Anon,
if he is that bad, why?

Better than Brad Hill was. The guy was looking so good too from his first few possessions and then flopped for the rest of it.

Considering his years in the league, I personally wouldn't look at having him back next season. Not when there's talent elsewhere.

Yeah, lets get rid of what I expect is a cheap, talented, home grown talent like Brad Hill. Smart comment :/

His old man is assistant coach and part owner - he will be back!!!

Brad Hill deserves to be in the team.

Molitor while young isn't good enough to play in the NBL just yet. Thats why he doesn't go out there in a crucial game.

Get rid of Brad Hill? You must be joking!

As for Molitor, he is not up to NBL standard.

I can never understand why people would sacrifice a better player from interstate for a poor home grown talent. I keep saying it, its a National League therefore you have to get the best nationally. I would give up Brad Hill in an instant for a player showing more expertise and better ball handling skills for the same years of playing. There are other opportunities in your own state in a lesser league if you are not up to the level of NBL. Look at the CEO's of companies, they are sought after from all over the world because the best available is needed whether that be at home or elsewhere. I want a competitive and successful team, not go and watch local talent being given a go just because they are local. I go to ABA games for that.

brad hill cant hit a shot i cant remember the last time he got off a good shot and hit it. his father is the reason for his position on the team.

Cmon guys, you've got to admit that it's about time that Brad Hill shows some sort of consistency and development after having a couple of previous years experience in the league. Yes, he's still young, yes he is a local and yes he has talent, but how long do we have to wait to see a breakout season from him? He can't string 2 good games together! He's always been good off the dribble, but the opposition has figured out that his spin to the baseline is a favourite and he now gets double teamed down there. He doesn't have a consistent jump shot, is not a good free throw shooter, doesn't score more than 5 a game, doesn't rebound exeptionally well for his height and does nothing offensively without the ball. His defense is often utterly questionable as well. He seems to have a dip at the 2 spot occasionally and you shudder to see his handle on the ball. He doesn't seem to have a good mental understanding of the game either. How long will it take for him to develop into the player he could be or for the coaching team to figure out that it may never happen?

If I remember correctly, his best game was his first where he kept some bloke called Andrew Gaze almost scoreless. I think Hill scored a few in that game too?

i cant belevie you guys are jumping on the wagon so quick.......again...fark, it's a shallow pool of supporters that go for the kill so fast after a loss in a season that has little to offer..

first grove's, then hill, next holmes, then ninnis...

in all honesty, i think most if not all of this team fits the owners budget..including the coach, if they could buy more for less i am sure they would..

as for playing the under 23....get the sucker on the court, coz if they dont show him out there, how will they know to keep him or not?
if he's not NBL material...ciao to him...

Fair enough, but if he's that hurt, should he be playing every match?

How can we judge Molitor if he plays 2 mins over 8 weeks?
Is he up to it? - Try him and allow him to get some confidence.
Look at Burdon- great player but limited tim last year, but now inlimbo due to new NBL rules.

I'd guess with game injuries to Herbert and Holmes , then he had to/turned to Hill who's also outta sorts.
(fitness and form)
Ballinger and Groves possibly not 100% - pregame fitness tests, just enough to play.
We missed a little bit of Burston going off with blood

(sometimes I pop next door and have a look at a bitta training, which always interesting.)

Play Garlepp before Hill then.

No.
play Burdon before Groves -NO.
play u23 - just forgotten his name - NO.

I'd like to see Molitor given a shot. Without real court time (rubbish time even) its impossible to see whether hes going to have what it takes to make it in the NBL.

As for Hill hes to inconsistant, will pull of a great layup then just disapear for the rest of the game or be a plain liability. If he doesnt have it now, hes not going to learn it. Being a South Australian should never mean your put in over more talented players.

Infact the only thing Hill has going for him is the way himself and Ng teamup for alley's. Clearly alot of time spent practising them.

his father is the reason for his position on the team.

Hill missed being our U23 player by a few weeks.

I think Hill is a legit NBL player, he is young and perhaps not moving as fast as some of you guys would like, but....given enough time I think we will have a player for a few years...

I would like to see more consistent performances on the offensive end, and perhaps stepping up to take a more potent player from the other teams...really making a name for himself on both ends...

he has the size and the game...at times...
