Adelaide are getting by however they need another quality import. Staggering they are where they are on the table with one decent import.

They need a big inside presence. They get mauled on the paint

Agreed it was a great game. A genuine arm wrestle between two very good teams.

Worst quarter of basketball I have seen

Whose going to win the title ?

Whose going to win the title ?

Adelaide, sign a third import mid season and sky’s the limit

[LaughingKookaburra]

I wouldn’t be shocked if they released Rakosevic at some stage also. Does make you wonder why they still are waiting to sign now.

[Brodlach]

He is cheap and good bench depth, I wouldn’t be letting him go.

[Gozu]

I don't think Rakocevic will be released import bigs can make a lot more elsewhere so think we'll hold on to him.

On the the vacant third import spot the team is going well at 7-2 so no rush and the longer you wait better players can shake free plus the financial savings too.
