Sixers Vs Hawks - Sat 19th

Biggest crowd in over 2 years then. Sensational. Hopefully we can still get well over 5K on a Sunday too for the next one. Another double header too.

Anon - Will look into it. Cheers.

Plus, J.Frye passed ALL those to Creek who was open. Pretty good out there after several seasons in hell. While only last season we won three (3) games at home. a little bitta verbal after BJ fouled,
last season we wouldda run away.

Surprised there was not more chatter about this game. A few years ago a game like that at the start of the season would have had 120+ posts. Are we still so scarred from previous seasons we are waiting to form any judgments?

Never was a fan of Rupert Sapwell as a player but damn he was funny on commentary a few times to start the game.

Seems a better commentator than Brett Maher, even though he is pretty insightful too

Ricey, I was looking for you at half time. Southern stand, western end.

I thought something happened with Ervin's eye- turned out he chipped a tooth which cut his lip.

Is it just me or is Larry Davidson the most underrated big man in the league? He played a lone hand early on. Kevin Tiggs is a good find for the Hawks and Rotnei Clark was very classy. The 36ers found their groove after half time and it was nice that we had a number of guys making big shots down the stretch. Most impressed with Creek and Frye. We all know Ervin is very polished. Great game and very entertaining.

I had a lot of people around me I didn't see last season. It was good to see some familiar faces back.

What's the story with Larry's haircut? Every year its a new one. Did he lose a bet? Is he trying to pickup? While on the subject of "Gong players - what's a Gong team without Zac?

5800 is a good number. Well done to Adelaide!

A great game for the firs home game. Hawks were never going to be easybeats and I thought they pushed the Sixers to the very end. The Ginger Fox at his best.

#36erNation - great to see so many tweets on the screen

Crowd was fantastic - better snap up a season ticket while you can.

Creeky looked sharp, but Frye was the winner IMO. He was a sleek as a cat walking along a tin fence. When he drove to the basket, there was never any doubt he was going to score. Gibbo had a duck egg at half time, but waited for the second half to score.

Can't wait until the next home game.

Good crowd Adelaide!

Great effort on the crowd 36ers Nation! Congrats on the win.

Good to see a much more competitive performance from Wollongong as well.

it's been a fun game to watch so far... feels like an even league after last night's results

J. Frye making his debut for Adelaide,
doing it the New York way,
shaking and baking.

I think we will see Wollongong lead for some period of the game but if Adelaide win then it wouldn't surprise me but I am not expecting to have the blow out or that Adelaide will be cohesive a unit as the posters above believe.

thanks HoldenV8 for that stat... love the random shit
