Agree, feagles to win the womens and the flames men to go home with helga, the swedish backpackers' even more attractive cousin.

Looking forward to Womens game should be a cracker. Hard to predict a winner expect the Flames to come out hard. Norwood would not want to lose this game given their stellar form all year. This would be a monumental CHOKE if they were to lose. Game on....

I wouldn't call it a choke. They were beaten by a North team who shot the lights out from 3 point range. With that said Brenton didn't change the gameplan to counter it. Then they don't match up well with Forestville and it has been evident over the last 4 years.

I also think the winner of this match will also win the title. I don't think North will be able to shot as well as they have the last 2 weeks after having a week off.

Flames in the men!

Yeah flames in the men, norwood sholuld have the confidence edge here and their experience should help pull them over the line.

It's about time Norwood invested in there juniors and not around the other way . Stop trying to buy a trophy on the women's side .
This hasn't achieved any thing yet , the previous ABL coaches had a policy of playing juniors that had grown up with club with perhaps 1 import .

Both programs have played finals and the later has been at the expense of juniors moving clubs.So the question for the club is which program is better ?

Wow, great job Norwood women!!!

apple eaters dont prosper yeah!

Who cares they beat apple eaters

What a great Womens match. Both teams should be proud as neither really deserved to lose.

Well , let's just hope that the Norwood girls start well in the G/F or otherwise BJ will go silent and sit down. How's this let's use Foley as a decoy and by the time North wake up the game is over at Q/T

In the immortal words from the movie classic Good Will Hunting:

'How do you like them Apples'

The mens was a great game too, just a bit one-sided!

Yes eagles played awesome defense flames couldn't sink their shots. Not their usual game their starters looked tired except Matthews & off the bench Giovine & Dan webber put in some good minutes. Not enough though to bring home the win. For a change the refs were not too bad.

yup norwood men couldnt hit a boat if they fell out of water and played probably the worst ive seen them play this season. The eagles were outstanding and deserved this win and i wouldnt be surprised if we see them skin the sabrs next week.

North lucky to get over Norwood last week and cant see the Norwood dream team dropping two in a row to North

As for Norwood men it is about time they wake and provide a true pathway for their juniors rather than keep bringing in other players. Best two players in the recent past were Moultrie (import) and Lycett (North. Nothing really coming through for them at the moment though I wouldn't be surprised to see them go out on a recruiting drive from other clubs, promising them the world, guaranteed minutes etc further turning their back on the junior program

Perhaps these juniors should wake up and see what opportunities are out there away from the Flames

every sturt mens aba player is a sturt junior and has played for only sturt, with the exception of Ng (woodville). They are the exception to the rule.

Certain members of the Norwood committee need to look at their role in the state of the mens program. One current and one past committee member are only there for the benefit of the kids! Brad is a great coach but his just like Rupert and wouldn't have an idea of the juniors coming through! Missed a massive opportunity to develop a promising point guard while Todd Matthew was around !! Maybe they should look after there own who inturn would develope their own!!

Hamish burns moved clubs quite some time ago!

Yeah so not a true sturt junior, however he acts like one now

Almost 2 full years or 4 seasons actually. His development in that time has been remarkable. At his old club the senior coach wouldn't even know he existed.

Umm why are we discussing Juniors getting playing time for ABA? all due respect a kid under 18 Dv1 should be happy to get a run in Youth league lulz U23 @ Dv1-2 off the bench before they get a chance at ABA. Is fast tracking a player beneficial maybe only to the parents?? not the club not the ABA team not the kids. Progression and age groups are there for a reason if he stands out in youth league he will get looked at.

Pretty sure Norwood is made up of all Norwood juniors except moultrie and Lycett? So then why should forestville have tucker, mottram, Sullivan etc. what's the difference??

yeah I dont see the relevance of mentioning juniors in here.

Sturt have
Ng (woodville)
Burns (F/Ville)
Donaldson (norwood)
