Isacc - as much as id love to be involved I doubt that the budget would extend to flying me in from the GCoast each week :)

But by all means let me know if you are planning anything for the game in Brissy and Ill help you out

Can we work a 1 Kilo steak from Gauchos before every game into the deal?

We will try and keep participants fed, but I'm not sure that the budget extends to MSA-grade beef. If it did, I'd go on a weight-gain plan to get involved!

The body would do it but I dont think I'm extrovert enough.

Just put my mind at rest, this Bonz character isnt a wanna-be wigga at all is he? It's just with a name like Bonz I'm a little bit nervous. Wouldn't want to send my renewal today only to listen to a guy annoucing with a fake accent for a whole season.

I'll do it, sounds like something you can make an ass out of yourself and i'm getting the same reaction now form my workmates! So Im In!

Bonz did it last season too, and has been announcer at Woodville games for some time.

Wigga is not a word I would use to describe Bonz, but f*uck I'd love to see him go hip hop for just one night. We could call him Biggy Bonz. I think he'd be a West Coast rapper, with metal influences.

Word.

You mean the guy who walks on court and speaks at quarter time breaks? How did he get the name Bonz?

Bonz is the guy who does the on court announcing, the club song etc.

Indeed Double Clutch, Bonz rolling around in a 64 on juice would be a site!!

Isaac,

(re 39916)

If the Rogers deal falls through .. and we cant find a 5 man .. You should ask Gaucho's if they would be happy to sponsor Oscar for a season and "bulk" him up to play the 5 !! ;)

By the way .. what was his reaction to Don Shipway's comment on Talking Hoops about being more of a rebounder and not to shoot the 3 ball so much ? Classic !!

Well the Hot/Not list exam edition is coming tommorow afternoon (since people have been asking) and Bonz may be getting a mention or two. Also featuring Ali Trewartha of North Adelaide.

DC, Bonz is the guy who did it last year and was pretty good IMO. Bigger role this year. "Bonz" comes from his surname. Met him last night and I think he's the right man for the job.

The Body, if wearing a mask helps protect your reputation out there, so be it. Alternatively use some performance enhancers (in this case, alcohol!) or do it with friends to avoid nerves.

Skyhook, didn't hear it. If someone's hitting threes at 47%, do you really want them to stop though? Going to be a lot of competition on the boards this year (Cooper, Rees or Rogers, Rychart, Holmes, Nash, Forman)!

Kriss - be sure to email Potsie. And to others, even if you don't have the bodytype that we're looking for with the primary idea here, if you want to make some noise, get in touch and you'll be used.

So we don't need to be fat? I would love to do it, I just don't have the body.

Great idea by the 36ers. Well done.

Bizzy, for the primary idea (which will be solidified based on responses), anyone large or lanky will be perfect. If you're too dignified and athletic but eager to make noise or get involved in another way, an opportunity will be found. Email Paul and I'm sure he can put together a list of those who are interested.

...was tongue in cheek Isaac ... let the big fella pull the trigger on the 3 ball as much as he likes.

Nash will take a few 3's too this year .. i wonder if Oscar will take a different role at all ?

so is Paul trying to re-create the college atmosphere at the sixers game? Is that the aim of these loud fans?

We're going to try a lot of things. Paul's aim is to improve game night entertainment, so whatever falls under that umbrella -- music, competitions, presentation, etc.

I'm not a big fella but am a little lanky. Will get out the colourful shirts for the coming season.

Anyone know where to find some outrages looking shirts?

His full name is Paul Bonsor, hence "Bonz".

Will Ben the music man be sitting with and joining this motley crew????

I can't wait for the first person to hold life size cutout of bikini models up whilst the opposite team is taking free throws (ahh, old school NBA....)

you have to get the guy who sat behind the opposition bench and hurled abuse at the coaches & players( it was about two years ago, i think in the city mazda box ). he gave heal & goorjian a touch up & offered them one of his pies, heal called him 'snowball' in reference to his stature. when one of the coaches (i think either black or joyce) forgot their belt he spent the whole game offering his. he always came up with champagne comedy!

Sounds perfect -- if anyone knows him, pass on his details because he'd be a poster-boy for what we're trying to achieve.

I think you should put the investigative journalist Kent Brockman on the case.

Isaac,

You are an absolute champion. This sort of idea is the first step forward towards getting some atmosphere back at the games! Fantastic initiative by all back at the Sixers, somewhat similar to what Perth have at either end of the court. I've been suggesting this idea for years!

Where would this group sit and are they going to be the official supporters group, making up songs etc.?

We'll see how it pans out, but yes, one way or another there should be some noise coming from either end of the court and if I have to write the chants for them myself, so be it.

I think the first opponents are Perth -- easy targets: everything about Ronaldson, Matt Shanahan's head, the "coach", etc.

It's hard to reveal much (don't know what will eventuate and obviously can't promise anything until things do) but there are some great ideas coming from this committee.

Be easy to beat up on Ronaldson, he's to slow to make it up and down the court, so he will just be stuck at one end getting ripped in to!!

But watch out he's nick-named the Bear. Yeah a Teddy Bear.!!

Has anyone though up of a name of this crew???

Just don't let Carfino pick a name, he's sucks the big one when it comes to giving names....

Carfino won't be picking a name. It's under control for now.

TR we will have to wait and see!!

Yes, these sort of entertainers are very popular and most NBA teams have them. To my knowledge, no team in Australia does. Whether a Sixers equivalent just make noise or perform remains to be seen.

Still, when you steal, you steal from the best. Those with the most money buying the top marketers are naturally going to come up with the best ideas first.

Bonz should step out onto court with his retro celtics warm-up track suit. Got nothing to do with the sixers, but looks the shit!!! & it would add to his new hip hop style!!

issac i'd love to jump on board but i would have to cut down the maccas to 4 times a week to fit in the seats un less your setting up a reinforced area for us to make some noise in, please make it behind the opp. bench we could use southern tactics to make sure we get over the line.

Get as MANY people involved guys lets try to make this idea work. I think Paul is setting up audition times so we can......"show him what we got"

What happend to the 36ers Bad Boys? I can remember them wearing red t shirts with bad boys on the front!!!

i know the person who use to work at City Mazda. very funny person
i too got told off by security ( our security ) for heckling when we played wollongong 2 seasons ago when saville scored only 7 points.
joyce and co complained to security and the said to me either shut up or u will be kicked out.
they were the best seats behind the visiting team bench.

maybe speak to the guys in stand59 at adelaide utd games and we can sing some songs ie

If i had the wings of a sparrow
If i had the arse of a crow
Id fly over tomorrow
And shit on the bastards below

and stir up the opposition

Are you the same guy who offered Brett Brown and Shane Heal a pie?

im not .. but i know who he is

shane heal turned around and said why dont you eat all the pies. and he said ok i will

Tell him that he should get in touch with Paul Bauer at the sixers office on 8444 6444.

There is a potential season ticket in it for him.

That was gold with him and Heal, he got thrown out of a Brisbane game after getting into it with Kerle if I remember correctly.

ok ..
but why do our security guys kick us out for sledging the opposition??
who side are they on.
i got warned against wollongong.

Not sure about the security but if you get in touch with Paul I am sure you will be a lot closer to the action than the City Mazda box.

we dont have that box anymore
we now have a corporate suite . abit away from the action but i wise investment. we have given 6 Mazda 6's to the players for the year

give me a mazda 6 and ill tattoo mazda on my arm and never wear anything but tank tops!

How is the progress of the Big guys going? has it been finalised or is there more auditions to go?

BONSOR IS A TOP BLOKE IVE KNOWN HIM FOR MANY YEARS AND IF YOU CAN ORGANISE ANYTHING FOR PERTH GAMES NEXT YEAR IM IN. IF YOURE SEEIN THIS BONZ GOOD JOB. OLLIE

Cheers Ollie!

thats 2 of us in perth,

damn where the hell were you this year when they were threatening to kick me out Ollie....

anymore takers???
