WTF is going on with the 36ers...seems we're offering the head coach role to anyone who'll listen and they are all turning it down.

Supposedly according to Boti Nagy the latest name is CJ Bruton.

Also got a weird email from them saying they noticed I had read an email from them and wondered if I want a membership. Creepy.

Now the ball is in your court if you want go back to them and offer them 50% of what it normally is lol

Carn the Panthers!

Cant understand that TBH, if you are going to get it why wouldn't you get it as soon as you can? Strange take.

Not really it's a smart take I'm doing the same. No Covid in Adelaide to worry about means no need to get the vaccine yet wait until it becomes mandatory and/or a new vaccine has been created to deal with a possible new variant of it.

Being in Adelaide afford us this luxury would be a different story in Sydney or Melbourne I would've got it long ago then.

Its everyone's personal choice and I respect that, however if you intend to get it I don't quite understand not getting it now, get it done and add to the figures that the experts are hanging onto to allow things to open up again, otherwise it's just delaying everything.

I don't get people thinking like this how in any way does someone like me or Brodlach not getting the jab right here right now effect anyone else's lives? We don't have Covid in Adelaide, there is literally nothing to catch. Miss Nicola is just getting off on the power trip of seeing everyone in masks.

I think there is enough people vaccinated around the world now to know that there is nothing harmful in the vax.

That's likely true but my mother's partner was fine beforehand, he got the jab and was then bedridden for a week and even needed to go to the hospital. I'm not interested in taking that chance when we don't even have it in Adelaide.

The NBL have announced the start of the season has been pushed back to December 3 when the 36ers play Tasmania in the JackJumpers inaugural game and have released the 2021-22 season schedule which will see every game live on ESPN and Kayo and two Sunday afternoon games each week also live on 10 Peach.

Indeed, there is no risk of killing someone drunk driving as you can kill someone driving drunk or not!

Not a great analogy as an uvaxxed person isn't any more of a risk than a vaxxed person. The vaccine doesn't stop you from passing Covid onto anyone else all it does is mitigate the effect of it on yourself. Extreme views like this is how they're able to get away with this stuff.

What next if doctor's surgeries are allowed to ban unvaxxed people from entering, what about smokers? Fat people? People that eat sugar? People that eat meat? What about people with different colour skin? When will it end?

I remember when my old man who was a heavy smoker was starting to drop things that he had in his left hand and didn't even notice. I said to him that sounds like warning signs from a stroke or heart attack you really should go to a doctor. Eventually he did and the doctor refused to even treat my dad because he was a smoker. My father went on to have a massive stroke has been an invalid ever since and that doctor who was younger than my dad is dead now, died of lung cancer. He must've been an ex-smoker because ex-smokers hate smokers because the smell makes them want to have a smoke.

That doctor faltered by allowing his personal biases to overcome his responsibility to treat the sick much like the doctor mentioned above considering banning unvaxxed from his surgery. Aside from the fact it should be illegal but if you start going down that route it's a very slippery slope and people like that have no business being doctors.

thats just not true at all.

being vaxxed makes you much less likely to catch covid

being vaxxed makes you much less likely to pass it on

Bullshit, where have you heard that? Shitloads of people double vaxxed are still catching it and passing it on look at the waves in Europe and the US at the moment.

why should a doctor treat someone who will obviously not follow their medical advice? seems like a waste of time all around. or would you rather that doctors actually put money before patients actual wellbeing?

Who's not following a doctor's medical advice? My mother is now banned from even stepping foot inside her doctor's clinic. if my mum doesn't want to get the vaxx that's on her no one else's business she knows the risk for a person at her age. I've tried to talk her out of it but she's staunch about not wanting chemicals in her blood same as flu shots.

Doctors are not meant to be in the business of picking and choosing their patients we all know it goes on and it's unethical.

Greenwood has previous form....from memory he walked away from a NBL contract (Perth Wildcats??) to take up footy!

That's correct he was a good college level basketball player in the US put his name in the NBA Draft went undrafted so came back here and signed a 3 year contract with the Perth Wildcats and then quit during training camp to take up a contract offer from the Crows.

Supposedly footy was always his first love and when he realised NBA was unlikely in his future nor likely to ever play for the Boomers at Olympic or WC level decided to walk out on Perth. I remember when he was playing in college he was a devout Christian and had tickets on himself.

On his AFL salary I too heard his deal with NM was for $500K a year not sure why some are arcing up about when $400K a year is supposedly the average wage in the AFL, he's a bit better than average so fair price.

Id vote for Stevens if he went into politics

I probably would too if for nothing other than that hilarious comment he gave about that missing idiot fisherman who unfortunately did turn out to go missing permanently this time.

I've got no time for the Liberals I dislike virtually everything they stand for but IMO Marshall has done as good a job as possible during this pandemic, he's run things much like a Labor premier would. Labor after 16 years in office have got no business getting back in after only one term in opposition and Malinauskas is far from premier-material.

I'll be voting 1 Greens, 2 Liberals at the next state election.

You Am I - Sound As Ever stiff to miss out but good to see Mark of Cain - Ill At Ease in there, LMA is one of my top songs ;)

There used to be a poster on here that was such a fan of that TMOC song his name was LMA ;)

I too thought Sound As Ever was a bit stiff to miss out but really surprised #4 Record couldn't sneak into the Top 200.

I would've thought Powderfinger's Double Allergic might've got a guernsey too.

TISM'swww.tism.wanker.com should've got in on the back of Thunderbirds Are Coming Out and The Parable of Glenn McGrath's Haircut.

IMO The Fauves' Lazy Highways is a better all round album than Future Spa.

Former Powderfinger bassist John 'JC' Collins is now managing on behalf of Live Nation and others a new live music venue Hindley Street Music Hall on the site of the old HQ Complex. The first show open to the public will be in August and it has 1,800 capacity.

In a sign that music is back, the team behind Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall and The Triffid are spreading their wings with the announcement of the Hindley Street Music Hall, a brand new 1800-capacity space in Adelaide.

The venue, situated at 149 Hindley Street is backed by multinational touring company Live Nation, Secret Sounds (promoters of Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festivals) and Adelaide based Five Four Entertainment. The project is being overseen by ex Powderfinger bassist John Collins (JC) who has successfully managed the operations’ Brisbane venues since 2014.

Final

36ers 134
Suns 124

The only reason people are talking about this kid is because his father is some sort of big shot on talk back radio. It's likely the same reason he ever played an AFL game too.

Where is that bullshit talk no doubt spun by his father or agent about the Bulldogs 'chasing' him to try and pressure the Crows into giving him another contract? Talk about trying to play the game and then crying foul when things don't go their way.

I wouldn't ask Stephen Rowe for his opinion on the weather and James was fortunate to have ever played in the AFL in the first place.

Who his Dad is has nothing to do with anything!

It's got everything to do with it, it's the only reason you know about it.

I'm not saying it was great by the Crows it isn't but this is the reality for young guys when AFL teams discard them, they're unceremoniously dumped. Something similar (promise of being rookie listed and then oops changed our minds, see ya later) probably happens around the AFL 4-5 times every year but you never hear about it because those kids dads aren't some blowhard on talk back radio.

I agree, I always considered Freak Show their best album. Never was a big fan of Frogstomp even though it came out not long after I first got into them and Neon Ballroom was decent and IMO they should've broken up after that album. I can appreciate the artistic merit of Diorama but I never thought much of that album and that was when I started to lose a lot of interest in Silverchair. The Wave Aid "comeback" show in 2005 was promising but when I first heard Straight Lines on the radio I knew that the band were now officially dead to me to the point I never even bought Young Modern.

No Association (from Freak Show) live on Recovery in '97 (not '98 as listed):

To be honest I'm surprised they took this long to cut Randall he was clearly a major issue with how much of a hog he was. There was even talk when we were over in the US that the Sixers were even considering cutting him then. None of his teammates liked him either.

You could just see in the Blitz games how much of a problem he was going to be. Treating the games as his personal showcase his teammates and winning be damned. That's how meaningless big scoring numbers are in the G-League it's a garbage league where wins and losses are irrelevant and it's all about NBA teams developing their young guys and individuals trying to showcase themselves. Randall was putting up big numbers in the G-League last season but not one NBA team signed him which rang alarm bells for me. Even after the Phoenix game still no NBA contract, again it says a lot.

Players like this guy don't understand he's never going to score his way into the NBA, those teams aren't looking for scorers from lower leagues they've got plenty of those already they're looking for guys that can play a role and help fill a niche that's missing on their team like defence or 3pt shooting or veteran leadership. That's why guys like Delly & Jack White are now in the NBA or in Delly's case back in even after a mediocre season in the NBL but players like Randall are overlooked.

This team is far too talented to be having massive 25-30 point losses at home. It was clear something was rotten in the team those kinds of results with a team this talented are protests. Players were just going through the motions pissed that they're rarely ever seeing the ball on offence. Randall was too much of a black hole offensively when he would get it that would be it it was always going up no matter what the ball wouldn't move, players would stop moving it was horrible to watch, in the SEM game he tried to jack up a 3 when double teamed and got stripped. You can't have a guy like this on your team if you're serious about winning games.

I thought by finally bringing him off the bench last game Randall wouldn't like that he played badly and now here we are.

Official announcement:

https://nbl.com.au/news/adelaide-drop-bombshell-release-star-guard

Malcolm will once again have an incredible selection of collectable LPs. He will also be selling an impressive range of rare jazz EPs, along with reducing four crates of collectable LPs to $10 each. Andy has some awesome newly acquired jazz & funk albums, as well as some fresh boxed sets of The Beatles and John Lennon. As usual there will be a diverse range of quality CDs.

For those requiring CD storage a variety of racks and shelves will be on sale. With Christmas around the corner why not buy a present or two ? Just a note to collectors of 7” singles, at this sale there won’t be much fresh stock as they’re being stockpiled for next year’s sale events.

If you’ve never been to the Aldgate Music Sale before, Mal & Andy invite you to experience a more relaxed & laid back record fair-style event, less than 30 minutes travel from the city. With a great range of vinyl, CDs and music related DVDs & books at very reasonable prices and generous bulk-buy reductions, it’s a sale not to be missed. Why not make a day of it by booking a table for the Aldgate Pump's delicious meals on 8339 2015, for lunch or dinner ? As always admission will be free !

Mal and Andy are always keen to buy record collections, so feel free to request an offer / quote.

Please be advised that this is a CASH ONLY sale and an ATM is conveniently situated downstairs in the hotel.

Fair enough I just would've thought maybe Norwood would've been more appropriate.

Anyway as an honorary Elizabethan that was nice to see the Centrals girls get up.

John Howard was still Prime Minister when Buddy Franklin made his AFL debut ( R1, 2005).

There were seven different Prime Minister's during Franklin's AFL career (Howard, Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard, Rudd x2, Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull, Scott Morrison, Anthony Albanese).

The 36ers have signed a five-year contract extension with the Adelaide Entertainment Centre to remain the Sixers home court until 2029.

In a pre-season game tonight the 36ers beat SE Melbourne 101-65 in Mount Gambier. The Sixers had seven players in double figures led by Jamaal Franklin with 14 points, Trey Kell also with 14 and Alex Starling had 13 points and for the Phoenix Mitch Creek and Will Cummings each had 12 points.

That is sad news for Homicide. I know a lot of people aren't big fans of him but he's a hype man and he hypes the NBL very well among a somewhat bland batch of commentators. He's not there for the diehards but to try and draw in casual viewers. One thing the NBL has in the past always had a problem with is selling itself and Homicide gets people talking on social media in a very crowded Australian sports landscape where the NBL needs all the help it can get with the media focusing on footy, rugby and cricket. I wasn't a big fan of Homicide as a player but he's been doing yeoman's work in commentary.

I was actually a bit disappointed to hear him say a year or two ago that the NBL doesn't pay him at all during the off-seasons so he has to go back home to the US and then comes back here for the start of the next season. Larry Kestelman the owner of the NBL has got about $800 million to his name and the NBL itself has a $45 million TV deal, you would think they could afford to pay Homicide all year round and use him to make in roads in the media for the next NBL season ahead. For all the good LK has done I think he might've missed a trick on that. Anyway all the best to Homicide for his big fight ahead.

In a pre-season game today the Illawarra Hawks beat the NZ Breakers 85-74 at the Snakepit. Tyler Harvey top scored for the Hawks with 19 points and Cam Gliddon had 18 points for the Breakers.

The next Semaphore Record Fair will take place on Monday the 2nd of October (the Labour Day long weekend public holiday), at St Bede’s Hall, 200 Military Road in Semaphore from 9am to 4pm. The hall is located 20 metres south of the Semaphore Road / Military Road intersection in Adelaide.

Entry is FREE.

This is a street level event, which enables easy access for wheelchairs, prams and other mobility aids.
Church volunteers will operate a small cafeteria providing food & refreshments.

40 traders will have 70 tables of stock for sale, including vinyl records, CDs, DVDs, books & magazines, music memorabilia and more.

One of the traders is a specialist stylus & music accessory supplier, who’ll be able to replace worn & damaged record player needles.

Please note that most traders only accept cash payment, however there is an ATM nearby outside the IGA supermarket on the corner of Semaphore Road & Military Road.

I think they are. Talk a number of the players aren't happy with the new coach as rumours start to circulate of Brian Goorjian's return to Sydney next season.

How does the finals system of games work ?
What are the advantages for the teams that finish top, top 2, top3, or top4 ?

The higher you finish means you have home court advantage against a lower ranked opponent in the finals.

The way the playoffs/finals work is the Top 2 teams get automatic entry in the semi-finals with home court advantage over their opponents, the SF series are Best of 3 games. Teams 3-6 now as of the new system started last season play in 'Play-In' games to determine entry into the SF's. The Play-In games are single games I think it's 3 vs 4 , winner goes into one SF the loser gets a double chance. 5 vs 6 is single elimination the loser is out the winner goes on to play the loser of 3 vs 4 in a third Play-In game to determine the other SF opponent. The two winners of the Best of 3 games SF series advance to the Grand Final series which is Best of 5 games. Teams that finish the regular season 7-10 obviously don't qualify and their seasons are over.

It's a bit convoluted now but probably better than the previous longstanding finals system of only the Top 4 teams qualifying and the rest their seasons are over. It was one thing when it was an 8 team league but once SEM Phoenix came in as the 9th team and then Tassie as a 10th team something had to change.

Sydney Kings assistant coach Fleur McIntyre has been announced as the new General Manager of the Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA and will leave the Kings at the end of the season.

36ers beat Sydney 85-78

Goorjian has pulled out of the running for the 36ers job.

Brian Goorjian has pulled himself out of the Adelaide 36ers' head coach search, he confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday.

Talks between the 36ers and Goorjian heated up earlier in February when the two parties met about the eventual head coach vacancy, and progressed to the point of deep contract negotiations, sources said.

Also:

The expectation is that the 36ers will conduct a search for a high-level assistant coach to supplement the potential signing of Ninnis as head coach, sources said.

https://www.espn.com.au/nbl/story/_/id/39561719/nbl-brian-goorjian-pulls-adelaide-36ers-head-coach-search

IMO Goorjian was never serious about coaching the 36ers under this owner and just used us to drive up his price elsewhere.
