wow - i'm so underwhelmed by this post/topic i'm speechless

the dragons beat the 36ers in a meaningless pre-season game and that means they're going to be better than Adelaide?

Sh!t the Dragons beat us in a trial game. Dont even turn up this year Sixers we don't have a chance.

This trial game had meaning. Ninnis did want to win so do not make out as if it was normal. Ninnis did the pre season for the dragons when they started badly or am I wrong. Bad choice.

If Mal Hemmerling had money to blow on basketball like Mark Cowan does, I could do the same song and dance about the Sixers too.
Decent win by the Dragons, amazing to see the young guns playing better than the likes of Ingles and Worthington. Good sign for the team.
Shame that there isn't a minor championship for pre-season games; I'm sure Mark Cowan would love to put a trophy next to those wooden spoons he's been collecting.

Sixers are crap and will come bottom 4. Over rated. Yes man for a coach. Has beens for players. Aaron Bruce will think what the hell has he got himself into.
Crows are Crap, Power are crap - what a great state of affairs, behind by 30 minutes on the clock but 30 yeas behind the times. At least your girls bball and netball teams are great to look at, and can play as can your soccer team.
Bottom 4 in no particular order will be:
Sydney
Gold Coast
Townsville
Wollongong

Thanks dandy man for your ramblings now please rack off and talk rubbish on Gaze site someone might even think you are clever there.
Whilst has been dissapointing pre- season programme I think Scotty might have been better working team hard on systems etc due to diff. arrival times etc and much less pre season games. Really pleasing though Luke is improving and scoring 15-20 points now as we know Ballinger will do his bit and Bruce is exactly what we need and showing it to support Brett .
I never expected big numbers or things from Holmes Winitana or Hill just to do their little bit.
So really how far we finish will depend on Tyndale and his scoring and defensive ability. But certainly wont be in btm 4
the core group have been playing together for a cppl of years now maybe the difference.. tynedale has been in aus for 2 weeks and bruce 3 weeks, brand new team and when they will gel b tough to beat especially at home

Yeah I'm not too worried about this loss. A positive to come out of the game is that its Good to see Hill knocking down 3's. If he can add that consistently to his game then he will be a great force.
I think the Sixers should really be looking to finish the regular season in the top 4. Anything below that would be a disappointing end to the regular season. However, we could still win it if we don't finish in the top 4 I think.

Pre-Season, Summer-Camp or Aussie Cup
Whatever you want to call it Adelaide dont have the depth to match the top 3
You have lost your sharpest shooter in the Docter and Hodge
When Herbert can have 20.....Wheres the defence?
Im not saying they are a bad team all i referenced that they are not as good as everyone is talking about atm

its pre season, how about you talk it up dandy when the season has started. or near the end when your getting done for salary cap. or when your club goes bankrupt and you fold.bottom 4 my left nut. Which ever vic club you follow does not change the fact you are a tool as stated in the above post.

I'm a dragons fan and even I think this is a stupid topic.
36ers are going to be good. When they start to gel, they definitely have the talent to challenge top 4 (although it will be hard.)
My picks:
Melbourne
South
Perth
Adelaide
New Zealand
Cairns
Townsville
Gold Coast
Wollongong
Sydney
Although 4-9 could go anyway.

Herbert scored 20+ against us last year in the regular season - he's not a bad player.

Agree with Dandy man - but bottom 5. Same old same old, no reason for difference from last year.
Blue boy, why are so many of you Sturties such complete and utter tools?

Whilst the original poster failed bigtime, he is right that the dragons are ahead of adelaide. the top 3 are really infront of the pack right now in ters of depth and talent. but injuries, chemistry and other mishaps can allways even the scales. to right off a team like adelaide or breakers is stupid.

Dragons > 6ers because Cowen's checkbook > Hemmerling's.
Of course they are the better team, they easily have the better lineup. They will underachive if they don't make the grand final series.
But you are still a tosser Oldschool. No point winning if you can't do it with class.
If I were to say the Tigers are better than the Dragons, is that really a particularly insightful comment?
