36ers v Crocodiles, Wednesday Night @ The Dome

The lack of 3PA concerns me.

It shows that we rely on driving into the key for the layup or foul/FT to score. Great teams are able to knock down a couple of 3's to get back on the scoreboard - we should put more up because we have got some great rebounders (Luke, Jacob, Balls, Messiah)

66 boards was phenomenal

Anyone catch the Fox coverage - amusing interview with Hinder. Talking about how big the Sixers are vs small Crocs outfit, something along the lines of we'll hit em and run.
And than a classic comment.
"We need to gangbang the boards".

He may be a tool, but he's entertaining us, and as they keep saying the league needs emotional, outward players!

Enjoyed this game ( and the Melbourne game) as the refs so much better than that Hawks and Dragons wrestling.
Thought Hodge got more assists this game and the melbourne game than recorded.
We had five very good players,last night. A pleasure to watch them.
Ballinger's shooting just a bit down on his normal brilliance.
Hill, Holmes and Cooper were disappointing to watch.

couldnt be at the game tonight due to my footy preseason, but very happy with what i saw. Crowd looked good on tv, of all the fox games were definately the largest and loudest crowd.

agree with all the comments above except for getting the bench guys on. they were making a solid run and really closed the gap late in the game, too risky to put in the young fellas. think were all a little to curious to see them play and see what they can offer. Im interested in seeing them too, but only once the win is in the bag.

hodge was great, was robbed of a triple double i tought as players e passed to were always getting fouled. still suprised he hasnt got that triple double yet, but he's still playing great. really wish we could have him beyond this season, but trying to enjoy watching him while i can.

after seeing hinder be hinder, he seems like a wanker to me and id bag the shit out of him if i was there. hes dopey ugly, whinges, plays dirty and he's not even that good. so god job xztztik giving him hell, im disappointed i wasnt there to do it myself but still can rest easy knowing the dickhead copped and ear full.

top win

Crowd 4208? Sounded like atleast 6208. What do you think the odds are of the 36ers paying for 3000 fans to go to Perth this weekend to make some noise so the team can feel like they are at home?

Coach to bring #4 Hoban on.Should have put something on that.
Up in the Apollo Room Holmes actually mentioned his role with Julius on.
What was with the Count given to Luke when the Molinger was rocketing in and out of the key?

Thought Hodge was best. Got two jumpers in, tonight.
Looks to be a better shot than Cooper and Holmes.
Although Cooper got ONE in.

Wasn't it more Homicide just stunk it up, didn't think Tyndale did anything extra other than point out the obvious.
Giving him plenty of room for the open J and mocking the player isnt good D/shutting him down - its just recognising the player is having an off night and being lazy.

The guys J isnt great but hell you still want to play some D on that.

Brad Davidson won't be playing - groin injury.

W by 8
Balls will load 18 to 25 ,Hill will come off bench to string 20 ,Mahersy in full run ,Jules will ignite the boards and the crowd.Coach to give #4 Hoban a run.
I'll go Boonta from the moment the Leather Hanbags come out to play.I had to hold myself together last week when Anstey got TF.I was going to throw something.Trust me I wont.
Anyone's ears hurt after last week?I think I will swap seats with my Son ,ROFL.
Good oppurtunity to bring the trumpet thingamy,crowd might be low.

skip, your post is a bit contradictory. You would contemplate putting money on Townsville but you predict the 36ers to win. I am not a gambler but I thought you only put money on what you believe might win. Either you are predicting the 36ers to win only because you support them and not really confident that they will win, or you've got money to throw away. If I was to put money on any particular team, that is the team I would predict to win.

We should bag another W.

However, things to watch:
* Luke to kill 'em in the boards - go in to the ring big fella, if they are in your way and they happen to get injured, that's their problem!
* Burdman - should be used as the pressure relief guard in place of Davo.
* Azza - think, think, think
* Hobbo - give him a run Scotty, he can't do any worse than Coops.

And... Hodge tweaked an ankle.. Ballinger..back troubles.. during the Melbourne game.
You'd think if they are fully fit that we should win this.

I reckon Sixers by 9, crowd of 3861.

We beat Melbourne without Winitana and very little of Brad Davidson, so the team is definitely capable of performing with its current roster. Brad Hill made the most of his extended minutes, I'll be looking for him to do so again.

Schescher to own the boards aswell. I'm tipping another 15+ rebound haul.
