BSA Premier League Finals week 1

I think it's because most people would prefer to see Norwood not win anything. But there is a real good chance they could both replicate last years success. I feel that both won't play next weekend. The girls had their day off a few weeks ago and will destroy both of their opponents over the next 2 games. I think the Flame Boys have still got enough left in the tank but might have to refuel next week

You disagree with one or both?

Yes

Am I alone in thinking Norwood are title favourites in both men & women?

Whereas several weeks ago, Webber struggled early and the Tigers faithful gave it to him. Finished off the game quite decent but once the lead blew out, it killed off Norwoods chance to win.

Will be close, but expect the Tigers to win after a few nerves early on.

Expect Sturt to win through by a good number.

Typo, sorry Triple Clutch

Definitely be good seeing people out at these finals Triple Clurch, the Olympics and the Showdown probably kept some away.

West Adelaide might be a smokey for the women, it will be real hard at Norwood, but playing well at the right time of the year. Tigers might have thought they had it in the bag like everyone else and didn't come ready to play. Forestville excelled and will take some confidence into next week.

Sturt and Woodville men will be interesting. Darren Ng is no certainty, but Darnell might have him on the bench. I still think he would not be ready, but who knows. Sabres beat Warriors both times this year. DJ might have a little bit of influence in this one, but NK4 and Bridgey might have some answers.

Southern and Norwood, 3 players against 4. Depends whose lesser lights wants to shine the brightest. A Webber, I think will have the final say here, if he can get under the skin of the Tigers, (should read when he gets under their skin). Might not be too many celebrations for either Tiger team at Morphett Vale.

Going by stats only but Forestville women eliminate North in what was a bit of a surprise to me. North at a cross roads now I'd say. Can Forestville take it to the Tigers next week?

West over Tigers maybe not a huge surprise but to do so easily at M Vale was unexpected. West with a chance to make the GF if they can knock off Norwood at Mars.

Seemed as though Sturt vs Norwood men was game of the night, probably as expected. If these teams meet again you'd have to favour Sturt with DJ but Norwood get first crack at Southern next week. I actually think they can cause an upset down there as they have a significant edge in finals experience.

Woodville predictably took care of Forestville without Doyle. Mediocre season for Forestville & just not enough fire power. Kirksey would have to keep his form up to threaten Sturt next week. Will Ng play finals?

Interesting matchups ahead, people should make an effort to go see a game next week with no Olympics on!

who coached them when they played the 3 game series earlier this year?
