@NBLPleb @CC_TheDem236 If we have Patty money, and all the circus it sounds like it’ll entail, I’d take Armstrong at Perth. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

@CC_TheDem236 Mine is based on literally nothing my guy - I think I just want to will it into existence because of how awesome it would be. It would not shock me if he ended up at Brisbane (presuming he is indeed returning)

I fully expect us to be talking about Taran Armstrong joining the Tasmania JackJumpers within the fortnight. #NBL #NBL27

@NBLPleb Pleb, personally I cannot wait to see Gleeson return to another franchise. I wasn’t big on Rillie, but 3 straight semi’s says a lot. The #redarmy meltdown will make Chernobyl look like a fire drill. I don’t understand the toxicity of the fan base at the moment.

At this point, I would be shocked if Gleeson isn't the next 36ers head coach. Once the playoffs are completed in the B.League, I fully expect the announcement to come straight after. #NBL #NBL27

@_rashad90 @NBLPleb What is your concern with Perth? The NBL isn’t what it was. We aren’t the only dominant team. Others now have more money and at least equivalent facilities. 3 semi finals series on the bounce.

@NBLPleb I don’t know how much more I can take staying silent on Perth - being a lifelong fan. If this does happen, do you think it puts Rillie under more unnecessary pressure?

@NBLPleb The greatest movie of all time, released as the best 6th man is history was born.

Cannot believe Jesse Wagstaff is 40. He was literally weeks old when Top Gun was released (1986). Father time got his work cut out for him. #NBL #NBL27

@NBLPleb Hugely disappointing as a Cat fan if true. Thought he could have really anchored us towards the end of this season. No doubt he’ll get plenty of minutes in Cairns. Just may not get too much playoff ball.

👂Next Star Luke Paul is a 🔒 and done deal for the Cairns Taipans. #NBL #NBL27

@JFalleiro Great stat to further your anti-Wildcats agenda. Only 6 Cats coaches have made a GF series. Rillie and the Wildcats are the only club to make the last 3 semi final series. The NBL isn’t what it was. We are no longer the only big club in the league.

No coach in Perth Wildcats history has been afforded a 5th season without a semi final series victory. John Rillie would be the first, ahead of his 5th season, without a finals series victory.. #NBL27

@PeterHooley12 Pete, get in his ear, get in Mark Arenas ear. Call Danny Mills if you have to. Perth is crying out for him and Jake Paul to lead the team with JR Junior backing them up.

😏 #NBL27

@Meilingday @PeterHooley12 @OlgunUluc I think the thought of it excites me more than it actually happening. Like Ronaldo returning to Man United a few years back. Does it make us better, maybe. Does it sells singlets, absolutely. And I don’t think that’s how you should recruit.

Hmm Patty Mills in red? Well I’m open to it if he is…. Not gonna go down that rabbit hole of excitement @PeterHooley12 @OlgunUluc #redarmy #marketplace #nbl27

@JFalleiro Take Mills out of the roster and add in Ducas, Mojave King & Carlin Davison, I’ll be a very happy Perth fan. PG- LP, JR SG- EP, MK SF- DW, CD PF- CD, AD, JW, CH C- JLA, DO Get Dontae back as a DP and I’m putting money a ring!

Is this a title contending team and more importantly, a realistically affordable team? 🤔 😄 #NBL27

@TrystanSpooner @AdamWesterhout I thought Dash had been linked with a move to SEM. We are in the same spot with Noa, at this stage. Feel like a move to Cairns could work well for Noa. Fordey would look after him and he’d get some decent minutes.

@MattyHoofaT @AdamWesterhout My thoughts exactly, and Melbourne United in particular have a knack of recruiting West Aussies. However they already have Dash Daniels as their Next Stars player for #NBL27.

Darryl MacDonald to Perth as an Associate Head Coach would be very welcomed.

@TrystanSpooner @AdamWesterhout I’ve said it for a while. Would be absolutely criminal if Adam Silver gets up on draft night 2028 and calls Luke Paul from the Sydney Kings or Melbourne United.

@MattyHoofaT @AdamWesterhout I certainly hope so Matt. Luke Paul graduated from the Perth Wildcats Academy this year and is highly touted as the Next Big Thing in Australian Basketball.

@TrystanSpooner @AdamWesterhout Aussie Hoopla is reporting that he expects Paul to sign with Perth. I hope he is right!

@AdamWesterhout Perth needs a Point Guard, if Luke Paul somehow signs with the Wildcats he can learn a lot from D-Mac. One of the greatest Point Guards in NBL History D-Mac was.

@statsman74 @RalphyHeraldSun @FOXFOOTY How many people do you think Carlton has at a game of footy. 25 players, 4-5 coaches, doctors, physios, injured players, board members, office staff. Surely, one of the 50+ people there last night saw what was going on and said something that someone else chose to ignore.

@RalphyHeraldSun @FOXFOOTY How does not a single player, coach or medical team member not notice the behaviour during the game and do something about it? Hard to fathom the scenario of everyone not noticing.

Carlton's statement on Elijah Hollands as the club continues to talk to the league about why he stayed on the field for so long last night when it was so apparent he was battling @FOXFOOTY "The Carlton Football Club is continuing to provide close and ongoing care to Elijah Hollands, who suffered a mental health episode on Thursday night. The 23-year-old is continuing to receive the appropriate level of medical and wellbeing support, with Hollands' welfare remaining the number one priority. The Club also remains in contact with the AFL and the AFLPA, given the complicated nature of what occurred on Thursday night."

@JFalleiro Has Perth ever really had a core locals? Especially WA locals? Just look at the retired jerseys. 4 naturalised Americans, 2 West Aussies, 1 from NSW, Jesse is from ACT. Bruton is a naturalised American. So is Bryce (now).

Perth seem to miss out on alot of key recruiting battles. Im not feeling that destination club vibe any more. Building & maintaining a quality local core has been something our off court team has struggled to manage for a while now. #NBL27

@NBLPleb I think we can officially rule Perth out of that discussion. And probably Sydney given their roster line up.

NBA veteran T.J. Warren has set his eyes on Australia and is pursuing the NBL for the 2026-2027 season, sources told Fox Sports. #NBL #NBL27

@Beasted2 @NBLPleb Taran Armstrong and Luke Paul. Armstrong in for the departing Henshall and Paul for Noa.

@NBLPleb I just want to see the Wildcats sign a Point Guard

The 2026-2027 NBL Free Agency officially opens tomorrow morning, 9AM (AEDT). What player is one you most want to see signed and where? #NBL #NBL27

@JosiahHayes17 @NBLPleb Think you’d struggle with Mennenga and Waarndenburg in the same team. I’d have loved one of them in Perth, but JLA means it can’t happen.

@NBLPleb Waardenburg or Elijah Pepper to the Breakers

@NW_FreshPrince @NBLPleb Not sure you need another veteran added to Dads Army. Melbourne need some youth.

@NBLPleb Selfishly I want Majok Majok back to Melbourne United 🤓 Need a Vet in the locker room

@NBLPleb I’d also take Taran Armstrong if/when Henshall goes to college.

@NBLPleb Pepper & Okwera back to Perth. Throw in Ducas & Mojave King. Then we need to release Noa and sign Paul. I don’t care about any other signing. Adam Silver needs to be calling out Luke Paul from the Perth Wildcats, not Melbourne or Sydney in 2028.
