36ers... It's my fault???

Over the last few years 36ers have changed coaches, playing squad and management yet still we end up down the bottom and yet things don't look like changing an y time soon.

As far as I can see I am the only constant for all these years. Turning up week after week, season after season to put up with this. So I have decided to accept some reponsibility for the underperforming 6ers. I'm not sure if I am alone on this but I must be a contributing factor.

The bonfire is ready and we all expect you to report to the Sixers car park for the sacrificial offering to the NBL gods before the next game

Ando myself & my brothers have been season ticket holders since the mid 90's ish, we put alot of passion into every game but the Dome isn't the powerhouse it use to be.
Back in the day the team use to thrive off the crowd, from what I can see now the players don't use the energy from the crowd. Players like :
Farley
Cat
Maher
KB
Mee

Just to name a few there are plenty more, These players loved the crowd & every time the crowd was fired up so were the players.

In the off season Marty needs to make huge changes to the squad & the game plan.
Marty needs to stay !

Since Farley (who many complained about) how many imports has Adelaide kept that were even close to as talented? If Farley stayed one more year he would have been Australian along with Balls, plus we could have 2 imports. That would have been nice. At least we would have had a scorer!

Now we reply on who to score? random people each week!

Then why did Farley not get re-signed by the sixers?

Farley is Available for next season, maybe they should get a steady head that knows the game, the city and the fans. Grab a second big import and you have Farley, Balls, import(Big), and then the guards they have already might fit in as they don't have to do all of the scoring. Just a thought as like I said earlier, the legacy of the more than one season import seems dead in Adelaide. They have no identity any more. I know for a fact that Farley is only an 8 on the NBL points cap also.

Holy S... looks like you really want him at the club. (posting it twice) ;-)

How old is Farley now? How long has he been out the NBL?

You certainly need to get your imports right! Youve sacked a heap & the ones youve ended up with are no better. There lies your problem!! The aussie content, if used correctly, is certainly not that bad...

What an inspirational film clip. Maybe this is what the team needs to view before every practice session. Thanks for sharing that MJ.

How cool was that... thanks MJ.


Now I realise I was just making excuses when I started this thread. It's actually all of our fault.
How can we make this team better?

WARNING : This advice is offered as a joke........


Support another club - Like the Breakers

Move to a different area - Like New Zealand

Change the name of the forum - To Hoops.NZ

Whinge and moan about the new team - Not 36ers

Watch new team go down hill - Watch 36ers rebound and finish top 4 next year

Jump ship - come back to 36ers and continue whinging about the Breakers

Problem solved

I tried that and both the 36ers and Breakers missed the finals.

It is time we all change our focus, the only important thing is the Club itself.
To get it right, it cannot happen without support.
Without support the Club will disappear.
How many players have been at the Club?
How many Coaches?
Even owners?

Shit team performance is very frustrating as a supporter, as it must be with players and coaches. There has been many changes trying to lift performance. Coach sackings, import sackings. They are obviously tring to fix it. So why not support it.


Should the owners chuck it in? Give up their support because the team performance of this year is shit.
I hope not.

More importantly I hope the supporters do not.

Bring Farley in next season and he will be an Aussie after 1. He will score and have a steady (NBL) head that knows the game in Australia. Having a guy like Farley Ballinger and another import sounds a lot better than Shannon, Balls and 4 dud's that have been sacked!!!

Bring Farley back? Why don't we just ask Al Green and Mark Davis back too?

c'mon Bizzy surely you are not suggesting that Farley is the same age as Davis and Green? Fool. He is 8 months older than Shannon. Maher was older when he retired than Farley is now and Farley is in Great shape. How's yours by the way?

Bizzy u obviously didn't see Farley at HSH looked in good form better than the impersonators that we've had over the years.

Yeah the Farley where he plays hard, gets a contract then just coasts the rest of the way?

people need to get over the Farley love affair. Saw him at HSH and nothing much had changed. His last game was a chuck fest. No defence and once you take away his left he struggles, that is why he is out of the league. If he was that good last time here how come no one else picked him up then or on the back of HSH

If you ever get frustrated by the Farley talk, just remember that at least it means everyone's forgotten about Jayson Wells.

We are getting Eddie Curry anyway. As well as Iverson, Bonzi Wells, and the Phoenix Suns' Gorilla.
