smeltz, adam, jw, camel, cowboys all wanting 2 win

what a nightmare!

GONNA CRUSH YOU FISHY

not rly

prly just going to tank again

marmots fail constantly

:(

ahh we finally meet again fishy
i'm waiting keenly for our matchup !

me 2

both smeltz & xie have had training issues

smeltz is capped & xie is now 28 & officially the oldest trainee any team has ever had anywhere ever

however in shocking news goldfish coaching staff admit they have been considering the possibility of replacing xie with a 19 year old in the training rotation however as xie owns a majority share of the team that proposal has been quashed

season 18 fishy preview

best player

adams guns
Christopher Sidwell (9473567) Center Weekly salary: $ 111 318
total dominator inside & probably better than any other big man in this league now that duffman is gone
scored 22ppg 18rpg & 14.0 rating last season

CCCPBA (Aust. Div.)
Jake White (16266954) Center Weekly salary: $ 76 510
ripped up d3 but will find things different here i doubt he can still score 20ppg & 16rpg but the 13.5 rating is good

Home Axis
Sima Kaijian (5705343) Small Forward Weekly salary: $ 55 830
Philipp Gartmayer has a higher salary but i think sima is better a hard matchup for anyone with few good sfs in the league he stands out
22ppg 7 rpg but a disappointing 1.4apg - the rating of 10.5 is misleading sfs always get bad ratings

JW City Bulls
Damir Toš (6049985) Center Weekly salary: $ 102 089
any 100k + player in d2 need to perform & he did last season getting an incredible 16.0 rating scoring 18ppg and pulling 11 rpg he was the heart of jw & his underperforming teammate Ünal Egeli is shipping out leaving tos with more to do

Melbourne Goldfish
Xie Guanzheng (11323951) Shooting Guard Weekly salary: $ 74 652
the prodigious one at age 28 is now officially the oldest trainee in the bb world but he keeps on popping so i aint stoppin
24 ppg, 5rpg & 5apg are great numbers but the 13.5 rating for a guard is somthing very rare

Rampaging Marmots
Barry Ó Daire (14986013) Point Guard Weekly salary: $ 80 939
if xie is the best sg in the league barry is probably the best pg also scoring an incredible 13.5 rating, pumping out a massive 28ppg, 4 rpg & 5 asp, brilliant player

The Players
ranked higher than jw or i the players spent 11 seasons in 3/10 is that a record?
two standout players on the players but i give the edge to
Alan Ersev (14664510) Center Weekly salary: $ 62 095
he didnt score much last season just 6ppg but his 13.9 rating puts him up with tos and sidwell as a premier defensive big man

Yarra Park Bears
hard to work out what ex-abbl team ypb is doing but i dont mind
current best player - none

Cowboys From Hell
since their finals loss the passion is gone a stripped roster leaves only one player of note
Antoine Villain (3035238) Shooting Guard Weekly salary: $ 25 637
constantly overachieves for his meager salary

Learvins
Xavier Hinson (4488287) Center Weekly salary: $ 69 184
on a well run and cost effective team he is another good example of a player who outperforms expectations getting 18ppg 17rpg and an incredible 5apg from the center position gotta love a passing big man

SmeltzTroopers
Ky Smeltz (10071569) Center Weekly salary: $ 140 742
he is the smeltz troopers - his stats from a season of tanking in the abbl dont mean much but his 14.5 rating does, some top big men in this league

The Meateors
also debatable who is best on this fairly even team but to me it is
Sosaia Carrington (5151377) Small Forward Weekly salary: $ 49 038 Role: key player
25ppg 6 rpg & 2.5 apg keep him up with Sima Kaijian as an elete sf

The Pwnage
i would have liked to say Spencer Johnson but he is way outclassed by
Herman Mundine (9469920) Center Weekly salary: $ 110 248
yeat another top big man getting 18ppg 14rpg 13.0 rating but a laughable 0.2 apg

Vis Maior
stick forever in 3/2 it took 10 seasons to make d2 1 less than the players to clear his log jam of hardcore teams
their whole roster is for sale but i can say one player is notable
Ted Marcum (10252354) Center Weekly salary: $ 54 890
with his Inside Shot: prodigious he has been an unstoppable force for a long time

West Adelaide Bloods
Juraj Hoferica (12245262) Center Weekly salary: $ 136 789
just what this league needs is another crazy center 18ppg 14rpg & 15.0 rating puts him in the elete team

West Coast Steel
Boris Kužel (13538233) Center Weekly salary: $ 114 638
and just 4 once it is a dominant big man lol boris had a lazy 20ppg 12rpg and 15.0 rating l

Boris Kužel (13538233) Center Weekly salary: $ 114 638
and just 4 once it is a dominant big man lol boris had a lazy 20ppg 12rpg and 15.0 rating last season

funny that out of the 16 teams the best player is
center x 10
sf x 2
pg x1
sg x2
none x1

could be another long season...

so rankings say adam, cowboys and smeltz will dominate while ypb, cccpba & marmots suck

so teams like ypb, meaty, west coast steel and lots of others have been around 4ever

i am totally amazed that i am the 3rd youngest team in the league & well done to HAX 4 being the second youngest

but lol @ cccpba 2 whole seasons younger than any other d2 team, thats great work comrade :P

Cowboys From Hell finals d2

West Coast Steel won 3 different d3s
CCCPBA (Aust. Div.) won d3
The Players won d3

we have an incredible 4 ex-abbl teams, a finalist, & 3 semifinalists in d2
funny that WCS seems to like collecting d3 championships
finally cccpba, players abd vis maior are all in their first season of d2 & it will be interesting to see how many of them survive - my tip is players will, cccpba & vis maior wont

so where would we be without my final predictions for this season

adam wont want to remain here too long & will go all out
jw has a great team and was very close last season
this is based on rabidcamel saying he will compete - otherwise he could be headed for 7th again
Home Axis is solid but what is their long term plan?
goldfish may be doing some very hard training in league games this season so will lose a lot
players have a strong team & really can end anywhere 3rd -6th depending on how much they are willing to spend & if they think it is worth it - what is their long term plan?
ypb may be tanking the season again but i suspect they have massive finances so outspend cccpba if they need to
cccpba from season 13 have no arena and a bunch of old guys 1/2 of which are 4 sale and look bad except for their few really good big men cant see them beating anyone in the big8 except ypb


great 8
SmeltzTroopers
West Adelaide Bloods
Learvins
West Coast Steel
The Pwnage
The Meateors
Cowboys From Hell
Vis Maior

very hard conference here to judge
smeltz is back from tanking in the abbl with smeltz and a fortune so must be favourite
bloods have a deep team & are well managed i expect them to give him a hard time
learvins are the other young team but run like clockwork behind their great ball movement
next 3 are really a coin toss 4 me
wcs look to be for real with a quality roster
bffls pwnage & meators will probably fight for the $$$ of 5th
cowboys have lost their way & will probably just do what they have 2 do to stay out of 8th just like ypb
Vis Maior is already selling guys and like cccpba may be best off just making a fortune this season and rebounding - or like cccpba they may have a disinterested older team (ypb & cowboys) that they can leap over

there is already 0% of all of this but if things go the way i suggest...

in relegation ypb will pull out the big $$$ again and relegate meators
cowboys will continue dozing and players will survive

in big 8 adam will smack hax
jw will take marmots
then adam will again make all of jws massive spending for nothing

in the great 8
smeltz will dispose of WCS
bloods will take the learvins
then bloods will upset smeltz who lacks support & has gotten fat & lazy

finals bloods go in hard but adam has way too much depth & gets back to the abbl

there

i did my bit

should be a little to discuss
