but they did get beat

Yeah ive heard that Dusty will be playing also

hmmmm does anyone hear "salary cap"?

Biggest offseason get of the year.... Boom.
Announcment in less than a day.

Jason Reardon from Geelong Supercats.

nothing signed

dont think its a done deal yet.

mae be a chance for other clubs to pounce.

will be playing for the Rockets in SEABL tournament next week, consider it done!

spoke to him personally last night, Bendigo tourny or not, far from done. has not signed.

I hear there may be a second club that has shown interest, no firm offer yet but disussions have begun.

Soon to be a third and a fourth.

No signature no deal.

Was going to guess Reardon after this topic was put up. Has put up good numbers in the SEABL and might've been an outside shot at an NBL bench. Wonder if one reason for him to head this way is to try for a spot with the 36ers?

36ers will sign him, Woolocott favorite. Anyone want to give me odds?

170057 - Given the success Jye Watson had with that path...

Have never seen him play, but I always assumed SG/SF - maybe a bit like Jason Williams at ABL level? Had a look around: 189cm, 90kg guard.

There was a topic on this site ages ago about the Perth Wildcats offering him a contract. Google "jason reardon" and you'll find it.

#170104,

Watson got the opportunity (Pt Lincoln camp) but wasn't good enough. Maybe Reardon figures if he gets that same opportunity he will prove himself.

Fair enough. And there's always the possibility (albeit a long shot) he could turn out to be a diamond in the rough like Redhege (sp?).

its heating up now, North, Centrals, South and West have all had chats with Jason.

Looks like North may have a bidding war on their hands.

Is there anything else that is tying Reardon to Adelaide.
He is an excellent shooter and top defender. Very complete player, great leader. Any team that picks him up will automatically jump into finals contention.
Extremely surprised though that he would leave Geelong!

Whats there for him in Geelong? The supercats are in deep S%&t right now.

Owusu, Cox, Med(can not play)head & Leonard are the only signed players... season very close.

HELP US!!!! Call the SCATS Office for a gig!

How wrong you are !!! You actually know very little about SEABL players.

Firstly Supercats.com.au is the most comprehensive ABA website in the country and is up to the minute with the latest factual information about the team. It is kept this way because the club respects its members.

Secondly, Geelong will only loose 2 players from last year's SEABL Championship team to the Big V division 1, being bench players Keith Harrison and Chris Brown.
Jamal Brown, as we all know, was released after last season and replaced with Brad Bridgewater who is taller and more athletic than Brown.

Reardon, has not made any commitments in Adelaide, or anywhere else as yet and is still likely to remain in Geelong.

Finally, Jamie medved has an ABA National Championship ring and three SEABL Conference watches and you don't !!! :-)

Have a nice day.

Mark Leader has done a good job in the past with plenty of talent on his team. If Jason Reardon does leave Geelong expect players like Owusu, Cox and Medved to get extra minutes. No one in the Supercats team last season played more than 37 minutes. Cox shared point duties with club legeng Leonard and both only played around 22 - 25 minutes. This team will still be very competitive and push for a 4th straight SEABL title.

Gee, that's friendly!

Happy to have basketball fans from everywhere contributing here. If there's likely to be more talk on this topic, might be worth starting a new thread about the Supercats specifically though.

Reardon a Rocket, signed today!

yes signed today, stating his intentions to play for the Rockets. Will join the team next week in Bendigo's SEABL tournament and will move to Adelaide after that. Keep an eye out for press release early next week.

As of yesterday, i can confirm that Jason has signed with the Rockets for the coming season.
To the Supercats Board, What fools you are to let such an outstanding player of Jasons level leave your team. You should have pushed for his NBL career more than what you did.

Bulk up, He is 6 foot 3 and 94kg. He is alot stronger than many guys his size and is able to play 1 through to 4 in the SEABL. If he is serious about going to the next level then he needs to work on many aspects of his game but he is certainly able to bang with guys his size. Nice shot. Can create for himself but his biggest assett is being able to bring others into the game. He was one of the most unselfish players on a somewhat selfish Supercats team.

As far as the board goes I have heard many things ablout looking after their own. And that doesn't mean the Supercats. I don't know this for sure but apparently the players don't get along with the board.

Wondering what the North juniors think of this. 35 - 40mpg gone from the 2/3/4 spot. Guys who have been loyal to the club will be fighting over the scaps again.

IMHO shows that Bear isn't able to develop players, but rather, needs to buy a championship.

Just when Rowe and little Burdon were beginning to make strides, they bring back Mapunda and then go grab Reardon...

Sour grapes if you ask me, damned if you do damned if you dont!
Fact that Forestville, West and Norwood wanted Reardon as well means if they didnt get him their closest competition would have been one up on them.
I agree a lot of talent but people said that about them last year and said it couldnt work and they ended up with the title.
As for Rowe and Burdon im sure they will still play, last year was their real first opportunity to play and think both will have good seasons this year.
Finally the comment about developing players, i watched north closely last year and everyone of those players was better than the year before. To win in the ABL you need the horses, no one has one in recent times without having some studs in the group. if their program can attract talent then so be it. i think 2 out of their entire squad is not a North junior, not sure how many other teams could say that.
I say good luck to them and im looking forward to watching this ABL season as i did last year.
Especially after another painful NBL season to watch.

1. North have 2 players in their side that are not North Juniors. I dont think any club to can lay claim to this.

2. Little Burdon and Rowe would not even be 21 yet... They wont peak at basketball for another 4-7 yrs, if they stick at it. In the meantime I'm sure playing in championship winning sides, making important contribution to those sides and playing with players with the likes of Rychart, Reardon, Burdon, Hambour, Ziggy etc. wont hurt them too much ;)

Kentzer,

Some facts my friend: Jase is 6'1" in his basketball shoes. Jase is probaly one of the more selfish players on the Supercats team and will frequently take the glory shot rather than dishing to the open man. The Supercats board, coaches and team have nothing to do with him leaving Geelong, as he has some personal reasons for leaving.

Having said that, Geelong is very sad to loose a player of this calibre and the rockets may consider themselves lucky to have him. A very personable fellow and great with the kids at clinics and camps and such.

O.k. just the facts, Knowing Jase pretty well and communicating on a regular basis, Jase is taller than 6'1. He is between 6'3 and 6'4. Just the facts. Get them right.

I suppose everyone's entitled to their own opinion.
