EC it doesn't matter if he is Australian or not, basketball people know who he is, it happens all over the world with talented athletes, Darius Miles, Starbury, T.O. in the NFL, CEO's and coaches get blinded by the ability (which Julius obviously has) and overlook flawed personalities which the 36ers are saying Julius has.

Yours is probably better than mine - I only care about players once they've worn Sixer blue .)
(I just invented the one eyed supporter smiley emoticon).

Of course he's pissed - everone wined and baguetted the crepe' out of his J.
I'm here all week people.

And yet Ballinger was cut from the Hawks.
Funny ol' game, basketball.

Nutwork, you are talking about Australians with a long history of success in their field and doing it in the eyes of Australians. Hodge is a relative new comer to Australian sport and really people have not had the time or exposure to him to be left with any lasting impressions. I wouldn't be comparing Hodge to these great names in Australian Sport. Go mentioning all of these names to anyone on the street, especially one year down the track and my bet is that most of them won't know who Hodge is but will be familiar with the others.

I don't think it will hurt his chances. People are often blinded by talent, that is why people that have made mistakes in the past (Symonds, Cousins, Warne, Fevola, Sonny Bill etc.) can still enjoy big fat contracts.

I'm pretty sure North won both games, the men by 1 point, with a Mike Mckay buzzer beater, 100-99. The women score was about 95-47.
