fully agree with the team song, need to bring it back defiently it gives the crowd a way to get into the game

I never thought I would say it but bring back the seals - at least they tried to get the crowd into the game

Half time entertainment was a bit more exciting. I am not too fussed about what happens before the game like the junior's game because there is hardly anyone there to see it. Most people seem to arrive in the last 10 minutes before the game starts.

new paint and screens, good.pale running out, not good.Jim beam cans, good.Team play, good. New recruits, good. Plenty of saturday night games, awesome!

i hope eventually down the track they replace the seats with blue and red seats to match the new look of the club. To me that would make the place look cool. Also paint the curtain of the floor blue to the edge of the seats, i don't know if this is feasible due to the other courts but it would look cool. Its just good to see positive signs at the club both on and off the court for a change.

Couldnt have put it better. Stop livin in the past (eg team performance last season). The new season has begun with one of the most talented teams in the comp. I mean we got a 20 and 10 guy in ballinger, a guy that led the league in scoring (chapelle) and a pg who fits with our system better than any of us expected. I dont know where all teh Phil haters are now....they went missing with the off season recruits.
Hoping Mottram and Dench only take a small time to get into it aswell.

As for the dome, give it time, things are changing which they hadnt for years. Everything is positive at the sixers, so look forward.

I thought the First game was a great effort, the team had a bit of heart which was great to see. Maher playing his actual position instead of bringing the ball down really let him play his game his way.

Still think the guys were a bit rusty, Chappell and Mottram need some time to adjust and Chappell to regain fitness/get over his injury. Still a solid performance considering.

Im really excited about this season, Their D was 100% better when the cobwebs are completely off I think well be in for a good season.

Hope Chappell can be as exciting as Willie was to watch(well when he was on)

yeah that performance wont beat many teams, but they showed signs just not all at the same time which is where the positive outlook comes from. Personally i was frustrated at the game especially the rotation D letting guys have wide open shots but the guys will learn each others roles and how they all fit together and when the do we should have a very competitive team.

I think they were pretty good seeing that was the 1st time the entire squad had been on the floor together. Davidson was great, and I like seeing a strong post player out there. Chappell will only get better as his back improves and he gets match fit. Good to see the contribution from Copes after all the negative crap he wore last season. A player his age shouldn't be expected to carry the work load he did last year.
The only real negative for me was the lack of rebounds from Chappell, Mottram, Dench & Cooper. 9 boards isn't enough from those guys. (Maher & Davidson had 12 between them).

Overall, we've got something to look forward to.

Not too bad, 6 players over 200cms. plus maher, davidson, ng. Top 4.

A working buzzer for the scoreboard and 24 clock would be good, as well as the red light behind the glass main entrance end. All those telies and a basic requirement not working isn't too flash. Good thing there were no close buzzer beaters and only 1 24 situation.

There was some stuff that had not been played before at the Dome so I don't know that you can get on the music guy's back for not trying something new!

sniff :( just wish i was there.

(Hang on people - they didnt beat Wollongong by much so lets not get carried away.)


Taipans beat the Hawk by 12 points the following night, does this mean the Taipans have a bad team according to your outlook?

1. It was the Tigers who beat them.
2. Apparently the Hawks played very well in that game.

Talked to someone who saw both games who seemed to believe that if the Hawks had played like that against Adelaide, they could well have won.
