Sixers by as many as they want.

Hawks are utter crap.

How bad are Adelaide going to look with no Humphries protecting the paint & being Giddey's roll man?

DJ will need to go for 40.

Play Mud! Would be great to see Mud and Isaac White going at it tonight.

#433 you can watch that when they both run around in NBL1 next season

433 Issac White wiould tear Mudronja to pieces.
Henry has given him 5minutes court time for the year, surely he wouldn't humiliate him anymore than he already is?

Hawks by so much that Akoldah Gak is on the floor in the 3rd quarter

Why would a perth fan care abouts the Hawks most are to arrogant to see past the Wildcats to know other teams actually exist.

Na we know all the other teams exist. I think we've beaten every single one of them in a grand final in the past decade.

446 = absolute clueless tool.

"Na we know all the other teams exist. I think we've beaten every single one of them in a grand final in the past decade."

If you'd said playoff series you'd be pretty close. I think SEM are the only team Perth haven't beaten in playoffs in the past decade, and there's good reason for that!

Let's look at another stat:

DNP's
Alex 7
Isaac 0

^ yep, hard to argue with that.

461 dumbass, that is a stupid thing when talking about guys in their first yr in the league with different coaches. Sheesh dealing with fools here.

#474 Just because you don't like the stat doesn't make it less real

I wish I still acted about Adelaide and how they're tracking. I love the league, but the team has lost me. Did so under Joey, gave them a chance this season, but they’re dull and undermanned in most positions. JVG has done it again.

C'mon guys; I White head to head with Mudronja - haha, I'm sure the fans are paying to see that, NOT!

Gotta be a Jantke comment about Isaac White and Alex Mudronja....

Has Dennis Pinder changed his hair again??

Pinder has really made up for no Humphries really proud of his effort.

Yep although he's an energy guy, he seems like a player that needs longer minutes to make a real impact.

Deng adel seriously how many offensive fouls does he give away.

Deng adel seriously how many offensive fouls does he give away.

when i watch the hawks play i think its the best team ever how its been built
offence and defense players everywhere

What are Mudronja's stats at the half?

Giddey with an awesome quarter.

Does Deng Adel have the lowest basketball IQ of all time?

Pretty tired of hearing that Jeopardy music EVERY game in the bubble when there's a review.

Giddey is playing well. Does anyone know how old he is?

what is DJ history overseas has he ever had a NBA summer league game

Mudronja is the elephant in the room now
Back to the local league, it hasn't worked out
Both parties need to get it sorted ASAP

"Sixers by as many as they want Hawks are crap."

Clearly you sir are an idiot.

USF on Giddy was BS

Does that last post come in English?

I am sorry DJ is a huge part of the problem
- poor or no defence
- selfish in offence
- takes far too many poor shots
- poor body. Language - absolutely no energy
- does he ever do any of the little things for the team

Agree with that DJ comment.

So the new stat is:

DNP's
Alex 8
Isaac 0

^ and in doing so getting paid

DJ is one of the best bigs in the league and has been for years.

Love it when we lose and some turn on DJ. If you understand the game Adel and Harvey outside shooting cost the game and DJ was not the one on the perimeter defending these players. Noted we got killed on the glass but we were very undersized tonight.

If we had Isaac and Paul we win the game. As simple as that.

Well I guess he is doing his job then. Playing well and performing when a new deal is on offer. That would never happen in the real world would it ;)

DJ's defence is not costing as games.

Take the Hawks best import out in Harvey and best Aussie out in Adel an we win.

With Humphris out and Paul in quarantine the Jawks had to win.

Any team in the NBL would take a first team NBL PF that can stretch the floor.

If we let DJ go what Aussie talent is going to replace him?

When is Paul going to play

Randle put up good offensive numbers too...oh wait...he isn't here. For the good numbers DJ puts up with all his flopping on a winning team he is invisible on the defensive end. As Zodiac says no other team has ever touched him and it why he never gets an invite to Boomers camp regardless of who the coach is.

While not NBL, at least he got his championship at Forestville

DJ is a really good talent. The fact he's the absolute softest person to ever live has let him down and sometimes make it hard to root for him.

Mudronja did not even get on the floor when they were pumped by 40 last game.
Simply no excuse for that.
Give him 10 minutes to either prove he is good enough or he isn't .
Don't just shit on him with the whole league watching.
Henry is a clown

Henry also starts PInder over McVeigh though

4 DNP CD last night for Connor.

Dont think Ive ever seen that

Kendle is good enough to be in the NBL just not as an import. He should be chasing citizenship, then he would have a full time gig.

Mudronja is finished at Adelaide, even if Henry does play him what's he going to do? His confidence is shot, he knows he isn’t rated at all, they put Pinder and Teys on the court ahead of him.
Unfortunately looking like another SA junior who got pumped up and overhyped then froze when the real stuff started.

There's more coaches thn just Henry making these decisions. What input are the assistants having?

There were better players than DJ with no singlets in the rafters

McVeigh has improved a lot, his game yesterday was ok but at -16 when he's on the floor is worrying, Adel also had his best game for hawks, it’s no coincidence. Sixers are competitive and were always a long shot of finals.

Lets just sack this bum coach

Coach got three year contract, he's going ok, mid next season will be the tipping point.

what?

Indeed wtf was that all about.

Seriously, some of the comments here especially those targeting mudronja WTF???? This kid can play. He has been given very little opportunity and when given time such as a few weeks back he knocked down double digit points. Look at his shooting percentage against the rest. Get to a training session perhaps and check this kid out. Perhaps start commenting on the performance of players that are actually getting on the court. One person here continues to smash him and it sounds like other personal motives in his comments. You my friend are a clown.
And how Pindar is getting so much court time? Starting over McVeigh??
McVeigh is also getting starved of opportunities, and we have another big local body not getting opportunities.
The coach complains about the group being tired but keeps playing 7 guys. Rotate the entire bench with some court time. Coach crumbles under pressure, he has had enough time..... get another coach. I like giddy, but 37 minutes on court for the little points is not good enough. Our bench would hit that many points if on the court for that amount of time. Coaching needs to work on his shooting, his percentage is too low. ....

Henry obviously sees some major flaws in Mudronjas game otherwise he would play him?
Yes he would dominate at training, he isn't using much energy on match day.
Of course scrutiny will come when you play professionally and people are going to ask questions, he went to the COE played for Australia, went to college, Jantke pumped him up, got him a pro deal at the Sixers and he’s not getting on the court. He was seen as the next big thing, or maybe he was a big dominant junior and everyone else caught up?
Can’t blame him, he is doing his best, but it all might come back to the BSA HP flawed talent ID/ development and obsession with the Sturt/ private school system. A system that has a reputation of promoting entitled players, not the necessarily the best ones.

For those criticising Mudronja for not subbing himself on - how many minutes did Sobey play his first two seasons (1st as a DP with Cairns and second season as a rostered player with Adelaide)?

Way too early to guess how Mudronja's NBL career is going to go but blaming Sturt or the private school for overhyping him is an interesting take.

His lack of productivity is based solely on a lack of playing time which has resulted from Giddey getting 30 minutes a game. Even Sloan didn’t get significant playing time let alone Mudronja.

786 you clearly do not know much about much. Stop making a fool of yourself. Your philosophical thoughts have an elememt of truth but your information is far from reality you are just embarassing yourself. It is obviously anonymous so it is easy to post stupid crap but your deep consciousness must be impacted by your stupidity. Plenty of young kids in the league do not play in their first year. Jantke helps kids get exposure to college coaches and has had immense success in helping kids and changing lives. That is where it begins and ends. You can make more out of this thant there is but that is for fools to follow.

Henry ain't calling the shots

791 thanks for your enlightening feedback, you are quite the online savant so it seems
Your response is also boring and predictable and you come across as pompous and entitled...so one would assume you are a part of the BSA HP system?
If you are denying that talent ID and selection aren't private school and club based in Adelaide, then you are a liar.
Too many players are selected because they are "good for business".
I’m not saying Mudronja fits this category and he can obviously play the game, but the question remains, why can’t he get on the court?
If it’s not talent, is it attitude/behaviour/energy? Wether it’s the coach, upper management, or both, someone somewhere doesn’t rate him.
Best thing he could do is sit down and watch some tapes of Baba and Issac White.
White is a role impact player, high output/effort, plenty of bench energy, first player getting around Guys when they are subbed off, boxes out rebounds scores, just throws himself into it, Baba is exactly the same.
Mudronja seems to be moping around towel around his shoulders feeling sorry for himself.
As time goes on, maybe his behaviour when Joey Wright was sacked has cost him, not his playing ability?
I hope it works out for him, there is a highly talented group of players coming through in SA and Mudronja and Issac White are seen as the leaders of the generation.

Mudronja has done very very well when given opportunity

The same coach obviously thinks Pinder can do something other than breathe and walk and thus isn't a great judge of a players ability

799 I agree that you will be hard pressed to find many in love with BSAHP but what does this have to do with Mudronja.

Mudronja is far removed from his days in BSAHP. Went to COE, St Mary's and now a NBL roster player (first season as a roster player).

If you don’t think he will become a solid NBL player that is fine. You may well be right but he’s still very young.

I would suggest the reason he can’t get on the court is none of what you suggested but rather the fact he’s a rookie and they have decided to throw the keys to the car to Giddey. It’s also understandable that when Henry subs off an 18 year old that he looks to Dillon, Kendle or Teys over Mudronja for experience.

Giddey is a star of the future but most don’t expect him to be part of next year’s 36ers team.

A more interesting question than why Mudronja isn’t getting on the court is whether the 36ers would be in a stronger position both this season and in the future if they had not signed Giddey but rather given an import point guard such as Sloan 30 minutes a game and used Mudronja as a solid 10 minute per game back up point guard.

799 i think you are right re. Talent. The mayen kid is showing a trajectory right now that could project him onto draft boards come 2023. You got rigoni who has just smashed all time 3 pt shooting records at 6foot6 at his d1 school. You have got Hulland who has shown signs. Garang learning his trade under the top coaches in the world. Then in the last 18 mths a record number of kids out of SA in canberra. There were some bleak decades theee forsure. Will take a few yrs to see how these kids go but kids out of SA are getting to higher levels at an unprecdedented rate.
