Well done mate, condolences to Coasters.

Well it is a bitter sweet moment to have to leave out the back door after 8 seasons however I needed to get some excitement back into the game, will now retreat and try some different tactics, hopefully return to the same div on the rebound stronger than ever :)

Also, can't hurt to pop the question now due to the draftees gone, TVA and Lewie, did you both draft? I am hoping that neither of you found the 5/5 18 yr/o with me relegated the 3rd pick, guessing I have a fat chance of that happening!

Congrats Axis, top season, best of luck in the ABBL.

Cant wait to see the draft, and the 5/5 stud. Hope he is a monster. What position/height is he?

Well done, good luck in the ABBL

Nice work and welcome, you may be entering at a good time the ABBL was quite weak last season. Then again I have seen some big purchases in the last few days so maybe next season will be different.

6'8" SF, perfect height for a true SF or a PF depending how he trains. :) Don't expect I will get him though.

Was a good draft, not at hope lost for everyone, there was 2 or 3 5/5 19 y/olds as well :D

i only used 3pts, it was an unusual draft for me. On the 3 pts i used, i found a 5 ball SF. I didnt interview him. But his boxscore was ridiculous. 48pts, 20-22fgs. I dont know his age. Just decided if he was still there at pick 10 id take him. Hope he isnt the guy you are talking about?

Thanks all +1

It's been a long time in waiting... I wonder whether I'll stay, though...

I'm glad I could be of use. Out of curiosity, what made you look at my roster?

Well, I decided I'd have a look at some of the Div II teams that not only knew what they were doing, but were runn ing a successful Div II roster that had the best chance of making the ABBL. You were 5-2 when I analysed your rster. You had:

Zografidis, Rohtla, Saar, Droste, Mohamad, Dilay, Perez, Laxos, Heles, Canudas

That was $446k of roster that cost you $8.53 mil. The average age of that roster was 27.6 years.

I was playing close attention to the salaries of players in their positions and trying to, through the amounts you paid, get an idea of their skill sets in comparison to salaries etc

I was trying to work out what roster size was big enough to run in relation to arena; what good players cost (and by good I mean good enough to play as top DIv II team); what could be achieved age wise so that you didn't arrive in the ABBL with 8 x geriatrics and could use some as starters...most as backups...;

I guess I just identified your team as a great mix and a solid model to base my future Div II team off. Now that you've gone on to win and make ABBL I feel vindicated in my research lol So...thanks lol

Good luck next season mate. I know you've already stated that you might not stay up but I'm selfishly hoping you go for it with many of the players you've got so I can can get a glimpse of the next levels to aim for.

Nah he is the one I landed, the 19 yr/old, Lewie managed to get lucky that TVA didn't scout, for me no loss as Lewie would've got him anyway.

Managed to grab to 19 yr/old MVP talls so time to change my training focus, only pain will now be weather I can hang on 2 the 2 I have been training over the last 6-7 seasons.. :/

Good luck all, funnily enough I landed back in the DIII I promoted from originally, ah nostalgia..

Potentially see you all in a season ;)

Mine are up.
