This week on Bullets Nation, Tracy Malone, Cameron Pawluck and Scott Husband unpack a tough road loss to Melbourne United and ask the uncomfortable questions Brisbane fans are already thinking.

Was the result about effort, belief, execution, or simply not having the talent to compete? The panel digs into shooting struggles, defensive communication, roster balance, and why some players continue to step up while others fade under pressure.

Friday Fan Debate sparks a genuine split:
Talent vs execution vs belief. You can only choose one.

From there, the episode turns future-focused with a full 2027 roster build, as each host puts together their ideal Bullets lineup. Imports, marquees, Next Stars, depth pieces, coaching fit, and why bench pressure matters more than people think.

Also discussed:
• Jacob Holt’s rapid rise
• Injury management and venue issues
• Why recruiting sets everything else in motion
• The importance of work ethic and on-court communication
• Predictions for Illawarra and Adelaide

If you love this club, argue about this club, and keep turning up no matter the ladder position, this episode is for you.

Bullets fans don’t leave. We’re the constant.

The Bullets Nation Podcast breaks down another chaotic week in Brisbane Bullets basketball. Tracy, Cameron, and Scott dive into the Cairns and Sydney games, the coaching future of Will Weaver, the noise around GM roles, ownership concerns, NBL media narratives, and the big talking points coming out of Hoops Fest. They unpack why the Bullets’ defence keeps collapsing, why the assist numbers are alarming, and what the signing of 6'6 guard Luke Paul could mean for Brisbane’s Next Stars future.

We also dig into fan debate results, member frustrations with BEC rules and pricing, organisational structure issues, and why a Gold Coast expansion might spell danger for the Bullets. Plus: Maldonado’s rise, Terry Taylor’s inconsistency, Ducas’ flashes, Holt’s minutes, and why DMAC’s halftime sprays are becoming a weekly necessity.

This episode is packed with NBL insight, fan questions, behind-the-scenes intel, and honest talk from three deeply invested Brisbane fans.

A full-court deep dive into Brisbane basketball life. Fans turned analysts. Analysts turned comedians. And a club that continues to test the loyalty of its most faithful diehards.

In this episode, Tracy, Scott, and Cam break down:
• The best Bullets traditions fans are begging to revive
• Game-day experience highs, lows, gremlins, and missing stats
• Adelaide vs Brisbane - what worked, what completely derailed
• Maldonado’s breakout and why a real point guard changes everything
• Defence that finally looked like a plan, not a prayer
• The Smack injury, the Tyrell concussion, and who should realistically return
• The ref situation (again), why it’s not the whole problem, and why complaining won’t save the season
• A serious review of DMAC’s coaching impact and leadership
• A raw breakdown of the front office missteps around coaching appointments
• The Will Weaver conversation - resume, style, development background
• Fan favourites: Teddy Toss, Johnny Drama, Halloween, membership nostalgia
• Why the Bullets keep collapsing under pressure from the three-point line
• The culture gaps, the science-staff overreach, and what players actually need to perform

This one is packed, passionate, and brutal in all the right ways.

Another tough week, another big conversation.

In this episode of Bullets Nation, Tracy Malone, Scott Husband, and Cameron Pawluck break down the Brisbane Bullets’ losses to the Sydney Kings and Perth Wildcats, and dig into the deeper issues plaguing the club.

From defensive breakdowns and fitness concerns to import recruitment, coaching uncertainty, and front office instability, nothing is off limits. The team reacts to DMac's candid press conferences, the confusion around the head coaching search, and why the absence of a true GM of Basketball continues to hurt the organisation.

This is honest, informed discussion from long-time fans who love the club enough to tell the truth.

If you’re frustrated, confused, or still holding hope for the future of Brisbane basketball, this episode will feel very familiar.

Bullets fans aren’t going anywhere.
We’re the constant.

Steve Woodberry helped define an era of Brisbane Bullets basketball.

In this episode of the Bullets Nation Podcast, we sit down with the former Bullets MVP to revisit his journey from Wichita, Kansas to Brisbane, where he became one of the most exciting players the club has ever seen.

Steve reflects on his NBL years, the unforgettable 1998–99 season, and what made those Bullets teams click. He also shares powerful insights into defence, competitiveness, leadership, and the realities of professional sport, from injuries and setbacks to life after playing.

Now a respected coach and former NBA scout, Steve offers rare perspective on player development, recruiting, and what separates good players from great ones.

A nostalgic listen for Bullets fans and a masterclass in basketball thinking for anyone who loves the game.

It finally feels different.

This week on Bullets Nation, Tracy Malone and special guest Mort unpack a huge turning point for the Brisbane Bullets. The return of Jonny Drama, the early impact of DMAC as head coach, and a visible shift in confidence, freedom, and identity on the floor.

We break down the win over the New Zealand Breakers, the gritty contest against Melbourne United, and why Tyrell Harrison is once again playing like the premier big man Brisbane needs him to be.

There’s talk of:

• Coaching philosophy and structure

• Crowd energy and game-day experience

• Defensive effort, offensive flow, and belief

• Refs, replays, and why fans want to feel connected to the game

• Why loving your club sometimes means saying the hard things out loud

This is proper hoops chat. No hot takes. No pretending everything’s fine when it isn’t.

If you’re a rusted-on Bullets fan or an NBL tragic who loves the game beyond the box score, this episode is for you.

Bullets Nation is back and… yeah, it’s been one of those weeks. Stu Lash has stepped down as head coach, Darryl “DMAC” McDonald takes the interim reins, and Brisbane’s trip to face the Southeast Melbourne Phoenix turns into another brutal reality check: a 107–78 loss, 28 turnovers, and only two Bullets in double figures.

Tracy Malone holds the line for the fans (because fans don’t get traded), breaks down what went wrong on court, what DMAC said in the post-game presser, and why the Bullets’ problems look bigger than whoever is holding the clipboard. There’s also love for the Bullets Nation community, a call-out for the group chat crew, and a fresh push to bring back proper Aussie nicknames for players.

Plus: the coaching search chatter heats up (Trevor Gleeson or better), the injury/body count keeps rising, and the big question gets asked again, louder this time: what have we learned about this club’s direction and decision-making?

Get involved in the comments, message us to join the Bullets Nation group chat, and buckle up for a big week ahead: Breakers at home (Teddy Bear Toss) and Melbourne United on Saturday night.

A big episode of Bullets Nation as Tracy Malone, Scott Husband, and Cameron Pawluck break down a chaotic week for the Brisbane Bullets.

We cover the losses to Illawarra and Perth, the ongoing issues with turnovers, defence, and coaching, plus a detailed recap of the Bullets Members Forum. The Johnny Drama campaign, fan frustration, ownership accountability, and the future direction of the club are all on the table.

No spin. No sugar-coating. Just honest NBL discussion from fans who care deeply about this club.

This week on Bullets Nation, we dive into the mess, the madness, and the moments of accidental comedy that define the Bullets season so far. We unpack the Adelaide blowout, the defensive issues that never get fixed, the coach’s confusing messages, and the rising frustration across the fan base.

We review the JFL injury rumour saga, the state of trust between the club and supporters, and the ripple effect of losing the game day experience without Jonny Drama. There’s also a rundown of fan reactions, our social engagement highlights, YouTube shout-outs, and a very special nod to our favourite anonymous thumbs-down visitor.

Finally, we preview the upcoming games, talk honestly about where this team is heading, and make some predictions based on… well… what we’re seeing, not what we’re hoping for.

A raw, real, and passionate episode from Bullets fans who refuse to look away.

This week we go deep. Deep into the Bullets’ inconsistencies, deep into coaching questions, deep into trade fantasies that might actually make sense, and deep into why Derek Rucker’s Top 15 list triggered half the league.

We update the Jonny Drama petition, pull apart the club’s obsession with “championship experience,” read out the Bullets’ mid-season report card like a fed-up schoolteacher, and settle on who should be in the starting five after the break.

We talk Boomers vs Tall Blacks, how our Bullets players performed, and whether Adelaide will run straight through us or whether we might shock them with the unknown.

Plus, a brilliant listener question: will we see a female head coach in the NBL? We give the truthful answer, even though we didn’t like it.

Big topics. Big opinions. Big love for this club.

Bullets family, you’re home.
