I was liking it till I saw Kane De Witt? May as well throw Seb Vozzo in there too.

Leading the league in assists by a long way. Who do you think should be in there over him?

Has a few finishers around him to be honest, dribble off his foot and he'd probably get one.

Still waiting to hear an alternative! BJ? Webber? Staude? I'll take De Wit thanks!

West haven’t been good enough to give Thomas the nod.

No space to put a guy who was player of the round after scoring 30 in a losing effort ???

Unfortunately for Nik this blokes opinion isn't a popularity contest.

What a strange thing to be bitter about

Interesting Starling only a mention, have the additions resulted in him sharing the load more obviously, but chemistry out of whack? What are they, are power team with him and Dowdell or perimeter with McVeigh and Brick Johnson? Preseason favourites falling down the rankings quick while Mt Gambier surging.
Wait for Riewer out of Centrals start to put up numbers.

Not bitter, just shows how amateur this league still is despite how hard it's trying when a bloke who had the third best performance in that game wins player of the round because his mates voted for him.

Starling some big games but also some quieter games. North with a few losses means they couldn't all make the top two teams.

Fully expect he, McVeigh and possibly Dowdell to make the end of season teams. Hawkes will work it out.

Hawkes hasn't worked it out the last few years, what's different now. And all the BJ hoopla died down real quick, pretty bad except for a game or 2, can get in his head easy.

But that's the idea of the POTR. It’s literally a popularity contest to help drive clicks and shares for the league to reach a wider audience. The esteemed PL media crew are not picking apart game film to make the selections each week. You must know this. Relax

I think it's just one clown who has an issue with it. Everyone else takes it for what it is.

I’d take Patty Thomas in my second team as PG

When did I say he was shit? Just nowhere near player of the round. Good to see Sturt is delusional about more than just their team developing well. Hopefully all that friendship turns into wins soon.

And posting under Paul really identifies who you are idiot!

Big Mac I'm not sure that Vozzo knows what an assist is?

West's problems seem to be coming from the top, veterans trying to play over young guys is killing the team.

Am hearing an import has been given an early ticket home already.

So who is it?

Clippinger? Purely a guess

I'm sure the team will announce the change soon to their fans ,

One of the West guys but I don't know which.

Heyward gone from West. Apparently asked to be subbed out late in the game and Maclean responded by giving him a plane ticket home.

Will Wise to West?

Good to see Perry winning the "who scored the most" award for the week.

I expect West will go after an import guard if they replace him this late. Rennie not up to starting, been successfull with guards the last few years, looks like they went big to replace West and hoped youngsters would step up. Game I saw there was a lot of arguing on court, definitely not a happy camp.
I assume they would have to buy out contract making it an expensive exercise to bring another import in, unless they have a great second half of season would it be worth it?

Maybe they will bring Oldham back.

Is he available? Would have thought they would have brought him back as soon as possible.

I think Maclean's intentions this year was to see what he had youth wise. Truslove and Spadavecchi to bench and he’s trying to play Rennie, Johnson and Ciganovic. He handed the keys to Thomas and Kubank. I think this year was an attempt to try and rebuild on the fly. I don’t think the theory was wrong just Heyward didn’t work. They hammered Southern Round 1 remember. Other than Truslove and Spadavecchi I think West are pretty young. Who’s the next oldest Thomas at 24/25?

Good on Corey for having a plan. Proven as a coach he can win now he has a plan to build sustainability that will make the program for attractive for juniors.

Their junior program is a mess, stuck back in eras goneby, so hopefully some senior development filters down and Corey reconnects and oversees some supervision over the junior program too.

If he wanted to go big why not keep Dowdell? His output is up this year v last year averaging close to 20 points and 10 rebounds per game in what is supposed to be a stronger comp

Dowdell was a nonfactor for West last year as the year progressed.

Who are you?
Homocide Williams ??

Remember the Wildcats ;)

Corey will get these Bearcats humming again.

Bearcats are boned unless Thomas, Kubank, Jefferson are dropping 20 each a night. Rest of the roster is young or too old.

Looks like they are boned then because that aint happening consistently enough.
Corey wont save anything without bringing in another gun. The Wildcats these Bearcats aren't no matter how much they come together.
Didnt the whole team turn on and defy king Corey at last years Woolacott?

Losing West was key, even though he only made cameos. Was able to create a lot of matchup problems.
Relying on Spud for major minutes and even Truslove shows they're so called local depth is a fallacy. Corey's imploded at a few places with his "passion", is West the next in line? To be honest, without Oldham what have they really achieved?
What was the Woollacott decree? Not to go?

Sturt choking another lead. No surprise there. Rawson and import can only do so much with the rest of the rabble resorting to fighting, trash talking and whining. Lead by UFC fighter Matthews. Seriously an embarrassment. Alphabet a good cameo and even baiting south to celebrate like they won a title when he got dunked on. Oh well atleast they have their junior development to fall back on.....

How did Zinser win the medal? Hoppo had about 30 and was the only reason they stayed competitive all game. 2 very interesting Anzac medals awarded here today.
