Dillon wouldn't be a bad fit at the Breakers with Jackson leaving.

oh dear.....trev's in for a surprise when he gets back from hol's.....Anstey's first play at getting gleeson to walk !

Gleeson won't care at all about Cam...but will be gutted about Daniel. What a fiasco. I feel for any team and teammates that get stuck with Cam.

Watching the grand final, the Tigers have a hell of alot of work to do to get anywhere near these teams.

It takes a he'll of a lot more than just talent on the floor to win a ring. It takes an incredible amount of organization and structure in the back office too, which the Tigers certainly don't have.

Seamus really left the club holding a grenade.

Sounds like Dillon to Sixers if rumors are true, not sure if it's what we need but would be upgrade on Herbert no doubt.

Hinder to Tigers. SSShhhh it's a secret.

They were released because they asked to be released. Tigers offered that to all players during the season.

Tragardh's offensive skills are outstanding. His rebounding and defense is poor, but one of the best offensive weapons in the league -- when he wants to be -- is going to be an asset on any team.

Regardless of the circumstances, Tragardh's transformation from offensive dynamite and MVP candidate to apathetic whinger after the Seamus fiasco makes you question his professionalism. Those ridiculous pseudo-tough-guy tattoos should have rung alarms bells. ;)

I think someone young like Dillon would flourish under Lemmanis and the circle of veterans like Bruton, Boucher, Corletto and even Vukona.
He would certainly be an asset to the Sixers in moving forward if signed.

And this is just the start - it sounds like many of them are looking to jump ship.

When you look at the chaos that the Tigers set-up became during the year, you really have to point the finger at the guys at the top. When so many things go wrong, it suggests really poor management at the highest levels.

Seamus did some damage, even if it was with the best of intentions as he saw it. However, he wasn't the only guy involved in running the club. Who were the others who seem to have avoided the blame and kept their jobs?

Trig will be in Adelaide next year...heard it hear first!

Tiger Watcher drops the bomb. Twin Tower frontline will throw some big challenges to opposition on defence. Where does this leave Ballinger, off the bench or off to tiger land.

I hinted at it 3 weeks ago that 6er's were active after a good big!!!

Expect Adelaide know more about Balls injury than we do...unless he plays for less than $60k he won't be back!


6er's will benefit from happenings at Melbourne as no one wants to play there...can't go into all of the reasons for this on a public forum but there is a lot more to with it than what it appears on the surface

What's the deal with signings? Does the two week rule apply for everyone or because the Tigers have officially let Dillon and trigger go, can they sign elsewhere sooner?

*insert gif of Corletto pissing himself laughing while rubbing his new ring*

lets hope Ballinger does finish in melbourne along with Herbie? Then you can have Trigger and all his crap SOS needs its head read if they think trigger is the answer the guy respects no one hates fans.Will avoid people so he won't have to answer them.Trigger could not defend the basket with a tank and poor GJ will be second behind him,good way to destroy his confidence.

Trigger to adelaide would be a nightmare for 6er fans. This is just a case of looking for quick fix, but this guy is not that good! Very selfish offensively and that about sums him up. We have DJ to force the issue, we need other guys that will play for each other.

God I hope that's not true Tiger Watcher...Marty is getting very desperate it seems...

TW has been right before, and he was saying there were players available that we didn't expect to be available - well before we found out about the Tigers exodus - and it's fair to say we didn't expect Trigger/Dillon to be available.

Unless he's jumping the gun on the information he knows, we should probably start getting the welcome banners set up!

Yeah, if you round out the frontline with someone like a Williamson as the import then the Trigger signing isnt all that bad. just like having Ballinger really with a little less range.

Our perimeter defense is what kills us, if that improves then so should our post defense.

If we have a really good scoring unit, we only need to be average defensively to notch up some wins.

I think we could be looking at a line up of something like the following;

C - Johnson/Trigger
PF - Import (Williamson)/Trigger
SF - Weigh/Creek
SG - Dillon/Bartlett/Ng
PG - Import/Crosswell

seen it first hand before and after games kids trying to get him to sign stuff it was a huge effort.ask him a question he would look at you as if to say wtf do you know.Homicide was the same.

1. Aaron Bruce
2. Import or Newley
3. Stevie Weigh
4. Import maybe Williamson
5. Johnson

6. Trigger
7. Ng
8. Crosswell
9. Ballinger (cheap)
10. Daley

----------------------------

Wasn't it suggested in a previous thread that a high level Aussie in Europe might be interested in coming back to 36ers, but only if they upgraded the talent on the rest of the team from last year so they could have a legitimate shot at winning the GF.

This may be the start of a grand plan to land a top end Aussie from Europe.

It could also be desperation, but either way any upgrade on last year needs to be considered a positive.

If other rumours are true, what about Grant as an import PF for the 6ers?

Would be great defensively to pair with DJ and possibly Trigger?

gee ild be more keen on an injury riddled burston and madgen then any of the other names being thrown around. at least they would fill a need and give us more balance. please burston, mads then 1 excellent point guard. hell no to bruce. has no self control and is reckless.

Adelaide's third wheel in the frontcourt now needs to be a defensive stud, presumably an import. Play Johnson and Tragardh 25mins and your import 30 minutes (even if brought off the bench) and you only need to play DJ and Trig 10mins together. That is doable and gives you a chance to keep oppo teams below 100.

After that use Weigh, Creek, Dillon, Crosswell and an import in the 1-3 spots in various combos, using Ng as an occasional impact player. The final spot can then go to a young big as a project, perhaps Tom Jervis?

yeah trig and dj together would really require us to add a 6'10+ strong defender. as long as he is strong and mobile i dont care.

im not sure how adding a 6'6 guy ( even if he plays taller) is gonna help us.

how we improve ( well could we get worse?) depends almost entirely on the point guard they bring in.

Ok here's the latest inside goss....Trigger is as good as signed at Cairns, Dillon is apparantly going to Gold Coast and Jason Cadee to sign with Sydney...another point guard for Sydney!
I think Shane secretly wants a team full of guards!!!

Panther32 if Trigger is going to Cairns is there a chance we could get Ian Crosswhite to add some rebounding muscle and grab DeLeon as the point guard. I'm not the biggest Adris fan but his enthusiasm would become infectious with his teammates and the fans would love it.

Trigger to Cairns = Loughton is done IMO
They will also need to replace Dowdell who may be retiring too

i would love a dj crosswhite combo but i don't see crosswhite loving it...

So you heard it here first, some very big names about to be named at Melbourne.Some uninspired EURO players coming back.rumors have it not been paid full money.Go tigers back on top again bye bye trigger fyou and your stuck up ways. KARMA got to love it

Karma+Tigers=LMAO

anon you must be great mates with trigger ask 2000 other members who will tell you the same thing the guy is a sook and very bad sportsman.Acts like the tigers only player yes mcpeake should have sacked his arse that way the rest of the players knew who was in charge .Any way god help who ever gets him if he doesn't get his way

Tigers - LOL!

When someone says looking to sign someone who int getting paid in Europe my mind goes straight to Greece. Pana would be paying Maric surely, so next up is Baynes. I would be surprised if he came home after a strong season though, time to cash in on that good form.

@anonymous360348....if Trigger was getting yelled at, it's because he wasn't pulling his weight, that's what bosses do if you're not performing.

crosswhite to tigers ...

Trigger tweeted to Bogut on the weekend when asked if he was going to Adelaide, that he wasn't sure and that hopefully a decision will be made by Wednesday...

With the new Player Ratings Points coming out today, it will be interesting to see how things develop...

Anstey, while saying he had yet to talk to Gleeson since taking on the role, said the Tigers would be looking in Australia and internationally to fill their roster but had already crossed former star David Barlow from the list. 'David is very happy in Spain but if he was to come back any NBL club who didn't speak with him would be crazy,' Anstey said.

Anstey said imports Myron Allen and Ron Dorsey, who is under contract, had indicated they wanted to return but he said the club was reviewing its roster ahead of the free agency and would not make decisions on players until late May.

Tigers staff have told me nobody seems to know who is boss or what's going on down there as the owners are trying to shaft Gleeson by making his position untenable but he won't leave unless they pay him out which Slepoy and Co won't do.

Funnily enough when Seamus was in charge despite all his crap at least he made decisions and you knew who the boss was!

New owners have not a clue how to run it and won’t tip in the cash to clear Gleeson out, word is Anstey told the players he isn’t sure if him or Gleeson will coach as the owners haven’t shown any clear direction on the issue as they won’t pay Gleeson out.

Looks like this club is about to completely fall apart unless they get a CEO in who will actual tell people straight down the line who’s in/out and get the administration right otherwise it could end up a team of SEABL/BIG V players plus 2 imports!

You would think the General Manager (Anstey) would be talking to the coach of the team before making changes.

Seems very strange.

Coach was away on holiday. It might be strange, but it might not either.
