Forestville Men a shoe-in
If Sturt or Woodville make the grand final and the Perth games are on the 13th 14th & 15th, there is no reason why Oscar or Reesy can't play the ABL grand final and just miss the 1st game in Perth. They can fly out on the 14th and still have 2 games they can participate in. As it is its not likely that all the Sixers will play all 3 games and especially not major minutes in all 3 so why not give these 2 players the 1st game off. It will satisfy both the ABL and they will still meet their Sixers' commitments. Also gaining a caring reputation won't do them too much harm either.

For 2 years running there's been nothing in the preseason for Adelaide fans to enjoy. Now they even stuff up the ABL by taking away players that have played all season to bring their team to the finals. That is very unfair for the teams involved. A lot of people have put it so much blood, sweat and tears into getting this far. As far as I'm concerned, the Sixers should be told NO its not on. The finals have been scheduled long enough for other plans to be worked around them.

I agree, its a meaningless pre season match for the Sixers compared to the climax of a great season for the ABL grand finalists. ABL has to be taken more seriously and given the respect it deserves, after all, its only 1 level below the NBL and where many future NBL players will come from. Besides that, I am bitter about the fact that so much pre season activity in the NBL is happening everywhere else in Australia and overseas but not in Adelaide. If they can't bring any of these activities here, let us atleast enjoy the end of the ABL season with all its players participating in the final.
