Like a lot of you I have no idea what I am doing. The Beasts were stronger than me last season and both them and ACT have pulled further ahead.
Out with the old. Hainbush, Hutchin, Alarcon, Creek and some draftees are out. That is 2 starters, 1 backup and 1 deep bench gone and nearly $70,000 a week saved. Over 14 weeks I hope that will make a difference to my overall finances even if I will be a little thin on roster for a while.
Draft was terrible, well done Beasts! I actually spent $10,000 a week and got rubbish. Here have a laugh.

He was a 4 ball 6'0" 18 year old and my first preference, sounded good at the time. Awful JS and mediocre OD. Bleh!

Total garbage but 3rd pick always is, I may keep him for a cheap scrimmager. I feel like investing $0 in the draft but if I still am 50-50 on tanking the season need to keep my options open.
Welcome all new people.
