It's one of the main reasons Tokoto has been starting off slowly in games. Rushing the pre-game meal is giving him heartburn.

What do they do normally?

Play Alan Parson's Project or Top Gun music or something similar?

Yet another reason why Perth Arena is a joke.

They can't, because the lights at Perth Arena take too long to warm up.

Yeah, presentation of the game back in the day during PEC days was actually better. Starting five was a huge deal and if I recall even broadcast on TV so you could get a feel for the intro even at home. Just copy that formula once again FFS.

It was definitely rushed as Greg Hire only got 3 bum taps of the starting 5 and he's always good for 4 or 5.

We keep hearing how we have visited NBA and we are going to incorporate new things into our product but it's worse now than the Perth Entertainment Centre days...

I see that Perth try but it's very much old hat these days and when tickets are so expensive you want to see something that leaves you awestruck (probably leaving that to players)

Adelaide haven’t historically made a big deal out of starting lineups either. What announcement routines do you think Martin or Brandt are likely to need time for?!

The wildcats don't place much priority on the starting 5 unfortunately.

They place their effort into the team run ons.

There's a few reasons for this. One would be the time requirements to fit the Fox broadcast schedule. Another would be the requirement to have the venue lights on prior to tip off.

My understanding is, they would like to do more with the starting 5, but simply cannot.
