NBL 23/24/25 Season Thread

[ManOfClay]

He looked like the kind of bloke that would own a Derrimut gym

His aesthetic screamed motorcycle and male camaraderie to me

Refs, Wells and Trez all mic’d up. The NBL know exactly what went on. Davis went off his nuts at the spectator who then went off sheepishly covering his face.

Those seats aren’t cheap and you don’t buy them anonymously. They know who owns the seats and they know that they would know who this joker is. Half the problem I expect will be who that person is and the sort of “influence” they might have.

They don't have more "influence" than Trez who will be speaking to his NBA mates good or bad about coming here. The NBL need to handle this one well...

**** the guy, plaster his face everywhere and ban him

The Herald Sun has already written an article naming and shaming one of them with full details and his connections.

Harrell has been charged with two charges of striking, engaging in a melee and inappropriate grabbing or handling of a spectator.

Something about talking to Melbourne about Melbourne.

Single member on the tribunal is Larry?

 

[brucetiki]

Well, that explains why they're not rushing to identify the spectator

Wouldn’t surprise me.


Also wouldn’t surprise me if we don’t hear about the fan from the nbl again. Investigation ongoing is code for “we will say this until you all forget”

 

[El Doederino]

If a spectator is acting aggressively and racially vilifying you, I would say the grabbing and handling was either extremely appropriate, or inappropriate in that it wasn't forceful enough.

 

[burge13]

If Trez and Davis get OTT punishments I hope they just walk away. Would kill our season but it'll hurt the league more so they'd be cutting their nose to spite their face

The NBL does so much well but they can't quite get to a point of being an equal national comp can they? Just have to favour Melb and Sydney no matter what

The spectator is probably lucky Griscti was the closest to Davis and held him back. Had Davis and trezz been shoulder to shoulder KD was likely going to be all over the grey hoodied tosser - he was going much more wild than Harrell.

 

[El Doederino]

The NBL statement makes it clear this is solely to do with the players and coaches, and fan behaviour is still being investigated.

Expect it will just be a ban for the ticket holders and thats it. Which will be piss weak if thats the case.

 

[El Doederino]

In an article I read, one of the free to air tv's had a rep there and the NBL owner was shmoozing them for the next rights deal.

They might like the scandal, but they would not like the allegations of racist and homophobic abuse.

And then the relationship with the NBA might be torn up if the NBL are seen to not take this seriously.

 

[skam85]

If Trez gets suspended this won't be the last we hear of it, club won't be taking it lying down at all.

 

[offtherails9]

That's a farce. He'll end up never coming back. This league is a joke
