Shouldn't Isaac or Jack Toft be doing the game write ups.
They do a much better job.
I wonder if they will actually interview lavar, and what he will/would say.
He has been sooooo quiet and lowkey by his standards the last few months in Australia. I don't think we would see anything too outlandish from him in an interview.
Is the sbs stream not showing for anyone else? Like no link at all on the sbs on demand website

Heal on the sideline and not in the booth. Good move.
Feels like a bit of an odd starting 5 for the hawks

NBL TV stream not loading for me. Too much demand to see LaMelo at a reasonable USA-friendly time?

He's a SEN 1116 caller. Gaze works there so may have suggested him.
Any word on viewer numbers for the facebook watch stream in America?

Man melo is going to be something special
His vision and passing are amazing.

Cooked Boone ruins that sick LaMelo ankle breaker.
Getting people with sport commentary experience in radio to commentate sport (with the added benifit of not having a all about me personality that some ex-footballer commentators have). Better idea than throwing the ex Europe correspondent in the deep end of calling games.

Jack Heverin was one of the new names mentioned when the league announced the commentators for this season. Calls a range of sports from AFL to lawn bowls.
Something about teams coached by Lemanis and stickers. Will someone in the crowd throw a chair at someone next or just tip a beer on them?
Surely Dech must be having some regrets about where he signed now
fire these new commentators. Thinking Aaron Brooks is Kevin Brooks is cringe
Why would Flinn start the same 5 that started terrible? Just default starting 5.
Twice Grida has done a silly foul in the bonus.
Kevin Brooks hasn't seen a shot he doesn’t like

Average crowd of ~3,500 although today is the NRL Grand Final so it isn't an accurate barometer of what's to come.

Didn't Wollongong get average crowds of 2300 or so last year?
Perthworld

Yes but historically that is an average crowd for them at WIN. Not in recent seasons however with attendance taking a nosedive.
Got rid of a great coach in Bevo and brought in a clueless chump like Flinn. Great job Hawks.

The bullets imports that arent called patterson are very ordinary.

I think we all suspected that inexperience would be an issue for the Hawks but they gave it a decent shake. Enjoyable enough game. Hopefully Bricks improves from that shooting effort.

Hopefully today was the last we hear of Kevin for the Hawks
Not certain Naar will be to happy with Ball being there either, lamello all class though and must play. Illawarra seem to have to many guards.
Brooks has to start over Naar. Tbh I'd almost consider Blanchfield coming off the bench as 6th man being the offensive go to of the 2nd unit with Naar as the facilitator. Not sure about Ogilvy and Boone starting together either but their options are kind of limited.
Lots of solid pieces for the Hawks this year, but going to be a challenge to work out how to fit them all together.

Could Boone be ousted?
He's still got plenty to offer, but I'm guessing it's not long till they work out what seems obvious- that he's not the right fit. Not when they have Ogilvy, Andersen and Froling.
Boone's ok they just need to work out a better rotation Anderson didn’t get many mins but played well. More training needed for the hawks. #melofactor

Buzzas the most relaxed, confident team in the league atm.
They'll finish top 3
Boone is broke I keep saying that. He certainly was in Melbourne for sure. DA past it.
Flinn poor man's Bevo. Can't coach either. Tech. Meh. The red headed kid no.
Narr improving. Blanchfield and Coenradd past it. Won't be anywhere near top. Bullets aren't much better but happy with their odds!

Awww, no bullet train hype?
Bullets are marginally better than the Hawks! How's that for underwhelming hype

Hype train's yours to drive if you want it this season, PW
