Gibson officially signs with 36ers

NZ are waiting for Cedric Jackson to resign. Worst case scenario and he doesn't, they are comfortable with their Import recruiting. I personally would have been happy to have Gibson as a Breaker, the coaching staff had other plans. Jackson>Gibson

Cadee would have been a big factor in getting Peach and Gibbo.

Having been able to watch these 2 up close both on and off the court for the past 3 seasons I can confidently say the majority of Sixers supporters will have their expectations exceeded both on court and also off court with how these guys buy into the team and community they are in.

Mick, Really? Big call! Maybe they should of asked for a Big Red out Clause instead of a Coaches Clause then. Idiot!!

All Ozzy squad it's nothing to do with loyalty, it's fact no money, crap team, finished last and players still want to come here, please explain!!
Is this not the reason the owners employed Marty in the First place to have a chance at recruiting this kind of talent?
Get your head out of the sand!
The only thing missing is some wins all else is going well with the team.Now we can say if marty cant make the play off's he is gone, never happy some people.
Long term people, how many Future Boomers do you need to keep you happy?
Will you be happy when Marty leaves and two years later all these players go with him?

Gee Issac there must be a large amount of Anon posters, i see the same names all the time.
And you really think is healthy for 36ers Staff to read this rubbish? They should be concentrating on growing the club not reading and believing opinions of people who think they know but know very little, lets be honest how many times are they on the money with the information they pass on?

I think a lot of people would be very surprised to know who actually reads and occasionally posts on this site (and OZHoops)

Anon, 36ers had the worst list and the coach showed some respect to the list first year, you had the most over paid player in the league and out injured most of Clarkes time at the 36ers, that also causes recruitment issues $$$$ wise.
These last two recruits had options, do you think you were the only club with offers on the table?
Compare the list Marty took on and the list today,and take into account you are still stuggling $$$ wise.
You want win the title but Gee your future looks bright.
And the titles that you have won came at a price remember and you are still paying that price.
Get a clue mate its not rocket surgery ;)
In this team I would probably have Ballinger and Holmes back, at a lower $$$ and off the bench am i correct?

Last season , Schenscher scored freely on Simpson and Johnson , while Helliwell pestered him to frustration
and seemed the right match up. He'd be pretty handy to have back here .
We gotta bit Weighed down last season.
Nagy writes a U.S. scoring swingman might be next.

Interesting People are still sticking the knives in after the fantastic job Marty has done to get this group together.I think only one comment about the coach having anything to do with this or any recruiting at all. Are you guys really that stupid to think these kids are coming here for the lifestyle your great city or to improve as players?
Im sure there will be no comment on this as when to truth is spoken all you clowns shut up!!
All the best Marty anyone that knows coaching knows your talent.
Marty you need to put a Ban on Staff and Players Reading Hoops Forum it is full of negative crap and lies.
Wanker Filter Request again Issac!
And People i know Marty Does not read this but some Staff Do, Hoops is not the voice of the 36ers supporters 36ers staff and the sooner you realise there is only about 20 people that blog on here that matter you will move forward.
Over and Out.

As soon as the new Melbourne Team comes along (which should be next season) Adelaide will be saying goodbye to Gibbo.

A big signing, one of best Aussie signings of the last decade for Adelaide. I'm hoping they start Cadee/Gibson/Weigh/Johnson/Schenscher. Some defensive worries there but they will be a nightmare to guard, especially if they are hitting from range. If they do get burned it's easily fixed by changing to Gibson/Creek/Weigh/Petrie/Schenscher. Also gives us a good, dependable bench with some reliable veterans (Crosswell,Petrie) and an athlete to change things up (Creek). Will still be hard to knock off Perth or NZ but this team must finish in the top 4. Marty's going "all in" with Aussies- let's hope it works.

Best news for 6ers fans in a long time...

Good work Adelaide Blaze!

^ Just better to ignore the trolls. they want to hijack the thread to be about them. best to ignore

I hope that its not a violation of internet rule 14 if I just correct the troll's somewhat challenged spelling and grammar skills.

Corrected ( up to Grade 5 primary level English ) quote


Ha ha ha you blokes are funny! Title contenders! Ha ha ha, what a joke ! Ha ha.

You still only have DJ, Petrie and Gibbo, as players who can actually do something with the ball!

Breakers v 36'ers epic?

What are you on mate?

I wouldn't (note almost correct apostrophe use - at least s/he tried) mind Cairns and Perth going under the radar this year!

Why is perth always the favourite?


Hope this helps

I know this Adelaide Blaze "thing" is gonna stick around with us all season, and i think it's stupid as this is what happens when a team folds, someone has to swoop up some of the players, it may as well be us ;-)

Great News And Great Signing!!!

Well you would hope it's goodbye Wooden spoon, any bloke in the crowd could coach that team off the bottom of the ladder!
My guess is Gibbo just wanted a job somewhere and NZ is too far and Adelaide is reasonably close to Melbourne.
Unless we win a Championship i'm going to say goodbye Adam next season!

great news for the Sixers. hopefully goodbye wooden spoon, hello playoffs

as a non 36'ers fan. im happy for all the adelaide fans. my best mate and collegue here in brissie is from Adelaide and coaches jnr teams here and he cant stop telling me how excited he is. I think Adelaide can push Perth and NZ, however i still have Perth in particular in front. Where are the 36'ers playing this year. did i hear their arena has been repossesed

I might be shot down by some, but it's a shame Helliwell retired. Would have been an ideal back up big in this team.

Impressive signing.

36ers very strong this year.

Breakers v 36ers will be an epic game to see.

IMO, those 2 are the frontrunners of the comp

Fantastic news!

Fantastic news! We should have a very strong side this season. I'm really impressed with the club pouncing on Gibson & Petrie so quickly. Best offseason in a very long time.
