Thought I'd start a new thread specifially for the draft chatter.

If you got it and it's worth showing off, here's the place. Get em up, don't be shy.

I pulled absolute rubbish (to be expected). Couple of 6th men and a bench warmer. Already fired the lot of them.

So in total in our draft there were five players who aren't garbage. Perhaps some may argue for two more.

Keogh, Kerehi pick 1 would be fine with one more potential.
In the first round the one really good prospect at pick 8 was Munyarryun, Teddy.
Then my guy Cook, Lino was the only other decent player taken in the first round and let me tell you, he is 6'3" with atrocious JS!
Pick 17 Belmore made up for their first pick by getting an 18 year old superstar but $3,232 is a low base.
Then in the third round we finally hit some potential, a pity they were on low skill 19 year olds.
Funny the 5th last player taken was actually possibly one of the best while most people wont get excited by a $2915 perennial allstar in this draft he rocks.

So overall my rating for our league draft: pitiful!

Looks like a good draft to have not spent any money on. Glad I put in minimal cash...

I really only put in so that I could have a look and see how the new system works. Going undefeated in my championship season meant I didn't spend any money and didn't get to try the new system. Reckon I might keep scouting on the minimum again this season, unless things go tragically wrong for me.

A lot of 18 year olds with good salary but sadly lacking in potential...

Next season will be a bit different for you WB. Might actually have to keep any eye on the draft and put a little aside for a change. You should have loads of cash coming in, though you do have to pay Guyer's wage.

Sadly I'm still thinking about what to do. Try and stay up or tank several millions...

I'd suggest trying to bank a couple of early victories. The ABBL teams usually take the Cup pretty seriously so you might be able to catch a couple of teams with their pants down. If I were you, I wouldn't bother with the Cup. Worst case scenario if things start to look bleak, start tanking and concentrate on training and saving!
