@BkupWoody Bloody hell, how'd I miss all this. Good to be back.

Thanks everyone for your help 🙏 Looks like I'm never getting my old account back 😭😔 Please tell peeps this is me now me my account was hacked 😳

@NBLPleb But those are the critiques. The rest of it was really good. It's gotta return. I know people think Perth is too far away or whatever, but they don't get to host too many sporting events and they have strong teams in both the NBL and WNBL who embrace the responsibility of hosting

@NBLPleb I'd run it over 3 days rather than 4. The energy on Thursday and Friday was legit like a party, similar on Saturday, although it seemed fans spread their energy over the 3 games. Sunday everyone was asleep. Can't stress enough how much of a catastrophic waste of money AI was.

2026 HoopsFest is now complete. For those who have attended both, how did this years compare? Should it return to Perth for 2027? #NBL #NBL26

@MikeLacey7 Thanks mate. Glad you liked it!

@blumenfeld Any comment on Cam Thomas' 40 piece with 2 fries and 0 milks?

Can Ausar Thompson win most improved if his twin brother is already good? We already know what your genetics were capable of.

@DonCaldwelll "huge tipping point"

Take your bets for which journo will be next to say 'The Merrett Trade to Hawthorn is very much ALIVE again'. Other buzz phrases may include: "It's back on" "Negotiations to extend long into the night" "Last ditch effort" 🎃

@jameboyadvanced @woodstar75 Pick 20, pick 20, pick 40 and Hustwaite? Why?

@lukas_writes @woodstar75 Take it!!!!

@Webby06 Tony's amazing

Tony’s the best. Employ Tony to cover basketball.

Great time to chat WNBA and WNBL. Also on YouTube youtu.be/3cFQoSqWSPU?si…

@MeganHustwaite @Unrivaledwbb Oh see now that's very interesting. Gonna be a huge dynamic switch going from US import 👀 to Han Xu. This season is gonna be epic

@lukas_writes @Unrivaledwbb Nope.

She’s not locked in for @Unrivaledwbb at this point. Has always played well against Perth so they are happy to have her in THEIR colours!

@ShowersPavilion Good point. I'd welcome him. I also feel like we need more mobility in the backline, and loved McGrath in the guts at the end of last season.

@lukas_writes Good question. Hirdy on Trade radio reckons he's worth a look. All players this off season seem over priced. Maybe in 12 months we'll look back and say $500k is modest for most players the way the open market is heading.

Lek Aleer...Yes or No?

@ShowersPavilion I don't know if he'd be worth that, but given how much he's been messed around by the situation, it feels like he could get signed for unders. Question then is, do you give your sixth best backman $500k?

@lukas_writes Asking cos I don't know much about him. Someone just said good depth player, VFL. Saints offered 600-700k didn't they? Is he worth that? I agree we need a little more down back, especially whilst the injury questions still linger over key backs.

@QuentinRolling Really bad for Dons imo. Gotta be Merrett for Butters and if Hawks want Merrett they can send picks and youth to Port

Zak Butters potential deal Ess give Pick 4,5 and future 1st Ess give Pick 4,5 and Tsatas Any of them fair? I personally think either gets Port at least interested.

@NBLPleb Had a couple interesting seasons in Europe, wonder how it all ties in together. If he ends up on the Phoenix the context of everything should be a bit more clear.

Wes Iwundu, 30, is in talks with the South East Melbourne Phoenix. The 6'6 forward has 233 NBA games on his resume, whilst most recently playing in Germany (Rasta Vechta) and Greece (Promitheas Patras). Omari Moore ❌ Vrenz Bleijenberg ❌ Wes Iwundu ❓ #NBL #NBL26

@TheDeepTwoNBA @SeanCarrollNBA Great vid

Should the #MiamiHeat consider kick-starting a rebuild and trade Bam Adebayo? @SeanCarrollNBA explores what a potential deal would do for #HeatNation in the latest episode of The Film Room. youtu.be/j3Usj1_CgUU?si…

@Damion23 I think Luamon has a spot on the list. He showed more heart than most at the club and genuine growth within last season. We've put a lot of time into players who haven't really panned out as clubmen, but he tracks to be one.

Fiorini to play Wing at Essendon... That would spell the end for Luamon Lual at Essendon unless picked back up as a rookie.
