Perth Shootaround and Trade Day Thread

[Fleer57]

Just a crazy thought I thought i'd put out there...

Anyone in Perth interested in catching up just for fun to play some ball? Personally haven't played in about 10 years so nothing too competitive - just for fun Maybe on a Saturday or something.

Could bring some of your PC to have a look through, maybe even make some trades...

If anyone's interested I could look around for a court to book. I'm open to ideas...

Cheers,
Daniel

Hey I would be interested in this. But it would have to be nearer to the end of November as it would be a bit hard to come all the way from Mexico.
Good idea

I tell you what maybe we can do a live web play. You guys play over there and I will play over here at the same time. It might work.

Hey mate Im playing BBall atm after 12 years this year lets just say im rusty and old! always keen for some more ball to help my game lol im not a big bloke in height wise but had a solid body hehe

Flap yeah. This is a great idea. Count me in for sure!

Could bring a portable stereo to listen to some classic balling tunes such as:

Need to make it on my weekend off though!!!

Sounds like a great idea but for me personally (although I voted within the last 12 months) I have only gone down for a shoot around after many years of abusing my body and not shooting hoops for too many years

If you need a good place to shoot around with a place nearby for a bit of a trade session just hit me up. Armadale has some decent courts available in the mornings most Sundays

That would not be too difficult, my 10 year old daughter could run rings around me these days

Add an option for 15+ years

How about you assemble Team Melbourne and Fleer57 assembles Team Perth and you guys duke it out to see which team of card collecting out-of-shape ballers will take home bragging rights?
I can just see it now, "Did you see how I crossovered that fool?!" "Don't reach young blood, don't reach young blood!!!"

 

[Tom12]

I'm keen

Some of us may actually not need a make-up crew to look like Uncle Drew! haha

I am not far off the look but nowhere near the skills of Uncle Drew lol That is why I play 2k .... to make up for my lack of real talent

This sounds like a great idea, are there 10 "nearly healthy enough" players available, or should we make it "4-a-side" halfcourt instead?

 

[West Oz Cards]

3 v 3 with subs would be better, that way when you run out of steam or need a smoko break you can just jump out.

 

[Fleer57]

yeah im fine with anyone that isn't 1 on 1. I'm just not naturally gifted at 1 on 1. You know how it is.

 

[West Oz Cards]

So what is better for people a Saturday , Sunday or a weekday?

And what venue/location is going to be most suitable for the majority?

I'd prefer a weekend. And I live in Joondalup, so I'm not travelling any further than Gosnells!!!! hahaha Prefer a beach-side location.

I was also thinking if we are doing a trade day at the same time, could just do it in the A1 car-park if someone can bring a portable hoop..

**edit, better yet an adjustable height hoop so we can make it 7 feet high so Terry can get a dunk in!!!

 

[drob50]

I'm in!!! But North Albany..... I mean Gosnells is too far.

Too much driving means less trading/shooting

 

[Fleer57]

I'm in Dawesville so 70 mins south of Perth but I don't mind driving - i'll pretend i'm royce white on the way to a game.

Was actually originally thinking somewhere central as in perth central... maybe ECU mt lawley indoor courts or something. Honestly i have no idea. Maybe we can do north and south conferences. haha
