ABL Finals Week 3 - The Eagles/Flames Show
Anonymous,
I'd love to know the name of this promising point guard?

You're either an upset kid on the end of the bench, in which i'd be pretty disappointed in you or a clueless onlooker.
Every club has an import/sixer/ex-sixer here and there as well as players who played their juniors at other clubs. Forestville have Tucker and Mottram, Sturt have Ng, West have their import and Braithwaite, North have Pero, Bond, Mapunda and Brine. There's the 4 other finals teams without going too deeply.
I am in fact good friends with all the Juniors coming through as I played in that age group and by their own admission none are quite yet capable of playing competitive minutes. Unless you're names Daly, a first or second year out of 18's doesn't really warrant regular ABA minutes. Sturt again is the leading example and do a fantastic job of elevating the right guys into their ABA system and grooming them for success at this level.

I am a bit sad the Lady Eagles didn't make it to the GF and make it back to back to back to back. Regular readers would know my running gag this season was "Forestville and wins go together like .....". I was kinda hoping they would do four in a row and have been saving one joke for the GF.
"Forestville and titles go together like Lance Armstong and the Tour de France"
It was a lot funnier at the start of the season......

Obviously disappointing for Norwood men, didn't play well at all but I think this had a lot to do with the way Forestville played. Disruptive defensively and executed brilliantly in both transition and half court sets offensively. Doyle was absolutely outstanding, game MVP in my opinion. Will be a cracker next week!

Just a discussion at work today picking tough players from both codes to square off against each and to pick a result. Currently playing or retired. For example Grant Krueger vs the g train Fraser Gehrig think this would be an interesting match up.
