We were called the Navy Seals, because Sammy's at the Marina is our sponsor and Phil Smyth being the General, I think that the club put it together to make the "Navy Seals". Even though, there isn't actually a General in the Navy, it's an Admiral.

lmao..ok..Thanks..just as well its not a confusing reason..and a website for banners?

Not atm. Might organise something though.

Keep an eye out.

Got an email addy I can let you know on?

And what about the seals part...do they serve seal at Sammy's??? I thought that hake tasted funny!!!

what did the banner say last night, i couldnt see if from where i was sitting. heard it was gold

NBL License - $1,000,000

NBL All Star - $500,000

Hasbeen Imploding Team - Priceless

something very similar to that.

It said -

NBL Licence - $1,000,000

NBA All Star - $500,000

Backstabbing Has Been

Priceless

I dont think we are actually sponsored by Sammys anymore. We certainly were last year. But this year we dont have their logo on our uniforms.

DAMROB usually gets a photo of each of our banners so you can probably see a few if you scroll thru their photos.
Last nights is here-

Thanks Skip...

banner = Priceless

Ahhh that's harsh...very funny though!

Should be a new one this week. We have quite a bit of footage, just aint had the time to put one together.
Stay tuned...

I read a good one the other day.." HAMMER,YOU ALWAYS WERE A TOOL"

I was under the impression you were the Seals because you were all supposed to be fat. I believe fat, loud and obnoxious were roughly the guidelines given before the first recruiting drive, surprised you don't have more Americans on board actually....

Yes, that was the original concept but really, anyone passionate and noisy is in these days as plans changed a bit.

Having not been to a game for ages(but reading about the antics of the Navy Seals on here) I must say I was actually disappointed when I saw them 'in action' at a game the other week.

I'm not entirely sure what they bring to the equation - besides throwing out chocolate frogs and hurtling abuse at opposition players.

I too expected it to be loud fat obnoxious types who would wiggle a little booty, make me laugh, and genuinely entertain the crowd.

The name has always been confusing, and now it seems the format is too.
Is it a concept that has gone a little skewed?

Not all can be pleased all of the time. After the music was completely scaled back, I heard people complaining about the lack of music, saying they found it boring.

With the Seals, not everyone likes them - that's fine. No need to expect big things - they contribute with handing out prizes, did the slingshot at the last game, handed out milk after the game, are working on another episode of Seal'D, are always on here chatting, etc. Completely supplementary to the game. It's not like anyone buys a season ticket for anything but basketball as a bare minimum, right?

Hawka - yeah, our role has changed a little this year. We did a lot of 'Dancing' last year as 'entertainment'. This year that has been cut right back. We may still strut our stuff later in the season tho.
Our role probably is more ambasador than entertainer this year. As mentioned, we help handing out the giveaways, play a bit of ball out the front with the kids before the game, help sell raffle tickets and try to get the cropwd involved a bit more.

Speaking of the next Seal'D, it is only days away. It will feature chats with the likes of Brett Maher, Sam MacKinnon, Scott Ninnis, Kevin Brooks, Willie Farley, Dillon Boucher, Lanard Copeland, John Rillie, Steve Carfino, Mick Hill, CJ Bruton and Mark Cowan. Im sure I have forgotten a couple as well.

Stay tuned...

What? No chat with Shane Heal?! Can't imagine why not...

Shane Heal Was Asked - And For The First Time Ever, We Were Declined.

If you don't like the Seals dont watch.
They are passionate supporters and if they can do a little to help the club well then good on them.
They put in a lot of their own time without much recompense.

103489, how do they try to be stars of the show? They are "some sort of cheer squad" and they are sitting in the crowd. What are you trying to say??

Thanks for the free ice coffee's after last weeks match seals!

"Ambassadors for the club" by abusing other players and derogatory bannners??

No thanks, not the image I would like portrayed for my club!!

I like what the Seals do, but I would hate to think they, or anyone else, consider themselves as spokespersons for the club with that behaviour.

Anon : the price of eggs is $3.48.

Tedeebare...these guys go out and fire up the crowd with no prompting from the club, just for their love of the sixers...if you don't like passionate supporters my advice would be to stay at home and watch on fox!

tedeebare, also consider that players often make positive remarks about the Seals and their efforts - same with various other loud fans at other venues.

I think it was Barlow who had a crap game here after being ridden all night by the Seals, yet came over to sign their banner after the game - it's all in the spirit of things.

You will also hear other stories like a fan yelling at Kerle all game. Kerle went into the stands afterwards and everyone assumed it would get messy, but he just said 'We need more fans like you!' or words to that effect.

Players nearly always love those loud fans, and just hope like hell that when they visit a venue they aren't going to cop it. Talk to Reesy about going to Perth - they would annoy the crap out of him over there!

SHUT THE HELL UP TEDEEBARE!!!

Sorry teedeebare, I provided that website, but forgot to add a name.

Really rate that website.... They guys at work love it.
