Made a mistake Basketball wise going to United imo.

Big mistake as far as his career development goes, but must be nice not worrying about getting paid. Just about anywhere else would've been a better decision, though.

May ultimately cost him his possible chance at Boomers 2016.

The Crocs financial insecurity and overall precariousness must be concerning, but damn if you could get over that it's a fantastic place to play IMO. If i was young and wanted to show what I could do i wouldn't hesitate.

Every week we get to see what the likes of Norton, Steindl, Kay, Young etc can do and it's great.

MACDUB agree 100x, and I really enjoy watching Townsville play this year. Great place for young guys to make a name for yourself, but for more established guys looking for some stability and/or on-court success.... it would be a tough decision, no matter how much you love Townsville.

In a team that has such hot outside shooters it is difficult for the rat of the team to be involved. When it becomes about getting the ball to Kickert and Goulding it takes away free play and thinking and locks other players out of what they can bring. Blanchfield would have been a great fit for Adelaide but we have Ebi and thats working out reasonably well but ashamed to not pick up Todd with his your and athleticism as he would have been a good runner alongside DJ and Matty.

Getting paid 3 times what Townsville were able to offer to him and actually winning games will probably make him sleep ok at night, although if he doesn't become a major focus of their offense next season I see him moving on.

The lack of structure in United's offence seems to hurt him he gets very few touches especially with scoring guards like Holt and Goulding.United appear to free lance a lot as well they don't seem to run many sets at all

Right on paul.

Blanchfield had two great games to start the season, but he's not assertive enough. No, they don't run plays for him but he can still take the game on much more so than he's doing right now.

Re Townsville : I don't think he will be a star but I like the way Maynard plays, that kid has heart and determination and Djeric could be a star in this league so Townsville are producing all the time... When they turn up.

I think we had this conversation before the season started and I made the point that Blanchfield and Barlow wouldn't be able to co-exist on court and Barlow has been injured all year so we haven't had that problem and it's been fortunate for United that Blanchfield is there or they'd have Hadziomerivic playing the 3!

This season is doing zero for the development of Blanchfield as everything he could do in a Crocs jersey he has done at United just less noticably.

I hate seeing our star locals go to Europe but I think it would be best if Todd got himself out of the situation he is in and atleast gave himself a chance to get noticed again by Andrej
