Such a shame we lost the all-star game, seemed like our side has more going for it but it happens. Westsiders have a strong team and were demoted from league 2 last season so it makes sense that they have a strong chance to make it back up there. I say strong chance because either you or hurricane's have that same chance this season. I get what eagles has been doing, make sense to me, I'm doing something similar, won't really start until the beginning of next season but I don't get why liberia allstars has been doing so bad, has kept most of the roster the same, should have a much better record. Can't really say this has been a great season, up till now, because it is a transition one for me, I'm just counting the days till the draft so I can put this plan into motion.

Ah yes the draft - I seem to be disappointed with draft results no matter what I do - I am about ready to throw in the towel of ever getting anybody decent in that process. Tell me what tactics seem to work for you or perhaps not to let your secret out of the bag - what tactics have you heard that actually work for other people out there? Or do you think it's all one big crap shoot??

well to some extent it is a crapshoot, now less than before the changes. But the main tactic in getting a good pick is getting one of the first selections lol. So for you I would just advise saving your points, do a little basic scouting so you don't get 1 ball 19 year olds, but don't waste all your efforts, save em for when you do have a higher selection.

Thanks for the advice - I have to agree with you - chances are that the draft picks I want will be gone by the time my turn comes around and I will end up with whatever is given me, who I end up releasing anyway. Mind you the three bot teams might make things interesting for whoever picks right after them, but in the long run, I will just have to say thanks but no thanks. Good luck the rest of the way

Hey, man - you mean business - you just sold some dude for a cool million and I believe you have another one out there available for the same price - you are in 5th place right now. Between that cool stash of cash you'll have and the draft picks you will pick up that next season (at the latest), if not this season you will be doing some major ass-kicking. All I know is that I better win this thing this season cause it's not gonna get any easier, my window might be closing even faster than I thought. You will have one scary team, I might even consider doing what the Eagles did this year just to get away from this Div III.11 - this is quickly becoming a twilight zone where good team go to die. If I ever make it out of here Div II will seem like a vacation. I wonder what the Hurricane's is up to - he's been very quite lately - not a good sign for the rest of us.

Heh I'm glad I can still intimidate other teams when my roster is depleted big time =P. Anyhow, I see your point about the good teams crashing and burning in this league, I kinda think your right. But I don't want to give up, instead I want to get stronger by getting weaker first and then do what I've been trying to do for the last 3 seasons, win this league. I too wonder what hurricane's is up to, could make for a dynamic end of season for the 2 of u. One final note, Nice pickup with the new center, I hope he helps you out.

Thanks for the encouragement - that new guy should spruce up things a little - yes, the Hurricanes - still waters run deep - I wonder what surprise he'll pull - if he is reading this let us in on your secret!!!!!! Now our problem Hurricane, mine and yours (depending what your up to) is to get by the Westsiders I guess Westsiders doesn't read this forum - would like to hear his contribution to my take

Well the playoffs are here!! I wish all who made it luck (but, let's face it - not too much). I also like to wish the Eagles the best wherever he ends up - and also to the Raptors with his plan, I hope it works out.

Well another season another heart breaker loss in the finals - bridesmaid again - 2nd year in a row. Can't complain had a great time. Congrats to the West Siders, he deserved the win. Guess the bad news is - no promotion for me - I'll be back in Div III.11 - After a loss like that in Game 3 of the finals, there is not much I can say, except good luck to all in Season 17 :)
