Brisbane bullets

"Wait! A venue 15 to 20 minutes out of the city centre? That won't work, just ask the 36ERS management and the experts on here. "

Depends on Access, public transport, surrounding precinct,

and what your alternatives are, and yeah what it costs

That depends on the stadium rent cost. Melbourne played at the Cage for a long time because they could make good money doing so, whereas rent at Melbourne Park meant they needed much bigger crowds just to break even.

Smaller stadiums full are better than large stadiums looking like no one is there, tickets become more valuable to when in demand.

I always thought it was bigger than that, although it only holds 4,400 in a theatre setup and capacity is obviously lower for basketball.

What's the capacity at the BCEC? Wiki only lists its theatre capacities.

Any games at Boondall this year?

"Netball Queensland is thrilled to announce the Brisbane Bullets as the new anchor tenant at the Queensland State Netball Centre in Nathan."

It's roughly 15-20mins out of Brisbane CBD, seats around 5,000 I think?

Yeah modern basketball. Pass the ball around a bit then Jack up a 3. Seems to be the norm these days.

Translation: we understand modern basketball.

".the style we want to play is less about traditional positions and more about having good players whose skill sets complement each other."

Translation: We haven't learnt anything from our mistakes and don't know shit about shit.

Sobey/Cadee
Gliddon/Slinger
Patterson/Te Rangi
Braun/Vukona/Magnay
Hodgson/Harrison

Book Magnay in for boomers qualifiers next year. He will replace one of our aging Australian based bigs I think.

I see that Te Rangi is 3rd choice @ the 3 in most of above (well, all the above). I understand behind Patterson but I don't know Braun. If he is better than Te Rangi, isn't Te Rangi a luxury and an expensive one?

I can also see Magnay as a staring PF. In the QBL. He'd have to have taken a pretty massive leap to be a starting PF in this league though. To me he's looked very ordinary in garbage minutes so far.

Oops, I mean

Sobey / Cadee / Wigness(NS) (probably not anymore)
Gliddon / Singler / SG(DP)
Patterson / Braun / Te Rangi
Magnay / Vukona / PF(DP)
Hodgson / Harrison / Dalton(DP)

Sobey / Cadee / Wigness(NS) (probably not anymore)
Gliddon / Singler / SG(DP)
Patterson / Braun / Te Rangi
Magnay / Vukona / Dalton(DP)
Import / Hodgson / Harrison

I can see Magnay starting at pf.

They don't look that good

this all hinges on whether between them sobey, Gliddon and cadee can share the ball-handling. and honestly, I don't know.

hats off to lemanis for trying something different but that 5 spot is also potentially very weak. Hodgson spends half his game in foul trouble and will magnay's still a question mark for now. they're going to get monstered by the bigger teams in the paint.

The great thing about the Sobey situation is even though he signed to be their PG at some point if it's not working Lemanis could put Gliddon on the bench (where he belongs really) move Sobey back to his natural SG spot and elevate Cadee to starting PG.

I was one who thought Patterson was gone the moment they signed Sobey but Bairstow must've been on serious money last season then.

Hate to say it but they're a legit contender now.

Bullets need another big season to secure the fans in the banana bending part of the county

Looks like the Bullets have quite a few versatile imports that can play multiple positions
