Hmm I can't really see that happening considering he's in the Big 8 (though I can't see him selling at $3mil, i'm sure he'll go before the cross over games). Mind you, Chelsea looks fairly likely to "enjoy" the experience of being schooled by an Aussie BB Hall of Famer. Personally I won't be losing any sleep if I don't get to share in that joy... :-P

You can count on me providing season previews so long as I remain in the league. Once I bow out of finals, for that week or two I am hanging out to see the updates. The new season is always refreshing and you get to see how well you trained your young guns. I also enjoy dissecting the new teams and then displaying their current strengths for all to see. Welcome to the Div new guys! ;-)

Hopefully I can find time to add semi regular award races, ideally I'd like to do them every 4-5 games.

Looking at my schedule I expect I will have a slower start compared to my last two seasons. I am confident I can come home strong though especially if I can save the cashola that I plan to.

But all the teams in the league should already know everyone else's teams like the back of their hand (or is that just me?). The whole point of me doing previews on the new teams is so that we can all get a basic glimpse of what they bring. If I were to do every team it would be a waste of time because many teams will trade players in and out and make my previews irrelevant.

It's also supposed to be a bit of a initiation for the new teams. It's kinda like parading all the newbies around stripped naked, for all the other teams to see. Can't let them roll in here thinking they own the place! ;-)

But what I can do is this... Based soley on current country rankings (pre-game 1), Conference rankings with overall league ranking in brackets!

Again it looks as though the Big 8 hold the stronger teams with the top 3 sides residing in the "blue corner", surprise, surprise Beechy is again the early flag favourite based (on these rankings). Haggards looks to lead the "red corner" with the Nasciboys and Smeltztroopers in close support.

Big 8
1. Beechy: CR-22 / (1)
2. Chelsea Seagulls: CR-25 / (2)
3. Stone Slashers: CR-31 / (3)
4. Pheonix 5: CR-35 / (5)
5. Crush Lakers: CR-58 / (10)
6. VictoriaMages: CR-60 / (11)
7. Moosas Mad Men: CR-61 / (12)
8. The Dons: CR-97 / (14)

Great 8
1. Haggards: CR-33 / (4)
2. Downboys: CR-39 / (6)
3. Sastroopers: CR-43 / (7)
4. Vio's Violationers: CR-46 / (8)
5. Aussie Pride: CR-52 / (9)
6. Allsorts: CR-83 / (13)
7. Team Lordy: CR-107 / (15)
8. Lazio@: CR-112 / (16)

Good luck boys, last season HA made a split from the main pack fighting for promotion. I wonder if someone will do the same again this season or will it be an even fight till the end?

Congrats on managing to hold your spot up in the ABBL!

I reckon after your championship and HA's we are starting to figure it out. Might find a few more ppl trying the same tactic this season. Who it will be we will just have to wait and see!

My wages went up nearly $50k on last season's so my income won't be as good. Hopefully I can put myself in a fair enough position to have a crack. I expect Pheonix 5 may make some purchases that will put a dark cloud over most hopeful team's heads.

No bot for me but a 338 country ranking should see me through to the 2nd round at least. I'll be TIE with my bench though so could still be close. Not like I care if i'm out first round anyway.
