It’s like Australian media haven’t heard of the Boomers. Here is the top 2 sports stories from News Corp today. Imagine if Soccer was doing what the Boomers are doing right now.
When we rescued the 36ers
@AndrewGaze10
called me and offered to fly over and do a business lunch to help us raise money for the team. “ if it helps you guys raise 10 grand then that would be great because what you are trying to do is so important “ Legend.
Melbourne Cup a couple of years ago and Delta asked Corey for a photo. This was such a moment of validation for him. “ we doin it B” He re-created himself and dragged the

up along the way. That was the plan all along. Hype it into existence.
It’s a 1 point ball game and listening and watching Rucker and someone else talk about another game. FFS
@NBL
get a decent producer who knows what is going on
I love in the Boomers Insta video about Jack and Will making the team the first thing Will asks “‘Did Jack make it?”
Biggest moment of his life and he asked about his
@JackJumpers
team mate. Simply brilliant.
Awesome little moment at the 36ers game tonight when Montrezl was yelling out Hungry Jacks with Sydney on the FT line. 6 weeks ago he wouldn’t know what that means. He has 100% endeared himself to the
@Adelaide36ers
fan base.

If Joe isn’t going to play - why was he selected? To appease the culture guy? Should have taken Rocco, Furphy etc to start bleeding in the next generation.
For the second year in a row

#NBL19
Delly has out played Daniels and Giddey tonight. Only locks from here for mine are Landale, Reath, Matisse, Exum, Green ,McVeigh, Mills and Ingles. Everything else is a debate.
Sigh
@BasketballAus
has not tweeted a single thing about this game since it started. Our game deserves so much better than what it gets from its own people.
Ridiculous behaviour from Baynes. Elder statesman of Australian basketball letting his emotions get the better of him. Yet the
@NBL
commentators can’t say exactly what has happened because they aren’t in the arena!
#NBL24
A finer man you will never meet. Thank you
@wrightcoach12
for everything you have brought to Adelaide on the court and off it. Proud to call you a friend.
Reflecting on the Boomers. Amazing that the team has grown to a level where we expect a medal rather than hope for a medal. And remember Patty was once a kid who got sent back to the G League by Portland. Now in contention for WC MVP.

talking about Boston fans riding Kyrie. Recall a game at Apollo after Andrew was in hospital with thrombosis to his arm from painting. Bunch of guys turned up with paint tins and rode him all game. The 🐐 posed for photos with them post game. Classic
What Ben Ayre is doing in
@CairnsTaipans
is nothing short of amazing. Never stopped believing, never stopped looking for his chance. Now getting 20 in a game against the best team in the league and surely a roster spot for next season.
#NBL22
The most common word people are using to describe Corey is joy. That’s bang on. He brought joy , his smile , his laugh , his willingness to help so many people. Joy.
Hearing DJ has indeed played his last game as a 36er. Absolute warrior on court and an exemplary human off it. An absolute joy to watch go from a kid to a leader in his time in Adelaide
I’ve known
@joetertzakian
for 20 years and the 36ers are now weaker for moving him on. You don’t replace passion and professionalism for a job that he brings. Another front office shambles decision.
Very sad to start the day reading of the passing of Jack Bendat. We went to war together against BA when they tried to steal our basketball teams. He sent flowers when my daughter was born. What an absolute legend of a man. I learnt a lot from him and I know I’m not alone in that

@NBL
fans should know if it wasn’t for the Blackwell family in 2009 the league would have collapsed. It’s time for Aussies to return the favour.
#NBL22
The bust part of the “Championship or Bust” for Adelaide. The team has slid relentlessly since chasing Mitch Creek out of town and sacking Joey Wright. Generational boneheaded decisions.
So Sobey received 2 head butts and he gets ejected, DJ wipes Kickerts blood back onto him and gets fined, Joey send a private email as directed by the NBL and gets fined, Kennedy refuses to shake BJ’s hand and BJ is unsporting. No agenda here at all
@nbl
Today we said goodbye to Greg Olbrich. I tell you what if your funeral is at a basketball stadium and it was full of good people, that says all you need to know about how well you lived your life and how good you were to others while you were here.
@NBL
From the same organization that let a player pick the Boomers squad, allowed Liz Cambage to behave however she wanted and used Ben Simmons to get money out of the Vic government? Credibility doesn’t exist with BA.
Remember when the
@NBL
stopped Chima Moneke playing in Australia despite living in Australia almost his whole life and letting other nationals play as locals.
Met someone today. Their friend was given 2 days to live. After taking black market cannabis oil under approval from their GP/ specialist it’s now been 6 months and they are going strong. The system is broken if we make this person a criminal.
@amapresident
Does any other team in the NBL have the owner and GM sit within 2 metres of the coach? Big distraction and unnecessary pressure on the players for Adelaide.
#NBL25
Spent a lot of time looking at this thing today. The people it has brought into my life. The friendships, the moments in life. All the stuff this thing has done and how much joy it has brought me. Thank you basketball. Today I’ve seen the best of you.
About 12 years ago
@Patty_Mills
and I walked down Rundle Mall together without a single request for a pic or signature. Today a few thousand people await him
The
@NZBreakers
have all but stitched up an
@NBL
finals spot. History says 15 wins get you in. With 15 games to go they only need 2 more wins to reach that mark. What a reward for the 2 years they went through with COVID interference
On a conference call once Jack started the meeting by asking the 4 or 5 BA lawyers present what their hourly rate was and who the lead council was. He then went round the table pointing “ you don’t need to be here “ to all but one. He got THEIR lawyers to leave. Wild.
Boomers have gone from picking players based on their training camp performance to picking players not deemed good enough to be at camp in the first place. Inconsistent message.
Big hello to all the people who messaged me to say the game was over at half time. This squad is fearless. DJ has a bad night and the next guy steps up.
#NBL25
I’m sure it’s nothing. Of the 14 home games this season Melbourne play 8 games against the team playing their second game of the round. Adelaide that only happens 6 times Kings 9 times. Playing at home v a team on its second game is a big advantage.
#NBL25
Right now I am not sad it’s over and I am glad it happened. Patty’s leadership , Dante proving he belongs, Jock getting his NBA deal , Mattise’s boomerang throwing, Nick Kay being our most consistent. Loved all of it.

I know of one site that found out they had been listed as a COVID site through social media. They closed their business for a day, deep cleaned etc etc reopened and then SA Health notified them. Beyond incompetent.
