Monkeybiz is safe and he is content with taking 4th or 5th place for now.

Thats the goal. Arena remains my main priority this season and I just want to be out of the relegation race. Although with the tough big 8 conference, it will still be a challenge

Long term plan for HA is to be a force in the ABBL in season 20.

The "to be made public" objectives for this season are;

1/ To further train as planned the 3 players that I have earmarked for further development

2/ To not get relegated (if it doesnt interfere with objective 1)

3/ Save 2 miilion dollars (if it doesnt interfere with Objectives 1 & 2)

what if seagulls dont tank?

you may have to face Zazzo or monkey in your relegation if you dont get 6th...

edit:6th

For a team which is new to the ABBL, staying up may require a season long fight, the sacrifice of training plans and the procurement of overpriced beasts.

Achieving all 3 goals (that were made public) for this season would be an achievement to be celebrated as it would lay the foundations for a competive and sustainable HA squad for many seasons to come

The lesson in Reality will be yours Split J, if your team one day does manage to promote

yeah should have done what everyone else does right before playoffs...

dont think its possible to do your objective 1 and 2 at the same time productively especially at the ABBL level.

Hey Split Z I took the time to reply to your post (nbr 31) that stated I could achieve all 3 of those objectives in div 3.

Was the reason that you deleted that post that fact you realised how "ignorant" (polite word for silly) your statement actually was?

I didnt want to come off as rude so that I deleted it but since you mention it, yeah you could.

after all your "hysterical" (polite word for mad) posts, just think that your being a bit greedy and trying to "coerce" (poilte word for force) the other new teams into tanking just so that you could potentially cement your standing as an ABBL team. I think you're looking down on ABBL if you believe that you can train more than 2 (2 position training) or 1 trainee (1 pos training) without even facing any threat of relegation....

WTF?! anyways......... my first ABBL game is tomorrow. First up, wolfman followed by monkeyman! can't wait to bring some pain!

Get a grip (a lot more polite than saying let go of it)

On one hand your saying that all 3 of those objectives could be achieved in div 3 (inference being that the objectives are easy) and on the other hand your stating that I am looking down on the ABBL if I think I can train without facing any threat of relegation.

How can, wanting to continue training , be looking down on the ABBL, when I state that it would be something to celebrate if I could achieve that and the other objectives?????????

As for me trying to coerce or force other new teams into tanking, well Yoda and I have played against each other for several seasons and I consider him a friend and if Ive upset him or anyone else I will apologise but there are realities.

1/ Reality is that its hard to stay up in the ABBL first time around and sometimes the smart thing to do is accept this and stash some cash instead of risking all chasing an impossible dream.

2/ Gamesmanship/banter (within limits) is part of this game and this forum

3/ Your in Division 2 and so far havent you managed your team well enough to make it to the ABBL (possibly would have been more polite to say "lucky enough" to make it to the ABBL), and despite this your casting your judgements and opinions about those who have.

4/ I may not have the tactical smarts of the managers from the other new ABBL teams, but HA has been in the ABBL before, has a stronger team than the other new teams and has the biggest stadium

5/ Objective 1, just may be obtainable if I do indeed manage to pysch one of the new managers in the Great 8 conference, into outtanking Iwen

This year will be interesting for me. I have 2 elite ABBL guys in Kuman and Bergman and a bunch of other guys that are very solid. IF i avoid a horrid injury run like last year and my training goes as planned i should have the depth needed to take a shot at the title this year or next.

If things go bad in the 1st half of the year i may sell off 200-300k worth of players and really save up like C-Cat did at the end of last season. If they go well i should have 2-3 mill to spend at the end of the season and perhaps make a WB style run at a trophy this season.

I'll be tanking one of my games this week as i have a tough Cup draw first up against the Meteors (43 overall) and i'll have to roll out a full squad to slap him around. Bryce and Yoda will just have to wait and see who gets the easy win!
