Looking at the run home, I think Bridgewater are also in trouble. It is going to be a very close finish.
This weeks A-Grade between Echunga & Torrens Valley is obviously very important, effectively a "20 point game", but because it is so close, the Senior & Junior colts are also critical (assuming TV win the B-Grade).
Bridgewater need to win the Senior colts against Mount Barker this week or beat Echunga in the Junior colts next week as it is hard to see them beating Mount Barker, Echunga or Uraidla in the A's
It may all come down to the Junior colts game in round 18 between Uraidla & Bridgewater as there may only be 2 points in it at that stage with Bridgewater desperate for the 3 points. Likewise the Junior colts game between Bridgewater & Echunga in Round 17 will also be do or die.
Looking at the run home, a club will probably need 150 points to survive. Bridgewater need 11 more, Echunga 34 more and Torrens Valley 39 more
Bridgewater should get the 5 points in the B-Grade against Echunga, it will likely then come down to the juniors. That is assuming Echunga or Torrens Valley pick up 30 points in the A-grade and the other 20 points. With TV getting up to 15 points in the B-grade.
