Big Game
Years ago
Eastern Mavs vs Forestville Eags
Well it wasn't that long ago the question was asked on hoops when people thought the eagles would lose this season, and from memory, some people thought that the mavs, with Holmes playing, would easily account for the eagles. Well this game is now upon us people. Who do people think will win this won at Mt Barker?
Both teams in very good form. The Mavs having a superb weekend beating Norwood at Mars by double digits, and thrashed the Bearcats the following day by 30!
Whilst the eagles easily accounted the Rockets outfit, easily beating the 3rd placed side by 35.
There should be some great match ups in this one. Here is how I think they will match up. Firstly I think the 2 point guards will go head to head in Hill abd Sutton. Sutton will be keen to perform well in this one to open up Phil and Steve's eyes.
Then I think Madgen and Sullivan will go at it. Very similar players. Both good shooters, but can both get to the rack.
Then Davis vs Arnold. Davis' numbers have been down a little this year, I think if Arnold, who is arguably the leagues best all round defender, matches up on Davis, Davis' form will not improve in this one.
Then the biggy...the 2 dual Wollacott medalists going at it. Dix vs Holmes. Can't wait to see how this match up un folds. Both in good form, and the best forwards in the league.
Bungey/Cambell vs Hoban/Mac-T. Think this will have a big bearing on the game, cos I think whoever can get the accendancy on the glass will have a huge chance of winning this game, so these 4 guys will become very big parts of this game and how it unfolds.
This game is too close to call, but with the home ground advantage, and the Eagles poor history at the Mount, I think that the Mavs will get up by 6-8 points, and the eagles suffering their first loss of the season.
What does everyone think?
