SA Premier League Grand Finals - August 19

Perhaps Boti is bitter with Tigers, but even if he got the gig, he would have been embarrassed and disgusted at the moronic booing when Jo got the ball.
Even Trump would have admitted to some pity and that is saying something.

boti still bitter he didn't get the tigers gig when he wanted it

Is there a link to Boti's article on GFs

The booing was ridiculous, the woman is a legend in SA and Aussie sport.

Loved seeing Westies get up.

Drmic has an ego, when things don't fall his way he looks for calls to the point of not running back on D and then lets his team down. can NOT stand him.

His attitude reminds me of Tomic.

Sounds like his performance in the NBL semis, same thing.

Drmic as the NBL rookie of the year and current rostered 36er, was very disappointing. He lacked any dominance, and really went quiet when the game was on the line. Watching that, Drmic is a similar age to Creek and i feel he will never be anything more than a role playing shooter of an NBL bench.

Anon 220 when are you going to get over your North loss?

out in two straight sets after finishing top

sour grapes all the way

Women's game was hard fought affair. Broken arm to Norths captain early in game did unbalance them. Either team were worthy winners.

Booing by Tigers spectators after game was poor sportsmanship. But Karma repaid them in men's game when they lost the unlosable game. Kudos to west coach who simply outcoached Tigers coach

Any reasonable club will do it's due diligence on character. He is going to find it more difficult. Who wants a bench warmer who can't control his actions in an important game.

Oldham (25 points) was for-the- most-part unsighted in the first three terms, but piled on 18 last-quarter points to guide his side to an unlikely triumph.

The Tigers led for much of the encounter, but strong efforts from Anthony Drmic (15 points) and Michael Nwelue (16 points, 14 rebounds) were in vain as West Adelaide exploded to break their 21-year championship hoodoo.

Drmic kick-started proceedings with a twisting jumper, but it was very much West who took control of the opening term.

Jordan West (15 points, 10 boards) hit an early triple to get his side moving. The Bearcats extended their lead to eight points, before consecutive triples from Robert Linton (12 points) had the Tigers back in the contest.

Wait till his record emerges and other clubs WERE looking at him. Hard to see him getting another gig anywhere

Doubt he really cares right about now!

Pity Harold's brain fade means he will never be recognised in official records as being in a winning game.

Two very entertaining games.
Agree with previous posts re shameful treatment from spectators to Jo Hill- I thought she must have decked 3 Tiger players early in game, but it appears to be simple bad sportsmanship.

Drmic & Thomas were both great to watch showcase their skills.
The 'cream' rose to the top in last quarter as Dee showed class and fed off the crowd support to make the MVP trophy his own.
Harold got a rousing reception when called out to join the team by Spud- could there be more?

Drmic played, did nothing in last quarter when was time to step up but looked like it was matter of Oldham getting on balls an dominating.

Anyone seen Drmic? Did he play last night?

first GF I have missed for a while - crowd looked the biggest it has been for sometime on the feed. Thank you West for the on line feed. Dicky V to commentate next year !

Looks like Southern will have to raise even more money to buy title next year.

West 77-64. Great game!

Mick, dean will be asking for more money next year!!!

West edging away now. Up 67-57.

Tigers 52-51. Really solid crowd here tonight.

Tigers 36 - Bearcats 34 at half time. Big three by the Tigers to close the half.

18-18 at QT in the men.

My first ABL game in a while. Came for Truslove-Schenscher. Stayed for the referee corsets.

Why are the ticket lines so slow?!

Has been training at Knox of late and looks to be activated to the roster shortly. Being an ex 36er, how do you guys rate him and is he legit or what? Why isnt he in nbl anymore?

When will results of that be known?!?

short a player ?
