pretty lucky to get a win tonight. Only just set a lineup.

was driving home to Gisborne from Geelong, usually about 1 hr 30 min trip, left at 3.50 so thought yeh i will certainly be home to set a lineup.

halfway home my car decides to shit itself and start pumping steam/smoke out of it. i try filling the water and letting it cool down. I resume my journey but i have been delayed and it is unlikely i will get home in time to set a lineup, thus i use my dwindling phone battery to set my lineup. The phone then dies, while logging out.

just my luck my car shits itself again 15 mins later, however this time it wont restart. i know, i will call someone to help (as i am not much of a mechanic). But, i used the battery setting my BB lineup. At this point it is dark and i have to go knocking on randoms doors, where it is about 1km between houses. Turns out people arent really receptive of young people knocking on their doors at night. Anyway 3 and a half hours later i am finally towed home.

come to think of it i am pretty lucky i even got home, let alone set a lineup lol

Could have done with that pearl of wisdom before tonight's game, Skyhooks! Seriously though, I have always held that as a rule...one I broke tonight only on account of the BOT race. Was faced with playing the 15-0 Flames on their home court who would have had slightly higher enthusiasm from their Cup run. Had to do it. Was up by 26 at the end of the third and the bench held them to draw in the fourth. It's surprising what you'll do when the stakes are high.

BTW, it means I've just handed you the win in our game in PL. Enjoy.

Congrats on your mauling tonight. Probably put you into 3rd in "the race".

I do not agree. You can CT in the regular season. But you must time it correctly

i am sure you will spank us matty, all the other contenders in div 3 in the PL have....

CT has a place bains for sure.. but i just think if you manage game shape, enth right, and have the right team, you shouldnt need to use it to win.. If i were playing the top team in the other div, and then had 3 scrub teams afterwards to recover, then sure i would look at the bigger picture, but for the most part, Normal/Tie is as good as it gets :D

My last 7 games are gonna be tough.. 4 on road, 3 at home, gonna be VERY difficult to manage enth...

What are your long term plans airwik? get a few more trainees going then have a crack?

Great story bainsynator88.

And now for something completly different...

FlagRaisers looked like the only team trying out there.


Looks like they wanted a piece of me too. But despite all my efforts to tank, selling off my 2 top salaried guys and another starter, being crunched, team out of shape and low in enthusiasm after yet another top 16 cup run and having a PG playing at C for training...

FlagRaisers vs. Wagadugu Hippopotamuses 51 - 85 (46266479)


Don't underestimate the Hippo!

Big question? Do I spend a million or two and knock off Skyhooks and ruin his bot promotion chances like Vis runined mine?

Finally does anyone still doubt the Great 8 are crap? Just look at the ladder. 8 wins gets you 7th in the Big 8 and 3rd in the Great 8. our top is Hooks w 15 wins vs their be high with 11. Our worst is Suns with 5 wins vs their Jets with 0. If the Suns were in the Great 8 they would be a playoff team. I wanted a good draft pick this season but even with me tanking like crazy I am 6th last right now and at best can work my way down to about 5th.

You have 108 scouting points remaining.


I hope there is someone worth training!

you can take comfort in the knowledge that i have no interest in CTing you.

That would be unwise as it would mean both of you will be here again next season
