when is this game?

The truth hurts EC

Yeah clearly he's just stirring.

Yeah like he is just stirring when he lifts his elbows out. He is one of the dirtiest players in the league who copped so much flack during the grand final series and yet you think he is on a good thing here by promoting the game and giving up his time. I am promoting the game more than he is simply by buying a ticket and going.

Pretty stupid weekend to have the game isnt it, i mean Clipsal is on, I would normally go but ive had my clipsal tickets booked for months. Well done to the NBL once again for absolute moronic planning.

As to Ansteys commens on Melbourne been the sporting capital of the world perhaps we should take him to the race this weekend and put him infront of the starting line so they can run the idiot over, cause you know Melbourne would host one of the most successful racing events in the world wouldnt it...Oh wait we do!
Sydney averages more spectators to all sporting events...and Melbournes the only city in the world to seriously butcher a F1 race.

Skud it wasnt the NBL it was our fearless ex-leader Voldemort and his assistant who is organising the event. The only thing he has managed in recent times was the demise of the 36ers in his final years.

haha EC you fool, talk about taking the bait hook line and sinker - anstey is being a good sport and doing his bit to drum up some interest in the game

Its on on Sunday. Tip off 5:30.
Come and support Brett Wheeler

EC, you really are a complete and utter idiot.
Seriously, any half wit knows this is just a piss take to stir up interest in the game.
And yes, your really promoting the game more than Anstey is!!!!

Like I said, he rubs people the wrong way so perhaps I may have been more tolerant if it came from some one else. Then again, I doubt those words would have come from anyone else unless they were just as dirty. He could have commented about the game to generate interest by saying things like what a great idea to have this game and what a worthy cause it is for. He could have mentioned the time and effort that he and fellow participants are putting into this game. He didn't have to have a cheap shot at Adelaide by comparing it to Melbourne's sporting greatness. If people think his intention was good, his deliverance was poor.

If those comments drag an extra 500 people thru the door it would be great.

It's quite clear Boti has asked him for some comments to help the event get a decent crowd

EC,

Think about the idea behind the game, yes it is for an EXTREMELY good cause in Brett Wheeler, but the game is also a State of Origin game, so of course Anstey is going to pump up Victoria. It's comments like that, that is the basis for the whole SA vs VIC thing.

quick questions, you can get tickets at the door on the day i assume?

' Yes, you can get tickets at the door '
That was Brett Maher on fiveaa radio, just then.

He spoke about this game. ( gotta get anstey back for hitting him) etc
Also mentioned, part of his contract with the sixers is to still be involved with game nights.
(I can't remember if that's 1 or 2 more seasons, think he said 2 more.) As well as the july and january coaching clinics.

thanks for the help, good that Brett is still involved as we need a public face and he is known by everyone in SA even casual fans or non fans know who he is.

I think Anstey just reeled in a red and white snapper in EC

Hey Bluey you idiot when would they hold the game next week the AFL starts all the players start taking holidays If you think you could do better why dont you get off your arse and do something to help Wheeler.We won one more game than last season so is that his fault as well.

Joker we won one more game then last season in a more stronger competition.

Your kidding King James get back to me with stats that prove that.

There are no stats that "prove that" - likely just a consensus from coaches and players.

NZ were a better team than last year. Perth too. Dragons, obviously. Melbourne as well. Townsville improved. Wollongong did as well. And Adelaide. That a majority of teams with better rosters and Cairns/Sydney were obviously impacted by their financial situations, and Gold Coast were the ones that really fell.

EC, Anstey's just trying to fire up the SA-Vic rivalry to help ticket sales. I'm sure Boti or Phil asked him for comments that would help achieve that - can't see the big deal. I noticed someone else took it the wrong way over on Boti's original article as well.

After watching the game, what rivalry are we talking about? I went to see a comedy act that made me laugh hysterically. In fact it was so good to see the lighter side of basketball without the dirtiness that can some times spoil the game.
