@PerthWildcats
Jesse Wagstaff has been cleared to return for today's game.
Dexter Kernich-Drew is also back into the lineup.

I dunno about yuge, depends who the Cats would rather face in the first round.

I was being sarcasmic. I'm expecting it to be the suck. But maybe I will be happily surprise.

If he'd hit 6 triples in a quarter I would have started a new thread for that game. Oh well. Almost.

Does Conraad play with Cairns or Perth? Pretty awesome player either way to hit 5 three's before the game even started.

What's that got to do with Goat Moller? Keep up.

Hawks turn it up too late. LOL @ NSW teams playing well at the wrong time.
Also I am expecting the Tamecats game to be fantastically craptastic.



Are the Hawks bench celebrating Refs Appreciation Week or something? Why are their polos identical to the ones the refs wear?

Wildcats $1.25, Taipans $4 in a game that might be meaningless.

I don't think the Cats would want to go into the playoffs with 3 straight losses

Carfino's raving non-stop about Kay. Looks like the Kings recruitment drive starting real early... oh that's right its their pre-season after all... SMH

"I don't think the Cats would want to go into the playoffs with 3 straight losses"
I don't think so either, but I also think it's possible (at least I hope it is) that they'll want to limit the minutes of some key players. If the result becomes meaningless then they'd be foolish to chase it too hard.

(But having said that, the whole last round is generally "do not touch" for me when it comes to betting)

I think they need form and confidence. If they don't try their utmost to win it's insane. Understand the idea behind monitoring injuries etc though and of course if it's looking out of reach then resting certain players would be a good option.

What you get from the shops, Udog?
What does it feel like to have money to buy things?

It was already answered above. He bought from the Perry Ellis range. Shirt or trousers though?


Perry Ellis range?
1 foot from the basket and closer?


It wont matter where perth finishes they are losing no matter who they play in the playoffs. It's a talentless team

Defence wins championships numbnutz
That's the competitive advantage the Cats have over every other team

Perth really getting the short straw with these unsportsmanlikes. Surwly that was just a contested ball, there were players back

I don't remember a Cats team give up this many O boards repeatedly though.
I expect things to change in the offs


The drop off in production perth gets once the bench guys come in if really bad.

Hahaha nice.
You think 1 out of 2 in Perth is a failure?

If Perth can get something out of Damo and some of the bench guys from here then they may challenge Adelaide

Commentators talking as though Goulding's ankle is serious...

CG Flopping will be a flop yet again when it counts. Prather and Ware will need to carry his ass in the real season




Holy shit Homocide on the Cats?

Yeah nice one, Heuir.
I'm out. See you next season, Snakes.
Rewatching episodes of Rake on Netflix looking pretty good rn


Lol @ everyone writing off the Cats
They will make the GF

Manu cowers away to binge watching a series since the Cats are on fire, lol.


Manu off to binge watch seasons 1-5 of MKR
Quality viewing too

Haha nah I'm still here. Ride or die baby.
I'll be happy seeing Perth and Adelaide go toe-to-toe over a 3-game (hopefully) series, wearing each other out while United cruises

I like the semi final matchups for Perth and NZ

Hit up Altered Carbon on Netflix, Manu. Gold.
See you next season ;)

Haha I just watching Altered Carbon the other night

Manu Fieldel

Hmm. Altered Carbon is set in the future and that scares me. I don't like looking too far ahead.
Might watch The Big Short. The collapse of the US housing market doesn't scare me as much

I can't believe Logan isn't on Netflix. What a gyp

I can't believe the amount of flailing Cotton does when he hits six threes while embarrassing the listless Taipans. Who does he think he is? Alex Loughton?



According to redhage and Reid the cats are back... again. Reality they get swept. Next time cats fans see them, they are down 1-0 and play a panicked tight style. Enjoy.

Yeah that actually is exciting.
I remember for years there I lived on nothing but bread and milk. Actually I think it was water. Yeah.

That flattered oerths defence. It was better, but still not great. Perth fouls or gets called for way too many fouls. Not a recipie for success

let's see how much home cooking perth gets in adelaide

Perth shouldn't really be celebrating. With few exceptions their play in the last two months have been below par.
They remain very good defenders but even Melbourne are better defenders this year going by Liam Santamaria's advanced stats.
Their penchant for running the clock down to 10 then giving it to Cotton will likely get exposed in the playoffs. Should be a great series.

At their best they will demolish team's, as bad as they been, they weren't to far of top spot.
Adelaide and Melbourne played brilliant, Perth played shit for half the season.
