You had me until "Hodgson" and "amazing".

I assume OP meant DJ and yes Sobey, Creek & DJ is quite a good Big 3.

The good thing about Perth's Australian core is although they were great NBL players they were flawed at higher levels. Martin didn't have a jumper most of his career and Knight is undersized.

Its always hard to predict the future and its hard to keep a core team together as long as Perth and NZ has. There will be money offered from other NBL teams and potentially high level European deals offered for the likes of Sobey and Creek.

"Another case of 36ers fans getting ahead of themselves"

too true, 36'ers do have some reasonable players ...but have a looong way to go to fill out a proper Perff roster ..... where are the Floppers, the Man Buns, the Roid Ragers and the other assorted dysfunctional characters ?

you can't get a Perff type reputation and rabid Troll supporters without people they can relate too. :)

Maybe at least make multiple consecutive playoff appearances before talking about a dynasty, guys.

Yes, but Perth can afford to build a "dynasty" because they fill their stadium with cashed up fifo bogans every single game and are absolutely rolling in cash. When the 36ers get to the point where they consistently have a full house and can start charging $100 for a pretty ordinary seat on a Thursday night then they'll have the cash to fight off offers from other nbl clubs or from Europe and pay out all the other subsidies, allowances and extras that help keep players interested. If you can't muster the cash to keep randle, or to find a legit replacement for that matter you've still got a way to go before you start talking about dynasties.

I'm such a salty loser don't forget

Don't know about dynasty, but it's a good local core entering prime age range. Sobey, Johnson, Creek, Hodgson and Drmic. Not unreasonable to draw at least a remote comparison to what the Wildcats (Martin, Wagstaff, Redhage, Knight, Hire) and Breakers (Vukona, Abercrombie, Pledger, etc) have managed to carry through successful years.

Adelaide might not have won the championship yet with this group, but last year they did very well against all expectations.

When the Aussie core wins the majority of the games instead of their one good import, then you can start linking them to the basis of a dynasty...

I like the Sixers core too, but lets see if they can win one title first!

As a Perth fan I'm actually jealous of Adelaides Aussie core with our core now 30+.
But reality is the sixers imports need to fire up for them to have a chance this season.

"For those struggling with comprehension, the premise here is future success not past history."

Talks of dynasties normally start when a team has won 2 championships in clode succession and has a good chance of continuing that good form.

I would agree that Adelaide has the best local core in the league and quite young too.

However 'dynasty' is not a word I'd use until such time I see some shampionship success from the team. True that expectations were rock bottom last season and to finish 1st made the season a 'success'.

However to bow out of the playoffs in front of a home crowd, to the 4th place team, missing their 1st team Centre, and playing lacklustre defence like it didn't matter tells me this team is not ready for such a tag.

I don't really care who is at fault by now, I want it fixed and move on. Hopefully this year the Sixers can take that next step.

Coach before Joey liked to turn all players over in the bottom team , while top teams perth and nz retained players...

How are the 36ers imports looking for this season?

If only there was another thread discussing this season's imports vs last seasons.
