Creek to train with Essendon after finals

Reminded me a little of Crows player Taylor Walker in the way that he moved preseason training."Taylor Walker comes from Texas." I heard somebody say.

I agree with Big Ads, I think he might just like be around a professional environment instead of the NBL farce (no offence to 36ers, just offence to the NBL). And it would be nice to be valued by a team (offence to 36ers for not playing him).

Creeky is one of those athletes who could pick up a ball or racquet and be good at any sport. (except maybe hammer throw)

As we all know, basketball/football careers can have very limited windows of opportunity for some.

Perhaps there is more to this than just a football or basketball choice?

The chance to immerse himself during the NBL off season in an environment that will expose him to cutting edge personal training and sports science practices is a great opportunity for anyone with aspirations of being a personal trainer.

Im not even sure Creek is the Mitch with the most potential in the NBL.

Thinking that award might go to Mitch Norton.

didn't wanna go to college, asked marty clake to sign him, or he'd go to afl draft , and all teams wouldda wanted him..underplayed here..whether it's weigh frye teys clarke or wright...sure would be itchy with all that time on the pine

I used to like Creek.

Thought he was really down to earth and a good sportsman.

But seems like he has become extremely arrogant/big-headed as of late.

Is this a scare tactic? (In hope that the 36ers will offer him a much bigger contract + starting position).

Then again, based on game time this year, it doesn't seem as though the 36ers will be too fussed if he goes.

Just seems like a guy who isn't willing to pay his dues

Someone tell him about Abercrombie, who had to ride the pine at WSU/Breakers early on. Now the guy earns like $220k - $230k to play ball for a living. Not too bad if you ask me.

I am a first year lawyer earning about $38k.
Have to start somewhere. Creek is acting like he is a vet who is entitled to all this.

For the record, Hunt had junior AFL experience, it was Folau who had never played before, and probably a big reason why he's no longer there and Hunt is.

Just tell Creek to give their sports scientists and doctors a wide berth...

He is not a good enough natural scorer for Europe High level.

I meant a shame for the 36ers, not so much Adelaide the city.

Yeah, he's not really hiding his intentions is he. A shame for Adelaide and the NBL but what can you do? Would also be a shame to see him digging holes for 8 hours a day and not playing basketball if it came to that :)

/ live up to his potential

Dragons had a good even contribution from all their players in the game yesterday, but does it worry anyone else that horvath only playe 24mins and burston played 16mins, isnt it to much of a small ball lineup.

(Mod: I think you mean Hawks rather than Wildcats.)
