SEABL Round 8
The Pioneers-Supercats game would have been a great game to watch with Mt Gambier flying home from 15 points down with just over 3 minutes to play to get within 3 points. Looks like they had some chances to level the scores but the Supercats held on for a close win.
They always seem to be able to do just enough at the right time to win the close ones - mostly due to experience I'd imagine.
Geelong (9-2) top of the East Conference with Bendigo (7-3) stringing 6 wins in row to keep the pressure on the Supercats. Frankston (6-4) have climbed the ladder into 3rd after a horrow start and have won 4 of last 5 games despite injuries.
Dandenong (5-5) finding different ways to lose games they should be winning. Canberra (6-6) will win fair share of games but are probably one player short to be a real finals threat.
Mt Gambier (8-4) head the South Conference but have been up & down over the last month while Hobart (6-4) have stepped up after a slow start to be second. Both these teams will probably finish 1-2 but I expect Hobart to finish top.
Kilsyth (5-5) have improved with a couple of wins in recent weeks along with NW Tassie (5-5).
Ballarat (5-7) having started the season red hot have gone mysteriously cold since Lucas Walker joined the Miners - I did wonder if his inclusion would help or hinder the team. Perhaps having Walker-Hanson-Young all on the court is not a good balance for Coach Flint.
Knox (3-8) have gone totally missing with the injury to CJ - hope he can return soon or else the season may be over for Raiders.
Both the East & South Conference Top 4 teams could change in another month so we will have to see who is more determined to play SEABL finals after queens birthday weekend.
