Jock Landale on playing with basketball-crazed Partizan

Belgrade has a long history of invasions and violent liberation struggles. Basketball and soccer are both important expressions of Serb independence and identity.

I think Landale is reacting to a more healthy expression of independence, identity and nationalism than we see in wars. If that’s how they support their ball team, just think of how they would support a threat to their independence.

Oh they are crazy! Just like in Perth.

Sounds like Partizan is my type of fanbase.

Nz: lost Wilko but still very solid on paper, will be around the mark.

Perth: lose nevill and keep roster stable, similar to Nz in that they are slightly worse but still a very good team.

Gc: obviously a lot worse with what has happened, will go from 3rd last season to 7-9 range this season.

Townsville: kept the core group together but lost schenscher. will depend on their imports how they fair, fringe top 4 IMO.

cairns: a good mix of wings/size and a great pg in Wilson. Have improved their roster!

Melbourne: probably worse, an unproven coach and unconvincing signings.

Wollongong: much the same, will depend on imports.

Sydney: a lot worse, will be down the bottom with gc/melb

Adelaide: the big improves for mine. They are deep! If they can get the final few signings right like some great outside shooters/defenders could compete for top 2.


Agree? Seems the Nbl has not improved over the off season, concerning?
