Game Times should be announced later today, but I am sure games will be: -

Men
Qualifying Final
Sturt v Woodville @ Pasadena
Elimination Final
Eastern v West @ Mt Barker

Forestville to play winner of Sturt v Woodville at Wayville and loser of Sturt v Woodville to host winner of Eastern v West in second week.

Women
Qualifying Final
South v Forestville @ Marion
Elimination Final
Sturt v Eastern @ Pasadena

North to play winner of South v Forestville at Hillcrest and loser of South v Forestville to host winner of Sturt v Eastern in second week.

I'm thinking Eastern will come up trumps in the Mens. Should be a good close game!!

With Truslove back, I don't think so.

I don't think Blake can play, hasn't qualified.

If I'm wrong, I agree he will make a huge difference. Bungy and Trebilcock dominated the paint on Friday. Warhurst etc drove off the pump-fake without any challenge.

So let's say Woodville and West win. It's Woodville v Forestville and West v Sturt, right? And the loser out of W v F plays the winner out of W v S, right? The winner out of W v F also gets the week off, right?

Truslove has only played 6 games (according to Hoops SA stats) and I am pretty sure that you need to play 40% of the games to qualify. 40% of 18 is 7.2 which means Blake needed to play 2 more.

From a reliable source......

6 games to qualify.

dude isnt playing, he had surgery last week.

To be eligible for ABL finals you must play 40% of games which translate to 7.2 games which is rounded up to 8 games. Permission to play finals because of medical grounds, application must be in to ABA 14 days prior to the first finals being played.

Blake had surgury on his foot. He had stress fractures. Would be nice to have the big fella but highly unlikely.

The west boys were terrible on Friday I know they have a lot more in the tank than that. I would expect Benny the Hurricane to shut down Davis. If bell and Crusher can hold their own against 3 dik and bungey they will be a big chance

maybe - just maybe woodville can avenge last years loss in an absoloute boilover

like sturts game but RIP with no Oscar

west and eastern will give all but will be ko'd

forestville 1 hand on the cup

Eastern were white hot from the field last Friday, 10-15% better than West, if that closes up expect the margin to as well.

Mavericks have to be favourites, the winner of this one you would think would get past an oscar-less Sturt?

I hear that Green train warming up again ppl. Whoo Whoo!!! Come on Warriors.
Woodville players always try to win for vera!!its something that never leaves us

the vera thing was last year

it's a new breed this year - not too many names - just form players

sturt will bow out in straight sets - I have seen a few of their games lately - they need to find someting quick to have any show

I believe the onomatopoeia for a train is 'Choo choo', Take Luck. But whatever! Good post, I guess!

yeah but what time and day do teams play?
