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.

Aim was to promote to the abbl with 10 mill in bank. Upto date i dont ever recall having 10mill in the bank. 2 teams i was referring to were hadders and Avalon Jets.

I would personally hope that my 3 trainees are worth more than 1-2 mill as i spent about 4.5 mill buying them.

These trainees will not be sold in any short sighted push to the ABBL, as the intentions are for them to become the nucleous of my team and also Aussie representative players

Your maths is not so good as i have 6 mill less in bank than what i did a couple of months ago.

Basis of my beliefs is not so much about players, as both teams have the money to buy players and the experience and know how to dominate if they wish, But more about attitude and intent which i have seen in both teams.

That said its a huge luxery to be playing a beast of a PF in the SF position

Hadders is a lot better off financially than you think as he has a history of low cost rosters.

No disrespect to either youself or geelong vipers but at present i dont consider yourselves as likely to threaten as i do the top 3 current teams in our conference.

well ive got your trading balance as of November 11, (your previous trade being June) at minus $2.8m - correction - i didnt take into account that you only get max 97% profit from sales and the transfer window does not reflect this - but still, maybe minus $3m.

Thats my maths - not sure how you have lost another 3m on top of that in 2 months.

Arena - nope although maybe the odd downturn in attendance due to away losses. thats only bout $50k in a week though.
Merchandise - again, maybe only $10k per week due to roster changes.
Roster should be ok, probably running even most times.
Staff? - Have you paid $3m in staff over the last 2 months? Maybe? new trainee/PR manager and Doc.
Offset that with $50k from the cup per week that ur getting, and im curious.

Do let us know how youve lost $6m in the past 2 months.

Ive ben frantically searching for the forum post from last season where someone (or yourself) said you had $10m in the bank when you demoted. Unfortunately the only thing i can find is a post that I made about it! haha. So I think that the $10m number is actually a rumour i started last season haha! classic.

PS: Who are Avalon Jets?

Haha no disrespect taken, I don't consider myself as a realistic chance to threaten for the title either :p

Bollox!
you told me in that mail at the end of last season you had $4m in the bank!

Do let us know how youve lost $6m in the past 2 months.

Actually it isnt quite 2 months, but from November 28th to now I have 6 mill less in the bank

For the record my team has been running at a profit most weeks

(or yourself) said you had $10m in the bank when you demoted.

Look as much as you like, I dont ever recall saying this. True I may not have denied it if others said this about myself and I have stated an ambition to one day promote back up to the ABBL with 10 mill in my bank

Am about to play "Puffy Inch" in the cup who have a trading surplus of just over 12 mill and would therefore logically have a good 10 mill in the bank

PS: Who are Avalon Jets?

You must be blind, they are the team currently 3rd in the Big 8 conference in our league

Granted they have been known to use an alias to try and hide their true identity, but they will always be Avalon Jets

An alias doesnt get rid of the money or experience that they have accumulated in the game, therefore they are still Avalon Jets

Ahhh ok i see, so from 11th of November, your trading profit is minus $2.9m
But from 29th November, your trading profit is minus $6m
Makes sense now.

Yer puffjnch (is actually with a J for some reason ) - great example in excellent day trading. what a champ. i mean... bastard for being able to do it so well, but at the same time, good to see someone exploiting a part of the game which very few are able to do successfully.

Your home game though, you should win i woulda thought..... looks like he TIE'd his last game, so maybe banking some enthusiasm there, maybe not. Id TIE you in that circumstance. Away game against a better team, who had Ranga's during the week. obviously you tie'd that one. and maybe against mayhem as well can't tell at first glance.

Ive got a Div III team, but he is ex Div II, my home game as well. so should be aiight. You gonna try and make a run for it this year in the cup?

Dont recall ever not playing TIE so far this season.

Puffy Inch will try as he threw his last league game to allow his best players to be able to play against me.

More concerned with winning league games than having a long run in the cup this season

Have 2 tough league games next week, but had originally planned to beat the "day trader" in the cup and will suit up most of my starters against him.
