No I didnt interview the ones I ended up with.

I wanted to scout as many as I could because I knew that with Avalon Jets and Adams Guns would get the best.

I figured that with scouting them and them not turning up to a group demonstration that they'd have to be a 3 baller or better.

I guess I used Dires logic, " it should just be a way to scout all of the lower potential players instead of having to waste a point on each one", in reverse in that by not turning up I deduced that they should have good potential.

Mllama might be on the money

Bugger it, can we redo the draft?

For most of the season I invested $40K per week.

37 scouting points is what I used and well what an expensive lesson it turned out to be.

Would be nice to get that money back.

Adams Guns pipped me for the All Time Great 18 year old

At some stage in the next few weeks I will have to cut about 50 K from the players salaries

I hope to finish off the stadium and take it to just under 20K capacity

Have good depth in the roster so will try and hang in the cup for a while and win the games in the league that matter most

By end of season I will have ABBL standard PF, SF and SG or PG and have a training plan set out for the season

I expect to have a few other players who should sell really well later in the season so I reckon you should be able to figure out the rest.

Div 2 is a lot tougher than I remember

Wont be an easy league to win.

The crowds I get the next few weeks will be very important to me as I took a real risk and really slashed the prices.

Will need to get 90% capacity

Would be nice to get back into the ABBL with a Mill to splash instead of a debt to start with like last time and also have a decent stadium to begin with
