Sick of this place.
Johnson needs to go.
Ballinger needs to go.
Marty needs to go.
Weigh needs far less minutes.
Helliwell should be gone.
Creek should be our franchise player.
Warren should be released for Williamson...
Herbert should go.
Ng should play more. Ng should go.
Crosswell shouldn't play in the last quarter.
Simpson should play 40 minutes.

Here's an idea, let's withdraw from the competition and just have an exhibition each week of Williamson and Simpson. Everyone would love it.

Agree with you Annoymous,without Johnson we would have Nil Wins.Johnson has funny body language but still gets on the stats,he has improved and will improve in the next few years hes only young.

See this is where people go over the top and think with emotion over sensibility. DJ is not amazing but he is a decent enough player to have around. Would be a better player in a better system where he gets to be more of a compliment player. He made some bad decisions of when to shoot and when not to shoot today, but no i would keep him and say this is a stupid thread at the same time.

I agree with Kobe.
DJ is not the first player who has issues with his body language when he is buggered.
What was different tonight was that he had to play 36 mins..

Johnson is emerging offensively and needs more shots and plays drawn up. If we kept matching him up on Wilkinson he would have put him into foul trouble and we would have been half a chance. Needs to work hard on his D and stop looking at the bench when something doesn't go his way. Head down, bum up!

@Hendo8888. I agree with you, every second subject is sack Marty & every 3rd subject is sack a player.
There is some AFL teams that haven't won a flag in 60 years. When you support a team you support a team no matter what, a real supporter buys a membership & merchandise so money goes back into the club & follows/cheers for the club no matter what.
F#^*k me no 36er fans, winge winge winge.

I'm so glad a friend told me about ozhoopsboards.com, some where to go to read interesting views & basketball news.

I believe Issac runs this site, I suggest you delete most topics & only have game topics (ie: Cats v Hawks) because your site is loosing all credibility. In the last 3 seasons since the 36ers havnt been doing to well, the forum has turned into a 36ers winge about the same couple of subjects every week forum.

SUPPORT your team or go follow soccer & jump on board Man United, I'm positive they have one some type of trophy every year for the last 20 years, that will suit you all down to the growd.

No way. I didnt like Johnson last year but he has stepped up alot this year.
Give him a good coach and he will develop more and more. He is still young and hopefully if we keep Simpson he will have a good training partner for the off season to improve more and develop the attitude that he needs.

No players in this team need to be replaced they just need to be managed and coached properly. Worse lineups in the league with better Win/Loss records

thread summation:

Haters B hATING

Other then the imports Johnson has been the only shining light. He definitely needs to stay and is only going to get better.

Red, we aren't asking them to win a championship (we would all like that to happen obviously) we are asking them to win a game!!! We all pay good money to see them play and we have gotten rubbish for several seasons now.

Wilkinson scored most of his points on Simpson from what I remember.

Red - this is a forum for people to express their opinions. If u dont like the whinging then dont read the thread - Simple!! I love how passionate the Adelaide supporters are & also love to see them lose so this site is great reading for me. The fact they've employed a terrible coach who can't recruit & cant coach men is very frustrating for some & amusing for others. Bring it on!!

Has some way to go in effort areas, but not sure it'll help us to move him on. I think he's just focusing very aggressively on his offence and confidence. Last couple of games I've seen of him, his rebounding has been better than last year.

the picture in todays paper sums him up!! has his eyes shut when put under pressure

i have one word for him

SOFT!!!

A minority of teams keep a core group for a coupla years. I get the impression of them being strong.
(Me, I liked Bruce n Carter , here for a while.)
Johnson, then regarded as needing to work on stamina
seems better at about 25mins than 35mins.
I didn't wanna watch Wollongong, but we'll win that.
Clarke evidently hasn't won 2 in a row yet and that seems unlikely.

Clarke won 2 in a row last season - back to back over Perth! LOL but true

Wow, He is only 23 and you want him gone?

Find me another Australian 23 year old in the league putting up as good a numbers as he is!

Of course he has flaws, all players do, but Johnson has the potential to be an absolute star.

His stats this year about the same as what Khazzouhs were at the same age.

I think we are going to have to fight pretty hard to retain him at the end of the season at this stage.

Watching the game yesterday I think on offence Johnson is a great option to have he is very mobile for a big but his defence still needs a lot of work, for someone so mobile he cant really move quick enough to get into a good position and stop his opponent. My opinion is he still needs to bulk up to be able to bang inside and not be pushed out the way by opposition bigs going for a rebound. I still don't think it's fair singling out 1 player because it is a team game and what I watched was a team who didn't want it bad enough. Can you tell me anyone on the current team who could when a game is on the line, come through with the goods like Brett Maher, Robert Rose, Mark David, Darnell Mee, Martin Catallini?

Chris Warren?

Don't agree but can understood why people would be frustrated. If the Sixers had won 2 or 3 more games I think we'd be seeing less of these posts.

*understand*

Ads, you'd hope that's true. Even just the two Sydney overtime games reversed would make us 5-6. But people don't pay for "what if?"

Anon 342419, You say Johnson supporters only offer up stats but you're not offering anything to defend your claim?!

Tell me who you would replace him with and keep in mind his points value, age and salary?

Lovely in theory, but in practice you then need a strong PF plus you have a 6'7" centre who was getting blocked by Khazzouh and apparently shot over by Wilkinson. And I don't see a lot of PFs likely to be available this off-season.

The only guy getting seriously underplayed is Rush (actually a SF) and I think he'd be on a multi-year deal. The rest of them are going to be pretty content on winning teams IMO.

wow anon that is a very small minded view

Wilkison scored a majority of points off of his fadeaway, drop step and spin moves

I think he was wide open on only 3 shots , one of which DJ blocked

He was hitting tough stuff all night even his shot over 3 players from behind the backboard almost went in

I wish anons could be made to use an identifier. The most recent posts would be much easier to follow. Instead it resembles incoherent chatter (which in some instances detracts from sound opinions expressed in this social medium)

Whatever Big Ads, go do your own web forum

No, I agree with the Big Ads two posts up, but seriously back to the point of the thread, DJ needs to improve, the whole team does.

Big Ads, get off the piss, you been drinking.

Big Ads, get off the piss, you been drinking.

Yep, no dinner yet and been a long day. Need sleep. Now who was I arguing with, oh yeah big ads.
DJ is a young gun just like Lou Diamon Phillips

One thing all would have to agree on about DJ
An Outstanding fantasy baller.
Ranked 3rd overall in the comp behind Khazz & Simpson.
We are only inteested in his Stats keeping going at the solid avge of 39.82 / round.
PS: If you havent already got him in your teams I suggest you make him your next trade.
