Got by this week, playing my weakest lineup against the Mad Rangas,

- Notice you didn't receive an achievement for this? hahah of course you "got by" I'm tanking bro, your weakest line up against my tanking weakest line up. The only mistake I made was not setting TIE. :(

I'd like to see the Jets and Hadders crush some skulls up in here!
But failing that I am glad to see it a more overall competitive league, even if the top teams maybe aren't as strong as the last couple seasons?

its interesting to note as well that the G Vips, Corio and Ho Addicts all made significant lineup changes this year - mainly replacing older guys but still quite significant changes.

Avalon Jets have gone an all Aussie line up.

What makes them dangerous apart from the millions they have stacked away and their experience and knowledge of the game is that;

They've signalled their intentions by throwing a winnable cupgame to ensure 2 league wins last week;

The 23 yo Siggy Jolly continues to improve and whilst he could dominate at PF, he is doing very well at SF. (where will he play in the games that matter?)

Let me tell you these ex ABBLers in Hadders and Avalon Jets are showing signs that they mean business and they're cashed up. (As oppossed to me who spent most his money on trainees)

even if the top teams maybe aren't as strong as the last couple seasons?

An interesting comment.

Twice before ive won Div 2 championships, and with the exception of not having Pedrosa at SF I reckon my current team is just as strong for this time of season as they were at the equivalent times in the seasons I won

Shhhh...

Could be the game of the season but having only 4 non scrubs & 1 injured it could be a tough one for the Hippopotomuses. :(

Preserved for all time the Windies on top of the ladder!!! What a miracle lol :P

Can we have a mod delete the above post please? :)

Happy new year to all

Avalon Jets take down the top placed Northcote Slammers and Hadders takes down Geelong Vipers.

Need I say more?

I usually tune out when you post... what is it you're saying now?

what he is trying to say is that he thinks Corio and Hadders are making a move to promote to ABBL.

I dont totally disagree - but I wouldnt word it like that. Rather that I believe they are simply better positioned this season through luck and circumstance and general lack of other teams ready to make a move. Im sure they have a vault full of gold though....

Ironically in spite of his recent purchases, Sid has only lost about $3m in the past 2 months, which, given the fact he demoted with the self-proclaimed $10m, leaves him with a still healthy $7m bank balance or thereabouts.

Sell his 3 HoF trainee's towards end of season, pocket $1m-$2m, leaves him with plenty of cashola to make a move.

IMO i dont think Hadders has it in him financially, Corio just pocketed a nice $1m profit from his start of season cleanout and rebuy, AND he probably has the best lineup in the league, so thats some damn fine Buzzerbeatering right there.
But i dont know his bank balance, so its hard to compare to Sid, whom, assuming his $10m number is correct, i believe is still financially best placed to buy up and promote. Team wise? he would have to get rid of his trainee's and buy other players so thats probably going against him.

So in spite of the smoke he keeps offering, unless u see his trainee's on the transfer market, he aint goin anywhere. Corio for me.
