Chris Goulding confirmed to Melbourne United

david andersen will n to sign with the united, he's staying in europe cause of his wife and kids

I would think a Damo and Holt backcourt would be a defensive nightmare for the opposing backcourts.

I'd love Holt at Perth, he seems to enjoy Perth Arena too!

Surely Holt will be playing in the NBL next season. His status will make him attractive to every other club.

Holt played quite well in Spain, he may have offers elsewhere?

Agree LV, your thoughts are similar to mine.

I'm hoping the 36ers are talking to Holt as their Asia/Oceania player.

eg:
- Majok- pick and rolls, cuts high to low, low post moves, second chance points

- Wesley- bread and butter is low post. Can hit the occasional 3 and mid range too.

- Andersen- Bread and butter is mid range game but is a good outside shooter and has touch near the hoop too.

All 3 are competitive on the boards at a minimum. Kickert was a liability in terms of giving up too many boards.

Jackson and Tomlinson are traditional point guards. Distributors.

Goulding, Blanchfield, Barlow, Hadzi and Odigie bring a variety of skills. Plenty of scoring, outside shooting, length on D, etc.

If Andersen signs and that ends up being the team, then my thoughts:

in terms of talent it's fairly similar to last year.

2 points of difference:

- The return of Barlow adds depth.

- The things that Andersen, Jackson and Wesley change the overall shape of the team. It'll be tougher, more competitive on the rebounds and better defensively than last year, while retaining plenty of scoring, plenty of outside shooting etc

Overall I much prefer the overall balance of the new roster. Games aren't won on paper but I do like the mix of different skill sets they've thrown together.

If a starter gets injured they could bring in an import.

So their team is

Anerson, Patton
Majok, Wesley
Blanchfield, Barlow, Odigie
Goulding, Hadziomerovic, Odigie
Jackson, Tomlinson

Not a bad team, plenty of flexibility. However will look vulnerable when a stater is injured. Hope Anderson can stay fit given his age and Jackson brings his form over from nz.

If they have the money they could still cut players to sign Holt and/or another import or 2?

Wesley will be their Asia/Oceania player.

Why only go with 1 import and not even use the asian rule on Holt?

Personally, I'd rather Holt than the selfish Goulding but hey I guess he is a fan favourite over in the strange world of the Vics

David Anderson is a done deal will be announced shortly.

I assume Holt won't be back.

And neither will Warrick, now that they've signed Wesley they'll be looking for a big man with range. (David Andersen would be nice....)

What does this now mean for Holt?

Hey guys

I'm looking to run a FNBL season on here again this year, and this time am looking to expand it into another league or maybe more.

It is a draft league, so no-one in the same league as you can have the same players, but you can trade bewteen teams.

Xztatik, Statman, Lockie, DB5, skip, Beantown, TR & Bizzy all played last season and would form League 1 if there were all playing again.

I am wondering who else would be interested. You need to be committed as there is nothing worse in Fantasy leagues than when people drop off part way through the year.

I am yet to work out how it will run exactly. Possibly looking at 2 Leagues than run seperatly, but with the evetual winners from each league playing off against each other (like the World Series).

I am open to suggestions.
