and our Cup Dreams are over.. Possum Chasers dismantled us.. 2 positives : their trainee fouled out so wrecked his minutes, my trainee got 48m... really looking forward to training update tomorrow!

Well I was thinking I could just get by on my $25-$40k a week income (attendances should rise a little once new prices are in effect I'm hoping!) and then sell a couple of my trainees later to get a bit of a bank balance happening for arena upgrades next year. Am I way off in my thinking? I have no idea haha

You definitely convinced me to atleast try to stay up, so I'll do my best in that regard but my team is going to take some time now to develop after an entire first season wasted ie grossly incorrect training etc.

Thanks Hippo, please don't destroy me too much in our game lol... my prediction... PAIN

Am I way off in my thinking?


Hey Stazza, you are not way off at all but I would suggest you consider a couple of things.

1. Upgrade your arena incrementally. The longer you leave the money sitting in your account the less you could potentially be making, we don't make interest with this bank!
2. Don't expect too much for your trainees. Skyhooks showed earlier this season even with the full season of training and the quality of his trainee depending on your timing with the TL you may not make what you expect.

It is a good thing that Skyhook has convinced to to try and hang in this league, it is a good league and very active in the forums, not many others can boast that claim, only our rivals III.6 :)

never sell players at the end of the season is my new motto.. that is when you buy buy buy :D I also think Atoy's piss poor primaries contributed to his low sale price, which was the reason i sold him..

If i were you stazza, i would cut the shit out of my staff salaries and bank that extra coin.. drop your PR manager and Doctor down a level.. if you can wipe 20k off your staff salaries, in 10 weeks that is another 1000 bleachers for your stadium!

Strategise with your game tactics as well.. Start using TIE and CT a bit. Like with your game against Hippos, if you know you cant win, TIE, build up your enthusiasm, so when you have a game you think you can win, Crunch Time it and try to steal the win... Or, keep that enth maxed for the upcoming relegation battle. Your teams enthusiasm at the end of the season, could be the difference between being in div 3 or 4 next season :D

My motto on Enth is this:

TIE = Norm
Norm = CT
CT = HOLY BEJESUS I NEED THIS WIN!!!

And you can quote me on this

The people that he can afford to cut this season are his Doctor and PR manager like you said because he will get the attendance boost for the promotion. And i do feel sorry for you Stazza for 2 reasons, 1. You were put into one of the hardest III's in Australia (Although this can be a good thing if you win it because you will have a higher quality side if you promote to Div II) and 2. You were put into the BIG 8 which is considered considerably harder that the GREAT 8.

But hope is not all lost however, even if you lose the relegation battle ALOT of teams go bot and open up slots for other teams to fill i.e. the active DIV III teams so you could still be here at the end even if you dont do to well...

Maybe Dire can move him to the GREAT 8

Cheers mate,

1) I did mention this tactic (upgrading arena incrementally) to the forum and one of the lads said I'm better off not doing so if I'm not filling my stadium each week.

2) great, so it's just like Battrick in that regard, the timing on the TL is everything.. bummer :(

Yea I like the interaction in this league and you guys are alright so I'm enjoying it, I'd prefer to stay up!

That sounds like the way to go mate, I might have to start chopping away at my staff

I have already started doing that with enthusiasm - the games I thought I could win (ie. Boganators) I set to Crunch and the games against the teams ranked 1-5 or so I was gonna set to TIE and just take it like a b*tch hahaha

The Big 8 is much stronger than the Great 8 mate, other than myself and Be high and Sammy Dog who is starting to come to the ball game it's not much hype. I would look at waiting until the end of the season and assessing who you are going to be playing, then buy a seasoned vet to help you stay in the league, for a small amount of money you will keep your spot and you will have a position filled that you don't have now for a few more, assuming you get a 30/31 yr old.

The other comment, with you not filling your arena lower your prices slightly and increase your arena size. Long term it will save you money as you won't have to upgrade arena and buy players at the same time. Don't take my word as gospel of course, pick what tactics work for you as all the other guys do too. Just offering a different perspective.

Good luck with whatever decision you make though :)

ahhhh a loss tonite for me.

time to set tactics for the rivalry match with the Dreamers... he does appear to be tanking. however being rivals he will definitely try win. But to what end? CT? do i play outside despite the presence of Chan? my loss tonite and poor outside performance has made me hesitant to do so. even with the Dreamers losing Robinot they can still be devastating outside. then what enthusiasm to put in? is normal required to beat the depleted dreamers? or will TIE cut it even if Skyhook CT's?

some tough decisions for me

Mad Rangas v Orange Spartans looks and intriguing match

As does the Glory v CT Towers who i am a little surprised are bottom

Sammy v Be High will also be crucial in deciding a home court playoff game

C-webs v Zed's also looks a tight affair. Can C-web stop Pabich??? not sure they can
