bloody hell....when will foxtel learn? we have to watch a blowout in townsville (watching the crocs for the third time this week no less), when the bullets get over perth by one point after redhage rims out on the buzzer.

[Zoom]

Go Brisbane And sucks for you koberulz, as if Foxtel wouldn't show a Bullets game Waht losers!

[Dean]

South Dragons!
Another win!

[Zoom]

I wonder if whoeevr it was will jump back on thed dragons bandwagon now

[koberulz]

methinks you need larger keys'smaller fingers

i'm not going to go really indepth on the wildcats game, i've analysed so many of their games that i really don't have much more to say.

brooks stepped up a little from previous weeks, and actually appeared to have an impact on the game.

the 'cats really tried to throw the game in the last three minutes of the third. PC dribbles straight into two double teams (one on the sideline), they miss PR standing wide open under the rim, and there were numerous other incidents.

why the heck was tha fould called as unsportsmanlike?

[Zoom]

Anyone see Sam Mac smack down Heal?

Brought a smile to my face It was gold and now I'm even more pumped to see the Dragons when they visit and heckle Heal.

[CMJ3]

The Bullets got up over the Tigers in double OT, quite a good match up. The Shane Heal incident was stupid.

I may be alone on this but im not a fan of Heal in the present time, He thinks because I'm Shane Heal i still gotta drop down 30 points a night, even though he is a much worse player than his prime days he still jacks up the same amount of shots and gets 30-40% of them. I think he was a big reason why the Dragons kept losing.

[Zoom]

I used to like him when he played for the Aussies in 2000 but after he led Sydney to the championship and 'retired' he became all cocky. I was rooting for him when he joined the Spurs but clearly now he think's he is South Dragons. His attitude shits me. I would take an old old Andrew Gaze over Heal in his current state any day.

[Zoom]

Brisbane lost to Melbourne Ah well... cna't win them all.

Coach Joey is angry everyone is saying that we been doing something to the officials because we got a kick-ass roster. And Shane Heal called our team too physical.

[CMJ3]

Great comeback by the cats' against the Kings. I thought all of Perth's players were gonna foul out in the first quarter, we had something like 8 fouls or something. Redhage with 21 points and 20 rebounds is scary as hes a Small Forward. This guy has got to be pretty close to winning MVP this season.

[koberulz]

that game belonged on the comedy channel. the refereeing was a joke.

did someone forget to tell goorj that there's more to defense than mugging paul rogers?

was millsy's sydney kings jersey in the wash?

did i miss the part where any attempt at fast break defense warrants an unsportsmanlike foul?

how the fuck did sydney only go down by that margin only hitting one field goal in each of the final two quarters?

[CMJ3]

the refereeing was shocking i agree, but the wildcats just carried on with the game and won which is the good thing, at least they didnt give up and call it a day because the refs werent goin there way, they kept fighting which is good to see.

did i miss the part where any attempt at fast break defense warrants an unsportsmanlike foul?

i did hear the commentator say that as well, it happened twice i too dont know what was wrong with it. Its a smart foul and committed by smart players. Obvious the commentators are biased against Perth, it happens in Football aswell, its like Perth vs the rest of Australia.

I remember in the final between Adelaide and West Coast and the commentator stated "looks like Adelaide has secured its spot in the Grand final with they way this is going" this was at quarter time and i couldnt believe what he was saying it sounded like a joke, the crows were only up by 20 points and then in the end the Eagles won. Theres a lot of Perth haters when it comes to sport.

[Arcane]

can't wait for Saturdays bullets vs Wildcats game.

[Zoom]

We will win

My lil bro is going to see it ... I'm not though. Will be going to the crocs game tho... does anyone know how you can go and meet someone on the away team? I wanna say hi to my HS coach

[Arcane]

after bullets games they have functions at merivales in the convention centre players coaches are out chatting to family friends and fans then they head off to chalk hotel.

[Zoom]

So the Away team is there? Thanks a lot man! Maybe i can meet Brad Newly too.

[Arcane]

yeah the away team is often there just depends on how pissed they are they lost or if they have to get to airport if they have another game the next day

[Zoom]

Ok. The game is Dec 23 so maybe they would want to get home for Christmas... sounds like you are in Brisbane? Or are a hardcore Bullets fan.

[Arcane]

i am a brisbane man and i am a hardcore fan i even have been doing the Bullets site for 2 seasons and helped out a bit the season before hand.

[Zoom]

hey dragon@4Q, can I ask about getting job at Bullets' games. Do I need to apply though the Exhibition centre?

[Arcane]

depends on what job. Its pretty hard to get one more associated with the bullets directly my oppurtunities were through luck and connections plus playing ball against some members of the bullets management helped.

[Zoom]

Probably as an usher or something. The only Bullets connection I have for now is my old coach but he's with Townsville now... so I don't know anyone directly involved with the Bullets.

[Arcane]

ok well for usher job best to talk to convention centre.

[Zoom]

Yeah man... I just really want a job. I've got one at Coles (of all places) but i wanna work at either Bullets games or work at Suncorp

So, what do you think of our lack of big men... all we got is Bradtke...

[Arcane]

well with sam mack and dusty on the boards and blks we don't need a 7'0 + player.
