Wish I had as many chances in life as Cadee seems to have in this team.

Nigeria falls over, martin called for the foul. Shocking call.

Sobey, you know what they do with trash?
They throw it out!

I've been liking the John Casey and Gaze commentary duo so far during the games

Sobey's tearing it up with all these big dunks.
How good is it watching him fly!

I thought no way he'd be able to dunk that with how far back he caught it, oh my.



Gaze good as commentator but horrible during his 2 years as the coach of the Kings!

I wonder what the TV ratings have been like for these boomer games

Hard to tell what the ratings are like - too many people would be sick of chasing them from channel to channel.

Probably pretty good as the Comm Games have been doing very well in the nightly ratings for 7 and these three games have all been played in prime time too.

They've been getting a fair bit of love from channel 7 having games shown in full even during prime time with other events on.
Hopefully alot have been tuning in. Like I said in a thread the other day, these games being broadcast live on mainstream FTA with a boomers team full of NBL players is imo the best promotion the NBL has had all year.

Casey commentating like he knows stuff. 'Walker didn't score anything in the games against NZ’ Thats because he didn’t play !

I tell you what would've been interesting... Goulding on that Nigerian team. Just to see how they would have fared. Maybe give them Sobey as well

Brandt and Walker did really good seeing they were bench players

"He's the sort of player you'd love to have on your team".
"Is he on the free agent list Andrew?"
"I think he might be. I'm not too sure".

Is it just me, or is Damien Martin done?
Looks 4 steps off the pace


I agree. Just as smart, tough, hard working, good hands, but is not longer quick on his feet.

Context please LV, who were they talking about? (I missed the broadcast).
I understand all of the Boomers at the Commonwealth Games, but Sobey, Brandt, Wagstaff, Martin and Newley, are free agents.

Why would Gaze need to know who the free agents are?
It's not like he does his own recruiting.

Gaze and Casey are a good commentating duo. Gaze needs to leave coaching and go back into the booth and replace the horrible Heal. Win/win for TV viewers and the Kings.

Andrew Gaze was talking about Kay ...and he read my mind..

I would expect John would have already known who is a free agent and may have been fishing for a slip from Gaze (JVG has stated publicly he consults Andrew on player selections).

It sounded very tongue in cheek from Drewy.
I'm thinking Drewy wants to sign Kay at the Kings.

"I'm thinking Drewy wants to sign Kay at the Kings"
not exactly insightful, pretty sure every club would pick up Kay if they could
