The Brisbane Bullets are back in the win column - and we are loving it! Tracy, Scott, and Cam break down the Tassie game, celebrate Norto’s return, and call out the defence that finally showed up. We talk rotation, minutes, and whether this team can find consistency before Melbourne. 🏀
Welcome back to Bullets Nation, the podcast by Bullets fans, for Bullets fans.
This week we’re celebrating a huge road win against Tasmania - and being happily wrong about our predictions. With Mitch Norton and Jacob Holt back on the floor, we’re breaking down what finally clicked and what still needs tightening before the showdown with New Zealand and Melbourne.
🏀 Norton’s leadership and how he changes team culture
🏀 Tyrell Harrison’s dominance in the post (feed the big man early!)
🏀 The Holt debut - can he be our missing big?
🏀 Casey Prather’s minutes and how long he can sustain them
🏀 The new “three-guard candy store” - Adams, Norton, and Devers
🏀 Whether Brisbane can climb into the NBL’s top four defensively
🏀 Fans, culture, and calling out negativity - we’re not a cult, we’re a community
We also preview the coming matchups - New Zealand on Wednesday, Melbourne on Saturday - and keep the banter flowing.
It’s real basketball talk for real Bullets fans.
🎙️ Hosted by Tracy Malone with Scott Husband and Cameron Pawluck.

Bullets Nation unpacks Round 7 of the NBL season
🏀 Recap of the win over Cairns and the crushing loss to Sydney
🏀 Honest chat about the team’s identity, slow starts, and coaching
🏀 Deep dive into Prather’s defensive position, Tyrell’s struggles, and Dakota Mathias’ debut
🏀 Rant-worthy takes on game-day atmosphere, crowd numbers, and the missing “Jonny Drama” energy
🏀 Real talk about coaching accountability, slow starts, and what needs to change
🏀 Plus: the $10,000 half-court shot highlight, Halloween fun, and behind-the-scenes volunteer issues
🏀 Predictions for the next game against Tasmania and who needs to step up
This week on Bullets Nation, your host Tracy Malone and co-hosts Scott Husband, and Cameron Pawluck dive deep into a rollercoaster round of NBL action for the Brisbane Bullets.
The crew relives the highs of the Thursday night win against Cairns - a connected team performance, standout minutes from Murray, Ducas, and Devers, and a promising debut from Dakota Mathias - before breaking down the reality check that came just 48 hours later with the brutal home loss to Sydney.
It’s an unfiltered, passionate look at what’s working, what’s not, and what has to change. Tracy calls out the gaping hole in the defensive lineup, the absence of big men, and the puzzling coaching calls around player rotations and timeouts. Cameron and Scott dissect how the Bullets’ slow starts keep derailing their chances, and together they question whether the coaching staff truly understand the roots of the problem.
The conversation doesn’t stop at the scoreboard - they dive into game-day atmosphere too. From Halloween dress-ups and the return of Adam’s voice to the mic, to the missing magic of Jonny Drama, the crew debate whether entertainment and crowd engagement are helping or hurting the home court vibe.
Expect rants, real talk, and a few laughs as they touch on:
The gap between strong culture and weak communication
Volunteers left hanging this season
The infamous “no replay during coach’s challenge” problem
Coaching accountability, team leadership, and fan frustration
And a $10,000 half-court shot that saved the night
The team finish with a look ahead to the clash against Tasmania - can the Bullets bounce back or are we staring down another rebuild?
This is raw, real fan commentary. No spin, no PR polish - just the heart of Bullets Nation, talking hoops, heart, and hard truths.
