Man, we can’t have shit in Melbourne.
Can one prospect not be a fuckwit. I mean he went to St Kelvin’s so we shoulda seen something coming.
I guess De Goey has been dethroned as St Kelvins biggest, and most known wanker.
What a stupid and disappointing way to throw it all away.
Kyrie, Simmons, Giddey.
Oof… need another two to round out the lineup though
kyrie has some wild opinions but is still a good dude. simmons is soft and has back issues. comparing them to a pedo is crazy
Simmons goes for fresh 18 year olds.
Nah fuck kyrie an anti-vax anti-semite that refused to play for his country and then went on to play for the usa… same energy as hitler was better than laverentiy beria cause at least he didn’t fuck kids 💀
Why couldn't we get Patty Mills instead? Fucking Canberra man
Went to school with Patty (he was 4 years older or something though so not a lot of overlap) and I couldn't be prouder.
Man if you manage to top De Goey you’ve fucked up.
You basically wrote down my thoughts verbatim.
I was so proud to be basically from the same neighbourhood that Simmons is from, and then proud to have Giddey show up at Doncaster Shoppingtown for a meet and greet back in April.
It hurts. Somehow two players with all the talent in the world manage to make the NBA from fricking Melbourne, they are ours, and they both f*** it up.
Somebody make sure Gazey is doing okay.
Yall are making Simmons look worse than he is. He got back injuries he's not a kid fiddler lmaoo
We would have given him a pass if it was just injury issues. It's the perceived or real lack of effort or desire to work on his weaknesses, the quitting on Philly after Rivers and Embiid made their comments after the Trae Young game, the contract holdout, and then blowing off playing for Australia to jet off to London to watch the tennis. Its the numerous offseason videos showing his new and improved jumper only to not attempt to shoot outside of 5 ft when the actual season rolls around.
And still you're absolutely right because, Giddey, overnight, managed to f*** up worse than any of the above.
I agree that it's a bullshit comparison, but Aussies aren't just pissed at Simmons cause of his back injuries, it's because at the same time our young socialite was causing drama with Philly and playing bad in the playoffs, he also turned his back on passing for the Australian team, especially at the Olympics and for FIBA etc and especially when Patty Mills and all many of our other ballers were committing to the team 200%
Bruh when he was drafted people here where excited there might be an Australian star in the nba since bogut never really filled that spot when he was expected to, simmons than went on to become a walking meme that refused and still refuses to play for his own countries national team, bitched and whined his way outta philly and is now an overpaid role player
We still got our national treasure in Delly
As someone from Sydney, I have no idea what a St Kelvins is lmao
It's kinda funny how different sounding names and things are in Sydney and Melbourne.
Everything in Melbourne and everything about that city is a shittier version of something from Sydney.
I hate degoey lol, and I’m a pies fan, we should have kept Grundy, but degoey did give us a flag lmao
