Get rid of Hire, Kenny, Coocke jr and JP . Sign DJ , Gliddon and Weeks. Get a import like Childress but obviously younger. Someone who can create and score but preferably with a 3 pt shot.

I'm betting OP is not a Perth fan.

I think it was a deliberate duplicate thread in an attempt to trash talk.

Out: Gleeson. Pretty please.

Cody will never go to Perth with the way his old man was sacked

That was about 15 years ago, and I doubt anyone involved in the club at the time is still there. Is he that petty?

Mike attends games so I doubt it.

Walker is too old to keep. Cats need to build for the next 5-8 years and as such have to get their 30+ players in roster way down.

There are a few decent aussies coming out of college, if we could get 2 this year and DP Pinder over Vague it would be a good start. Landale, Cooks, Naar or McDaniel would all be very good NBL players.

Really need to be auditioning Aussie guards to fill the enormous gap Martin will leave and to a much lesser extent Kenny, as they both age.

How good is Bragg? By all means give him a chance to show what he can bring.

And it might be time to have a look at Daly from My Gambier. Reigning seabl gf mvp, he seems like the sort of team first on court leader that would suit the Wildcats. A potential replacement for Kenny.

God knows how you replace a player like Martin.

"God knows how you replace a player like Martin"

err - recruit a proven NBL coach that players like to play for who will attrack such players, then sign the players to long contracts - (like that guy coaching the hawks ATM) ?

The point is, there is no player like Martin.

Perth will recover they are a quality team not a budget team like Cairns.

Nostradamus

Daniel Johnson to Perth is like 90 percent is done. Trust me

90% done? What does that even mean? Has he signed just "Daniel Johnso" on the contract?

Cooke was improving a lot as the season progressed. He really isn't the issue - it was that they lost a top notch PF/C in Knight and didn't replace him. This off-season they have that opportunity. Nick Kay or Daniel Johnson would be very handy to fill that void. If we do get a top quality PF/C then I would be happy to keep Cooke. If we can't get one, then his import spot may have to be used on that.

Regarding the SF spot, Gliddon has been talked about and Devondrick Walker would be another natural suggestion given he was Perth's first choice before injury and his friendship with Cotton.

Corey Webster is another to talk about. Obviously he'd chosen Perth before the agreement that allowed him to play in Europe. Is he keen for an NBL return? One of the main criticisms of the Perth roster this year was a lack of the ability to create offense outside of Cotton. Webster would be a guy who could help address that.

"90% done? What does that even mean? Has he signed just "Daniel Johnso" on the contract?"

Hahahahha, give this man a funny tag!

What are many of you guys smoking talking about Cooke as a serious return. He was rubbish most of the year. The league needs players like Childress, Konger, Boone who can generate their own scoring and not need a team to fit around them. if last two seasons hasnt shown that Im not sure what sport your watching

Lol I thought DJ hate Perth

Tokoto has to go, he's not even as good at Childress as getting buckets and he also possesses no 3 point shot.

Maybe give the orginial import Walker a crack.

Cooke has to go. If you're gonna get a garbage man import, at least get someone who can make a layup or point blank shot! So many of them missed this year

Daniel Johnson can't play defence to save his life, don't know how he will go at Perth

So the Wildcats did a 6'ers. Ultimate irony right there.

Most likely outs

Hire
Walker
DKD
Bragg
Rhys Vague
Tokoto
Coocke

Maybe retirement

Jessie Wagstaff


Contracted
Kenny
Martin

One guy they should look at is Alex Pledger

bring in Byron Mullens to play centre, can't get a gig in NBA but Perth can pay more than G league.

mobile 7 footer who can shoot from 3

Is anyone here a member of the "Chat Chat" Facebook group?

Granted there are pot stirring Anons here, and not every post here is sane, the circle jerk conversations in that group are hilarious.

At least here there is some insightful commentary at times.

That FB group is like one big clueless red army love fest.

This is coming from a Perth fan as well.

Sorry "Cat Chat"

No I haven't seen it but the name comes from the old "Cat Chat" forum. It was awful but showed how strong the online fanbase is of the Wildcats as it was as busy as this site and that other site which sucks now.

The old Cat Chat forum was more meta though.

This new Facebook Cat Chat has the same name, but not the same posters or humour.

Are all clubs fan groups like this that bad?

It's worst. It's like the people you see commentating Today Tonight posts.

Ah okay, got you. Facebook type users would be a lot dumber so I can imagine the discussions they have on there. You're right, at least the old Cat Chat forum had characters not the dumb-dumbs that use Facebook.

And yeah, I think the two are analogous -- Today Tonight for older people is what Facebook is for the younger ones.

I disagree.

The Today Tonight watchers that are on Facebook are the worst.

But the Today Tonight watchers that are on Facebook and in groups like Cat Chat are the ultimate worst.

"Young" people generally aren't on Facebook.

Being on Facebook doesn't make you a dumbass either.

But there are a lot of dumbasses there.

The point is... avoid team facebook groups like "Cat Chat", unless you want a laugh.

Cats should of looked harder at GLeesons tenure. For two seasons straight the wildcats have played some terrible offense. Last year saved by Cotton from the wooden spoon. This year a joke at home in the last half of the season

Some of that poor team play surely must be attributed to gleeson not getting through to his team.

I know, it boggles the mind how he is untouchable or even not mentionable in terms of possible changes at the club.

It's hard to argue with wins and championships.

Yes he's had stellar sides to work with, but he's winning.

Could anyone win with his squads? maybe, but he's the one doing it.

Not anymore.

"I know, it boggles the mind how he is untouchable or even not mentionable in terms of possible changes at the club."

Do you mean from within the club or from the fans? I don't know too many fans that would be fussed if he got the boot. He gets defended because the criticism of him are unwarranted.

The club probably wants to give him one more chance to see how he goes with a new team. He probably deserves that much.

The fans seem to be overly defensive of him.
