Crocs sign Eddie Gill as second import

Paul did! He said it! It was him!

Not to discredit them, but why pursue any of those three over Norton or developig C. Cedar?

That looks like a very talented starting 5!

Gill
Crawford
Mims
Hinder
Schenscher

Not too sure about the bench though..Allen, Cedar, Blanchfield. There has to be concern over their ability to defend.
I suppose that with a 40 min game, as opposed to a 48 min game, you can get by without as many bench players.

So do I, so how many Melbourne point guards are at college other than he?

I dont know a lot about the college guys, but is it Dellavedova?

Another game time change courtesy of a Fox broadcast - the game against Brisbane on January 27th will start at 7pm instead of 7:40.

So, remember to note time changes for January 27th and February 3rd, both are now set for 7pm.

I believe that all season ticket holders will be notified about this.

Beantown, same guy. I think I remember recently DJ Rod saying that he was a year out of going to college/signing with a team, which is why I would imagine Cedar will get the nod. Logically, the only other course of events I could foresee would be to sign Robertson with a view to picking Norton up next year, but again I would have though he would have some college interest that would seriously jeorpardise that plan, and then we may lose C. Cedar as well in doing so.

Kr, The article lists Mims as a 3/4 player, and personally I think if you went with a lineup of:

Gill
Cedar
Crawford
Mims
Schenscher/Allen/Hinder

That particular spot could be covered. I would love to see the Crocs sign another young guy with potential (although I have no idea who) to backup the 4, and essentially have an extremely experienced starting 5 lead a young and up and coming bench

Ziah, I was thinking after I posted that I had confused Williams teams! All these FNQ clubs look the same to me LOL.

Didn't realise Blanchfield was seen more as a SF by Crocs fans. Haven't actually seen much of him.

Is that Mitch Norton you're talking about? U19 PG who twisted his ankle and missed out on the recent U19 WC's? He'd be a nice pickup for the Crocs as a development player if you can get him.

Beantown, although DJ Rod has a different idea (and he would probably know) I would imagine this:

Gill/C. Cedar (K. williams is contracted to Cairns)
Crawford/M. Cedar
Mims/Blanchfield
Hinder/??
Schenscher/Allen

The article states they are basically looking to the lower AUS leagues for their last two spots. Crocs also previously stated their backup pg spot was between Cedar, Norton and Kelvin Robertson. Norton isn't finished school I don't think, and I don't see why they would choose Robertson over the developing Cedar when they have Gill in fron of them. I'm loving the look of this team.

That article certainly talks him up a lot. If he's as good as they're suggesting, the Crocs should do well next season. The roster looks like this now I think:

Gill (I) K Williams ?
Crawford Cedar
Mims (I) ?
Hinder Blanchfield
Big Red Allen

They will definitely need Crawford to have another good season and for Gill to be a scorer, but they have a very solid front line and some firepower off the bench with Cedar.
