Hawks vs United 7th Jan
Fact:
Melbourne United is undefeated this season when they have a full roster.
(That is, 1 from 1, being the blowout win at home vs NZ).

Injured. He limped off in the 2nd qtr.

So Goulding is injured or not? Commentators said he was resting for the remainder of the game. I thought it was a strange move from DD...



Sunday January 1st- Melbourne defeat Adelaide by 31
Thursday January 5th-Adelaide defeat Hawks by 32
Saturday January 7th- Hawks defeat Melbourne by 18

It's little things like that where the NBL need to improve to be of the same standard as it's competition. Goulding off for the second half and there's been zero explanation. Similar to last night where the two late techs went unmentioned, commentary need to be mindful of keeping viewers informed.

Official word resting. Rubbishy he's sick or injured

Goulding bit starting the 2nd half

Clarke has been coming off the bench for ages. That's not news. And Harris has been playing poorly. Coming off a 30pt loss I guess something had to be done


Bevo has ditched the polo back to the suit


What 3 imports on the bench????

This is somthing that some fotty codes are doing so maybe the ABL could have a look at it, the idea is to encourage clubs to develope thier own juniors.
1. Each club has a total of 15pts
2. A junior player from your club = 0 points
3. A junior player recutied from another club to play ABL = 3 points
4. A NBL player (not from your club as a junior)= 5 points
5. An ABL player from another club = 4 points
6. players that come from interstate = 3 points
7. An over seas player = 5 points
This is only an example and would have to be looked into in more and more clubs would have to look in thier own back yards first (as we all know a salary dose not work anywhere)
