Sharing my opinion of things from an Australian perspective, and of course supporting the Perth Wildcats!

@AnneWebsterMP 225,000+ Working Holiday Makers already in Australia. How many is enough? Maybe the Libs should try to fix the system so it's more than 3 regional months per 2 year stay instead of blaming Albo. ON have triggered debate but please keep them out of power or we'll be a mini-USA.

@PerthWildcats We're down by more than 20, the refereeing is abismal. We should just walk out and forfeit the game. Seriously. Would that result in a 20-0 defeat as per FIBA rules? We'd be better off!

[AUpinion @AUpinion]

@PerthWildcats KP was on fire! We love you big guy - hoping this is your year!

[AUpinion @AUpinion]

@NBL @WestAustralia Games were great, music was great but it would have been better if we could have gotten a bit of a larger group going closer to Hayden James. Jamming in the stands didn't really work and the arena staff were keeping people away from the lower area so everyone just left. Pity.

[AUpinion @AUpinion]

Dante Exum and Dyson Daniels impressed too.

[AUpinion @AUpinion]

Duop Reath and Dilli almost saved us. Refs were poor at best. Boomers need to go back to free throw school but it WAS a frustrating game. #boomers #Paris2024

@HarryGarside2 Mate, saw how disappointing it was for you at the Olympics but hold your head up as you're one of the best for just getting there. Keep trying to be the best person you can be and don't let this disappointment define you but look forward to better things to come!

[AUpinion @AUpinion]

@milsy007 @PerthWildcats I also wonder if JR hounding the refs from the sidelines actually influences them to be MORE biased against us than if he stayed a bit calmer (maybe that's true of us in the crowd too??) When we (coach, players and fans) get frustrated and negative we play worse and lose games

[AUpinion @AUpinion]

Is it coincidence that the refs AND the Jackies both wear green? I think not! #NBL24 #RedArmy

[AUpinion @AUpinion]

@milsy007 @PerthWildcats Not blaming it ALL on the refs but they still irked me. Like in game 1 when Ush got clotheslined by Lee, why a discussion about the unsportsmanlike when it clearly was? Around the neck kinda has to be! Game 2 had that foul when Ush didn't touch him and we won the review

[AUpinion @AUpinion]

@milsy007 @PerthWildcats I do feel like our coaching is all about being the best PLAYER you can be and then when it all kinda clicks we're a gokd team but I think that we need some more strategic thinking about how we can structure things to be the best TEAM we can be

[AUpinion @AUpinion]

@milsy007 @PerthWildcats But you can only initiate reviews in certain circumstances so they're certainly no cure for when lots of calls don't go your way, like when there was a foul but there was no call...

[AUpinion @AUpinion]

@PerthWildcats See the sneaky push by Magnay? The game was full of things like this that the refs didn't call. The cats and the crowd got frustrated and it all fell apart...

[AUpinion @AUpinion]

@Mattblack1968 Almost as many in green as yellow from what I can see

[AUpinion @AUpinion]

@Mattblack1968 Duh um green is one of their colours and I've seem some disgraceful calls (or lack thereof)

[AUpinion @AUpinion]

@samfroling_ hope you feel guilty for your hit job on Doolittle. The Hawks philosophy must be "if you can't beat 'em clean, beat 'em dirty". Idk who is worse, your team or the biased refs. Shame on the @NBL for the way you officiate this 'non contact' sport! Shame, shame on you.

[AUpinion @AUpinion]

@NBL One angle of the replay shows Froling puts a bit extra on it at the moment of impact. Dirty. Hawks play dirty. No respect for your team or the biased refs. @NBL sucks

[AUpinion @AUpinion]

@Perth_Traffic False. Whole southbound ramp is closed. You cannot exit at all to go east or west. Please make clearer posts/info

[AUpinion @AUpinion]

Totally agree with this article

Hope you're ok @jackmilleraus. That looked like a nasty tumble! Not much from the commentary except that the incident was to be reviewed.
