If we get Pero you know that things are slim on the opportuntity line.

Look for Brett to get frustrated at Pero's inability to follow a set play in the clutch.

Still you know some dunks are going to happen and paired with Coop you have a solid and intimidating shot block party

Kent, seeing as most of Adelaide's set plays are sub-par, whats there to lose. Pero is a great player, and will get better. He'd be a good pickup.

If we can get pero and re-sign nashy, we may be ok, especially with an import spot available, a line up of
C Pero
F Import
F Nash (if Holmes stays he can start and put nash off the bench)
G Farley
G Maher
6 Hill
7 Cooper
8 Copeland????? (rumoured)
9 Aussie fwd (Hambour)
10 Aussie Guard (Gerlach)
I think that team could be ok, especially if we do manage to re-sign Holmes

Adelaide had set plays last year? I didn't see any....

There is a lot to like about Pero. Its just that the elevator doesent go to the top floor. He gets up and down the floor quicker than anyone in this league (C PF) so to play him at his best will mean a fast transition game, not sure that will suit with Maher on the court. As such half court offence were you have to think and Pero might struggle.

But with Hill, Farley and other uptempo players then it will be fun to watch.

Who keeps writing that Hamburgler, and his mammoth back side to be warming the 6ers bench?

Jonno I dunno, the burgler is a big No No!!

If he was a North person, maybe he'd know how to spell their names?

Pero would be good value, but more a PF IMO. I like the way he plays above the rim and throws it down with some authority. An exciting player like that might even bring the crowds back. How is he defensively besides blocking shots?

While disappointed at losing Oscar I don't think he was a fantastic defensive player in the position he was played in and his numbers were approximately similar to the previous season. I expected him to make more of an impact in 05/06.

I think losing Jake would be more damaging to the team as he improved significantly in 05/06, Was the only other consistent rebounder (with Dusty), is a great passer and is great at the defensive end.

I feel that Brad Hill will need to develop a lot more mentally if he is to carry the ball. I don't see anything wrong with recruiting someone like Rucker to to the job and pass on many years of experience to Hill.

if i were to start hill, if holmes leaves id start with him at small forward and have a starting line up like
C Pero???
PF Import
SF Hill
SG Farley
PG Maher
as i think brett is the far better point guard and hill is more suited to the sg/sf positions

I cant believe people are really suggesting playing farley and or hill at the 3 spot, sure this will work in certain games for certain spurts/runs but to base your main rotation on that is ludicrios.

Imagine them defending a Saville, Mackinnon, Cattalini?!?
Hell Dusty will probably even get a run as a SF during games in Brisbane!?!

IMO SF have the best oppurtunity to score points in this league (long theory email me if you want to get into it). So therefore putting in a undersized guy to defend that spot would be crazy.

Here's an idea, bring some young guys in, actually play them too, save some money and watch them grow as players and get a bit of excitement and unpredictability into The Dome on gmae nights. Make things fun!

C: Pero / Cooper / Bungey
PF: *Import* / Hambour / Dodman
SF: Holmes / Nash
SG: Farley / Hill
PG: Maher / Gerlach

Surely that's do-able

my team

C:Hinder
PF:Pero
SF:Import
SG:Farley
PG: Brett
6SF:Copeland
7SG:Nash
8C:Cooper
9PG:Hill
10PF:Hambour

id be happy with that if they could get it.

is there any more news on talking with pero?? isaac, do you know if he is talking to other teams at all?? what would his point rating be??

There has been no more on Pero recently. Didn't Daws say on radio last night that they weren't interested in him? There's a pretty substantial difference between a club having an interest in a player and offering them a contract. Interest could be enquiring regarding their asking price or just letting them know that if their first priorities don't eventuate, they might talk more.

Pero would be a 10 point player.
