I htink you will find that Canberra are hosting Bulleen in the knock out semi!

The girls have hit form at the right end of the season and I think with the hassles at dandenong, they may just pull this one off

Yes, Sydney are out of the play offs for the first time in several years.

The only pity about the whole thing is the Fellas will be playing their first, and if they need it, their second finals game away.

Would have been great for them to have a home final for once and let the Adelaide crowd get right behind them.

Congrats to Chris & the rest of the coaches and staff, and of course to all the girls for a yet again wonderful effort to keep the Adelaide WNBL success going, never having missed a play offs yet!

if basa arnt organising a bus you could do the trip yourself.

i had to organise my own way over when a bus trip fell through for the sixers back in november

still didnt deter me from getting there myself and catching up with a few people over there and then travelling back on sunday. pity we lost.

if you want details on what i did then email me. although a bus organised is much better makes travelling around melb a bit easier

carn the fellas

Sorry, but from the Wnbl website Sydney finished 4th and Bulleen miss out!! Also if Adelaide loose the first major semi v Dandenong they play the winner of the minor semi in Adelaide.

The Preliminary Final will be hosted by the loser of the Major Semi.
The loser of the Minor Semi is eliminated.
The winner of the Preliminary Final will play the winner of the Major Semi in the Grand Final.

Ok my bad, I see now Bulleen have scraped in and Sydney miss out.

I am quite sure though the looser of Major Semi, hosts the Prelim final which in our case would be in Adelaide.

Can someone confirm?

Spot on. If we should lose to Dandenong them we would play the winner of the Caps and Boomers here in Adelaide at 4pm on Sat the 11th.

How unlucky are Sydney. Won their last 9 games. I think some teams would be pleased that the form team is out of the finals race.

STOKED. Absolutely STOKED.

Canberra is the team to watch. They have managed LJ's injury very well, played her for limited minutes for a couple of games (still outscored most other players anyway)and she will fire up now for the finals. LJ, Tully, Jenny Whittle or in fact anyone and LJ is a huge threat. I think Adelaide can do it still though!

jackson is still a danger -

will it be at wayville or dome

we could just jag a grand final here!

well done girls - good to see the bench get a run vrs AIS

it would be good to aviod canberra - but rememeber we defeated them 2 seasons ago with LJ in her WNBA stellar year - at wayville - in a big game

LJ is a danger to any side in the world... let alone the Fellas's. But Laura will certainly have a better game this time around with the increased confidence she has shown in the past few weeks.
Erin, Screeny and Tami (with Sammi coming in) line up well against them.

We have to worry about the Rangers for now as Garry will refuse to have their current form continue. They'll be fired up. He's using quotes in the Vic papers about the size of the heart of a champion team... and our inexperience.

Bulleen will should go out to the Caps. Then we think about the Caps. For now we have Hamilton, McInerny,Wilson, Richards and Randall to worry about.

Wilson, Hamilton, Richards and McInerny have always been a big threat and Emma Randall's game seems to have developed a great deal this year. Is Bibby likely to play. She hasn't played many minutes but can have a huge impact on the game. I went to the WNBL final last year and she was amazing (as was the whole team. They didn't look like losing from the first minute of the game. I bet Dee Ranford would love to beat them in the finals!!

Jess has still a lot of trouble with her back. Has only been back for 3 weeks after surgery back in October. Hasnt played much more than 7- 10 minutes in short bursts( although one of those bursts included 18 points in 10 minutes at 50% and 3/5 3 pointers)
Who can forget her 47 points back in Jan 2005 in 27 odd minutes... she is definitely a danger and someone who is a dead eye dick! Still holds the free throw record at the AIS. She has a confidence, speed and arrogance that can cut a side to pieces.

go fellas....!!!
