R22: Sixers v Taipans

Great size crowd, shows the price point is critical. If I decided against a season ticket it would be hard to justify to pay $25 for a game night ticket when you'd rarely go to a game confident or with the chance to see an awesome team/player. Just how the league is at the moment. $10 is a different story and being honest $10-$15 should be the going rate at this point.

Crowd tried to get them over the line but not our night.

Couldn't attend the game but good to hear crowd was up and about.

And we'll never see Clarke set foot on the Brett Maher court again.

Hopefully the club can focus on healing up from this three year crap storm now and move forward.

Agree, crosswell's minutes are pointless. doesnt do much, yet daly gets in, has a go, gets a massive rebound with no help. then the mystro takes him off and puts crosswell in. madness, but supported by Marcus camby, you betchya.

While at it, when they do their end of season wrap, and get rid of people, god i hope its the coach, the assistant coach, the MC who hosts the game.

Had to laugh at the 'high fives' going around from Dean Parkers supporters group (sponsors). Should be interesting to see whether he can live up to the expectations we had for the female ceo who had khaki pants, a coffee in hand 24/7 and syrode the walkways like she owned them.

Another disappointing home loss for the team. Bet everyone concerned just want's it to be over and restart fresh next season.

Not really much point digging to deep into Clarke at this stage, IMO. He would know his time his up and you would think would be pretty gutted by the way his Pro gig has transpired. Team obviously has competitive streaks but just cannot close out games.

Most Alarming part of the teams decline over the last several years- on court, has been the fact that the dome no longer seems to be a venue that teams fear to play in, nor is it a stronghold for the sixers to produce inspired peformances in, unfortunately. Teams just seem to stroll in with relative ease, and at times, come away with comfortable vicotries, with little fuss. First thing new coach should be doing is addressing this problem and campaigning in a way, a positive vibe for player and fans, that the dome is to be a venue more resembling of previous years. Make it the aim, not to loose a game there next season. Just simple, positive vibes. Obviously, big part of this, is the re emergence of a large and vocal crowd. Obviously performance and this ambition are inter connecting, so goes both ways.

Interesting times ahead.

IS There something wrong with the forum ?.

I can see eli1's post , and RRose's later post - and both are fully legible, but there is just some random arrangement of indecipherable symbols and letters taking up space between their two posts

- is anyone else having that trouble - is is some sort of code virus ?

I can read "Reply #408568" but thats about it ?

i shake my head so many times.
from the free throw line, we missed so many easy ones. unforgivable.

thank christ we dont need to sit thru that anymore.
the first quarter was shocking, as was the time clock v shot clock. 29.14 to go when there was 1.14 seconds to go.

and they wanna sell the joint, the comm bank. pffft

I assume we cant call a timeout because we had 3 available and i would rather drop the game on some constructed diagramed play than go down with that mess. That said the guys played hard and apart from the weird end and our FT (again) we played alright. Will i shed a tear if i dont see Marty back at the powerhouse, nope.

Last play was pathetic,Gibson bounced ball too long,assumed he wanted to finish game off on his own.

If we hit our free throws the game would have been ours. Way too many missed free throws for professional basketball.

Daly played hard all night and did some good stuff considering he had been crook all week.

Good work Petrie for talking/thanking the crowd after the game on the mic. I hope he is back next season as love watching him put it all out there.

Good to see sc hit a 3 - just dissapointed Cadee didn't pass to him for the open shot before the half and decided to drive. If sc hit 2 in a row it might have lifted the roof.

I still think keep the majority of the team just take the shackles off.

who does everyone think the team will be this year???

When Pero comes on, let's bring the roof down

Sock drawer is real messy Jack... tempting though ;)

I knew you would you olde magpie!

I do love a Parmy at the Mallala Footy Club.
