Illawarra vs Melbourne: 6/11/16

I can only assume that out-of-bounds call on Norton was made solely to make the guy who called Wroe for a backcourt violation feel better.

Yes. Wesley is a total bum

Does anyone else think taj Wesley is shit?

Wesley thinks he is Steph Curry. Cut that Brick tosser and the coach.

He'll go back to new zealand to replace woodside who's done his achilles

Cedric Jackson will be cut, thats why he didn't play at the end of the 4th

Tai Wesley 1-10 shooting today

Dennis is in Japan.
DD looks to have lost his players confidence from what you see on TV and the comments made by those who reckon they know a bit.

I guess, to be fair on Melbourne, they do have Goulding, Blanchfield and Barlow out at the moment.
They're going to have to get rolling pretty soon if they want to salvage their season.
9 games in, with only 3 wins, they're not far away from running out of time.

Sorry make that 3-6 and possibly heading to 4-8 or 3-9 by November's end.

But, you never know, there have been seasons where 13-15 gets you into the top 4. So it'd be foolish to write them off.

United is 3-5, and 2 of their last 3 November games are vs Kings. The other is vs Cairns who is the form team of the competition right now. United may well fall to 4-7 or even 3-8.

But things are never quite as bad as they seem. Once United gets their full team back they will be formidable- despite DD.

If DD goes this week they can still go top 4.

He has no idea.

Ok- United won't finish top 4 in this very tough league this year, no chance

And how shit are his tatts

Nate Tomlinson is rubbish yet seems to be the go to man

United look woeful in offence.

How come Ced Jackson is all of a sudden so shit

Why take Andersen off after he just scored

Bevo re-signed with the Hawks to a 4 year deal in the offseason I think he'll be safe.

Re Devin Williams;

Hawks will finish bottom two. Regardless of what happens in the last

Surprise surprise, Devin Williams can actually play a bit. When left on the court for longer than, you know, 20 seconds....

There would be others I would sack before Devin

Bennie Lewis doesn't look fit

The offense tends to bog down when Wesley is on

Devin was deactivated and then reactivated.

Devin has been great

I understand why Andersen is frustrated. He's had ridiculous touchy fouls like that Kay one getting called on him all season. Hard to know where the line is.

A lot of talk about DD although if the Hawks lose to this United team at home is Bevo under pressure?

Andersen not strong enough with his ball security on the rebound

Cedric lifting

It's the Moore show! Cedric appears to have calmed down a bit too. This is better united

Haha Brenton speed suggesting a team bonding session is required. This man is pure quality!

Also saw Tomlinson kind of teaching Andersen a lesson of some sort after his foul on Kay. It didn't look too be a positive exchange. Just too much negative energy for united. They are the superteam that has gone wrong

If Melb lose this game they'll be bottom of the ladder won't they?

Would probably spell the end for DD.

Just saw DD swipe Mike Kelly's arm away. Poor leadership

And yeah the Moore/Andersen thing was just bizarre. Moore comes across as a wanker.Move on...

Not meaning to be captain obvious, but UTD has a cultural issue.

If not for two dumb techs, they'd be right in the game, despite missing half the team and playing on the road....

Things are never quite as bad as they seem. Hopefully DA is the cool head in the group who can calm everyone down

There is clear dissension amongst the ranks at MU. The little disagreement between Anderson and Moore, Ced getting T'ed up due to an outburst of frustration, Anderson and Tomlinson talking to each other over DD in the timeout and then CG having to calm the HC down telling him that Adnam travelled which caused DD to blowup and get a tech foul.

CG43 has to calm his coach down after another tech

2 seconds left in the half. Let's get a tech. Good job DD. Awesome coach.

Devin Williams has been good. And also good leadership to settle down Moore and Andersen

Why is Jackson so frustrated all the time? Bad timing for a tech foul

I think Wesley thinks he is Steph Curry.

Errr his foot was nowhere near the line

What the hell?

DD going with his all bench line-up, which basically means Wesley chucks up bricks from 3pt for 5 mins again.

There's 1 game on FTA each week. Melbourne's been in all but maybe 1 of those games.

Ummmm, every game is live on Fox dude.

Could have sworn Melbourne sacked Williams?

Has there been a game on TV yet that didn't involve Melbourne? There's 8 teams!
