Thanks for that Hodge. You forgot to mention that you deserve to be suspended for your disrespectful actions!

I must add that I have been a 36er's supporter for all my life as well so this isn't coming from a Hodge or tigers supporter and in my time as a basketball fan I have never seen a GM or owner come onto the court to confront a player!!!!

and tripple you also haven't seen a player bring the game into disrepute like that

Troll.

tigers have already been to brett maher court twice- they do not come back in January.

Well - I mostly listen to radio fivaa sports show which is 80% footy, but tonite is about 70% Hodge -sixers .They tried to get hold of Sengstock and Ninnis and Ben will be on tomorrow.
Saw Hodge and Ben on Ten news.

HAHA

Troll.

Loco that is correct. However, after his display, I dislike him now.

I still think we all created this monster. If people didn't continue to write bad stuff about him (either warranted or not warranted), then he wouldn't have never acted like that.

No offence meant sir - Sixer pride is all good by me.

To be honest, I felt pretty bad about it all after listening to Mahersy on Australia Live TV.com.

Then Sat happened.

The emotional rollercoaster continues...

Hey anon, with that list it sounds like you'd rather go see a fight than a basketball game!

The league might get some short term attention but it won't last. Anyone with a brain knows this stuff doesn't happen every week, so they aren't going to turn up on the basis that they might see a bit of biffo or some lame theatrics. They will turn up to watch the basketball or not at all!

If Hodge really gave a brass razoo about the league and building hype, maybe he should have tried to play better basketball and make some more spectacular plays?

But he didn't do any of that so he deserves no thanks from the league or the vast majority of basketball fans!

this entire thread needs a "dislike" button.

Can someone please explain how to use the quote function?

It does Loco (the rollercoater) So he was all wired up and over the top Sat nite, and today is back to jokes and the like, and the Media goes on about it,and will for a few more days.

Ballon boy:

(To do a quote thingy, start with '

^^^ EPIC fail.

It's blockquote to start (in between < and >) and /blockquote to finish (again, in between < and >).

Sense I did not make.

Quote fail I achieved.

Continue.

Also the NBL wants to target families. Fights and this sort of behaviour will discourage them from coming in the future

(Epic fail was pointed at your truly ...anon snuck in before I could post).

<blockquote>quote goes here</blockquote>

Exactly.

Anyways - fiveaa is my favorite show. So Wildy was he should be kicked out and sent back to America and Mcdermott was - what's the big deal- let's take some calls on it..and it was about 50/50 - those that thought the crowd was bad for families and won't go agen,and those that go to every game and love Maher thought Hodge was bad...

hereschenes I'm glad I wasn't the only one wondering how to do a quote, saw the explanation and thought, "hhmm... that looks too hard" lol.

LOL! Awesome, Loco. :) That's a Quote Win right there.

All good mate!

The man took things too far once the stomp occured. I wasn't bothered by the extra fist pumping in victory against a former club, it happens in most sports when you play them the first time.

The stomp is disgraceful sportsmanship. There is no way in hell an Adelaide player would do the same to Andrew Gaze and if they did, a majority of us would be ashamed by it.

abcdefgh

Yes, it worked, hooray.

Why target Brett Maher, that's what I want to know? It wasn't just at the Sixers fans or the club, it was specifically Brett Maher's signature? What's that about.... I don't care if he was racially abused, had things thrown at him etc. He deserved it, he asked for the reaction and he got it, don't now go complain about the reaction you wanted and knew you would get, the worst thing is he loves it, he thrives on the attention so the crowd probably did him a favour, he will be loving the publicity he is getting now. He sure aint going to get on the news for his shooting ability, so he's gotta make a name for himself somehow, pathetic!

And if Aussie basketball has come to the point where people support disgraceful behavior like that and are willing to accept it for the publicity it produces, that is a terrible place to be, but unfortonately, that probably is reality right now.

You should start a new Hodge thread and post exactly that.

He wanted to take it further with Ben in the rooms , after they game (they also mentioned on fiveaa).
Obviously he'd lost all control.
And tooo wired up to shoot foul shots and the like..

It's parochial, no doubt, but try that with Jacob.

Really.

No one racially abused #24 - that's utter face saving, race card pulling, drink the Kool Aid if you don't have an education bs.

(Epic fail was pointed at your truly ...anon snuck in before I could post)

Australians are already known as racists all over the world and it sounds more and more true.

Whoo Hoo!

Ok, back to all the Hodge talk......(I'm sure he must be number 1 on Google hits now!!!)

lol Anytime Ads :p love your work bro.

Before I forget, you honestly had some really, really good posts man. Appreciated them. Nice work.

Australians are already known as racists all over the world and it sounds more and more true.

Racism is disgusting. So far noone in the vicinity of the Tigers players race have confirmed that they even heard anything (not to say that it definitely didn't happen). Racism is such a hot topic though that if he made the accusation, people look to find the source and sort them out. IF it didn't happen, what a sad accusation to stoop to.......

You should start a new Hodge thread and post exactly that.

The racism card is a sign of desperation to divert attention from the real issue and it forms a second front to fight on.

Anonymous...no wonder you missed training yesterday when you spent the whole day on here posting utter crap!

Does anyone actually beleive that Hodge will remain at the Tigers for the rest of the season?

From reports that are popping up it appears, he still just trains when he wants to, most of his teammates dont like him and its even come to blows at times and he is likely to get worse rather than better based on the weekends episode.

My guess is he will be gone by Christmas.

Sorry I just really wanted to post that picture

Why couldn't Hodge just be a man and admit that he "over-reacted" in the heat of the moment?
He just may have got some credibility back.
To come out with the lines about racial taunts seems strange when you look at our own 2 imports- surely they would have been offended if this was fact.
The NBL would not be as exciting without the black Americans playing and we respect them for that.

All right, great thread for tips, now for the linky party!

The Adelaide crowd reaction barely surprises me at all..... i mean just go and watch juniors on a friday night to see how some spectators act and its amazing how the shit that starts at grass roots filters all the way up to national league.

I'm hoping Anstey drops him with a massive elbow this week at training.

Thought I would test this quote thing out!

Why couldn't Hodge just be a man and admit that he "over-reacted" in the heat of the moment?

I'm glad this thread has been posted. I'll begin by saying i am a 6ers supporter. But first and foremost i'm a sport supporter.

I was at the game and i believe the actions of some of the spectators to be disrespectful and unsportsmanlike. "Booing" is unsportsmanlike and uncalled for. But then i should have expected this when the person who sold me my tickets told me " now your sitting behind the tigers bench, you know what to do." Great attitude......

Secondly, i was disgusted at how quickly Adelaide fans can turn!!! Now i know he his actions when he left were poor, but lets just remember if he had of been paid, he would still be here and our team would be sitting alot higher on the ladder. We all know he cant shoot. Last year it didnt matter, but last saturday it was the biggest deal in the world.

Thirdly, we all know Hodge loves to run his mouth, we all know he's childish and has a questionable attitude. so get over it!!! throwing things and literally trying to jump over security gaurds to attack him is disgraceful. As a born and bred Adelaide person, i was emabrrased by the majority of spectators. Its just a game! Be angry at some of the coaching decisions and poor performances on court by our players!!!

Lastly, the publicity this has brought NBL is priceless. As many of you have mentioned, NBL would NEVER have even made the local news if this wasnt to happen.

I think some people need to grow up!!

But then i should have expected this when the person who sold me my tickets told me " now your sitting behind the tigers bench, you know what to do." Great attitude...

'I hope this works. If it doesn't the very next post will have the words DUH!'

Doh!

Can some one explain the quoting theory even more easily for me :)

<blockquote>Put your quoted text here.</blockquote>

Don't mess it up as the forum currently isn't smart enough to automatically close unclosed tags and layout could break.

No offence "Easy" but there are different supporters out there in this world and my guess is you would be a Crows supporter. Someone that sits there sipping their Chardonnay until they start losing and then you bag your own players.
Very different to the passionate supporters (probably Port/Collingwood supporters) that were there at the game Saturday night who win loss or draw will always support their club and do whatever they can to help them get a win. Whether that means booing the opposition (which Hodge requested!), heckling the white "maggots" or going absolutely nuts when a player who turned his back on our beloved club, decides to insult one of South Australia's greatest players, someone who is loved and respected by all in Australia in our home stadium...
Mate, this is why you don't have season tickets yourself, because you are not a true blue Sixers supporter!

Oaked or unoaked?

I think we've had enough excitement for a few days and could probably do without a Crows-Port brawl being tacked on!

me, you misspelt duh.

Funny you should say that, I actually tried but it didn't come up for some reason.

Hey mate, just want you to know I'm a Crows supporter, I even sit in the members stand, and I agree with you. I was there booing, going nuts etc. just as much as anyone.

It seems my replys are not attaching themselves to the posts I replied to, spewing!

Rob, your new topic the other day was deleted as it largely covered existing ground and we already had a fair few Hodge topics.

When you reply to any post in a topic, your post is attached to the end of the thread after those that came before it. Hope that explains what's happening.

bah

I give up, hehe, i put it in between these things <> and it didnt appear.

meh... no one ever says anything worthy of quoting anyway lol

me, checked the code in your post and you are not even close to doing what I instructed?!

Here's what happens if I copy and paste the exact line I specified:

Put your quoted text here.

Definitely oaked Isaac!

Most Crows supporters I know (and there's quite a few of us at the BMC every week) would rather have a beer or a good red than a chardy.
