Adelaide Players Have Some Issues

As for Vukona hr has always been a sly, niggly player from what I've seen over the years.

The Anon that said Froling Sobey and Drmic would crush any of yous must be one big pansy.I'm hoping he meant all three v 1 because i would take Sobey and Drmic at same time no problem.

Once all is said and done the 36ers are still only 2 wins away from top spot. The 3 teams ahead of them are the biggest spenders in the league and Adelaide has managed to develope a team of young talented locals on a limited budget. A fit Josh Childress and a better officiating performance and they may well have won the title last year as well.

Vukona is the worst at on court BS.

DJ fouled a player who fell to the ground last game and then extended a hand and helped him up...

I think people are just looking for excuses and reasons to hate. For example, there have been posts about Sobeys tattoo's...like really, are we that shallow and pathetic?!

I like that they play with attitude and passion...so long as it is within the rules of the game. Drmic does need to tone it down a little but I can appreciate the fact that he has his team mates backs. Froling I think is being overstated.

Sometimes it is a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation...doesn't matter what course of action they take there will be a group of people who don't like it. Ohhhhh tough guy, wants to fight vs what a whimp, wouldn't even stick up for his team mate in that situation.

For the thread opener (haven't read any further yet): I have to agree with the attitude shown by the Adel players, but I also heard Joey say, during a time-out, for his players to put "frowns on your faces". Anyone else hear that?
(now I'll read the rest of the thread)
(read it through)

Seems we (nearly) all agree re the 36'ers on-court behaviour.

Just 1 note. Isaac, you surprised me with your post re:
"He [Teys] just lives by drawing charges which is supremely boring. Great work, you got in the way of someone trying to play basketball...".
Presumably, you're a player and should know that drawing charges, firstly is hard to do, and secondly, aplauded by every coach, team-mate and fan. And commentators and me!

They remind me of what the Aussie cricket team turned into, which is why so many fans turned their backs on cricket and supporting their team.

I find it interesting that whenever there is argy bargy we see Majok Deng is always front and center... would be fun to see him fighting and can imagine he'd be like Thon Maker vs Philippines.

Yeah I'm wondering who in this club will actually settle players down and be the voice of reason as leadership from players is sorely lacking

Drimic is a cancer. Ask Perry.

I think that’s a false dichotomy.

And that the earlier post about fighting is laughable and something tending to Poe’s Law!

There is a certain mentality that the players have to adopt in playing the sixers style, fast paced and aggressive. Certain players do act like tools, and some are the same off the court while some are the nicest guys you'd meet. But it's been successful, would you rather have a bunch of nice guys helping players up and saying sorry if they bump a player and have a record like cairns, or play aggressive and win.

I'll post my ID and home address with my criticisms next time. Retard

The DirtySixers are the grubbiest side of all time.The only players i wouldn't love to punch in head are Conger,Moore and Johnson.

The Thirty snitches are whiny and EMBARRASSING and prone to hothead displays, If you carry yourself with a bit of swagger and win championships fair enough, if you swagger around the joint and come fifth the joke is on you.

I am not a 36ers supporter or particularly a fan of Drmic, but Re Drmic being "only a state level player" - has it ever occurred that he (& others) only play State League to keep in shape and if I was him or any other nbl player playing state league I wouldn't play hard enough to run the risk of getting an injury and losing my NBL gig.

I am sure if you asked David Barlow, he would agree with what I am saying above. In SEABL he is barely recognisable as to the version of himself running around in the NBL.

Seriously, which gig would pay more - state league or NBL?

IMO, some of you have no idea!

Drimic in the Dandenong Rangers side was a cancer.

I agree @ Zodiac.
Teys is a great team man & can knock down the 3 ball with reasonable consistency too. He'd be a valuable asset to any roster.

Crowd fund me to punch OP in the face.

I find it interesting that they only have two nbl level players by your standards but before last night they had a 4 game winning streak... what does that say about the other teams?

As for some players being too “moody” I would much rather have players who care about basketball and want to win that badly that they take it to heart compared to some of the sleepy players running through the motions on other teams.

The only player on our roster that isn't NBL standard is Doyle. Teys has actually justified his re-signing this season and no he isn't a dirty player he's a tough player with a limited skill set that knows he's out there to play defence, take charges and commit the hard foul when necessary to stop a run on.

I agree though that the team does carry on like pork chops and I think that is in part them taking on the persona of our coach and also because we know we're limited talent wise and need everyone pumped right up to compete with the more talented teams.

I wouldn't call Teys dirty. He just lives by drawing charges which is supremely boring. Great work, you got in the way of someone trying to play basketball...

Drmic is a hothead and it's an unbecoming part of his game. Froling too.

Did you see who didn't shake Braswell's hand or are you going by the TV broadcast which showed him extend a hand, wait and then walk off? I assumed he was waiting for someone to turn around but they didn't notice - camera didn't pick up who. He didn't seem bothered enough to suggest it was unsportsmanlike.
