• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Look at the roster right now.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: There's been some classic, classic players that's just coming on board to fill in and I think we've got a really, really, really good team.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: In my advice, one of the hardest teams are going to be playing and Adelaide Entertainment Centre really rocked this house and hopefully you've got a membership because it's going to be a whipping season.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not expecting to win like overall, I hope to win most games, but they do have the 15th to the 18th One weekend in Perth, western Australia, and I've got to say this is going to be a huge night as 135 days.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: This is going to be a huge night as 135 days, 16 hours and plus 39 and minus 9, 39 minutes and we're under.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: This is going to be a fun, fun day as well.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: We shared the WNBL and I cannot wait.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: You know it's going to be a really good season, I think.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: For the, they've got a new app.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: It's fantastic, you know.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Support not just for the girls but as well the men's, but especially the girls, and how amazing.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: You know it's the second thing time frame and I think that's going to be a fantastic know.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Their season starts mid-October and all in round one with the South Eastern Flyers, take on the Canberra Capitals and then Glyon and Sydney and then so on and so on.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: But what's amazing to start the season from the beginning of.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: You know how awesome.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: I'll do my very hardest and best to go as many games as possible to support the LA Lightning as well the LA B6s.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to be fantastic.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: You know how amazing that LA really struggled and I think they're going to do so well.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: They are well-organized, they've got a really good team and hopefully, with the finish off a really disappointing season into a fantastic day.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Overall they finished in the bottom half of that ladder and I think Adelaide Lightning have some great talent on their roster and some have played last year and then continuously play into the new season and we picked up some new talent and hopefully we can find ourselves a disappointing season to move on and play some fantastic basketball for the men's and women's and, like I said, I'll do every effort to go down and support the LA Lightning.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a fun season.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: But that is all we have for today.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: The NBL won its complete formula year and thank you so much.
• 22:16

  Speaker 1: We've got so much to cover on that.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: We've got the test cricket coming at the end of the year, so there'll be some cricket news as well and I can't wait to share with you all with that.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to finish up with today's.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: You know overall and you may not realize that I have not shared cricket because it's really not a cricket season at the moment and much, much more.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: But thank you so much.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: And here we go.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: We do have the final score for the work and this was the final game in the 24th of August.
