Lol +1

Pretty happy with that ASW, 3 point contest for JP and a double double, pretty good showing seeing he has spent half this season on the TL :P

Wow how good are the JW City Bulls?

Playing away from home and used less enthusiam against a quality opponent and he wins easy with some amazing rankings.

I dont think I have a chance against them next game especially with him having the HCA.

Id have to abandon my training plans for the week and bring in an import or 2, just to be competitive.

In other news it was a better night for the Great 8 winning 6 out of the 8 games.

I used that game for gauging, as expected I am too far off the pace to get anywhere this season, I have done enough to retain my place in this div I would think, time to make some mulla!

Seems a fair plan.

At same stage I will have to make an acquisition to be able to compete with the big dollar roster of JW City Bulls and I am hopeful that I will be a good chance to promote.

From my memory JW always seems to be a contender, which is a great effort but surely it must impact on the depth of his pockets (financial capacity)

JW had only missed out on playoffs once since when I was there and 1 more time after that if I'm not wrong.

GC was never going to contend against them with their cureent roster, and now that JW is out of the cup, they will just get better.

What J-dub needs to promote IMO is depth in case of any injuries. Will be though to do so finacially but worth it if they promote. Personally, either way, I do worry about their aging roster.

No doubt that part of the motivation for his team to promote is that McArthur his key player, is 33 years old and his skills will drop off a bit quicker next season.

Likewise for me my key player is Riviera who will turn 33 next season.

At the moment I do have better depth than JW, especially if I was to start playing my trainees at SF or PF.

Whilst I dont want to erode my "bank vault" as I want to use it in the next couple of seasons to hopefully build towards winning some serious silverware in the ABBL, I do have the option of being able to bring in players if I decide that I need to

haha yes, it will be an interesting game next up with your lot this week!

though you still have the best record in the league and that stands for a lot in my opinion.

with regards to cash... yes, the bank account now without the extra CUP income will slowly erode away, as long as my arena remains at almost full capacity.

yeah, Shawn is getting older... its sad that their skill levels drop so quickly after reaching full potential, but i guess it keeps the game fair.

totally agree, depth has always been a major issue with this roster... 1 injury could mean an end of the season for the bulls.

hahah i'm not sure of my record in this Div, but yeah, i'm pretty sure i've been in the POs more often than not. Don't recall a relegation series, but it might've happened earlier on.

Yes it will and I havent ruled out making it a more even contest B)

Edit Welcome Agustin Camelo to the team :]

though you still have the best record in the league and that stands for a lot in my opinion.


Currently your team (edit) Had the most expensive roster and you have a HCA for this game (:|


I guess your desire to keep winning in the cup, probably cost you your 2 losess this season. *-:)

I dont want you going broke O:)

yeah, Shawn is getting older... its sad that their skill levels drop so quickly after reaching full potential, but i guess it keeps the game fair.


Aitkins has lost a few skills at 34 and I havent had a career extension trainer, but he is still handy.

Im not looking forward to Riviera starting to lose skills next season :`-( :`( :`-(

I generally run with a doctor with massage skills, I wonder if this helps stop skill drops

totally agree, depth has always been a major issue with this roster... 1 injury could mean an end of the season for the bull
s.

I believe come finals time when I start playing a few more players in each game, that I will have an advantage in depth *-:)

From what Ive seen you have been remarkably consistent and deserve to have a run in the ABBL. (trophy) (*) (^)

Please excuse me for my own selfish self interest in trying to rob you of that opportunity this season

Needing to win all 8 games away from home so as to break even in the cross over series, the Great 8 teams put in some great performances, but sadly managed to win only 4 of the 8 games.

The end result was that Big 8 teams had 8 more wins than the Great 8 teams or in other words the results of 4 of the games that the Great 8 teams lost needed to be reversed for the Great 8 to break even.

Great performances this round however with the Great 8 teams being away but still seeing; Unbeatables downing Tilley Thunder, the 6th placed Sand Hill Ants beating the 2nd placed Doncaster Flames and the Sydney Sea Eagles beating the tough Porirua and my mob beating JW.

In a self sacrificing bid to restore some pride to the Great 8 conference and also out of respect as to how hard some of the Great 8 teams are to beat, I am considering softening the single position training philosophy during the finals series and instead might train one of the 2 position formats (Jump shot, Driving or rebounding) so as to allow my young trainees to perform in their more natural positions.

Go the Great 8
