This season...a full tanking season (and the last) has really tested my resolve I might add. Only Vios's challenge has kept it interesting for me. We have both worked pretty bloody hard to lose. Never realised losing every game would be qas hard as winning every game...especially when another bloke is trying to do the same thing...all in the name of that 1st round draft pick! lol

Only ever done it the once myself, it was season 20 and it was the most draining experience.

At least I was the only one trying for the top draft pick, which enabled me to be able to unleash a couple of cameo performances that got me the 3 wins.

Draft pick was useless.

This season there is rumours from a lot of the leagues, that good draft picks do exist.

My son used his scouting points today and found a 5 and 5 18 yo in his div 4 league.

Yeah, hearing about many 5/5 picks. Two of them in Div IIs. Tomorrow morning I hope to be the third Div II team to discover such a gem. I'm confident. It sure will make this season worth it. Mind you, I've continued to train Dogan this season, spent nearly a mil on a future NT star and dumped 2 mil on arena. Nothing disatisfying about any of that. whether I find the 5/5 or not it has been a fruitful season. I will have fun in Div III next season as I plot my imminent return! :-)

you're basically being gifted ABBL promotion, erveryone in the league knows you have too much firepower, the only decision for you is how much you bring into the finals.



Akumas actions speak louder than words

175K purchase of a 206K centre

Welcome to the ABBL Mr Akuma, unless ofcourse Duffill was to get his annual injury

Luster is starting to make a name for himself in the aussie scene lately.

All this attention has promoted him into the England NT.

He didnt last long on your squad or on the Winners squad.

I reckon most of these "rent a beasts" will disappear with the changes that will impact their game shape.

In reality the only potential homes for 200K plus players will be half a dozen clubs in the top league of these players respective nations.

I now have to rethink Akumas move which has caught me by surprise a bit

Luster didnt last long cos he is not Aussie, I already have two Aussie bigs that are in the NT. If he was Aussie, I would keep him in a heartbeat. Name me an aussie NT big that can be had for 200k. Maybe Jalajamani, but he is rather detrimental to the team being injured all the time.

I believe you said..and I quote...

it is what it is

To be honest, I was planning on selling up this week or next week..prime time to offload big players to teams making a run for a championship, but your constant forum chatter, your veiled "mind games" talk, and your attempts at intimidating our fellow league players (my self included), you have motivated me to make your attempt to ascend to the ABBL as difficult and expensive as possible :)

I was always planning to tank next season anyway - doesn't matter whether i do it here in II or in ABBL, and I still have plenty of money left in the tank (you guys have grossly underestimated how much money I had banked to begin with, and how much merch I am making).

Consider me a man with a loaded gun and nothing to lose!

I'm fairly happy with the team at the moment, but may buy another 150-200k guard just in case maclean is a little rusty when he comes back from injury.
