Is Wayville even available to host Forestville's women's and men's finals on Saturday night? According to the calendar on the Basketball SA website, Wayville is closing on the 15th of August and reopening on the 21st of September.

I understand that with so few games played very little money changed hands.

So little that they would not be close to half the cap.

Still the same old clubs paying the money, same old clubs in the finals.

Hey ELG what's with "spider"?

Is that word of the week at Woodies?

Spider aka Chris Furness, the next great big man in Adelaide basketball. unfortunately he didn't get much of a run this year but hopefully the new coach will recognise his (obvious) talent and not let him waste at the end of the bench next to Killa

Grauco,

Immigration laws demand that players are paid weekly, rather than per game,

Killa, Spider, reminds me of some old cellmates

Should be an interesting first round of finals this weekend.

Women:
Forestville-Sturt at Wayville: Should be a good one. Battle of the big guns with plenty of talent of both sides. Eagles are 2-0 for the head to head this season, at home and in front of a sea of gold and blue should snare it, but Sturt are alway hard to beat in finals. Better get some good refs, this is going to the wire. Eagles to win in the last play of the night, if they can stop Ange.

North-South at Hillcrest: 1-1 in the head to head and both won AWAY during the season. Poor shooting and TO's cost Panthers the last time they met. Might be the end of the season for the Panthers as they face North on a roll.

Men:
Flames-Feagles at Mars: I assume both teams at full strength. My money is on the Feagles to win this one. They dominated for most of the season and they are a talented outfit. Flames are good too, but "the Eagle has landed" on Mars.

West-North at Port: This one might not so much be won by a team, but lost by the other. Just when you think one team is looking good, they have a bad. Reckon there will be a lot of noise and a lot of egg and bacon sandwiches on Saturday night. My kiss of death goes to Molitor. A good, no a fantastic, game might just seal the U23 Sixers spot - reckon there could be a spectator in the crowd watching his game...
My prediction is West to fall over the line in front of a large and very vocal home crowd.

think the flames will be too good for forestville. really pulled their pants down earlier in the season without cooper. they will be fuming after a couple of losses and usually bounce back pretty well. should be a fantastic game though, really is game of the week
