Good God!
I know that this is a public forum, but how can every single decision that the 6ers make be wrong, or worth bagging?
I admit, I have written a thing or 2 regarding the way people have coached, but FFS, this is the way the team has chosen to move on. Can't we see what happens for a few months before bagging AS SOON AS a decision has been made public????
How on earth is this going backwards??

More like HOOPS SA is going backwards:

Nah, but seriously.
Hodge probably won't sign but only cause he is good enough to take his game the the NBA. Holmes is NOT a waste of space. If he is then explain why has been named a Boomer and the South Dragons MVP. Mal does have money, how would he have bought the Sixers if he didn't? Mal is not a jerk, he is thoroughly focused and making the Sixers better, the man wasn't results and is doing his best, you can't hate a man for that.
Things are looking alright. We should have a good squad next year including Ballinger, two imports, Ng, Maher, Davidson, Holmes (hopefully its true), Mottram etc.

Ninnis has won titles in the ABl by having the best team and "getting" the best players from other clubs. The year he did not have the most talent he did not win. And bombed at nationals. So lets hope this ABL recruiter can win or the Sixers can buy a stacked team. Jobs for the boys again. People talk how Ninnis did all the preseason for the Dragons before Price came in. How did they start again??

So that means Price, Ninnis, Heal AND Molloy are all horrible coaches.

Kobe24, telling people to piss off and don't buy tickets is not what the club needs. Atleast you are happy and will buy tickets. The club will survive with one fan, haha.

We need to try and grab some young kids coming back from America aswell as looking around here. We need to sign Balls, just purely he will be naturlised so we can get another import later.
We need to look outside Adelaide for this to work. We have tried a lot of young kids from here and unless they are used for the whole year and not just after all hope is lost we wont get anywhere
I'm also glad that Ninnis is coach

EC Ninnis has been signed, cant change that, so im saying instead of trying to spread negative toxic comments around about a positive new beginning, the unhappy posters can shove it and just not come along. With the way the future looks, their seats will be quickly filled by true fans.

Yes lets give Scotty a chance but lets not be naive that we havent got real financial restraints or that Mal has done a good job .
Chappel fiasco
Previous coach stuff up. For his, the club and supporters benefit should have been clearly told not be re appointed before season end.
Coaches appointement here we know who our new coach but no official appointment been announced -- very un proffesional.
We didnt get the best coach possible we got one within our budget and total coaching package apparently close to half previous 3-4 years.
Ballinger should have been signed up before season end.
Scoreboard etc
Short of funds and a rookie coach indicates we may have trouble getting squad we all would like to see.
How much is Hodge going to want to return after his success if no N B A . Glad to move fwd from Phyl era but it is a big jump for Scotty and he needs Mals full support and Quick decisions.

bretts, Mal is interstate. You'd think an official announcement will be made when he returns on Friday.

Welcome to the frustration of negative posts. Now maybe some of you will know what I have felt like for the past couple of years. Funny how all the anti-phil people were negative for so long, and now that the boot is on the other foot so to speak, we start to hear the anti- negative posts brigade.
Unfortunately, the culture of this place is one of negative posts, no matter what the news is.

Isaac that probably case but although there are sometimes leaks before announcement , this is not a leak we actually know it is fact. Should have done before or keep in house until Mal gets back. being closer you may see more positives than most of us . But we certainly havent look very professional from general supporters eyes over last 6 months and I reckon our sixers budget for this year will be under last bad 2 years of basa.
Hope more positives to come out and we get back up there again playing with real passion

Very hard to restrict leaks. Ninnis talks to the players, and word gets out. He starts immediately on recruiting targets, and word gets out.
Dana, glass half empty! Loads of great posts on here along with the criticisms. I don't think the culture you speak of is specific to this forum.

We have all been bitching all year that Baldermort had to go - he is gone - replaced by a great South Aussie who is well liked and well respected - should we all be happy? Give him a go.
We are getting Holmes back - another South Aussie - we need to look after our own - shouldn't we be happy?
Hodges may not sign - he is worth more than $50K in a small league ... he could be getting more money anywhere - be happy that we got him for 12 games & that he seemed to care for those 12 games.

Bretts the man, with regards to budgets I see it as a good thing taht Mal is being sensible with regards to payments so far. It appears that we missed coach choice # 1 as we refused to pay above market rate, therefore option 2 was snapped up. Id rater see this senario than the club overpaying and in turn this affecting the clubs profitability long term. For stability the club needs to be financially viable or Mal will tire of constantly having to dip into his pocket to prop up a club that is losing money. When he does, its sale time and the whole cycle starts again.

Dana, general meaning and intent is more or less the same. Did you mean "in place of" in place of "rather than"? ;)

Statman I agree with your point. The only small difference is Beveridge wasnt above market or anywhere near previous coach I believe.But if cant afford you cant afford or savings help to spend on plyrs yes we do not want to start again. re - rumours they happen but this wasnt rumours, let out fully before club announcement for Scotty to have permission to approach plyrs and might as well not have a announcement really.
Dana Dana we will agree one day. i think the posts have been really positive by huge majority.
Mine and others you see as negatives are concerns and views. Your great love was greedy lazy and our postings were negatives about how he treated the posistion and glad to see him move on.
