“Obviously plans change and adapt, but I believe he was their plan A to backup Norton and Cotton.
He would have gotten extra minutes with Martin out, but still not what he got at the Hawks. Would Gleeson have given him the same freedom to develop?”
Ask Rhys Vague if Sunday made the right decision


Dech can, but obviously doesn't want to play the back up 1.
He's bet on himself to earn the best role he can get in the position that he wants... a wing.
Dech's biggest upside is his defence, followed by the fact he can be trusted to run a team at the point.
He's now showing he can do more than that and be a scoring threat on the wing as well.
He totally made the right decision not signing at Perth.
Just like Cam Oliver made the right decision not signing at Perth.

Felt like Flinn didn't cope well or manage the roster either but he was dealt a harsh hand so I'll give him one more chance, hopefully he can have an opportunity like Kelly and Cairns for year 2.

I don't mind one of Boone or Andersen if neither are expensive, but I think both is a risk, and I don't know that Boone was cheap. Seemed like rookies and veterans with little in between.

Bit hard when the league forces you to start off with a hand me down import Boone and old man Brooks who hadn't played in 18 months, for the main purpose of making the league seem legit when people from overseas tune in to watch Lamelo they see other names out there.

The roster composition wasn't helpful.
Many things went against
them, losing Brooks and then Ball.
Andersen and Boone were cooked.
Hobson and the other import who I can't remember were no good either.

Maybe slightly better if Bevo had stayed, but not much. Team composition was shit. Hopefully the hawks get a new owner and it’s a lot more stable and they get two good imports, keep there best young players and fill in the gaps with Australian quality players they should be fine. Who ever got them Dech find a few more, a few kings bench players could be useful.


Blanchfield averaged 13ish PPG and meagre numbers in boards and assists. Sad season for the Hawks.


Three game series with undecided opponents, but the first venue and time have been announced. Both on the same night, but timezone differences will mean people should be able to watch both games?
