Past player treatment on opening night + Sobey v Joey

DMac and Copeland courtside at the Melbourne United game. Nice to see.

WTF? No one said anything about Sobey being at the Bullets ten years ago. Drugs are bad, mmmkay.

A fight between Joey and a player back in the Bullet$ era is laughable. So we first hear about this over a decade later. Complete BS.

So 2 fights between coach and player occurred in the same year in the same state but different sports and nether actually hit the mainstream media.

I call pure bullshit.

Stop talking out of your arse.

Oh please. The fist fight? Bullshit.

It’s the same as Jenkins and Pyke getting into a fist fight. Complete bullshit.

Give people a chance to spread wide horse shit rumors and they will post whatever they like.

The fist fight never happened.

I thought fisty cuffs only happened in porn. Fisticuffs on the other hand are very common at training, but usually between players. Not often it's a player v coach thing

Martin Cattalini also.

Sobey and Joey had a hug after the game,
after the obligatory hand shake.

I saw Kelley speaking to a group of the past players before the game, can't recall if Ali was there, but Brett, MD and Al Green were along with Ken Cole.

referring to Joey and Sobey having fisty cuffs.

Ask older Brisbane players when Joey coached there at the time who he had fisty cuffs with as well.

They may have changed venues but they have the same personnel doing the same things - notably on the mic & 'fan boy' urger & apparently organising/planning things 'behind the scenes'.

As the man said, amateur hour.

We've seen the same sort of treatment of past players/champions by the 36ERS previously - trying to cram a tribute into quarter time rather than doing it at half time when there is potential to do it properly. Silly or insulting, or both.

We were all wondering what was going on when Davis, Pearce, Mahar, and Green were all standing in the dark midcourt. No lights on them, no interviews, nothing. Thought there must have been a technical glitch.

To be honest the whole pre-game was sloppy and amateur. Thought a lot of time would have gone into making the first time at the AEC slick and professional. Will put it down to teething issues until proven otherwise.

Not very good with numbers but struggle to seek 7500 people there or whatever the final number was. Lots of empty seats from where we were.

It was a nice experience but will take a while to grow on me and all of those around us for the sounds of things.

We have had season tickets since 85, understand the need for change and progression, hope the AEC is our home like the Powerhouse and Appolo before, also hope this is a stepping stone to a new city stadium at Memorial Drive one day.

Adelaide had a good win and Sobey was average, hopefully no fisticuffs took place but these happen in clubs and in all sports. Time to move on.

There was a rumour on here during the free agency period that Sobey & Joey got into a fist fight during training last season.

Wildcats head up to Cairns for the first match up of the season between these two sides.

Dunigan travlled with the Cats but won't be suiting up as Matt Knight is back in the team. Hopefully Fearne has a chat to Taipans management and can swap Edwards for Dunigan for the rest of the season..

Cairns sitting 8th on the NBL ladder after Townsvilles win last night, but if my calculations are correct and they win tonight and 36ers lose, they will move up to 5th place on the ladder!
