Update from Geelong

Lil Keane and Narelle Lindsay both were selected on to the All star 5. Fantastic effort girls

Not knowing the stats I thought Cameron was Bendigo's best player I also think the Redhage missed more than six shots he struggled early on.

It was a great weekend at Geelong and finishing off with a fantastic Mens Grand final it was a privilege to be there.

My picks for games of the weekend(all men and in order): SF Bendigo vs Sandringham, QF Geelong vs Sydney and GF Bendigo vs Sydney.

2006 ABA National Finals will be in NSW next year likley in Newcastle.

Sandringham got a pretty good side, and from what I heard won the Big V pretty easily in the end.

Marcus Timmons stepping up when needed - Any update on scorers from Geelong?

BTW Timmons currently training with the Tigers, in the Big V team heading up to compete at the Blitz.

Not sure where he is at in terms of getting naturlaised, but he would be a pretty handy addition if he does get naturalised!! For any team.

re: Woodville Vs Sandringham (#46628)
