Perth v Adelaide

“There is a way to say Perth is a successful and well run club without sounding like an idiot, you're just no good at it.”

There is way to take a loss on the chin without sounding like a petty sore loser, thought you’d be much better at it by now.

In 1979, Adelaide was represented by Glenelg Tigers and West Adelaide Bearcats.

Then Adelaide City Eagles replaced Glenelg. It was mostly Forestville, with a few players n staff on some form of loan from their own District clubs

Then Adelaide Eagles morphed into Adelaide 36ers, a more true composite side. BASA also fielded The Buffalos in SEABL as a development team, but it was short lived

Then West Adelaide pulled the pin due to costs, merging with 36ers

History.

Eagle...stop. Just stop.

Perth without any imports still too professional, play good team basketball no matter who is playing!

Amazing record of 33 years in a row making finals WOW

the NBL needs a strong team from Adelaide as they are the only original clubs of the NBL along with the Wildcats to play every season

What kills the point is a sook that can't handle facts

Missed the game
Disappointing finish by sixers. Been very tough to get consistency. Been reasons - Moore injury randle late into squad. Froling not able to take next step as was expected. Griffin took time to adjust. Drmic seems to have lost spring and quickness. Came into pre seasonoff an injury. DJ and Teys contributed but year older. Maybe father time has caught these Sixers.. Joey throw team around to create spark but seemed to only create issues against themselves. Time has dawn for new energy coaching admin and players. We the fans have done our bit supporting the EC. Need desperately to find marqueer player to build team morale and culture... is creek untouchable. Don't think Sixers have recovered from his lose. Need to find the next creek sobey cadee Gibson type player who inspires and produces...

“If Adelaide are serious about being a threat and it's good for the league, they should look for a former Perth coach. Forde has worked under Gleeson, Weaver, so would be great. Neilson would also be great appointment.”

I agree . While both would be rookie coaches, Forde as an example has spent time with the emerging boomers too, so has all those connections with the college guys. Players like jack white and DJ Vasiljevic would be great in our league.

Are any of these Adelaide players Boomers worthy after the crap they serve up?

WRONG : Until Cal Bruton went west in 1986 they were rather less than mediocre in both talent, performance and attitude"

Bit of a stretch if you've got to go that far back to try and say a statement like that is wrong lol

Very interesting game, thought without cotton 6ers would've beat us but seemed like a pre planned?

Especially joey, not playing the normal player's? Wright was unlucky to not have 3 championships in the past.

LoL Dear Eagle - please read and don't be a sook :)

WRONG : Neither the widcats nor the 36ers are even close to original teams in the NBL

36ers starters 1/13 3P.

Ahh, Wollongong has played every season in the league.

If Adelaide are serious about being a threat and it’s good for the league, they should look for a former Perth coach. Forde has worked under Gleeson, Weaver, so would be great. Neilson would also be great appointment.

If change is happening it has to happen fast, last year Joey was on holidays or unavailable when teams were chasing players. The new coach has to have full charge of his selections of both players and assistants. There are quality people out there that be found. Set your budgets and chase the right people.

Amazing presser from Joey and DJ. No love loat amongst the 36ers group this year.

"a Childress injury from maybe winning it all."

Yeah.. nah.. you were never going to win that series. You were lucky to win the two severely over-officated games at home, but whatever floats your boat.. Carry on.

As for Teys, he actually played better than expected this season. Not a starter, but a glue guy. He deserves a pass.

KET enjoy your holiday. Start planning on how to rebuild your own team, from coach to roster. Make fun of it. You're looking like a fool right now continuing this with Eagle.

Eagle, maybe when you’re pumping your team up in the future just say things that aren’t obviously full of shit?

Ie. saying your player is an MVP before the end of an actual season or saying how good your team is with no imports when it had an import who played more than the opposition imports combined. Immediately kills the point.

Seeya Joey don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Although credit to you before Melbourne, I have lived in Perth, so I have experienced the bogan town vibe before.

"Refs handed Joey the game ball which he tossed back...dummy spit or pissed at his players. Looked like he was asked to stay for an interview which he shrugged off and went to the lockeroom "

To be fair on Joey the game was far from memorable. Congrats on 500, but lets hope we don't see game 501.

“ when you live in a town populated by bogans you may not be used to people being courteous.”

Melbourne is a pretty big city to be honest....

Lovebroker, come on, is Griffin and Randle on the court any less frustrating?

My forehead has a permanent imprint of my hand due to these two

"There is a way to say Perth is a successful and well run club without sounding like an idiot, you're just no good at it."

I don't know, I thought he did a solid job of making his point while being respectful. I guess when you live in a town populated by bogans you may not be used to people being courteous.

When was the MVP dinner? I thought it was yet to occur?

Fourth biggest payroll in the NBL and cannot make finals. How can you be anything but disappointed?

This was deplorable.

The Wildcats were not trying to win. Who would have thought Joey Wright was trying even harder not to win.

It's really hard to want Wright to stay.

“ Perth without any imports still too professional”

Sorry, where in Australia is Plumlee from?

He played more minutes than the 36ers imports combined.

Agreed, after Marty Clarke stunted our talent, Joey Wright was a godsend. He is a good coach no doubt it’s just he lost the ear of the players last year and this year and that’s that his time is up. Also says a lot about some players. This isn’t a “coach is gone things will be better”, the players need to get the shit together. They were awful individually and awful as a collective and I don’t know why any other NBL side would want any of the 36ers players the way they’ve conducted themselves this season.

Does this eliminate the Sixers?

Limp by Adelaide

Drimic almost scored on the 18 year old, outstanding season

Adelaide had packed up weeks ago.

Joey making a point benching Griffin after 2mins and not returning and Randle getting limited time.

Adelaide players are lazy, weak, immature and selfish they haven’t played like a team much all year and that’s resulted in lots of players getting benched by Joey.

It’s been a piss poor year by ownership (relationships wise), Joey and the players. All of them. This offseason there needs to be some serious cultural rebuild

Baby Huey almost good enough to back down noted bruising power forward Wagstaff down on the block, with single coverage, very unluck to have the ring block his shot

Sums up fatty Froling right there. Clean house Adelaide!

"Sixers to do a brissy blow perth away with slick hand brake off down hill skiing ball. Not white no cotton if correct. Sixers will own the split 3 - 1. Best team out of top 4.
Joey to show why best coach Sixers had in last 10 years and why his teams are fun to watch."

Anon, hopefully you can piss off with Joey. Delusional flog.

Thank god this is the last time we have to see Joey. Joey, if you ever read this you have made this club so frustrating to support and I cannot wait to see that door close behind you. Good riddance.

Froling two years at Adelaide, Adelaide two years out of the finals. Coincidence?

Does Joey look at the sportsbet multis before the game and try and piss off as many people as he can?

20 of Adelaide 39 shots have been from 3...bruise free basketball

I don't want to be that guy, but I fucking hate this Adelaide team.

Joey best coach in the last 10 years? With the soldiers they are versing tonight and who is missing, to be down double digits shows that Sixers are barely NBL standard. Best team outside the top 4? Clearly you didn't buy your drugs with EFTPOS being in Adelaide bro.

looks 6' 7" at least

How tall is travers really?
He’s been listed anywhere from 6’4 to 6’9.

Perth have brought in 2 new imports just for this game, at least, against adelaide they look like import standard :)

Perth with 2 development players up in the first 5min...Does anyone need more proof of how little this game means to us.

Another if only season....

You guys realise Manu is taking the piss.

Sixers a special at $6.25. I've just thrown $5k on

Sixers to win.. as said many time Sixers match up very well DJ loves playing v Perth. Sixers have nothing to fear can play with gay abandon..
Expect randle to have huge impact - driven proud will want to show cotton he is the man.
Drmic overdue for big game.
500 joey will use all his tricks. Expects guys to really lift - Perth are thinking about other games ahead... no need for heroics... once Sixers get confidence flowing and realise Perthjust wanting game down expect run and gun bang bang bang. Harry frothing to be picking plums...

DJ should never get another big deal from anyone. Biggest waste of talent in recent memory. He isn't as bad as Griffin but he plays only one end of the floor.

DJ will want a big one though not just being at home but I bet he has plans on opting out for a new big contract.
