Fantastic for the NBL 1 comp. Great to keep sixers in town. Hope more clubs look at encouraging sixers to stay here in off season. Builds great connections. Keep to take option to watch play more. Love how club embraced local community. More the better..great work to initiate

DJ had a stint with Diamond Valley in NBL1 South that wasn't great from the feedback. Barely trained with the group, was only at games he was happy to attend. Hoping forestville get the most out of the experience.

QAnon, policing other peoples language is some of the dullest shit imaginable. Can you understand was written? If yes, who cares? Or do you need a badge for being most intelligent?

they still have to play together like a team. Other clubs haven't played their cards yet.

Great opportunity for the Forrestville Juniors in that team to train against and play with the calibre of DG and Starling.

It was Sotto that numbnuts used to troll about, it was Daniel Johnson so interesting this didn't get him started.
Makes it interesting, if anything it makes it less so. I assume Deano is still at West, he'll really need to dig into his pockets to buy a team this year, only Rasmussen that I've seen so far. Maybe he has Davis and Harrell up his sleeve.
Has Souths money dried up after big spends the last few years for them to let Starling go?
It is good for Sixers to stay in town over the offseason. Pity it couldn't be more evenly distributed. Maybe every season the club's can chip in $5k each and at the end of the season it can be distributed as a sort of draft. Eg if Southern come last they get $10k to go towards player salaries, 8k for second last until finalists get 0. Yes it brings in the tanking debate, but might be able to provide the cellar dwellars some extra cash to entice players or buy better players. And could be a sort of luxury tax for clubs like the Cheatgles.
I remember years back when games were midweek and nearly every club had a sixer playing as an extra training and pocket money. Mark Davis, Ninnis at South, Rob Rose at Forestville, even Trimmingham played a couple at Central's. And can still remember Billy Fikes debut at the old Forestville stadium and dunking all over Paris McCurdy who started talking shit but went quiet. We'd all heard about Billy playing reserves the week before and his hops, but for most of warmups it was finger rolls until he pulled out a huge windmill that had everyone going WTF was that! Good times.
Enough of history, wouldn't give the title away just yet, will be interesting to see the tussle of who shoots more between the DJs. And how will that affect Starlings game, will he just be relied on defence and putbacks? Same with Mayes. And Doyle will be a spectator out there because sure as hell he won't be getting the ball back. As for Fiston I doubt he'll even score in double figures.
Seen a few other random signings, but this would be biggest after Starling. But could go the way of other superteams like Phoenix and Malone/Payton Lakers. I sure hope so. I wonder if they'll be able to suit up one of their juniors as a 9th or 10th man. Yes I do know Doyle is, but didn't he come over in u18s, so even that's a stretch.

Yeah DJ is a favourite of mind. So should be great constant contributor.. ever club with a sixer be wonderful. That be huge promo to build club connections ongoing support and passion and podiatrist amongst supporters. So good for culture. Huge to assist dev. And builds comradeship. Pumped for coming season localely and nbl wise..
