In terms of my progress this season, Slam!'s moves matter to me. I have a 3 game advantage over him and, assuming NSW goes BOT, I will stay above him. The Vipers have secured 8th spot. Therefore, if NSW goes BOT I simply need to make sure that the 3-game advantage I have over Slam! isn't bridged. As soon as Slam ! makes a move purchases wise I will have to counter shortly afterwards to ensure that I avoid a relegation battle...

...I will also say this now. If all goes as planned and I remain in II this season, next season will see me drop, like the Vipers, like a lead ball, back to III. I have, like others, become disillusioned with my team's progress. I am in the hunt for stud trainees and will go back to training great players. This time I will not settle for U21 players but ride them all the way to NT selection and hopefully the ABBL...

Why?

Just sit n wait in Div II, pocket $100k+ a week whilst finishing 5th or 6th for a few seasons. enjoy the company of full time players, play games against ABBL relegates, psyche a few teams by engorging the forums with your enlarged bank account.

Also - Slam i think will aim to finish 5th or 6th. Probably 6th, because that will give him HCA in relegation series and the extra moolah.

Vipers 8th
NSW 7th (well you'd like to hope anyways).
Slam 6th
Who cares above that. 1st, 2nd, they are all losers anyways. LOL

sorry ill never say the words engorged and enlarged in the same sentance again unless im referring to something with my teams name.

LOL

Why? Simple really: If I know my team isn't good enough---and I don't have the finances to make it good enough---to promote then it is a wasted season in my view. I would rather make plans that put me in a position to promote. I can easily see myself hovering around 2nd and 3rd in II.3 for seasons without cracking the ABBL. Coupled with this is my devastation at selling my two guards (Aussie: Johnny "Can't Do" Dogan and Argentinian: Marcelo "Hot Rod" Rodriguez) both U21 NT players. I have never got over selling them having trained them from pups. While Hot Rod was my favourite, had I retained them, finished off Dogan until he capped, I would have had tow studs. Dogan would have made the Aussie NT and I would have had the players to build around for a genuine ABBL foray. However, I baulked, sold up to bounce-bounce in the hope of making a stronger team and stuffed it...financially. I know exactly what to do this time. sadly, it will be a good five seasons before my team name, The Mighty Oaks, strikes fear into opponents. But the wait will be worth it and the prize...hopefully the ABBL.

Why did you sell your HOFer guard Bullock as well? He looked pretty good, I would have bought him if I had money at the start of the season.

Oh hi there, were you looking at me? of course you were.... you're only human after all.

I might be very good at looking good, but I don't think i math good.
(What is this, a school for ants?)

My finances probably aren't as beautiful as you might think they are, they're not bad, but they certainly haven't got anything on my Blue Steel, let alone my Magnum.

I think it's going to be Sterling or someone from the red side to promote.

Yeah...add that to the poor decisions I've made over the last two seasons...

Bit of a funny old season so far - quite a few identical records...One game can move you from playoffs to 7th or even 8th in the Great 8.

Still unsure how I want to approach the second part of the season - I have a little cash tucked away but I know that others have a WAY bigger stash than me...and I don't really have any pieces that I feel could really cut it (as starters anyway) in the ABBL.

Sterling Archer is definitely in the box seat to take it out...will be an interesting season.
