Willie Farley

Wow, that was a pasting.

XY 100 - Opposition Nil.

Totally agree with you XY. Our roster just isn't very good. And it has exhibited many of the same tendencies this season as last. No coach would win with the roster and injuries we have had this season, let alone a rookie.

I said earlier this season that we might as well have had Farley rather than the imports we ended up with, but that was black humour. If Farley is better than either of the imports we get next season I'm gonna cry like D-Wade and LBJ.

My bad didnt read all the posts

Way to keep up special 1!!

Has Farley been applying his trade else where ??

"Are the players hacks or is it the current system they are playing in giving them no confidence?"

What "system" are you referring to. Our team has played remarkably similar despite some major roster renovations across the last three coaching regimes.

"You cannot keep throwing blame at the players IMO"

Why not. Why wouldn't you take a good hard look at those players who have been the constants in those consistently bad teams over the past 5 years?

Why is that more improbable than when all of those teams have exhibited the same problems - Can't win away, can't finish games, stagnant offences, no heart/intensity, key players going missing, defensive lapses etc?

The constants over those years have not been "the system".

I am no hater, I will continue to worship at the feet of Farley in the same way that I do Green, Pearce, Mee, Brooks, Catt, Davis, Maher and all my other heroes across the history of the franchise.

Does not mean I can't recognise the patently obvious, that Farley is past it. You didn't answer any of my questions above. What has Farley done since 2007 to suggest that he has recaptured his glory days in the prime of his mid-20s?

That 2006-7 record was with a much deeper more experienced roster than we have now, and still managed only 0.333 record. Farley was more than half of the problem. I recall because I watched every single painful fadeaway jumpshot three pointer he took (from recollection, shooting at about 27% - where is NBL stats when you need it?). How short is your memory?

8 years? Farley was last here in 2007, and was a shadow of his 2002-self then.

What about LeBron James as a Development Player Marty?

Is Farley even in Australia? Got permanent residency? Applied for citizenship? Expecting a response any time soon? Played in a top level league anywhere professionally since his 12-game stint in Argentina in 2008-9 when he got cut? What were his stats?

Farley's best days are well behind him and 2002 was a long time ago. Move on people.

he wouldnt be anyworse than we had this season, and is a crowd favourite so id support Willie Farley as an import for next year! Even see if he would play out this season and next year and spend the off season training with the 36ers guys and even play some aba, would mean there wouldnt be as many 'gelling' issues.
