Japan v Australian Boomers Fri 29th June
Oh wow, didn't realise our game vs PH is being played at the Philippine Arena (55,000 capacity).
Will it be a sellout Carl?

You're the guy that kept claiming Philippines are better than they actually were (amongst other teams) before Australia's debut in Asian qualifiers. You still haven't learned.

Carl keep dreaming. A C-rate Australia is still far superior than any of these opponents.

I was only joking and taking the easy hanging fruit.
Moller does keep impressing. Not sure if he warrants a place in the Boomers line up as yet but is definitely improving. He has earned extra minutes in the NBL and now playing in the SEABL for Hobart he has been a go to player in the 4th quarter for a competitive outfit.

I’m suggesting he’s taller than his recorded height, and he could be a useful back up three or four.

Are you suggesting '2 dimensional photo' Craig Moller as a back up in the 3 or 4 or the actual Craig Moller?

Moller looks a lot taller than 6ft 8” in this photo.
Would’ve been good back up in the 3 or 4.


Good player, but not ready. Think it should have been someone else.

Deng too.

Yeah why not, Drimic obviously makes more sense than Johnson to replace the PF Wagstaff....


FM - I imagine Lemanis didn't want 3 centres, so one of Hodgson or Brandt was dropped for Maker. IIRC Brandt started in the January Boomers' games, ahead of Hodgson? Brandt had a better NBL season than Hodgson.
Or maybe Lemanis wanted to get Brandt for Brisbane but couldn't, so went after Hodgson instead? ;)



Off the top of my head..
A lot of talent MIA
Could be more.
Mills 6'0
Mcdowell-white 6'5
Exum 6'6
Creek 6'6
Moneke 6'6
Broekhoff 6'7
Newley 6'7
Adel 6'7
Blanchfield 6'7
Cooks 6'8
Moller 6'8
Bairstow 6'9
Simmons 6'10
Bolden 6'10
Mathiang 6'10
Baynes 6'10
Johnson 6'11
Landale 6'11
Ogilvy 6'11
Lual Acuil 7'0
Humphries 7'0
Bogut 7'0

We really could drop 2 games here.
6'4 Delly/6'1 Cadee
6'4 Goulding/6'3 Mccarron/6'2 Lisch
6'6 Gliddon/6'4 Sobey
6'10 Kickert/6'9 Kay/6'8 Wagstaff
7'1 Maker/6'10 Brandt
Got to be at least 20 guys not available.

I have a hunch Boomers will lose to Japan and phillipines in a double road trip over the next 10 days or so..

No Creek, No Newley
Japan potentially bring in Hachimura, Watanabe, Schafer and a new naturalised big man in Fazekas.
Could be a tough game.
