Anyone see the sit down goorjian banner that was told to be put down??? ... we spent 45 minutes on that thing and 25 bux haha ... Apprently not allowed to put banners up.. .personally i think its disgraceful.. We have emailed the club to voice our opinions! ANy one else have opinions?

RMM, what did it say, "Brian, PLEASE come and coach here!"?

No mate it said... Sit down Goorjian... Dont think id like that ballsack with ears coaching here everyweek. Not sure if the club can afford to resurfac the court every week after the trench he digs walking up and donw the court!

OMG Sicksers showed some heart for about a quarter. Seriously it was impressive when they did it but it was too short lived. I especially liked the way Davidson got stuck in and hassled. It turned the game. Only the rest of the team generally couldnt follow suit. Maher and Ballinger obviously helped. Ng had moments of specialdom. but the rest played like they were 50 y.o and had no urgency about the game whatsoever. Sydney were too poised under pressure. Oh yeah Motts was inspirational at times.... yes i love u Motts. Basically Sixers were outclassed, and u have to admit it no matter how much u hate the coach. ps, whats with orthington, he dishes it out but hates it when he gets it back.. What a soft cock..

I meant "Worthingtom". Dont hate me coz im drunk

Woody, Worthington's like that with almost every aggressive forward in the league. I'd have him on my team though.

As for that banner, to borrow an oft-quoted quote from the Flying High quotebook, "Surely you can't be serious."

Worthington spends more time on his back than half the hookers in SA ...

Why, when making a run in the last 5mins, would you bench Motts - who was causing massive probs at both ends, to put on coops, who hadnt been having a particularly good game, and gives us nothing on offense ... that sub with 5mins to go killed us .. just didnt make sense ..

From what I saw, Davidson and Ballinger were the solid contributors. The rest had precious moments, but that was not nearly enough. This is the fault of both the player and the coach.

From mid way through the second quarter Sydney had their bench on. I think this is the main issue here. Depth. Sydney and a few of the other sides in the top eight go 10 deep. Adelaide do not.

24/30 down in the third quarter it is hard to come back from that and they nearly pulled it off against the top team. Did Sydney take their foot of the pedal? I think that the 36ers did shoot a hell of a lot better in that second half. 32 points to half time really hurt them.

My 2.5 cents worth.

Maher
Davidson/Ng
Copeland
Ballinger
Motts

Where the only 5/6 combo that worked well on court all night.



But in saying that Sydney really just got caught napping in cruise control being 20+ up for a nice chunk of the game.

Ha Ha Moses.

By the way: I am serious, and stop calling me Surely!

DJ, I'm watching the replay on Ch 9 and have to agree that that was the best combo. No one else really gave them much. Phil kept putting Chappell back in for Copes but I think Copes was far more fired up and passionate which would've been crucial when they were a chance.

....and another thing, the music was OK. Good job Skip. I loved 'Sadie the Cleaning Lady'. (still waiting for 'Three Blind Mice')

Question, I destinctly heard some 'old peoples music' in the third quarter. Was this intentional or was I just hearing things. (That happens at my age....)

More banners the better if they aren't blocking the view. Remember the Rees boys, and the old banners up on the concourse "You may have your Pennisi, we have a Stiffy", etc.

Surely they haven't disallowed banners?!

Yeah, they've disallowed banners Isaac. It was on the support stand for the Apollo restaurant, in the South East Corner of the Stadium. Not blocking anyone's view. 4m x 1.8m big.

The message read:
SIT DOWN
GOORJIAN

Nothing offensive. No rude drawings, etc. Just the words "Sit down Goorjian".

We put it up, and one of the white shirted Dome staff members came over, checked it, said should be OK. A few minutes later, he came back and said that the "stadium owner" has said that no banners can be hung, and then pointed out Daniel, the stadium manager as the guy who gave it the thumbs down.

RMM wrote an email to the club last night about it, and we're hoping to be able to put it up on the 12th of January for the next Kings/36ers game.

Skip, you saw it (for the 3 minutes that it was allowed to hang. Your comment/thoughts?

If there's a no banners rule, then why are Jarvis allowed to have their banner hung on the railing on the concourse level? ;)

Isaac, will the club search for a new import this week as they have a handy week until the slingers game which they should win? i feel they will.

Remember Boti's article the other day - it said that they were yet to make contact with a new import, but did suggest that they had been looking (e.g., emails, had CVs, etc).

Kev, can't say that I agree with that decision at all. As long as it's not offensive and doesn't block anyone's view, banners are part of the personality of the game and should be encouraged (look at the AFL for example).

Another dodgy decision that has changed back and forth over time is regarding musical instruments (remember the Razorbacks fans in the 2002 grand final, that was amazing). I think Rookie from the Seals last year has sometimes been allowed to bring in a trumpet and other times not at all? He sits with the cheer squad and hardly plays it incessantly or anything. Let him play IMO.

Remember that game when they handed out those annoying little trumpets? That was probably the funniest game I've ever attended.

I could not understand if they decided againts replacing him now! Bring in Josh Pace! Surely Mal would of relaised that its time, although certain members have questioned the clubs ability to succesfully perform this process

BTW, was last night the first time in a while a good number of people have given the team numerous standing ovations for big passages of play?

Isaac, does that mean the bench too?

I know I was on my feet along with my brothers during the fourth quarter comeback - our section of the crowd is always on tv as well. If you see a replay of Ballinger's dunk you can see the fans at the bottom of the screen immediately get to their feet - that's us!

Kev,
Maybe if you paid what Jarvis do you could have your banner too?

Maybe if they want to keep fans coming to the games, and get the crowd excited and involved, they would let fans like us display our banners.

We had several people come over to us after the game and ask why it wasn't up all game, and when we had a chat with Mahersy and his wife after the game, he also expressed his disbelief that it wasn't allowed to be up.

"RMM wrote an email to the club last night about it, and we're hoping to be able to put it up on the 12th of January for the next Kings/36ers game."

Kev, don't put up the whole email. That'd be one big bed sheet!

Classic Moses!!

I'll pay that one, Moses. :)

KG.

Moses parts water, WIBF, where were you when Motts had the trots?
