Why doesn't Adelaide have a Next Star?

The crows play out of Adelaide, got nothing to do with Sydney. The rest of your dribble is a fairy tale.

My first guess when seeing "Why doesn't Adelaide hav.." show up in the right-hand side Recent Posts menu was EFTPOS.

A.....if ADL are spending close to the floor, isn't that an example of 'cheap'?

Cheap or not this team is better than this. 4 losses in a row is unacceptable. Last night's game was winnable despite any roster price imbalances.

You would think a Wildcats team with a struggling Cotton would be vulnerable in Adelaide....but no, trust the Sixers to make Dario Hunt look All NBL.

Credit to Perth nonetheless. They made the right plays at the right times. Damo with some terrific defence down the stretch.

Joey can say he is no slave to talent all he wants, but this team is really missing a Sobey.

annon you are completely off-base. There is a relationship, and Hampton DID meet with teams other than NZ, including Melbourne United (Vickermann confirmed), but Hampton and his family felt that NZ was best for his situation. Joey has spoken on the topic.

I know for a fact that Adelaide also made a play for young Victorian Josh Giddey, as did two other clubs, the same way that two clubs made a play for Tamuri Wigness as part of the next stars.

Three things are certain in life; death, taxes and good ole' Adelaide trying to extort something from someone.

Um... Didi and Armstrong are two more, right? Unless I cannot count.

The league does not pay the full whack. They pay $150k, and then teams can "top up" on top of that, outside the cap. Both Ball, Hampton and Didi are on a lot more than $150k. Not sure about Armstrong. Considering Adelaide are cheap and like to low ball everything, and then screw relationships by demanding what they are not entitled to, perhaps it is outside their operating scope?
