Rangers Appoint New CEO

They all should be sold Asap.
Align the dam teams with the Nbl and play the women before the men's games.

WNBL franchise has been sold, so not Dandenong involvement, shame really as it was the last club based pathway for girls, but hopefully now a more professional and proactive organisation.
Though do worry about Dandenong as a whole, only got to look at Bulleen , they gave up their WNBL hold and have disappeared into the abyss lol

... or men's sport.

Mark Wright is like a cat with nine lives.

The Dandenong rangers board now have no say in the Gerry jayco wnbl team, which should be a good thing, hopefully , DBA board struggle running domestic comps.lol

Current DBA board have done a deal with Jayco. Gerry Ryan has taken over the team and put in his people to run it. Only issue for the board is that they have not cleared this with their members. All done in secret.

If Mark Wright ends up back at Dandenong, that just highlights the culture of the Rangers or whatever they want to call themselves. Wright was run out of the Rangers in his last stint because of his poor relationships with players. If it is true Wright is the NEW GM of the WNBL team and Anstey is part of the New WNBL Coaching line up its questionable what due diligence has been done including current background checks on both appointments. Clearly ethical standards aren’t considered if this is true.

Pretty sure Marcus Wright won’t be an assistant or involved in a team with his old man like last time Wright was involved in the WNBL.

Anstey? What a joke if so.

Lavey has looked a different player since being with the opals under brondello.
Most players have. Could it be they are now fighting for a spot in Tokyo?


Coaches atm

Molloy-Melbourne
York-Bendigo-new
Lucas-Adelaide
Stewart-Perth
Goriss-Canberra
Hibbert-Sydney-new
Brassard-Townsville
Chambers-Dandenong?


Should be the end of Molloy already and I think chambers, brassard and Stewart are on the chopping block if they dont at least make finals.

I hope Graeme Allen is never seen in the sport of basketball ever again. He did nothing at BA and obviously has run the Rangers into the ground.

South East Melbourne. Chambers coach (poor choice) Anstey assistant, there to promote his daughter.

New name of the team is what?

RIP the last association based club retaining its original name in the WNBL/NBL. Crazy how it took until 2019 to happen!

Will the Rangers have a new major sponsor?
I guess it won’t matter too much about who the coach is as splashing more cash on better talent will win you more games!

I think you’ll find the Rangers started to decline when other teams increased their budget and got better talent. Eg..Boomers and Capitals.

How come Graeme Allen left? Was he ran out of the Rangers like he was ran out of BA?

Does 'Splinta' stand for anything. Division, perhaps. Some agendas here, my guess.

who is the major sponsor, if they have appointed Mark Wright as GM

Does 'Splinta' stand for anything. Division, perhaps. Some agendas here, my guess.

Time to just handover the wnbl to kestleman and co.

Time for Board to go. Resignations have destabilised the Board.

Anderson coached her team to the Grand Final in her first year in WNBL. from then on she was undermined by politics in the club. Major sponsor wants to take over.

Clubs certainly has needed a clean out for several years, but sorry Anderson was not a loss, a good SEABL coach because they had a team much like Spectres men who just played well together, but as WNBL material, no.

Agree the club needs a massive clean out. Losing Larissa Anderson was a massive loss.
Smells really fishy and seems like more things to come yet.

Methinks you have an agenda.

Apparently the existing CEO was terminated for misconduct whatever that means.

Sources saying the Rangers WNBL will be re named, re homed and not exclusively run out of the Dandenong Association or stadium. Maybe this is why Larissa Anderson resigned or was pushed out?

If I recall, the club have also been before the courts recently for inappropriate conduct and a staff member harassing and intimidating a volunteer.

Cleary issues with the Management and Governance of the Club.

Too many politics in that club, needs a good clean out

The sooner the wnbl is shafted the better.
Kestleman needs to buy it, align the same teams with the men's nbl and play the women's games before the men's just like in the nbl1.

They need to get rid of the board not the CEO, Dandenong was once a powerhouse, but it’s been on a downwards spiral for several years

Breakers starting with Pledger, Boucher, Corletto, Bruton and Jackson and have nudged ahead 13-6 in the 1st Taipans already with 5 team fouls to NZ's 1.
