IF the post over there is accurate, then Adelaide's (or even other parts of the country's) dislike for his attitude is completely justified.
What a douche bag, but as far as I'm concerned he's dead to me and after he plays us he's just another player out there on the court.
In the meantime, somebody give him a grow the f up pill.

I like the fact that the tention is building to new heights. Just the type of of news that the media will jump on which the league needs. Great for the NBL and great to see SA v Vic mentality. Now lets sell out the dome!!

In this case though it is not really SA vs VIC mentality, it's 36ers vs Hodge and the Tigers!

Still, it's going to be a huge sell-out game at the Dome on the 5th. Shame it will not be broadcast on Fox Sports.

Return game in Melbourne on 27th January will be on Fox Sports. And with the Australia Day long weekend, those at the Eltham-Dandy tournament (finishes on 24th) could stick around for a couple of days longer to watch the big game!

I call shenanigans.

so are a few people!

God I hate this douchebag if this is true. Cannot wait for the 5th.

Erik Burdon was the only 36ers I could see in his friends, couldn't see Gilchrist there unless they became friends in the last 2 days.

If Hodge actually did say that on his facebook lets see a screen shot of it? Otherwise it sounds fake and ur all taking the bait.

Is Alice Cooper in his list of friends ?

Americans dont use the term wankers.

No they don't, and I'm not your mate buddy.

I'm not your buddy guy.

idiots ^^

Haaaahahahaha! Great episode! Canada on strike!

Humpa you stuffed it up, it was sposed to be "I'm not your friend, guy" :P


Poison songs:

Poison by Nas and Poison by Bell Biv Devoe.

John Gilchrist actually quoted Poison by BBD on his Facebook page a few days ago, coincedence?

Ooh the poison bit was meant for the other Hodge thread.

There's so many Hodge threads!!! I'm so confused!!!!!

Can the 6ers recruit Barry Hall for a one off game against the Tigers?

HODGE IS A WANKER!!!!
HODGE WE ALL KNOW UR READING THIS SITE CAUSE THERE IS "NO-ONE" THAT LIKES U HERE IN SA!!!
YOU ARE A ROYAL TOOL!!!!

it will be a great game on the 5th. Lets hope we bring a A grade game

What can I say - Enjoyed watching you play here Julius
From what I've seen at training - Burston was most impressive, with Gilchrist feeding him well.
Groves actually looked the better of the 2.

Sigh @ people feeding the troll.

are you actually wasting your life caring

This was actually posted on a female friend's FB page, not aimed at the 36ers fans. It has been lifted off her page and posted as if it was an open message. Not a smart thing to post on FB, but taken totally out of context.

While the majority of 36ers fans hate Julius for what occurred, there will probably be at least one member of the current management who won't be too upset given their involvement in the previous situation including the interview.

Hi DEIMOS 83 YOU TURD.

Oh don't worry, that wasn't aimed at you. ;)

Haaahahaha!

ROTFLMAO!

when nz play the melbourne wankers im hoping storey's elbow finds hodges throat :)

Cheers anon. What a cockhead.

Poor grammar to boot. Must have gone to UNLV - where the exams do themselves.

Can we sign Paul Rees to a 1 game contract vs Tigers. I would just love to see a bone crunching half court screen on Hodge. One that would leave winded on the ground. The crowd would go nuts. It would be awesome

Rees is on a surfing holiday.

You'd hire Robert Sibley for the mid court screen. Remember that one he set when playing for the Tigers? Now that was a mid court screen!

this is what NBL needs, even I will try watch that game

LA - agree. Not really a fan of Hodge's attitude when it goes from fun-loving showman to being a bit of a twit, but he can play and draws a crowd. Could get some good crowd numbers when the Tigers next visit Adelaide.

I mean NBL just misses a 'storyline' where most of the time NBA's got a story behind the game that make each game mean something extra.

We need to re-activate Blakemore for the 5th. One night only special.

Just found this. Good news, Chris Paul lining up with the 36ers..

grr. can never get linky to work.

try this.

Haaahahaha DB5! That's hilarious. It's actually pretty much the same as 50 other jokes on here about one-game recruits but this one I actually cracked up at.

...and to think I actually disliked CP3 when I first saw that. He's my hero now!

You've got to be honest about the coverage the Sixers got when the pay dispute went up.

Never seen so much TV time for the Club in over a decade; unfortunately it was regarding contract disputes.

Wouldn't mind the 1-2 minute stories the Sixers used to get, instead of hearing about which Adelaide Crow got hemeroids, or hearing about another playing missing out on training because it clashed with his facial booking at "Sue's Day Spa".

'Superstar - big crowd for Tigers practice '

Aw - but it wasn't Hodge, it was Tiger.

Link to a Herald-Sun story in Melbourne: http://linky.com.au/zoqev

Hodge said "the business side of it" had led to him ending his two short stints with Adelaide.

"I was one of the better players in the league," Hodge said.

"Adelaide, the team and the fans were great, but I wasn't getting paid so I can't stay in that situation.

"I love Adelaide, but Melbourne is like a smaller New York City to me. It's got the weather and happier people, so I feel I'm right at home."

I would hardly describe New Yorkers as 'happy'
