Brad&Boti: At last! We can say We told You!

PODCAST partner Brad Rosen and I were feeling pretty chuffed this week, having long ago locked away the correct WNBL and NBL playoff teams and also selected Isobel Borlase to waltz home with the women's MVP. But that's just the tip of the iceberg of this week's Brad&Boti podcast.
AFL State-of-Origin ill-conceived, as usual
CRITICISING the mighty AFL always runs the very real risk of those wiser than I reminding me to "stay in your lane" but as a strong supporter of State-of-Origin footy, I can't believe what the league is about to serve up in Perth on Saturday with its Victoria-WA revisit.
Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE: Bogey, Goorj drawing off-court attention

HOW much of a fuss should the tweet on X by Andrew Bogut really have created? Was Bogey stirring trouble or drawing attention to a crisis in Adelaide? Should there have been a crisis meeting? Joey Wright and I work our way through it at this week's Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast.
Awards night a giant success for WNBL
BENDIGO Spirit guard and Paris Olympian Isobel Borlase tonight added to her growing list of accolades when she won the WNBL's Most Valuable Player award. In the process she joined Kristi Harrower (2010), Anneli Maley (2022) and Sami Whitcomb (2025) as only the club's fourth league MVP recipient.
Bit of a mess WNBL, now for awards, finals
THE first WNBL regular season under its new ownership concluded tonight in Townsville where the Fire ensured themselves of first place and a semi final against Southside, the defending champion Spirit to take on Han Xu and the Perth Lynx shooters in the rival semi series.
Is a crisis meeting overdue for 36ers?
SERIOUSLY now. After last night's NBL loss by the 36ers to Illawarra in Wollongong, you have to start wondering if some sort of crisis meeting is not overdue in Adelaide. Maybe it's past the time club leaders sat down together to discuss whether the team's best chance at a championship is simply blowing away in the wind.
WNBL's sexist agenda will crush its growth

THE greatest threat to the future growth and blossoming of the WNBL is not AFLW, netball, the Matildas or any lack of mainstream acceptance. It is the league's own sexist agenda which purports to equalise a gender imbalance but instead ignores the very basic rule of professional sport.
Brad&Boti: Have the Spirit hit the wall and ugh for 'basketbrawl'

BOTH podcast colleague Brad Rosen and I agree Southside officially will wrap up fourth place in the WNBL playoffs against Canberra, wonder if Bendigo has finally hit the wall, and discuss what's happening in the NBL since the round started with an overblown incident in the Brisbane-Adelaide clash.
Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE: Was that really a brawl?

WHAT really happened in that overhyped so-called NBL "brawl" between Brisbane and Adelaide and were the penalties appropriate? Joey Wright and I discuss it in detail at our Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast this week before we also break down several team breakdowns.
Fines prove clash was much ado about precious little
AND, as is revealed by today's penalties from the NBL's Games Review Panel, that whole Brisbane-Adelaide mini-melee so predictably described by newspapers as "Basketbrawl" - how unbelievably imaginatively original - was, to paraphrase The Bard, quite typically much ado about precious little.
