different team playing the same trick on Forestville.

Detroit, who was the bitching between? I'm assuming Prince was one of the one's involved?

Re: Lions bitching - disappointing to hear. I would have thought that with several senior guys on the team that type of stuff would be avoided.

Losing can take its toll on the mental strength of a team, but internal bitching can never be tolerated. I guess this is why Prince has been released.
