I love Camel's riddling posts. It becomes an acquired skill over time just deciphering them.

He's posts are better than most of the dribble because he actually makes you think.

I also miss Playa's posts but for a very different reason.

Camel's post got me thinking; what of Al's coaching opportunities next year. I don't see many on the table, especially given Clarkey and Moose are locked up next year, Gold Coast will keep Joey and I doubt Melbourne will take him back.

yea would be awesome if they got isaacs team, adding 2 boomers in Gibson and Barlow and 2 nbl experienced, versatile imports in Dorsey and Young would be a great start to moving the team up the ladder imo.

I'm onboard with Isaac's team, for sure.

'You picked the team and you got it wrong.'

We were on a bad losing streak when Burston spoke to the players, prior to training one day.
We won the next game.
Should've spoken to Burston , or at least phone him him up and say goodbye, good luck.

It's not a case of purely "who is a better player". It's a question of team fit / role etc. Balls' PPG and RPG are good. Defence and leadership arguably are not.

Building a team around Ballinger, we require big bodies, at least one good distributor and solid defenders.

Otherwise, we start over and go in another direction, given the number of years attempting to build the above line up around him has failed dismally.

Would be a guttsy move from Clarke to cut Ballinger and build a new look team. Don't see it happening, but would be interesting.

Hopefully we don't recruit 5 more guards to complement the 5 we already have.

What would Brian Goorgian do? He'd find 2 quality imports some decent aussies & bring Balls off the bench (& also Holmes & NG). Ladder position in 2012 - top 3! Marty Clarke will not elevate them into the playoffs. Sad but true...

Boti's article from Monay. It explains all. There is another article on Ballinger saying he's a 36er for 2011-12 and not going to the Kings.
