You'll line up normal.

sid you say you have an easy cup game... however you still tanked vs me.

i fail to understand the reasoning...

He had a tough away game first up which is a perfect chance to boost enthusiasm and train players. No sense in killing yourself in the first game of the season when the odds favour against you. The risk isn't worth the reward, as HA knows all to well that there are certain games which he can let go and still be in a position to play for the title.

Really if you think you are a chance, you can pick the winnable games and those that you can afford to lose, right at the beginning of the season. Home games are generally the most important, win all your home games and that goes a fair way towards making the 4. Of course when you have two different levels of competition between your conference, you might need a couple of away wins to ensure your place.

So basically, HA had you down as game that he could drop and pick up on the run home. You'd probably be one of the teams tipped to make the 4 at this early point of the season, so going 1 all is really good enough. To ensure a win, he'd probably need to CT and it's just not worth the enthusiasm damage so early in the season. TIE was a safer move and will help ensure wins in the Cup and home game this week.

you aint sid in disguise are u? hahah
u being dr jekell to his mr hyde, or the other way round lol cant remember now

Nah, just a bit slow at work so I had time to consider and provide a reasonable answer to the question. I understand how this game works, there are always a few unexpected surprises that pop up but generally speaking, you can see how things will most likely play out.

By the way, Sid tanking this season is not one of those "unexpected surprises" (as it won't happen), nor is him buying in a championship team after the ASG (once it occurs). :-)

i guess i must be showing my inexperience then. pity he isn't going to go 1-1 in the series

I like your spirit Jack, nothing wrong with that.

Of course I am speculating but I don't see the harm in making a couple of posts which might spark a bit of banter. I'm also intrigued to see how close to or far off the mark I am. I'm definitely feeling confident that it's more "close to" rather than "far off" though. Time will reveal all!

I've just been looking through the rosters of all the teams in the Big 8 and I must say, that is one tough league! To think at this stage that even one of the teams is guaranteed to demote and two others will be battling in relegation games, is amazing. West Indies and Cunning Liniguists (soz lads, had to pick someone) look to me to be the current teams in any doubt and not by any great margin either. No room for anyone to make any mistakes or it could be the difference between Div II and Div III. Maybe HA will find it in his heart to do you all a favour and take the auto relegation spot...

Vios your spending more time studying, analysing and theorising my every move, than what I do actually making the moves.

Very lucky to win against Awesome. Home court advantage is worth a lot more than the 3 points I won by

Previously I had my team rated as a 3 to 1 chance of winning the championship, I now rate myself as a 5 to 1 chance (against).

Now that I don't have a team of my to over analyse and study, I need to focus on somebody's team. Who's better than your's? :-D

That was a very close game for sure, Sundae said he played TIE, so that means you did too. Risky move, thought for sure you'd have wanted to lock that one up.

Well you do know me better than I know myself, so I guess I made a mistake being me, by only playing TIE

Sorry to dissapoint you, I will try harder in the future to play this game to your expectations of me

Reality is the Awesomes team is currently better than mine.

Also stuffed up being me by setting the attendance prices too high. Even should I win my cup game I will lose 45K this week

Much appreciate Vios if you can give me some advise as to how the real me "should play" my next week.

Also Vios I dont think that you will tank this season. Deep down you know that you need to be in the same league as me

It would be my pleasure. TIE vs Corio, hopefully u get an easy Cup and TIE, then normal vs the Moose.

Glad to help out Sid! :-P
