Why does this topic get created once a week?

Does anyone know what he has done?? and if these rumours are true?? and if this is true why not just cut him or give him a week to sort himself out or something and be honest and open about the whole thing

FFS!!!

I am hearing Maher to leave, Farley to leave...


NO!!! I can't take this much pain!

Where's the morphine???

Jonno, here's what I can gather from publically available information:

- didn't notice Farley limping or anything after the game on Wednesday night last week
- it was reported that he trained OK on Thursday
- he flew to Perth with the team and a Wildcat fan said that he was on court for a pre-game shootaround (I assume, during the day?)
- an ankle injury had swollen on the flight and Farley was sent home (better to have it swell again then, rather than later on)
- the article in The Advertiser suggested to me that something was not quite right. I'm not the only one who wondered as there was a topic about it at the time.
- he's out for this week's games

I think there's enough there to wonder if something's going on, but nothing that says anything for sure. Certainly a few people hinting at more though, but those may not be factual.

I think its time to rebuild at Adelaide

I know you guys dont like to hear it

BUT

When ur a true supporter of the club....you will stick by em

If Farley wants out as well.....let him go

The 36ers will reign supreme again

What the hell am i saying

Too much Melbourne Heat and Beer making me Crazy....LOL

if farley leaves and maher leaves who would we be able to get to replace them??? and at the start of the season there was a rumor that horvath was going back to america after the season finishs does this mean we will possibly have three big contracts to fill?

man i'd just love to see Darren Ng as a permanent starter next year.

Farley's attitude from what i hear is more to do with what is happening on the home front than with the actual team harmony.

He is not injured from what i understand, his ability to play without distraction is leading to the actions he is currently taking.

After this i doubt that he will ever be seen in the NBL again.

It's clearly over for Farley. Deserved or not, he has been made the scapegoat for this season.

Phil, AGAIN, has managed to take the focus off himself for the dreadful season that Adelaide have had.

There's always a sacrificial lamb towarsd the end of the year. This year it's Farley.

hey ive played injured before you can strap an ankle and ice it after the game. Players are too soft these days. No Heart.i agree Rest slightly injured players towards the end of the season when your on Top not when your fighting to make a playoff spot.

"man i'd just love to see Darren Ng as a permanent starter next year."

He is a great player, awesome 3pt shooter and i was very happy to see him back as a Sixers again but he is not starting 5 material. Honestly, he is incompetent at bringing up the ball and always gets turnovers when his doing the PG job.

He is a shooting guard not a point guard and he only really has one shot too his entire game.

I'm getting ready for a debate...

Just a thought:

If Farley was finished with the Sixers for the year and was not actually injured, wouldn't you think he'd be pi$$ed off enough to not show his face around the stadium ever again? Yet in the Advertiser this morning there's a pic of him and Copeland sitting on the sidelines "nursing their ailments".

It would appear to me like he's legitimately injured despite all the rumours and inuendo and will be back in a week.

On a side note, it appeared to me on Talking Hoops like Phil was blaming their unspectacular form this year almost purely on injuries - seems a bit far fetched considering they've been ugly all season before the recent spate of injuries. More blame shifting? If so that's disappointing.

Dissapointing yes, but expected.

Yea, it also says in the paper he will be back in 2 games so surely if they were trying to get rid of him they wouldnt be bringing him back in 2 games and he wouldnt be at training watching them if they didnt want him around, and if he wernt injured he would be annoyed i'd guess. So maybe the injury is legit, which i hope is the case, or they have sort of suspended him to get himself together and are going to give him another crack next week

sawmeinhalf/jonno - Farley's contract would specify certain obligations when injured. i.e. - be at trainings, do re-hab etc etc. If he just decided to stop showing up he might be considered in breach of his contract and the Sixers would have a case against paying him the rest of his contract out.

If I gave notice at my job today, I would still have to turn up to my job for the next two weeks even though it would be awkward for everyone - if I didn't, my annual leave and other entitlments might be withheld. Same deal with Farley

You are a Doctor......why would you give notice, you must be on $250K PA......

Lol!

I think the injury is legit, flying back from perth so he can hopefully rehab quicker makes sense. I just think he is being a bit soft. As for his contract, at the end of the year i think he may go but now what happens to brett is a big factor. Also is cortez available?

If he leaves will he really be missed by the:
a. Fans (because of his apparent attitude and lack of effort)
b. Team (because of his lack of effort.
c. The Owner (because of his off court attitude and problems)

Don't forget - Darnell is now naturalised - would like to come back to Adelaide (family loves it) and is (IMO) a better all round player.

yea maybe we could have maher, farley or a import guard and darnell off the bench in like a copeland role??? or if mee wants to start go the old maher/mee backcourt with a import forward, but yea i personally would miss farley as im a big fan of his but yea i guess there isnt much chance on him being back next season with things ive read recently

Corey, I don't know that thedoctor is a doctor.

Saw it suggested by someone on OzHoops that Mee might be looking for a few less MPG and hasn't been getting that in Cairns.

I have said in a million times, D Mee will not play for Phil.

Would be a good fit for Adelaide but will not play under Phil.

Ninnis on the other hand he would play for.

rumor also is Mee to the Gold Coast.

Farley is becoming the scapegoat this season, Phil has done his magic again.

really the biggest mistake is wheeler, for the coin we have got very little production out of him. Another player that could have at least stayed on his feet and got some scrap points would have been better, or place some trust/cross fingers and play dodman.

Spot on #115171

not much to argue there 123abc i agree that he's not starting PG material but u cant say he doesnt have the ability as a scorer to be a starting SG.
