You better not screw Isaak and Cunming's gameshapes or they might not see national action against Russia. ;)

Hahaha
They'll be playing 48mins barring foul trouble and or injury :p

Mate everyone reckoned your team was unbeatable and bloody hell it looks like they are. I crunched at my place and still got thrashed. Grouse work and good luck for the rest of the season.

Enough about you time for me. Im bloody proud of me blokes. Theyve made the ABBL, 2 top 16 and a top 4 in the cup in the last 3 seasons. This season did it below the salary floor. Even better I have a team I really like.

3 of me starters (Rieffel, Shaylor and Kryst) are me own draft picks. Gilchrist has been on me team since the start. Christodoulou has been on the team since season 11. Donato has been on the team (and off and on ha ha) since season 13. Naccari since season 15.

Now Ive got more dosh under me matress than Gina Rinehart. Will make a few changes next season but still feeling grouse about the Tigers even if this season we do get flogged. Lucky the Wombats have the wooden spoon all wrapped up.

heheh abiggfishy does not believe in renting players for big matches.
Now is your time to shine mllama... buy a few players and you will make the CUP finals...
unless you meet another ABBLer in the CUP semis LOL

so you're coming back to div2 huh?

Unbeatable? Doubt it. It will definitely be a ripper of a game on Thursday night.

Or do I?

ABBL Draft Sucks Again

I had 122 points and seeing as the best guys were drafted in the second round this season I thought I would do some drafting. What a pile of rubbish! Mllama will be so upset. There is yet again no five ball potential 18 year olds at all in the draft. It will be like in my tanking season when the best player in the draft will be a perennial allstar. I have checked every three ball skill or higher 18 year old and every five ball skill 19 year old and there is nothing.

So the prize in this year's ABBL draft is likely to be a short center with atrocious OD and low potential. Perhaps he would like a low potential 19 year old center with great starting skills?

I would think it is scripted to balance the leagues but I know it is random. I was just hoping to be able to draft someone I can train myself but with almost all five ball skill players having two or less potenial, only a couple of four/four players I will be likely getting a three/three for my efforts. If it wasn't so hard to get an Aussie trainee it wouldn't matter but this season I bid $800,000-$1,200,000 on five different trainees none of which was worth nearly that much and still lost out in every case.

I haven't trained a foreigner for seasons but it looks like with this pathetic draft and the incredible inflated prices for Australian talent that I need to either throw away a fortune or look overseas.

During the last 3 seasons Ive brought 3 Aussie HOF trainees for a total price of 4.5 mill and was losing bidder on Guest when ShanMag topped my 3mill plus bid.

No doubt prices were up a bit this season.

Will Williams who I brought not so long ago cost me 2 mill after Mllama pushed my hand.

I doubt if he was half as good as Guest but thankfully he's had 7 pops so far this season and I reckon might be an outside chance of playing some games for the Aussie Under 21s next season as a 20 year old.

Id start buying some draft points for next season only I reckon Avalon Jets well and truly has my measure

Not sure that id get my 4.5 mill back if I put the 3 of them up for sale tomorrow, despite the big $ Ive spent training them

ive got an aussie mvp & a superstar & i didnt pay a cent 4 them lol

I've got this guy for free too, pretty much no scouting whatsoever...

Vladimir Radak (27605651).

Not bad for a 30th pick. Watch out for him in 5 seasons time.
