Hope he has a bit more success than with the Pythons in HSH. Could really change the way the Tigers play and probably worth the gamble given their position on the ladder.

Thank goodness!! finally a good import signing that makes sense. He is a proven player and I dont know what the Tigers were think signing 2 rookie imports. TJ is unfortunately collateral as he is an outstanding shooter without good size and athleticism.

no idea what the tigers are doing.
tj campbell was a fan favourite, probably our best player this season so far!
williams can't shoot, it's just another player for the defence to back off on.
i am a melbourne tigers member and i had faith in the system al put in place.
it's a pity that he didn't even have the balls to wait until we had all 10 guys healthy on the court before he made this decision.
melbourne have played last years grand finalists and new zealand, in each game we have had atleast one guy not suit up and yet we had still improved in each one.
yes the kings game was a shocker, but we can live with that.
soft by al westover!

Whilst he probably adds something the Tigers need in ball handling ability which Campbell seemed to struggle with, he does not add anything as a perimeter threat.

The Tigers needed to make change, I just don't think they have made enough change, both in personnel and team structure.

This move makes no sense for the Tigers. A do-it-alone drive and (not) dish player who clearly has outstanding skills, but could not shoot to save himself, does not give them the playmaking PG and exterior shooter they need.

That said, Corey will be even more effective as a slasher with the new no-charge zone.

Will be very interested to see how it turns out.

Trying desperately to parlay this announcement with a joke about Julius Hodge developing a new nickname for himself to boost his re-employment chances: 'Hodge-icide'.

#nopegotnothing

I doubt he will be cleared by tommorow for the game!

Then Devendorf , with Smith likely to be at the Kings.

While he has no range, perhaps he'll get to the line? I think it was either the guys on Overtime and/or Boti that drew attention to the fact that Cairns and Wollongong are well-placed and owe some success to FT disparities (whether by kind refs or having penetrating PGs).

and they keep Devendorf..... WTF.....

McPeake... screwing with my fantasy team again....

Pleased to see Homicide back in the League as he's good to watch with his flair and mo-hawk. Certainly helps bring in the crowds.

The Tigers have been on it for about 10 days now - i think his clearance is all ready to go... Hodge too? That's what I have been told!

Hodge too? Seriously?! That would explain reports of him being on his way. I find it hard to believe Melbourne would bring him back, he wasnt a popular figure last year.

McPeake was apparently a fan though, and the man who signs the cheques ultimately gets the final say. Fascinating.

"Overtime" last nite - given that Henry said 'No.'
to Homicide and Hodge and Donta is "under consideration" at SYD. Then JVG thought MEL would do Homicide and Hodge.

Fair enough. The two worst jump shooting guards could end up at a team that desperately needs jump shooters!

McPeake or another hair brained idea by Westover?

I may be wrong, but i just cannot see Homicide giving up his dribbling ways, to cut off the ball , and lay screens as part of the Tigers motion shuffle offence. Surely this now will be the end of Westover running this offence.

Interesting Homicide back in the league after not bothering to collect his season MVP trophy. Many thought that was his good bye kiss off to the NBL.

bloody hell, i feel sorry for tj
not sure if im happy bout this

Hodge might not have been a favourite in Melbourne but he draws crowds.

Homicide will also draw crowds.

How two ball demanding, driving imports with no jump shots will work on a team of bigs that should dominate the rebounds and work well with some long boom shooters will be interesting to see.

Still these two will get their points no doubt, be interesting to see which bigs adapt to a new style.

Remarkably, Homicide has been cleared already to play tonight's TV game. Great for the league (and Melbourne). Makes things a little more interesting for Perth.

And here's a video of Homicide training with the Tigers - all looked to be based around getting the bigs easy inside scores. Thought I saw TJ Campbell in the background still training with them?

Isaac,

Good Spot, that was definetley TJ.

Not to sure what this could mean.

Probably just hanging around and staying fit before he flies out or finds another gig?

When they cut Grizz he got a phone call from Westover chewing him out about not turning up to training. Only when Grizz told him that Seamus had cut him did he calm down. Perhaps Seamus didn't call TJ this time

Pimp nigga

Mookie you are a racist douche. Get this racist crap off the forum! It is not a good look
