Cortez Groves to re-up with Dragons

Word seems to be that the Dragons have retained Cortez Groves and cemented South's starting five under Goorjian for 08/09.

If anything, they should at least be an entertaining team!

Is there any article or proof that this is case?

Have we got enough scorers?

Wow...this could be a big turnaround on last season.

Looks like Mark Cowan's wallet has been expanding more than a whore's vagina.

So what does that make it?

Horvath/Burston
Worthington
Ingles
Ere/Smith
Cortez

...plus a few benchies...

...all coached by Goorj.

That is a pretty fearsome lineup, although one could suggest that Ingles, Ere, Smith and Cortez would all be competing for the SG role, as they all play that role naturally to some extent. That could conceivably cause some problems, but I guess it is a good problem to have.

Also, not that it will worry a team playing under Goorj's rule, but they could be a little light on in the big man department, particularly if Burston has another injury interrupted season.

Nice scoop, Isaac :-) Did you wait for confirmation from a reliable source or did you just take my word for it?

Anyways..... A likely starting 5 of...

Tez
Ebi
Ingles
Wortho
Horvath (or Burston)

and a bench of

Smith
Vukona
Herbert
Burston (or Horvath)

Is a pretty handy 9.

Rumour is that they (as well as the Bullets) have also at least spoken to D-Mac, I'm sure Aaron Bruce would be a Goorjian target, Luke Martin has not (yet) been cut and I'm still suspicious on why Pero re-rated for the NBL when the only coach I haave known to handle him is Goorj.

The 10th could be just as interesting.

XY.....Vukona would hardly come under the "a few benchies" umbrella.

I will assume that you forgot him when you posted?!?!?

Hang on - has Ebi been confirmed? daaayum.

Although, that line up doesn't strike me as a very team-oriented line up, none of the starting 5 look like they'd be likely to give up 6 or 7 assists a game.

Dicko, I would put Vukona in the 'very useful benchies' category. Ok, yes, I forgot him. I was thinking more of the Martin's and Herbert's in that category, although Vukona is really a solid team man than a high impact player.

That said, it doesn't take away from my comments as to the possible weaknesses I see in the lineup.

Surely the 10th man would have to be a PG wouldn't it??? Which would put Luke Martin in with a good crack, after last season I would love to see him back and be given a decent opportunity.

Come on - you didn't even go check with your sources until you'd seen me post about it! Plus you might be running behind on the latest with Hodge given Irrelevant's source is good.

An article including the words "confirmed" about both Groves and Ere would be nice.

Marty.....sometimes you just gotta know whom to trust.

Groves and Ere are the Dragons starting backcourt for 08/09.

hey Dicko, have you heard anything about us moving to the netball and hockey centre yet, i made a thread, but must have been bumped, any word?

NO.....no word on that at all.

I still find it odd that nothing has been mentioned about Ere or Groves if they HAVE signed.

DICKO, I'm sure you're a reliable source (or have a reliable source) but I'd still like to see it in print. Once that happens, I won't question you again. =D

DICKO, any word on whether the RBA are going to raise interest rates any time in the next quarter?

Reply #187159 | Report this post

Doc, I expect the Reserve Bank Interest rates to remain steady at least through to the end of the financial year.

After that....get out your crystal ball!

And any word on when Turnball is going to stab Nelson in the back?

Back to seriousness, could the delay be because they are awaiting Ebi's official clearance from the Bullets, as was the case with CJ and Boucher?

I think Ere might have been a free agent?

Ebi was free from the get go, irrespective of the Bullets situation, yes.
