R6 ABL Action
Just like a 6 pm phonecall from a telemarketer selling mobile phone insurance funeral plans, it's back on this Saturday night. ABA is wide open once again with a lot of tight games this season.
Mavs-South @ Mt B
Women: How come Mavs get 3 home games in a row? Is Mt Barker stadium hosting the Adelaide Hills camelia society next few weeks? South are more compettive than what people think, so we could be looking at a close game here. Hold onto you Ruskis girls, this will go down to the wire. Once again, Team Madgen to prevail, but she can’t do it all by herself.
Men: Who would have thought South would be in the top 5 after R5? What’s more unbelieveable is that they will probably be there on Sunday too. The Mavs look like their banjo is missing a few strings so there’s no banjo playing this week.
North-West @ The Tin Shed
Women: North girls can’t seem to do much wrong at the moment whereas West are catching colds without trying. The Rockets couldn’t get another win fall into their lap could they?
Men: Mens MOTR. Are Sturt North’s bogey side, or are Sturt everyone’s bogey side? West may boom if they have got DJ suiting up (confirm?) and with a recent track record looking like Black Caviar are set to crush the Rockets and use them for fill in the carpark potholes. Probably not much mercy to be shown from either side.
Flames-Sabres @ The Internet Blackhole
Women: Around round, another win for Flamettes, pity we can’t watch it blow by blow on the web.
Men: After a shaky start, Sturt are in the top 5 and the Sith Lords stroll into MARS deathstar for a showdown with the Wookies. I think everyone will agree both teams were much stronger in Season 2011, but the Sabres v2012 are stronger than Flames v2012 and should make the encounter one all for both clubs.
Tigers-Warriors
Women: Should be a tight game as 4th host 6th. Tigeresses are unbeaten at home this season and that’s good enough for me.
Men: There’s 2 Tigers teams. One with Tanis, one without. There’s only one Woodville team and they are sitting third on the ladder. Some say their performance has been "Inzane". Being a Tiger supporter is like trying to eat soup on a train, just gotta watch the bumps and scoop as much in when you can. The Tanis Tigers have a chance against the Warriors, but Woodville might have a magic dragon up their sleeve.
Lions-Eagles at Starplex
Women: Women’s MOTR. Two definite finalists will be going full throttle. Forestville on a high after sweeping the girls side of the junior champs last weekend, Centrals love tasting blood at home. Don’t expect either bench to be cleared, so for the young players, keep your trackies on. Centrals should get this one, but in the long term Forestville and titles just go together like a kid with a runny nose and green sleeves.
Men: Luck has eluded the Lions like a school boy looking for a first kiss. The Brads have dropped the ball in the last 3 games and have plumetted like Julia in the polls to find themselves lurching around the bottom half of the table. After such a great start, is someone holding their turtle? Lions always seem to have one shocking quarter and might be kissless again this Saturday night.
