Getting a bit frustrating tbh doesn't seem like coscomo is doing anything to change it up

Cotton struggling, turnovers, missed shots. Hawks look strong.

I can't think of anything the Cats are doing well this season. Their offence is horrible and has no structure, and seems to rely on the occasional individual brilliance (of Law or Cotton usually) just to score. Their defence is at times non-existent. Their rebounding is nowhere near the level of recent previous seasons. I know it's almost a meme at this point, but I can really see this season being the season that the streak comes to an end. The team has plenty of talent, so I can only look squarely at the coach.

Morrison and Buford have both come into the league and assumed that their NBA systems will work, and it's going badly for both of them.

I think this wildcats team is allergic to basketball.

Reath needs to stop thinking he's a 6’11 shooting guard who shoots floaters. Hawks have looked better without him.

Good to see some heart with that fightback, but as mentioned above it was very individual. Not sustainable.
I don't get why a team would start sending doubles at Cotton when they already have him contained. It's about the easiest way to guarantee a high-percentage look for some other wildcat after he busts it.

The danger now is if ScoMo fails and the team remain locked out he can use no home games as an excuse.

Geez you Perth fans are fickle. Up 8 on the road again at a very good team and calling for the coaches head. Winning ugly is still winning.


Harvey so overrated. Doesn't play a lick of defense and inconsistent shooter. And once again Reath has showed why he has zero basketball IQ.

Reath losing this game for the Hawks. Been terrible

Who is that midget and why is he guarding Bryce in crunch time ??

Not sure why that bogan midget is getting playing time when it's not a massive blow out.



People calling for morrisons head in a 14 point win. Incredible.

Gaze and Homicide couldn't give Perth any credit until the last minute of junk time. They were so filthy.
I look forward to Homicide still not rating Perth during the week.

How did Perth win that so easily in the second half?
I think it was more of a case the Hawks were so rubbish!

Exactly - they went 5/27 from three.

Nice to shut up Homicide for a bit.
Even Gaze was getting annoyed with Corey and called him out for his multiple "Cotton is the best import ever" statements made throughout the game. Homicide doesn't even know the history of the NBL.

time for Homicide to get kicked off the commentator panel. too much rubbish talk and never stops.

did the hawks make a mistake of signing harvey for three yrs?

Loggins played on too long like alot of stars from that era.

Harry Froling only got 5 minutes playing time after his solid performance in the last game.

Perth ran a very small line up for good part of the game, harry can't guard Law. Coach Morrison actually showed that he might be fine, did goorg over.

Great fightback, Frazier underrated and Todd back to where he left off before the injury/surgery. Law's second quarter gave us the spark. Hid midrange game is money when he creates that space.
Rathan-Mayes is a player, I'd be starting him over Harvey, but it won't happen.

How much can the Cats also put it down to the fact the team still hasnt played many games together due to all the injuries? I know the offence is different but perhaps once players are all back and healthy it will start to look better? Have they all played a game together yet?
Weakness in my opinion is at the 5 spot, Hodgson and Majok is a terrible combination.

I think this was the first game the Cats had all 10 of the main rotation players available so yes it has to be a bit of a factor for us.
Pretty sure just about everyone has suffered similar disruptions though.
Hodgson is bit of a concern, yeah. He had 2 games off the bench to ease back in and then started vs Hawks, so hopefully he starts to deliver more pretty soon.
Last game we went with small ball to change the front court matchups. Don't want to have to do that every time we come up against a team with decent bigs.
It has been a slow build for the Cats so far. Law, Cotton & Wagstaff bailing us out early in the season, but since then we're starting to get contributions from others so hopefully Hodgson is next in line for that.
