Excellent analysis, this is what the forums are for! +1 for you. Two Issues with your comments.

First, and you did address this, the Georgia Heat, are one injury away from being irrelevant, and in this league there have been a lot of injuries (See Oggagalites, Bloomington Saints, Shooter Tutors). So unless their depth is addressed it is hard to call them a "power house" team.

Second and most importantly, I think you failed to point out your own (Oggagalites) glaring deficiency, your finances. I did a little investigation to see if tanking a season to get a good draft pick was a good option.

1.) Because you lost your last 13 games, your fans hate your guts, so they don't come out to your games. Your last home game you drew less than 3000 fans. Which by my quick math netted you somewhere in the neighborhood of $63,000 well below anyone else in this league.

2.) Your roster which is formidible, is greatly overpriced for this league, costing you a whopping $170,000 a week!

3.) Let's say you are in the middle of the pack for the rest of the finacial items (staff, scouting, merchandise, etc) therefore your weekly net income all things considered is around: - $64,000.

Conclusion: not sure if tanking a season is the best way to create a "power house" team.

I how you think your team is so good. NEWS FLASH your not. My depth doesn't scare me one bit and i have already filled that spot with a quality starter at a low price and salary. My team is ready to go and ain't gonna lose. We ARE A POWERHOUSE and could win out.

I how my team is good too. As far as good teams go, how would you know what a good team looks like. Looks like you have spent that last 8 or so seasons jumping between division V and IV. Sounds like the definition of mediocre to me.

Ha ha, yes I'm sure you have played against several good team over the past 8 seasons. You see it is normal for people to get better as the seasons go by, so naturally the people that have beaten you have moved up to a better division. You on the other hand...well we both know how your success has been.

Oh, and that "quality" starter that you just picked up, ya I think you forgot to put him on your roster.

My friend, this is what these forums are for. Last season I was in a league that no one cared, so it's great that people actually pay attention in this league. What amuses me is the fact that I simply restated something you pointed out, and Georgia got all bent out of shape.
