I heard Monique Bowley was the injured player, I hope she is okay, the league is a better comp with players like her

Anon,
Pretty sure it's head to head. In that case, Norwood Men are minor premiers as even if they lose next round and Eagles win, they hold the split. In the women, Norwood Women are minor premiers as well.
Mens:
Eagles are second and should remain so. Sturt are 3rd and are -3 on West, so they need to win this week and have West lose to hold third place. West are all over North, so even if North beat Eagles, West lose to Norwood and Sturt loses to have three teams on 11 wins, West would be +21 on North and +3 on Sturt, so they finish 3rd, Sturt 4th (they are +10 on North) Bottom 5 not likely to change much. With Sturt likely to beat Tigers and Norwood over West, I think the final 5 will end as it is now: Norwood (15 wins), Forestville (14), Sturt (12), West (11), North (10).
Womens:
With Norwood likely to beat West, Sturt over Tigers, the top two should end up Norwood (17), Sturt (15). West have the split on Eagles, so the Bearcats will finish 3rd (12 wins). The Eagles will finish 4th regardless of the result.
5th spot is wide open. Tigers and Panthers seem out of it, BUT, if North and Centrals drop their games, and Tigers and Panthers win, we could see four teams on 8 wins and 10 losses.
If that is the case, the Panthers are IN. They are +10 on North, +18 on Tigers, +52 on Lions. Combined head to head in a four way is Panthers (+80), Lions (+20), Rockets (-27), Tigers (-73)
For North to hold 5th: They need to win, Don't want Lions to win, Don't want South to win, Don't care with Tigers.
For Lions to take 5th: They need to win, Doesn't matter with the other teams.
For South to take 5th. They need to win, want Lions to lose, want Rockets to lose, and don't care with Tigers.
For Tigers to take 5th: They can't - no finals this season.


Another nice line for the Bogut-doubters.
Today, the Bucks got up over Charlotte without Villy, Redd, Williams and so on.
Boykins led all scorers with 30 points, but check out Bogut's statline:
27 points (12/15 FG), 11 rebounds and 6 assists. Add in 3 blocks and a single turnover in 38 minutes.
(For those who remember the HSA count of statistical influence on a game - that's 59.5. His nearest rivals in that game were Boykins and Okafor with 44.5 each.)
