its funny you know, looking at the division now - i dont really see a team that, if they won, would really be ready for ABBL. IM sure hadders, corio, ho adicts, and possibly crockers have a pile of dough stashed away, but nobody has really steeled themselves for a run at the title.
its like everyone is just waiting it out for the time being - scouting dollars are way down (But look at that merchandising average! woot!), staff salaries are up from last season and player salaries are about the same, yet average league income is quite large at the moment - maybe its relative - last season may have been lower than usual.
comparing to other Div II's though, this division seems a little tame now. or perhaps, a little too tame?
So whats everyone doing? can't be aiming for 5th anymore, thats just wank-play now. Both divisions are quite competitive so relegation zone is quite dangerous this year - yet there is no panic, no shoring up of teams, no short term strategic purchases, quite afew long term trainee purchases, 20/21 year olds being bought, with MVP potential etc.
so cmon spill! I want to know whats ur deal peeps!
