    🌱🦅 MAKER’S MARK: Hawks Steal the Grassroots Game 😩

    So much for grounding the Hawks. 🦅 United won the first quarter, won the fourth and still lost 91–89 to a 1–6 Illawarra side at John Cain Arena. A 35–16 second quarter did the damage, and Makur Maker’s three with 71 seconds left sealed it. United slip to 3–4. 😩 It’s just Shane and Tom this week, and there’s plenty to unpack. United won the rebounds 50–32 and took 17 more free throws, but turned it over 18 times and got outscored 53–24 off the bench. Cole Anthony’s technical cost him most of the first half before he poured in 20 after the break. And yes, Milton Doyle came back to haunt us, with the assist on the winning three. 👀 In this episode:📊 Game by the Numbers: how you win the boards and the free-throw count and still lose🔍 What Decided the Game: the second quarter, the turnovers and the final 1:22🔁 Callback Corner: Tatum’s “different conversation” promise, the Hawks’ bench and our preview headlines🏆 BTB MVP Votes: three, two and one, even in a loss💱 The Blue Exchange: what we’re buying and selling before Perth and the Kings🎤 Final Word: our biggest takeaways from the Grassroots Game Bringing the Blue is the Melbourne United podcast for the fans, by the fans. 🔵 Follow the show so you don’t miss our preview of this week’s double, Perth away and the Kings at home. 🏀 #MelbourneUnited #NBL27 #GrassrootsGame #BringingTheBlue #WeAreUnited

    🔥 Throwdown Preview | United vs SEM 🏀🔵⚪️

    It’s Throwdown time. Melbourne United and South East Melbourne Phoenix meet for the first time this season, raising one big question: is this the year SEM finally turns the battle for Melbourne into a genuine rivalry, or does United still own the city? We look at where both teams stand, the matchups and statistics that could decide Thursday night’s game, and whether United can control the tempo through its half-court execution while keeping Phoenix out of transition. We also identify United’s three keys to victory before finishing with Tomorrow’s Back Page, where each host delivers a bold newspaper-style headline predicting what we’ll be reading after the final buzzer. Heading to the game? Join the club and the Bringing the Blue team at St Andrews from 5pm for the pre-game build-up before we head to the Throwdown.
