Horrible performance tonight

Concerned 20 year season ticket holder here. I came to the game tonight, excited and expecting big things, but was sorely disappointed. What a sorry excuse for a half-time dance I saw from the giant FruChoc tonight. The severe lack of effort and any hint of enthusiasm was galling! He/she looked like they were on road rubbish patrol on a chain gang, not partying it up on the big stage on a huge sugar high. I'm not sure if GF was under some sort of injury cloud, but if you are good enough to be on court, you should dance like you're 100% fit. Usually I would be pumped with a thrilling 1pt win, but I left the game tonight feeling empty, betrayed and emotionally exhausted. I was looking forward to getting my choc sundae from McDonalds on the way home, but that's thrown that idea right out the window. How can one eat chocolate after seeing such crimes against chocolate, and dance, and basketball. Please, please please get the FruChoc fired up and animated next game, or I will have no choice but to rip up my season ticket in protest.

The dancing FruChoc every week at half time is becoming a bit cringe worthy. Surely they have another way to sell their product that is a bit more engaging.

Usually I read the 1st comment of a topic before I read the original post. Usually sums up if I should read the actual post.

In this case PlaymakerMo hasn't failed me!

I liked that.

And yeah, I have fantasised many times about punching the fru choc square in the face. He has 1 move, and its not even very good...

You know the fans in Adelaide are happy about their basketball team again when the most disappointing feature of the night is a dancing ball of processed fruit coated with chocolate. Sack the Fruchoc thread is only one home game away...

A wins a win look at it this way we had players sick and injured

If this was last year we would have found away to lose by 20pts

Instead we guts it out and won

The halftime entertainment has hit new and familiar lows and there is a hope that it has bottomed out.

SACK THE FRUCHOC!!!!!!!!!!

At least whoever is in that costume can go about their business later knowing that very few (if any) of the crowd know who they really are...(though I have it absolutely on no authority it might be Boti trying to get a scoop).

next thing we know the floor wipers will run onto the court quickly and get the sweat in the first swipe and the refs wont demand a second floor wipe.

I always knew 6'er fans were fickle, but this is a new low.

Last year Sponers, I could understand the frustration.

This year 8 - 2, unbeaten at home, wants to tear up season ticket due to lack of haf time flair.

Well done.

There could be a half-time competition where the on-court announcer babbles into his microphone for a couple of minutes and anyone who can identify more than 5 words wins a prize!

(btw - MC, Thomo and Pure Silk - this is a tongue-in cheek comment. To everyone else, this is obvious)

Marcus, I don't think Chocolate Tears is seriously going to tear up their season ticket over a giant FruChoc with legs dancing worse than Peter Garrett ever has lol. Although......LOL

But he is right though, the half time "entertainment" needs to have more effort put into it that some clown trying to dance while literally looking like an oversized turd.....

You're seriously going to rip up your season ticket because you feel a fruchoc is not up to dancing standard?!?!?!?!?
Tell me again what the season ticket is for?

Bring back the Running Man Dance Mr Fruchoc !!!!

How about grabbing the Bakers Delights dancing boys from the Lightning games last season (are they still around ?) and have a Dance off with them and Murray and Mr Fruchoc....

That would be hilarious !!!!

By the way, I reckon Murray has been having a nibble on Mr Fruchoc just quietly… Hows that belly… no wonder he can't do his famous back flips and hit shots any more……..

And while I'm on it, how come Murray doesn't mix it with the kids in the crowd anymore…. Oh again with the belly issue……… No programs for the kids and no fun and pics with Murray….. Fun Police !!!!

Maybe we need a weigh loss sponsor and Murray and Mr Fruchoc could do a biggest loser WEIGH off each home game… Yes there was a pun there !!!

The overall break/entertainment times were a bit disturbing. Technology was an epic fail on kiss cam and dance cam ( both of which are cringeworthy anyway). The FruChoc is crap. The video before the game is boring and too long to play every match - we'd be better off going straight into 7 nation army before player announcements. I know that it's hard to plan something interesting for 5-10 minute breaks but surely there's something out there. Loving the games though and that's the main thing.
