A huge game for us. I would expect that we'll get a boost from being at home for the first time in a month (nice schedule by the way). A much better defensive effort is what is required to get the job done. Perth will be hungry for the win, having been about as up and down as we have. I always look forward to seeing Redhage play, and last time they were here Loughton was effective in curbing Ballinger's impact. Crawford killed us too last time, closer attention needs to be paid to him.

Should be a great game to watch. We need this win badly.

Don't forget to purchase your Brett Maher wine.

This will be the first head to head meeting for the only two new coaches in the NBL this season. Adelaide and Perth will be playing against each other for the 88th time, with the Wildcats 46 time winners over the 36ers (39 victories)  the most games any two teams have played head to head in NBL history.

massive clash for two of the biggest rivals in the league. As a mad cats fan i have always hated going to the dome as and remeber the late 90's and early 2000's if you won there it was worth two wins! sat night will be intersting to see how the cats pull up after having a weeks break, they havnt clicked yet this year which has been made hard by the early hectic fixtures limiting training sessions. Adelaide is interesting as well, due to the fact i get to read so much about them through this forum i feel they havnt hit their straps, but they also have had to experience many road games so early. I think the cats will prevail due to that they have won a couple on the road this year and have been close in a couple and the addtion of Kendall who has been able to train this week with the side, I think the cats have two much firepower to pinch it in a close one !

Yes, well we all know what happened to the last team with too much Firepower..

Perth has a significant advantage on paper, but we all know games arent won on paper. as a cats fan, i've allways respected the adelaide 36ers. we've allways had close rivalry between us. i think it'll be to close to call and i wouldnt be suprised if you're mob beats us. good luck anyway.

I wouldnt say that Perth have a significant advantage on paper. I reckon the two teams are very even on paper

Not long to go now. i think the cats will try to slow it down and use there bigs. the sixers will try to implement trap defense to disrupt perth from setting up there halfcourt offense. should be a good game.

Perth 32 to sixers 18.looks like redhage is on fire

cats in tottal dominance mode. every player who has seen the court has scored. as i suspected, perth's depth may overwelm the 6ers. however for you guys it seems big red is finally playing to his potential.

Cats in choke mode again. perth has made choking an art form . big red for the 6ers has been outstanding 31 points 20 boards.

Perth wins 104 to 93. brave effort by the 6ers and big red in particular. what a star. 33 and 20 boards. played a mans game. you guys now must build on the second half and start making big red a primary offensive go-to-guy. he is a beast. best of luck from here on to the 6ers.
