How are you going with the tanking Vios?
Its not as easy as what people think in that it is just soooooo boring.

Actually going pretty well. Had a rough couple of ends to seasons and it's really a break that I needed. A little time off will have me fired up and no doubt more eager to get back in the mix as the season progresses.

So you're only tanking half a season now? Going back on your promise of finishing 0-22? :p

Tanking is not easy its actually sole destroying

Even with some quite expensive trainees, last season really took it out of me.

Its so easy to change your mind or only half tank and at the end of the day unless you can fully tank and can train up some trainees in the process, then its a complete waste of time.

I think I had about 8 mill in players sales and then sat on or under the salary floor all last season in the ABBL, and really all things considered dont have a lot to show for it.

Mind you now days it costs you more to buy a good div 2 roster than what it does an okay ABBL one .

Just between you and me Matt I hope Vios does change his mind because this league will be poorer without him
(reverse phsychology or not?- you will never know)

Yeah I couldn't do it, I'm too competitive to tank an entire season haha.

I hope he stays too, the II.3 forum seems quite lively, due in part to his contributions.

What was the salary floor in the ABBL?

Last season was a new experience for me as Id always been someone who would fight past "the bankruptcy warnings" to win

The formulae for salary floor in ABBL is 180% of tv money, so im guessing its around 390K . To be honest Im on withdrawel from the big dollers and Im getting the "shakes" just thinking about them.

I had a blew a few seasons ago on the ABBL forum with a few of the old gaurd and "wanna be" elites and basically told them that they were "wanna be elites"

Looks like your got a bit of support up there though

Adams Guns certainly came out blazing

On the other side I let loose on that idiot creepy Manager from Victoria Mages, Split J or what ever his name was, when he posted an "opinionated" (abusive type) post up there

I do have some opinions but I am on a self imposed ban from posting on the ABBL forum

Well... this week is interesting for me... an almost "must win" league game against Hadders Heros, and then I play him again in the Cup.
Do I throw everything at the league game to help avoid relegation or do i want to go further in the cup???

Haha, no certainly not what I was trying to suggest. All I meant is that i'm ok now but possibly it will become more of struggle later in the season. I'll be eager to kick into a normal season again after this one.

@Sid: Actually my soul was already destroyed, this is my way of attempting a mend. I remember Beechy being destroyed in a similar fashion and then going bot, so at the least I am still holding on. Tough to get so close to a shot at the ABBL two seasons in a row only to fall short. I think it was 3 times for Beechy, so i'm better dropping back and regrouping than tripling up and imploding.
