BJ Anthony out for the season

So if we cant beat melbourne without a replacement the ceo will be satisfied to play a weakened side for the rest of the season probably losing ticket sales and not providing members that for which they have already paid.


Is that correct?

the pay dispute and all , i seem to recall , hodge here for six weeks , nbl player of the month

The MELvADL game is a must win for the Sixers.

36'ers player profiles....

"Peter Crawford is an NBL veteran and quality outside shooter. Crawford started his career in Townsville before transfering to Perth and then back to Townsville before ending up in Adelaide this season.
A smart 193cm (6' 4") guard can take it to the rack and doesn't need much time to knock down the 3."

Wilson "One of the most exciting players to come to Australia in recent years.
He has electrifying skills that entertain the crowd with dribbling, passing or scoring he has the complete game.
After finishing college at Albany, Jamar played professionally in Belgium and Finland before coming to Australia where he has played three seasons with the Cairns Taipans."

PC's description is as suggested accurate from about 2012 and he is still useful in short bursts. I dont think he is up to serious minutes in a competitive finals side. He is at 34 probably good value for money though.

Wilson's profile needs to be rewritten and he is in his 30's now.

Crawford hasn't played well since 2012. I've no idea why ADL picked him up. I'm guessing he was on the cheap.

I'm certainly not a 36ers fan by any stretch but I have absolutely loved what BJ has given us viewers this year... Easily the most underrated player at 36ers... About as underrated as Creek is overrated!

I wish we could take BJ's will, toughness and fight and insert it around other players in the league... They'd be twice as good!

Loughton, Weigh, Steindl, Caddee, Barlow I'm looking T you in particular but I think we all can play this game!

Get well soon BJ and I look forward to you banging inside the key again soon

Mahersy called it during the telecast with his recollection of Mitch Creek's injury.

I wish BJ the best with his recovery and hope he can make it back onto the hardwood. I feared the worst when he went down. I'm guessing he's in good company with Mitch being able to provide personal insight into the recovery process (and showing that one can recover from such an injury).

I'm assuming Dave Gruber loyalties still bind him to Wollongong, but surely the Hawks would/should encourage him to seek whatever opportunities might be available.

The big question is will the Sixers go for another player at this point; I suspect they won't.

All the best BJ.

What if we cut Crawford. He played some good minutes sunday but hasn't really performed well enough this season. I dont think he's earned a spot next season.

If we could fit in a solid import and keep wilson for controlled minutes off the bench that would be a huge plus.

Needless to say Wilson might need to find greener pastures next season.

If that doesnt work then I agree totally with you cut Wilson!!!

Would someone please post our current distribution of

points and Sixers financial capability.

Is a miracle from management possible?

BJ is hard to replace he is tough and strong.

Given our position five wins out of fourth place we would need to to better than just replace him. Do the sixers have the funds to get creative here or is it season done?

Maybe we could drop someone else as well.

Something really creative might fill some more seats and add a few dollars to the mix.

The guy can play and has tons of heart, what's not to like?
Sad news on his injury but it happens unfortunately, hopefully he can rehab it right and get back on the court asap.

50k a month for an import would fit

He had a very good game and throughout the season had improved. I would think that Richie would be the injury fill in as he has been around the club, although, could one the DP's be used?

Doubt if DQ would get the nod to return

What little chance ADL had of making the playoffs is now gone. Probably the most under-rated player on your team.

Thought it at the time, just saw him go down by himself and thats generally a good indication of the injury. I doubt they replace him, i know we are still an outside chance at finals but is it worth the cash? Sad for BJ.
