Pre-Season: 36ers vs Melbourne
Not an easy job with a small, quiet crowd.
( Aw, I got a bit excited when Aaron Bruce was calling me to come on down!.... But... it was to his girlfriend, sitting near me.)

We laughed, so relaxed.
Sturt won the kids over. Winitana won me.

About a thousand there, I think?
Those around me got a bit excited about Sturt's rejections. Three in a row early, including one on big Luke. ( Winitana best on court, by a long way)
$10 for me and $5 for the kids.

Thanks for the news about tonights game guys. Great to hear Winitana played so well. Will he be our new Rupert?
Why didn't Bruce suit up?

Winitana was most impressive tonight. Must say it, but Hill was very impressive as well considering my expectations. I thought Kersten carried the ball well but his size just goes against him as he can't make a layup without his shot being blocked. Hope he won't attempt too many of those in future. Overall, I still don't like our chances against the Tigers come regular season. We were missing some key players, but they were missing more than we were. Add Anstey, Barlow and MacKinnon to the group on the floor tonight and it gets pretty intimidating. One thing that I thought was in our favour was the fact that the starters did not see a lot of court time. Come crunch time, they will be relied upon more.
