Day 5 of the NBL Free Agency Fix takes us to the heart of Tasmania, as Josh is joined by JD from the Tasmanian Takeover for an in-depth look at the reigning champions, the Tasmania JackJumpers. It’s a full breakdown of the rollercoaster NBL25 season—from the highs of their early dominance to the heartbreak of missing the finals by percentage. JD gives us a unique, community-rooted perspective on what it really means to be a JackJumper, the pride of representing Tasmania, and how this franchise continues to punch above its weight in a big-market league.
The duo unpack the roster in detail: who’s locked in, who’s likely to leave, and which uncontracted players could still make their way back to the Apple Isle. They dive deep into the controversial Craig Sword/Ian Hummer mid-season swap, the string of brutal injuries, and the cultural expectations that make the JackJumpers one of the most unique teams in the NBL.
Plus:
- JD’s thoughts on the club’s captaincy going forward
- His two picks to return out of the uncontracted group
- The identity shift toward youth and athleticism
- A surprise name from US college hoops with Tassie ties 👀
- Some spicy rumors—including the possibility of Milton Doyle joining a rival 👀
- And why guys like Sean Macdonald and Will Magnay could be the future faces of the franchise
This episode is for the die-hards. If you love the JackJumpers, live in Tasmania, or just appreciate a team built on grit, culture, and community—this one’s for you. Tap in.
