Good work!

Great work Nat, Id hate to think how many hours you spent collating and entering all this information, definately a great resource that Ill spend a bit of time playing with in the future

Perth Wildcats,
Stadium Perth Stadium, Perth, Western Australia

*Perth Arena

haha.. sorry first thing I went to.

Also I have a heap of Wildcats newspaper articles from the mid nineties somewhere and a bunch of posters, probably not in the best condition, I will try to dig up and scan or take a photo if you are interested?

Very good otherwise, you must know more about NBL history after compiling all of that than anyone in the world?

Annon 379554

Not yet, they will be done this weekend, in the meantime AndTheFoul links to the wiki, if you go to our season fixture here http://andthefoul.net/201213-nbl-season-fixture and select any team, will have depth charts, the players on the depth charts will link to their Wiki pages.


And yep, fixed the Perth Arena this morning..
If you have anything, sure. Send me an email [email protected] anything old is welcome!

Love the site.

The Adelaide 36ers page included retired jerseys for:

#15 Al Green
#9 Ray Wood
#8 Peter Ali
#4 Darryl Pearce

I think those jerseys were at some stage informally retired, but were then unretired. Mahersy and the Chairman are the only currently retired jerseys.

I also have an almost complete set of NBL cards from 96 maybe 97 would have to look to confirm which year. I definitely have the complete set of the regular cards but not all of the special cards.

Probably wouldnt scan them all in but I can confirm which year and if you need any players photos from that era I could scan specific ones in for you?

Yeah i notice they are the only ones hanging in the rafters these days.. I'm waiting for a official yes or no from 36ers management about it still

Negative.. But he will be. There's still a bunch of players that only played a handful of games that still need to be added.

I thought i'd launch it now otherwise if i waited until i had EVERY single player it may be another 6 months before it see's the light of day

Darren Ng wore #8, pretty sure Cadee will be wearing #4 and Farley wore #9. So I think you can safely assume that they aren't retired.

True skip!

Edited!

Great work Nat

Does Maher really have more rebounds over his career then Davis?

KingJames - Thinking that must be an error.

NBL Media guide says
5200 Rebounds MARK DAVIS (482 games)
2313 Rebounds BRETT MAHER (526 games)

re retired 36er numbers

Numbers that have been retired, had a ceremony and a singlet sent to the rafters are

Ray Wood
Peter Ali
Scott Ninnis
Al Green
Mark Davis
Brett Maher
Mike Mckay

Remember the old rule that every one had to be numbered between 4-45 ( also add 00)

With these numbers taken out of the pool 4,8, 9,10,15 someone decided that other players could still wear the numbers ( Ninnis wore #6 and #9 as a 36er) Davis and Maher would retire after the numbers started being used again and no one has since worn #33 or #5.

When BASA folded someone decided that the singlets and banners were not appropriate to be hung in the rafters and they were taken down and stored.

I am of the thought that if the numbers were retired then they should be honored.

There is some contention though as some players were more decorated as Bearcats than as 36ers ie Wood's number was retired only 3 or so years after the 36ers were born.

If the 36ers honour the merger and adopt all the bearcat history into the 36ers then all the numbers should be retired.

if they dont then i think the only ones that should be up there are the elite level Green,Pearce,Davis and Maher.

The others should be honored but not retired.

Fixed.. Nice pick up!

One question - is there a way to find current players under each team's link?

Cheers Skip. I thought Maher was a good rebounder for a guard but wouldn't have thought he surpassed the chairman of the boards.
