The Adelaide 36ers last night had a solid debut outing from new import pairing Craig Winder and Troy DeVries as they edged Townsville 87-86.

Defensive guard Nathan Herbert will have scans after suffering a significant knee in last night's pre-season win over Townsville.

If you are like most 36ers fans, you are dying to see Marty Clarke and his 2010/11 charges on court, and you will have your chance soon enough!

The Adelaide 36ers have given AFL Legend Shane Crawford a big send off as he sets out to run 760km to Melbourne.
