Go down by a point......Melbourne had the ball with 15 seconds left.

Terence Ferguson after the game "I hate Melbourne I'm an Adelaide boy for life"

Adelaide sign journeyman Alan Wiggins a 205cm player who plays a variety of positions

Not sure what to expect with this 36ers signing of Alan Wiggins. A 33 year old vet 6'9" PF he played in Japan last season and his father was a MLB player and his sister plays in the WNBA.
