NBL Free Agents list

Would anyone take a guy like Groves or Thomas over either of our current imports, say if they are willing to sign for the same price???
I personally would keep our current imports but if Hodge were to leave id definatly have a crack at Groves and or Thomas

Isn't Jacob Holmes a free Agent?

I'd say adelaide go after some young emergent, yet unknown talent. Herbert, Drew Williamson, Anthony Petrie, Brad Robbins, Janev, Kersten, Scott Cook, Dwyane Vale would all be very good but some would be supremely hard to get.

I doubt Cortez will be at South next season and he would be a perfect fit in adelaide's run and gun offence + his points rating would be low after a dissapointing season under heal.

Does anybody know first hand if Ballinger is going to be naturalised before the start of next season?

Darren NG should be kept. I was saying all season that he'd start to stand out when maher is out or retired and he is proving me right.


Also, is there any news on this alleged new points cap system?

yea fair enough about Dodman since he is a SA boy, showing potential i wouldnt mind him being given a spot in the 10 ahead of Janev or Hill, or if its a tight squeeze on the points cap id leave Cooper or Mottram out.
Would you put Dodman ahead of Janev though??? he has some good numbers for the slingers, i guess its hard to say considering Dodman hasnt had the same opportunity, and being a SA boy if its a close call id take Dodman, but if Janev is way better id take him over Dodman.
Dodman is someone id like to see around the 36ers for years to come as i think he could be a good fit for a Sapwell/Rees type role off the bench, and seems to be a croud favourite and plays hard!
If they have the points cap and its possible id love to just add Dodman to the 10 i named before as the 11th man, and have him compete at training with guys like Hill and Janev for a spot in the 10 each week.

Id like to see the 36ers retain: Ballinger, Hodge, Ng, maybe Mottram depending on who else is we can get to go along with Davidson, Maher and Cooper
Id like us to have a look at trying to get Cattalini, Rychart, Dave Thomas, Ryan Kersten, Blagoj Janev, Rod Gizzard, Shane McDonald, Cortez Groves, Brad Hill, Shannon Seebohm,
obviously if we keep our imports it rules out chasing a Rychart, Groves or a Thomas and the rest of the fuys i have mentioned are mainly young SA guys or young players who i think could be good back ups like Janev.

C Cooper/Mottram
PF Ballinger/Janev
SF Hodge/Hill
SG Maher/Ng
PG Davidson/Kersten

Development - Burdon and Dodman if we need to due to the points cap put these guys in the 10 and use Seebomn and Gerlach as the next options for 11th n 12th man spots, id also look into Blascynski atleast trial him and look at other returning players who have had good college careers to see if they are better than guys like Kersten, Hill and Janev, particularly the SA guys.

I think that would be a pretty good team, with a couple of extra young SA guys to develop also in Hill and Kersten

I wouldnt mind say Cattalini in for Mottram or Cooper if that was possible and start Ballinger in Centre.
Holmes doesnt appear on the list, so probably wont be able to get him back.
