If he wasnt any good why would EVERY NBL club in Australia be after him.
If he wasnt any good or third / forth string why would North Carolina have been chasing him b4 he signed to the Dragons.

He has just come back after a broken foot which has left him side lined for nealry 5 months, after a few games back people start bagging him, COME ON!!!!!!

Coming from the perspective of a former pioneer fan watching joe play for the first time I must say i go agree with the statement that he looked lost out there on the court, not any more so that the Mount Gambier Pioneers!
Who are they now and what have they become! A former championship team to a bottoms of the ladder squad of randoms that cant get a team together on the road.

As for Jawai I do agree that he is a younger version of the Shaq attack and would love to see him matched up on him someday in the future? Is this realistic???

The biggest disappointment to evolve from the Pioneer VS AIS clash was the disappearance of Shannon Seebohm, was a shame to not see him on the court and also a huge surprise to not see at the game at all. Does anyone knows where the former Millicent Magic star was????

Shannon injured himself midweek apparently, yes it was a huge shame he couldnt suit up.

Would have been a huge crowd if he made the trip.

Ahh Bulldog, what a great post.

The wonderful thing is that you have put your moronic thoughts in writing for all the world to see. The even more wonderful thing will be to watch you eat humble pie when you finally realise what a great talent and player Joe will become.

As has been stated, he has just returned from a long term foot injury and would not be back to full match condition. A player of his limited experience will take a little more time to re-adjust to the pace and space of 5 on 5.

In 15 years you'll be telling your kids/grandkids that you watched "One of Australia's greatest ever players" when he was a junior. That is if the water whereever you are hasn't left you sterile...

How many people does the Icehouse hold?

One too many obviously hey Pash!

2 rite! do u enjoy watchin the game inbetween sweeping the floor? if i were you ild be looking for a pay rise cos free tickets just doesnt cut it anymore!

geez turn it up blue collar don't get too far ahead of yourself

he is doing his best / boo to the knockers

Blue Collar hope Jo doesnt read the hype youve put on here.If you are a true fan you will let him go about his business of learning and developing as a player. Lots of talent but far too much hype allround for a young player who has done little in the last 18 months to warrant all the attention. I hope you are right with your predictions but at the moment Jo doesnt deserve any more attention than many other talented young Aus ballers. Do some research and youll know who they are.

You english speak good anon 81565.

Joe's biggest fan :

" why would North Carolina have been chasing him b4 he signed to the Dragons. "

Is that really true ? The tar-heels wanted him ? are you pulling a leg ?

North carolina was chasing joe for numerous months before the dragons got hold of him

It amazes me the absolute tripe that people put up here. Look at the facts and do not listen or read crap from under achieveing people who would and have had no oppotunities. This kid has ability. It will only be time, but the fans will see in the long term. If the kid was U/S as stated before, why was he courted by so many.
All the knockers, get out and realise your dreams, He has, You probably could not.
It is the tall poppy syndrome, of all before.
