Conn will destroy Ben Allen and Titus Robinson. McDonald will have his way with Daly and Sutton/Burdon.

Bendigo will end Dandenong's dream run. Too much offensive firepower

Spectres v Bendigo. Bendigo get it.

Bendigo owe the Spectres from a few seasons ago. They want it bad. It will be a test for the mount to see if they can continue on. The Spectres surely couldnt shoot as badly as the last time they met.

Bendigo are a powerhouse always have been

Geelong supercats

Trolls!

Congrats to Andrew Filmer who is the referee on the Bendigo v Dandenong game - tip off 8pm Saturday night at Bendigo Stadium.

He is the only SA ref on grand final games.

As he was the only SA referee selected on the finals panel it's probably hard for anyone else to get a gig

Who's everyone tip for the womens?

it is a super, cat..

clearly

Nunawading v Dandenong for the All SEABL crown!

Dont think Knox would be spending much more than most other top SEABl teams.

Mt Gambier with the last second win over Nunawading!
Great win by Pioneers, great performance by Brad Hill.

Dandenong go on the road and beat Bendigo!
Rangers now back to back conference champs. Tony Lewis and Andrew Harms were massive.

Set to be a great All SEABL Final

Dandenong have to be slight favourites with the home court advantage...

Mt G will win if hill is ok to play.......dandy been on great run but think it shows east wasn't as strong as people talked about early on.

South was absolutley weaker than the East

Both conferences had 3 legit teams for the championship. The 4th-6th placed teams in each conference were a touch behind. Overall very even. In fact the SEABL clubs should all be congratulated for producing such an even league! 15 teams and anyone could beat anyone on any given night. Great league.

For all those who were critical of Geelong over the past couple of weeks - did Bendigo choke tonight? Bendigo lost 2 of their last 3 matches and just got up over Geelong in the last qtr a couple of weeks ago, and all on their home court; seems their form wasn't too great coming into finals.

Congratulations to Dandenong on winning - after watching their performance last week in Geelong, how well they played and their shots were dropping, I said that if Dandenong played at that same level they would account for Bendigo. Their shooting percentages aren't quite as high as last week, but they are a solid team and Lewis stepped up in the finals.

I dont think Bendigo choked. 2 points from the bench wont get you a GF win. Bendigo like Geelong have been leaders all season and when the crunch arrived they were both found wanting. Bendigo only lead in the first quarter of last nights game. Geelong got shut down in the last quarter easily. Big difference.

I dont support any SEABL team, but that travel call on Garlep in the final 10 secs was THE WORST call I have ever seen.

Neither Bendigo or Geelong "choked". Both teams were beaten by a better team on the day, Dandenong, who lets not forget are the reigning conference champions!

If you have watched Garlepp throughout the season you would know that he does have a habit of moving or changing pivot foot, but often doesn't get called. What is more of interest is his reaction that cost Bendigo any chance to win...

Two point from the Bendigo bench is about there season average. Hard to score if you don't play or get to shoot... Please don't blame the bench or one travel call for the loss.

Dandenong beat both 22-6 teams when it counted.

Rangers, back to back!!

Think there is a good opportunity to goto a 15 team league with top 8 finals system the same as AFL?

Interesting comments by the SEABL...

Uncomfortable as it is, some questions need to be asked of Bendigo.

Do the Braves have the right role players around their stars? Are they deep enough? Do the bench players get enough of a run? Bendigo's reserves combined for 24 minutes of playing time last night compared to 49 minutes for the Dandenong bench. Do they have the right import combination?

There are plenty of positives for the Braves no doubt about it. Ivan McFarlin is a player that any team can be built around is a fantastic culture guy. Tom Garlepp can’t be denied for his passion and is probably in the top two Australian bigs in the league. But the biggest question is why can’t this team win titles? That’s the question Ben Harvey and Bendigo fans will be left asking themselves this morning, and they might not like the answers they come up with.

With the money that has been spent aquiring this team to win it all Harvey will be wondering what it takes to get it done.
Garlepp needs to do some serious soul searching too. Who knnow what the Braves could have done if he hadn't imploded.

Well said Bear.

The focus really should be on the achievement of the winning teams rather than trying to attack the losing teams! They didn't set out to lose and a basket one way or the other in Bendigos two finals would have produced VERY different outcomes!

Great work Dandenong and Mt Gambier!!

Shoulda, woulda, coulda - the lament of losing teams in every sport.

For every fairytale win there has to be an upset loss.

I don't think Bendigo losing really rates as as an upset though since Dandenong has shown many times they were as good as any other team on their day while Bendigo has shown themselves to be vulnerable several times.

The grand final is likely to be a cracker regardless.

"I don't think Bendigo losing really rates as as an upset"
So I guess Garlepps implosion that gave the Rangers 4 shots from the line and the win doesn't rate at all.
What utter bollocks.

The Garlepp "explosion" is a different subject.

He is a hot head and has displayed this right throughout the season, this time it bit him and his team on the ar$e.

garlepp comes across as a jerk. couldnt happen to a better bloke!!

So I guess Garlepps implosion that gave the Rangers 4 shots from the line and the win doesn't rate at all.

Let's not let specualtion get in the way of someone's interpretation of what actually happened.
The Addy sums it up.
"Braves vice-captain Kevin Probert (15 points, five assists) led a Bendigo fightback with two massive three-pointers.With the crowd spurring on the home team, Bendigo charged from six points down to only one behind with 25 seconds to play.Dandenong's Daequon Montreal (16 points) halted the run with two clutch free-throws. But it gave Bendigo the ball and a glimmer of hope. Jazz Ferguson (16 points) popped a long-range attempt, but missed, and the ball came to Tom Garlepp with 11 seconds to play.

The big man needed a three to take the game to overtime, but he was instead called for a travel and the crowd exploded. Garlepp lost his cool and was ejected from the game. Montreal was gifted four shots from the charity stripe and sent the Rangers into the championship decider."
