Seems strange that you gave away your 2 x 20yo old Aussie trainees for so little

Both could have been in running for Aussie under 21s next season and Royce Raddcliffe is a beaut but being an Allstar must cap out soon

? sell 2 good aussie trainnees for very little and content with finishing 4th or 5th? (does not compute)

Your vault of cash must be over flowing.

Have a feeling that you and your old ABBL mate Avalon Jets both might be considering coming out of hibernation

Avalon Jets tanked a winnable cup game this week to make sure of 2 wins in league games

yer ive got Royce hitting his soft cap soon. probably get maybe 3 more pops in his main skill set before hitting it. Then its secondaries training for him.

I think he got a good return for Cuong Lý - Allstar trainee again, they just arent worth that much, even though you can train an awesome player still, even for Div II, so to sell him for $400k was alright i reckon. Definately more than if he sold him when he was drafted as an 18 year old, so there is a profit there.
The other guy I thought definately sold for not enough. Sundae picked up a bargain there. Superstar trainee, 20, $11k salary, 6'10" - maybe he had aweful secondaries? he doesn't, but if youw ant to know, join the offsite forum ha!

Yer 5th is no longer a good idea anyways - the new rules lend themselves to finishing top 4 as a better financial option.

maybe hadders is going to purchase some more 18 year old all-star trainee's cheap on the transfer market, train em up, sell em in 2 seasons time for $400k again? its not bad, $400k a season profit.

Saw the Hobbit at the cinemas last night.

Hadders reminds me of the scene where the fire breathing flying dragon, who had once caused so much death and destruction, awakens under mountains of gold coin

Any time a Hadders or an Avalon Jets is in touch with the finals, is dangerous as they have the potential to make the rest of us look like dwarfs should they want.

We have certainly seen both you and Slam ! do it. "Hey I'm 4th and rich. Think I'll buy an off the charts team and win."

Hey Yoda you'll give me a bad reputation.

I dont ever recall being 4th and then buying up players to win a championship

(from memory I was either 6th of 7th at the time)

Seriously though I think the good folk in league 11.3 have reason to fear the ABBL scurge in Avalon Jets and Hadders, this season,

Where as the likes of I, have invested much of my vault of gold into acquiring and nurturing young Aussie talent, these guys must surely have mountains of cash still lying around

Well hyde is pretty good

1st week pop dri, ha and pass
2nd week pop pass

So his passing is now inept :)

Not sure how long will his OD pop tho

Im having trouble, i want to make him pf but im training guards lol i didnt think was gonna win the bidding

Ps: thanks everyone for those kind words but im not ready to compete in abbl yet. My trainees are getting butchered aand i have to look for a way to train while staying in abbl so thats why i got that much salary lol. I have a plan but hopefully it works :)

training 48mins for ur trainees 2moro sounds good to me ;)

Well see :p

i thank u in advance now : )

So easy to get lured into buying players or stuffing up your training plans all in an invain attempt to survive in the ABBL.

A lot easier to go up and stay up than what it was several seasons ago, but if your long term plan is on training then you need to be of strong character and resist the urge to be competitive in the ABBL.

Being an optomist I hope to demonstrate how, next season

Not sure how long will his OD pop tho

Williams (188cm) and Palmeri (201cm) are both 19yo and pop every 2 weeks when training single position "pressure" (both upto proficient OD). OD has become Ryders dominant skill after 8 pops have taken him from Pitiful to prominant but being his dominant skill and being a 20yo 206cm player, he gets about 2 pops every 5 weeks of single position "pressure" training.

Im told its best to train defence whilst the players are young, so that is my plan.

Come another 2 or 3 seasons time I can relax and train them JS and or Driving.

You all know I have bid on so many youngsters this season it has been crazy. Constantly bid $800,000 to a million on guys and wake up the next day and see they have gone for a few thousand more. I have also had a long term injury to my best traine Kumar. In the meantime I have been forced to train my blind pick draftee.

Armand Fyfe (27605614) Point Guard
Weekly salary: $ 2 729
Age: 18
Height: 6'4" / 193 cm
Potential: allstar

Potential, height, starting skills, all are wrong but it is incredible how fast these 18 year olds pop. It has been a long time since I have trained an 18 year old.

12/28/2012 Pressure for PG
Armand Fyfe ↑popped↑ in Outside Def. from mediocre to average .

12/21/2012 One on One for PG / SG
Armand Fyfe ↑popped↑ in Driving from mediocre to average .

12/14/2012 One on One for PG / SG
Armand Fyfe ↑popped↑ in Handling from average to respectable .

12/7/2012 Pressure for PG
Armand Fyfe ↑popped↑ in Outside Def. from inept to mediocre .

Four pops in four weeks is great but popping OD twice in two trainings is unheard of for me I am more used to three weeks per pop. It isn't sensible to train him but I have to say right now it is fun.
