Premier league finals
I'm sure Tigers will be live streaming their game as well as they have all season.
Starling played last week & scored 28. I'd say he's fine!

Isn't Starling still out indefinitely with a knee injury?
I was told last week the prognosis was that he'd be out all of finals.

West Adelaide vs Sturt live stream on Saturday night starts 7:40pm on West's facebook page.

Not sure Tigers can beat North with Starling. I think they have only beaten them without him.
The loss of Jones might hurt them more than people think..,


Starling should be coach of the year, everywhere he goes they win a title. Doesn't seem to matter who's on the sideline.

One thing to say a team should go well, another thing to actually get them to win. Sometimes it's not that easy. I was surprised he didn't get it last year, but Rigoni did do a great job.
This year it's a really open race. Southern have done well with a revamped roster to finish second. Norwood have dealt with injuries. I think I sit on the other side with West. They've added possibly the best import in the league (or top 3-4 at least) and have only moved from 6th to 4th.
In the end it probably will go to Nathan Hawkes again.

Brooks and Hawkes are definitely in the conversation, as is possibly Al Green (I certainly didn't pick them to finish 2 wins off a finals berth).
My COTY would be McLean. He was definitely aided by finding a gem in Oldham and guys coming back from college, but I really appreciate how he coaches. I don't think they could have done too much better with the group he has.

Sorry, DeCorey was All-Star 5 in 2015, not MVP - not sure how I came up with that.

Should have been? It hasn't been announced yet but I suspect Tigers head coach would be down the list this year. Possibly Brooks, Hawkes or McLean for COTY.

What I will say about Southern is an NBL side could do much worse than having a guy like Linton on their bench.

Didn't Jones come off the bench mostly for Tigers anyway?
Sounds like he's gone anyway, does this mean Tigers are no longer title contenders?

When was Jones MVP?

Correct, James Woite predicted they would finish 7th. Conversely, Boti tipped them to finish 3rd.
Then Southern recruited 7'1 former NBL and NBA player Luke Schencher and former league MVP DeCorey Jones.
Nobody was predicting 7th then.

Settle down JamesJohn, or is it really Dean. It was just a preseason guide and losing probably the two best players in comp justified that selection.
