Great work now you just have to somehow manage to get Reimers in the lineup. And you will have my full faith.

Another win - albeit tighter than I would have liked. However, we are two for two, so I can't complain.

The game in five:

1. The team was lethargic early, with the UAE getting out to a six point lead, before an 8 point Walker burst off the bench in the first quarter ensured that the teams would go in nearly level at quarter time

2. The second quarter was Reiffel's quarter, as the SF put up 11 points, and only missed one shot for the quarter.

3. Both of the UAE bigs had double doubles at the half - a big reason why they were only four points behind at half time. Our interior defense and rebounding was a big concern for the night.

4. The team exploded offensively in the third quarter, scoring 36 points including 5 threes, as we blew the game open.

5. Querido rode the bench for most of the night (despite being backup PF) - but got his first competitive NT minutes, and scored his first NT points late in the game.

3. Leigh Reiffel - Easy pick. His burst in the second quarter kept us in the game early. Our leading scorer, and one of our leading passers, and did it with efficient shooting and no turnovers. A great game from someone who was only expected to be a role player tonight.

2. Darren Lonergan - Scored efficiently from the PF spot, gave a few assists, and gave us some extra chances with his offensive rebounding. Solid throughout the night.

1. Brent Degas - Did a fine job scoring - though it would be nice to see him hitting his threes at a slightly better clip and conceding less TOs.

Leaderboard:

3 - Scott Schneider; Leigh Reiffel; Brent Degas
2 - Darren Lonergan
1 - Jone Bogan
-1 - Keith Anderson


Rudolph Radford medal:

3. Darren Lonergan - Was our only bloke who could grab a board, and was switched onto defending the opponent's C, and did a fine job there. Also had a couple of swats.

2. Brent Degas - Opposing PGs went a combined 2-16, so that gives him the nod here.

1. Vladimir Shishaev - More a point by default than anything, as the opposing SGs did about what I would expect in a LI offense.

-1. Scott Schneider - After a great game last weak, he earns the coach's wrath this week by letting his opponent go 13-17. Not what I would expect from him.

(for the record our PF and C were switched defensively)

Leaderboard:

3. Darren Lonergan
2. Lionel Walker; Scott Schnieder
1. Brent Degas; Vladimir Shishaev; Keith Anderson

Jackson Mansfield medal leaderboard:

With Schneider having a down game, and Lonergan a great one, we have a new joint leader this week.

Great write up. (Plus 1)

Hope we r able to get new Aussie homes for Anderson & Bogan

Yep, so everyone knows there are a couple of Aussie players on the market:

Jone Bogan (13436463)
Keith Anderson (22818997)

Both are selling cheap. While they have high salaries, you'll get around 15 per cent of that back each week in merch I believe - since they are locked into the starting 12. Could be great players for someone making a title push.

Also, the owner of Burl Barth (26455943) has been looking to sell him. If you are interested in training up one of Australia's best young guards, and have a spare couple of mill floating around, get in touch with the owner.

If Bogan sells for more then 300k, then I'll be very mad =P

Good write ups of the NT games btw.

Great coaching and a great writeup. Well done mllama a terrific season so far.

Good to see Anderson back in safe Aussie hands.

there were a couple of smelly foreign div 3 teams bidding, had to keep them away from them, no doubt they were going to cut him, he'd be listed at 500k and we'd lose him.

Kind of like Jalajamani aye? =P

I knew i was going to buy Anderson and figured Jalajamani's tremendous ID would be a threat to Andersons NT career so had to take him off the map

If id known I was going to win against Aussie tonight in the cup, I might just have had a bid on Anderson in the hope that I could provide him with some temporary accommodation for 5 or 6 weeks.

With your latest 2 acquisitions your team certainly looks a bit stronger and of course will be stronger again when some fool takes Tully off your hands
