Personally I think it has all been blown way out of proportion. If nobody got suspended from all of this I wouldn't be disappointed or shocked.
The NBL should look at this as a way of grabbing some bonus cash for a kick-arse end of season party.

"The way I see it, there was no need for Tat to put his hand on Wright."
Wright reached towards a Wildcats player. May not have meant harm, but Tatalovich's action is understandable. Wright punching him, on the other hand...

You're right, Situation: I mixed up Gleeson with his assistant. I'll pay that one.

Koberulz, we're getting pretty bogged down in semantics at the moment - I see the same incident a different way. Best we don't do our best 36ers-Wildcats impression and leave it there.

"Koberulz, I saw the brodcast on Ten this arvo and the YouTube video: it happened."
It didn't. Joey reached out towards a Wildcats DP, Tatalovich placed his hand on Joey's arm to prevent contact, Joey punched Tatalovich. There was no shove.

"but we are quick to excuse Gleeson's, I see."
WTF did Gleeson do?

I certainly didn't excuse Joey's actions... but we are quick to excuse Gleeson's, I see.

AFWIW there have been plenty of "retarded comments" from Perth fans too.

"Joey didn't come out swinging, he was provoked when the Wildcats coaching staff that found it necessary to shove him when the dust had settled - funny how this has been rarely been mentioned."
It rarely gets mentioned because once you watch the actual broadcast instead of Hendo's horrendous-quality YouTube video, it becomes pretty clear that it never happened.

Enough with the double-standards: professionals sometimes act unprofessionally. This shouldn't be news to anyone, as they are only human after all. Many of us would've acted the same in Joey's situation.

Players and/or coaches will be sanctioned. Move on with your lives, people.

@proud - I dare say having both teams around for the award ceremony wouldn't have been the brightest idea unless the 36ers wanted Wrestlemania to make an encore appearance lol

Dont know how it goes in Aussie.

But in NZ if two guys fight and consent to it fair game to them. When i said crush i meant give them a good hit or two. I dont mean GBH.

Thats how it goes in NZ anyway

It was funny we went from all the love of Valentine's Day to St. Valentina's Day Massacre and 10000 (only about 1500 left by that point) were screaming for blood.

That was a fun night.

Does anyone else think the greatest issue here was that Adelaide didn't even have the respect to stay around for the trophy presentation of the Cattalini Cup/Rogers medal.

I can't remember any sport where the losing opponent hasn't stuck around for the the trophy presentation and it feels like they shat on the concept and the prestige of the Cattalini Cup.

Should they be fined for that?

Last night's incident showed the difference in maturity between the teams.

Martin and senior Wildcats players did well to restrain Ennis etc.

Yet you look at the 36ers who had their old man head coach running around like George Forman and a young Creek inciting it.

BJ is no saint (believe me I have seen him crush peeps in town) yet he had the brains to hold the coach back (which he should never have to do anyway). Where was Gibson, Petrie etc?

I know looks aren't everything but check out the form on some of these NBA and ex-NBA players' wives/girlfriends.

In terms of guys who if they weren't NBA players are punching well abover their weight I'm going:

Bronze - sarunus jaske....vicus

Silver - Mehmet Okur (former miss turkey, not a great foto but i've seen fotos of her before)

GOLD - Rony Seikaly - (just have a geez!!!)
