But adelaide have no money!!!! What will Joey do!? Maybe should've been the mature bigger person being a coach and all to start with. He abused Brisbane, a team he coached a title with as well. Bit of entertainment for a Thursday though.

Enjoy the future flogging Joey.

Nah they are trying to outlaw stupidity. I get it, pathetic at playing the cop, but atleast understand the meaning behind it. And kickert was penalised, you may disagree with the type of punishment but to say this tweet thing was penalised but not the physical act is incorrect. This is the beginning of the end for Joey Wright though, the vultures have started circling and cracks are appearing.

I think some players need to show a lot more professionalism on social media and this fine is a step in the right direction.

Thanks grandma. I quite like seeing players personalities show on social media. As for a coach acting like a fool b Che's please.

Thanks grandad. I actually like seeing a coach's personality on social media. Not sure why it's different from players personalities but damned if I won't keep saying it!

Right or wrong there is definitely a different set of rules for players and coaches on social media. The amount of players in the NBA who have said things been caught sending dick pics etc but if pop did it well he would be out of a job. Leaders lead players play. So yeah as a fan I like seeing players show interest in their profession, coaches need to sit the hell down and just coach. Joey doesn't play anymore.

I'm not against players showing personality but blaming the other team for dobbing on him after he was punished is retarded. Its not banter, he was being a sook.

Biggest flog on this forum.

That is all.

Good on Joey for sticking up for his players, I for one think it's great he did it. Better than sitting in the background, at least he has some passion for his team.

Joey has passion for Joey. Best way he could actually stick up for his team is to teach fundamental defensive principals. Unless he starts teaching and fans don't see any signs of improvement he will be able to get sucked in to all the twitter wars he wants without any fines coming his way. It's sad a coach would get caught up in that stuff.

Fines for provocative tweets should be halved if they get 200+ likes/retweets

Looking forward to the post-match fight.

Kickert certainly has the reach advantage, but Joey has experience and will likely be the less fatigued of the two.

The Adelaide guys need to calm the hell down! they shouldn't be getting into this stuff, when they suck! They don't play defense and they will be smashed in Brisbane. Different if they have the game style to back it up etc, but this is just embarrassing. And its getting a little bit pathetic now. Joey has definitely set a culture.

Randle's tweet has got to be an NBL record for longest trash talk tweet by an import without a typo.

"If ane plarey in this leek tinks that dey ar gonna too run there mooth twowards MY couch, deey ar n fro a rude away kenny-g. GAME ONE!!"

I have the Gary Ervin Chrome extension.

If that's what it takes for a team playing shit to get up for a game then god help us. Play some fuckin defence and then see all the good things that can actually happen.... on the court.

Maybe kickett should concentrate more on the hardwood and less on his twitter feed....Guy is slowly moving up the flog chart this season

As much as Kickert should pipe up and concentrate on basketball, he has a point.

The NBL openly chastised those tweets, now they are leveraging off those same tweets to hype up tonight's game.

Double standards.
