and how would that be official?

At least it's not a "campaign", hey Dicko?

and how are you going to forward it?

Not going to happen. Your club has no money so get used to him because they aren't replacing him. Do you think they'll tell you that?

I dont think anyone is saying that its 'JUST' chappell who is responsible for the 6ers season woes. And sure, it definately is a team game!

But he is the one that stands out the most in terms of not getting value. Hands down! (also, see: Axel, but thats a different story)

He's a waste of money.. he's a waste of an import spot ATM. He was once a great contributer to this league and it is sad that he can't find his groove right now. BUT.... this is pro sport. It has to be a business decision now! He has to go!

It's not like he is a long time sixers vet and there is a heap of centimental reasons for him staying.

Just get it over with already - and take a chance to move on and hopefully save the season. If it doesn't work then it doesn't work out, but at least the sixers will show that they are keen to take the right steps forward. I mean it can't get any worse, right?

Give the sixers fans a reason to keep coming to games!

1. Sack Chappell, bring in a new face. That alone will make people interested for the rest of the season.

2. Give Erik more minutes if Ng isn't shooting well (even if its just West Sydney minutes, 10 - 15 mins from memory)

3. Get some energy out there for 48 mins (not just when your 30 points down)

4. Play with some good old fashion balls and determination (ie. Do what Davidson and Mott's do)

5. PHIL - Stop giving comments like, "it was positive to see that we didnt give up and we shot better in the second half" (not exact quote, but you get the picture) - AND F@%#ING DO SOMETHING. Because 'positive' second halves are not gonna get wins on the board.

I remember the days when you could go to the Dome (or Powerhouse) and pretty much pencil in a win for the sixers and you just knew it was going to be an entertaining night. Lets at least TRY and get back to that stage hey? Come on Phil and Mal... Give it a go fellas

Was that officially a reindeer bumping its arse on the moon?

No money hey? Surely the Sixers didn't use all of Newely's salary to pay Mottram? There should still be some money in the coffers there.

Furthermore, if an import plays only 15 games then he obviously isn't going to get paid for a full season, like what the Kings did with Victor. And the replacement doesn't have to be super expensive either - I'm sure there are relatively cheap guys that would put up better numbers than Chappell and be able to play more than 30 minutes a game without getting fatigued.

Good points Rat10 there had to be money left over from
losing Newley to Mottram.
Surely someone can tell us if it is money the def. problem or not. I would rather see us play without him and give someone else a go rather than be embarresed as much as he must be at the moment if cant afford a new import.
Biggest trouble here is the club is not listening to its supporter base and that is disastrous to any club espec. a N B L team with slipping crowds.
We need to become a voice or otherwise we will put up with Chappel all year and Phil again next year and us long term season ticket holders will watching whatever on fox.

Atleast put your name down for a petition dumb ass! That's what a petition is not 20 anonymous'

no blame for smyth on this one now. mightve given chappell longer to prove himself than he shouldve but by now would definately be wanting to make a change. cmon mal!!!!

So it is smyth's fault the club is not willing to play out chappell's contract and then spend more money on another import who might turn out to be worse....

i said "no blame for smyth"...

ps. lets not replace dench next year in case the replacement isnt better too.

I can't believe Chappell is still looking for his game, and the second "e" for his name.

CUT HIM NOW MAL OR FACE FURTHUR DROPPING IN FAN SUPPORT.

Hey, you guys are cool. You get to yell at Mr Hemmerling.
Can I hang out with guys?

"Can I hang out with guys?"

dont see why not!! nothing wrong with hanging out with guys.

lets not replace dench next year in case the replacement isnt better too

Tell us last time you got laid, & we'll post about our scoreboard. ;)

Last Night.........Or do you mean with an actual woman?

DDFan, you're a complete idiot. We are talking about basketball, what dicko's sex life got to with it?

"Hey, you guys are cool. You get to yell at Mr Hemmerling." As if you wouldn't yell at the Sixers management right now. I can't believe the things the amount of reasonable comments that get critisized on this forum.

Saint Nick
DICKO took it how it was played & got me laugh'n again.
Get those kids off of your lap, & take a day off, you sad sack. :)

OK, so if we don't have the money then just cut Chappell, and don't replace him.

I'm dead serious. Run Cooper at the 3 (he handles the ball ok and defends quicker forwards alright) with Copeland, or even Gerlach. Or run with any three of Maher, Davidson, Ng, Copeland, and Burdon (forget Sutton until he wakes up and finds his game), with two front court guys. Yes, we will get exploited on the boards and in the post, but so what. We are getting reamed at the small forward spot with Chappell each week anyway. So put some guys on the floor who maybe cause the opposition some problems in transition. Try to play like we did in the first half against West Sydney ALL the time.

You would be hard pressed to convince me that we would not be better off WITHOUT Chappell. Adding someone else in would be great but we can get better just by cutting his dead wood ass.

If it come to a stage where finals is out of the equation then i say cut dench and let dodman have a run.

Mutley, either register as a take-home drunken nefarious Bulldog bitch night out, & be be sent to the pound, or STFU. It's in your interest, to lay low. Believe me.
On the bright side, there could be a payrolled opening in 36er admin, tmatd's an absolute 'tard (not smart enough to have anoher go, & be a retard) so take the moment, & bring a fresh new face to all us paid up 36er fans.

could hardly have done worse than dench

The GOAT can shoot air balls at a better quality and clip than Dench

Wasn't talk'n about Axe, but if you want to sub in, you can wash your own underwear come next home game, when you p00 your pants homeboy.

Yeah, get rid of Chappell before he becomes a club veteran so management has a reason to keep him around... Kinda like the coach.

Hey frog, pull your head outta your cloaca.
Sorry if there are any biologically aware impressionables kiddies lurking.

So this is an official sack Chappell petition? How does it differ from "all the other sack Chappell Petitions" which does nothing more than critise this player? This is just more of the same. Anon 13823, what are you going to do with this information? Are you going to take it to 36ers Management and say "I am an anonymous fan but you should act on this information?"

Just curious about where this is all going.

Isaac - is it possible to have a filter on the site so we dont have to put up with seeing 'DDFan' posts unless we want to?

thatd be popular!

Or just subsitiute his posts with a random crap generator of some sort.

If it was truly random, odds are that 1 in every million or so would actually say something coherent.....Better odds than DD's I reckon.
