Barlow benched
00 960
David Barlow was buried deep on the Australian bench throughout the Stankovic Cup, playing under 30 minutes for the entire tournament including a DNP-CD in the opening game. After missing the warm-up series against Argentina, Barlow has been unable to crack the starting five for Australia after being the country’s starting small forward at the 2006 World Championships and the 2008 Olympics. While coming in cold, Barlow made only 1/6 field goals through the tournament but grabbed an...
Is Dane Swan the best player in the AFL?
42 1,365
With an ability to win possession after possession and constantly drive the number one team in the AFL forward, Collingwood’s Dane Swan is fast becoming the most unstoppable and dangerous player in the league. Moving into a stratosphere with other modern day miracles, such as on-ballers Chris Judd, Gary Ablett and Luke Hodge, Swan is finding an everyday niche to collect 30 disposals per contest as he leads the Magpies charge towards September. In Saturday’s annihilation of Carlton, Swan...
Adding DeVries keeps the 36ers small
00 1,236
The Adelaide 36ers have built a side that is going to live and die from beyond the extended arc in 2010/11, with a plethora of outside specialists converging in the Sixers back-court. The Sixers today added import Troy DeVries to their roster, boasting their guard total to an unimaginable six, although you may be able to squeeze that down to five if you count Brad Hill as a small forward, but still the Sixers have shied away from adding excessive height and instead gone for the unusual option...
I want Shaq, AI and T-Mac in Boston
00 1,177
Shaquille O’Neal wants to join the Boston Celtics, and the 2010 Eastern Conference champions have the room to accommodate Shaq because Kendrick Perkins is set to miss the opening three months of the season recovering from his knee injury. The Celtics can only offer Shaq minimum wage, but with the carrot of a fifth championship hanging in front of him, Shaq should take the offer and join the Boston Celtics’ quest for a record 18th banner. And the Boston Celtics shouldn’t stop there,...
A disgrace to kick Akermanis out of the kennel
10 1,020
Maybe Jason Akermanis is to blame for the Australian cricket team being all out for 88 on the first day of the second test against Pakistan. Maybe Jason Akermanis is to blame for Paul Briggs being knocked out by Danny Green in the IBO cruiserweight fight last night, 29 seconds into the first round!! Come to think of it, I seem to have misplaced the TV remote control, and yes, I think I’m going to blame Jason Akermanis for that. The Western Bulldogs’ decision to terminate the contract of...
Melbourne Tigers sign US import
01 3,205
The Melbourne Tigers have completed their roster for the 2010/11 season with the signing of American point guard, TJ Campbell. Campbell, a product of the University of Portland, will arrive in Melbourne in August in preparation for the upcoming season and will start alongside another new import, Eric Devendorf, in the backcourt when the season tips off in October. Listed at 5’9â€, Campbell, 22, finished his collegiate career after playing two years with the Portland Pilots, averaging 12....
The Melbourne Tigers Should Have Chased LeBron
00 1,741
I’m disappointed that the Melbourne Tigers didn’t get involved in the bidding for LeBron James. I know that there isn’t a snowball chance in hell of James turning his back on the NBA and potentially hundreds of millions of dollars to relocate to Melbourne and play in the NBL, but that didn’t stop the Lake Erie Crushers, a baseball team from Ohio, from offering James a deal worth $1,600 a month. What it would have done was get the Tigers some free publicity, worldwide, and if the Tigers...
Does LeBron regret his decision?
02 1,539
It has been two weeks since LeBron James announced that he was taking his talents to South Beach and signing with the Miami Heat. The outpouring of disappointment from Cleveland Cavaliers fans, Charles Barkley, and now Michael Jordan’s comments that he would never have done it, begs the question, does LeBron James regret his decision? According to James’ own confession, he didn’t make his mind up until the morning of the announcement, going back and forth between teams in his mind and...
Who are the NBL Stars?
00 1,496
The NBL is in desperate need to start up a marketing scheme aimed at highlighting the best players in the competition for the 2010/11 season.On the back of Chris Anstey’s retirement, Corey Williams’ move to Europe, Julius Hodge chasing his NBA dream and John Rillie still without a team, the league is without four of its biggest identities, leaving a massive hole in its ability to connect with fans a stability with the star players on offer.After Anstey and Sam Mackinnon retired at the end...
