The most awesome thing about Awesome^.- is how young their team is. In fact three of those four teams will be in the four youngest ABBL teams of all time.

Awesome^.- Season 13 played no games offseason so really season 14.
Slam ! Season 11 played no real games just three scrimmages so really season 12.
West Island Tigers Season 10 round 17 and got relegated from division III.
Guanzheng Goldfish (formerly Melbourne Goldfish) Season 10 round 4.
Chelsea Seagulls Season 10 round 2.

So while Slam ! was a spring chicken compared to all of us old farts, Awesome^.- is a baby. To get to the ABBL from in effect season 14 is incredible. This is a team rapidly rising and while I have no idea what their plans are this season they are a team to watch with a brilliant manager.

Awesome join the Big 8 while Guns, Goldfish and Tigers go to the Great 8.

Had a sneak peak at a few ABBL draftees and I got to say the draft was pretty darn awful. Somehow Koops landed the best kid in the draft with the 30th pick. O_O

I guess Season 22 is the season to tank and grab first pick since usually when Adam is around the best draftees show up. ;)

It's called the "i-win" button, you know the infamous GM button that everyone talks about. Oh I can't believe my luck when I saw a Russian rookie LOL it fits in well with my synergy and all...

Grats to all 4 four new teams. Goldfish is back bigger and stronger in the great 8 and I'm guessing he is back with vengeance LOL

adam guns seems to be the strongest out of the four promotees, so lets just hope he decides to go for another Jon Bogan cos I would not like to face him at the end of the season.

awesome and west island tigers I do not know much about since it's their first time in the ABBL but they will enjoy their $1mil promotion money.

Gday blokes I dont know much either. Never actually thought Id make it up here with all of youse so got no bloody plans at all. The GM reckons Im pissweak but I did make top 4 in the tournament last season.

The GM is just scared you will beat him.

nfi, thats what i wanna hear! Just roll wit the punches mate ;)

Of course I'm scared.. any team that rolls with an all aussie lineup has respect from me.

hello :) i need an overhaul i got the weekest team out of all the promotees :(

Might as well let you all know now. I'm heading off to Europe for 2 months in the coming days and have no idea how much access I'll have to internet so I've decided the safest option for me is to tank. I'm sorry if that upsets anyone but it's just the way it is.
If I find I can manage a few wins and potentially hang around towards the back end of the season, then it's possible I'll try and win a few games But I will be selling most of my good players and tanking shortly.

Good luck to all of you this season.

Cheers,
Adam
