Been confirmed Craig Hutchison’s Sports Entertainment Group is the new owner of the Perth Wildcats. He has relinquished his position as chairman of rival club Melbourne United and reportedly will relinquish or dilute it’s current 25% stake in Melbourne United.
Have to say I am sceptical they will do all they can to keep the Wildcats on top. Cost him 8.5 million. All about owning an iconic brand and getting a foothold in the market here. Strange times in more ways than one.
Nope I am afraid DD Twiggy is more interested in wasting his money on a rich man foreign sport like Rugby and that Western Farce concept then spending money on our own country’s indigenous sport Australian Rules Football and or our iconic grassroots WAFL let alone the popular West Aussie basketball club the Perth Wildcats!

Yep he could have used it to try to entice the indigenous community he champions to get involved in community basketball couldn’t he?

Twiggy likes propping up a sport thats played predominately for Springbok and Kiwi expats.
Or the sport that is already ingrained into their culture the indigenous game Marngrook…but hey it is not the rich man’s European game Twiggy prefers over our very OWN sport!

3 of the 5 directors SEG live in Western Australia headed by Craig Coleman, they currently own 1/4 of Melb United but are diluting those shares, they will own Cats 100%.,
