Hahaha op love the sass

It's been nearly 12 months since winning against Sydney.
Well done.

Thanks Perth wilcats for winning the nbl cup..

These meaningless remarks come from underachievers.

I love the synergy:

March, 2020: Sydney hand us the title by opting out.
March 2021: Sydney hand us the cup, but at least this time it was done on-court.

Thank you Paul Smith.

With how much the Victorian economy is suffering due to lockdowns (apparently...I live elsewhere) it seems hilarious that the Victorian government will be handing $250,000 to a WA and QLD team and potentially another $50 to NSW...sure that will go down well with local shop owners.

Perth given softest drew.. played less games where fatigue is a signifart factor.. kings doing them favour breakers really disadvantaged... Brissy just faded ... getting lucky perth - about time you won something- legit - only one nbl cup - no dynasty there

Perth most successful team in pro sport history? Must be

Anon 843 sounds salty.

Cats played 3 games in 5 days and beat a full strength Melbourne (Goulding did his calf that game)

Weren't United down Ili for that one?

Thanks Trev

Yes, he was injured but I really don't think he would of moved the needle that much

[Cats played 3 games in 5 days and beat a full strength Melbourne (Goulding did his calf that game)]

Down Ili and CG got injured during the game

Let's run through some of Perths games

Played SEM minus Broekhoff, Gibbo, Pineau.... got done by 25.

Played SEM minus all those guys and Sykes.... won by a point

Played United without CG and Ili... won by 4

Played Sydney without Martin and Cooks... won by 7

Played NZ without Patterson, Corey Webster and Rob Loe.... won by 10

Well done to Perth. You can only beat whoever fronts up to play you

But on the other hand, let's not pretend this is some grand or super impressive accomplishment.

Cherry picking doesn't support the cause it just makes you look sour.

Let's not rest now we have the Cup.
Let's hammer Adelaide tomorrow:)

Remember the idiots who sooked that Perth will be bad this year and channel their frustrations at LK?

Then Perth does well and they stick the finger at Melbourne, Sydney etc.

Perth fans. Every. Single. Year.

" Who blamed LK for Perth not being a good team? You're heading into LV territory a bit KET."

Nonsense - a good example would be the vitriol about Perth deciding to avoid the NS process and sign Mooney as an import.

And agreed re above - anytime you have Cotton you're in playoffs contention no matter what and add in a well oiled machine situation and it becomes comical to 1) believe Perth to be closer to wooden spoon than top 4 and 2) to be sooking about expedinture of other clubs when your club has every capacity to spend should they deem it necessary and have done so when necessary in the past

I didn't complain.

I didn't think the Wildcats would make the playoffs this year.

However I wasn't to know :
- Mooney was so good. I was also wrong about the missed NS opportunity. We now know why they didn't want to risk Mooney in the open NS Market.
- Blanchfield would be so consistent.
- Wagstaff to step up as well.

Pre season predictions probably didn't factor in that half the teams would be struck hard by injuries, and Perth would stay healthy and play most of their early games against those opponents.

Cry us a river LV.

Leave out some details though like Perth playing 10 straight games on the road with an 11th game today.
Injuries suck but ALL teams cop them at some point.

LV too stupid to realize his team played the exact same teams as Perth did, lol

Let's run through some of Melbourne's games

Played SEM minus Sykes, Broekhoff, Gibbo, Pineau.... got done by 7.

Played a shit Perth team that's no good according to LV... got done by 4.

Played Sydney without Martin and Cooks... won by just 3

Played NZ without Patterson, and Rob Loe.... won by just 3


Perth also playing with a banged up Cotton & Norton... but these guys just suck it up and keep fronting up night after night.

Melb can't even win it when the whole NBL Cup is rigged in their favour with every game a home game and playing against opponents who have been on the road for 5 straight weeks, and in NZB case... the whole season.

LV the biggest sook in the country, lol

I don't really understand this Perth v Melbourne war.

Both were, in my opinion, expected to do well, and they’re the top 2 teams. Neither have performed under expectations, and in this league teams will register some losses regardless of circumstances.

Similarly a team like Adelaide will register wins regardless - and they have.

Going into when it really counts, I don’t really know who would win in a Perth v Melbourne series. Possibly goes to the team with home ground advantage. Ofcourse as we saw last year that isn’t everything.

No "excuses" need to be made. Too much shooting from the hip around here by people being too big for their britches.

Criticising a team that’s 10-4 or 8-4, come on, that’s comical.

Is "war" the right term for it though?
Was Road Runner at war with Wile E. Coyote?

I mean ... "a bit embarrassing that Perth aren't doing better"?
Really??

Perth did well in demolishing Adelaide in the second half yet still allowed Adelaide enough cup points to avoid last place.
Good result for both teams in this game.

True that. But poor coaching and defense allowed a 19-0 run.

No 6er fan should be looking at the 1.5 points more we had than Cairns.

We should be lamenting the 2-6 record.

For a tgeam with so much promise this is just unacceptable.

As someone that went to his first Wildcats game in 1986, I'm struggling to remember a version of the Wildcats that work harder than this mob. The offences are superb and utilise Cotton both as a focal point and decoy. They are working beautifully together and executing so well that a bit of me really hopes that if a new import comes in, that the chemistry is not ruined. Bugger the import, just get Nick Kay back!
