III.7

A very even comp here according to the voters with the Atrains with 3 votes and C U Next Tuesday, Springvale Shaquilles and Sonic Booms all picking up 2 votes a piece. The Shaquilles have the undefeated record, however have the other 3 hot on their tail.

Teams left in cup - 4

III.8

Possibly a few teams voting for themselves in this division, but Unbeatables is the crowd favourite with 3 votes and Eggplantopopulous 2nd favourite with 2 votes.

The Eggplants wont have a say with their 1-6 record, Whereas the 7-0 Clippers and Demons weren't backed at all by the voters.

Div II relegate Learvins was looked over for the title here with Mayhem and Bringing Sexy Back polling 3 votes a piece, with last seasons Runner-up MTbreds polled 2.

The voters seemed to know what they were doing as Learvins struggles at 3-4, while the other three have had solid starts. The Wild Turkeys questioned their omission from the poll and have shown why sitting atop the Great 8.

III.10

The two ex div II teams receive the tags of favourites in the eyes of the public. The Meteors narrowly edge out Doncaster Flames as the favourites with 4 & 3 votes respectively.

Both sides are atop their conferences and looking good for title pushes.

III.11

The money has really come for Zazzocalypse to demolish their way back to div II being an ex ABBL team. They however had other plans and have tanked their way to 0-7 in an attempt to out-tank Tetrahedron for the top pick. We will take a closer look at the actual competing teams later on with 4 at 6-1 there will be some big games.

III.12

The league everyone has been waiting for! A fairly good turnout with 17 voters picking their favourites. The clear favourites with 7 votes are my lads the Gisborne Gladiators. Although Skyhook Dreamers are also well back with 4 votes, with 2 unfortunate souls voting for the erratic South Brisbane Vultures.

There were two voters who believed someone can drop from the clouds and take a championship away from the elustrious list of teams.

The Gladiators have disappointed to date with a 4-3 record, whereas the Dreamers are looking the best at 7-0. A few teams left on 6-1 who could have justified some votes.

The clear favourites with 7 votes are my lads the Gisborne Gladiators.

RIGGED! Good job on the article bainsy

If the poll was re-done now would the 4-3 Gladiators really get more votes than the 7-0 Dreamers or 6-1 Thunder (who may be the "other" in this poll)?

the big difference between the gladiators and the dreamseris they have money!

we have a tuff 3 game stretch now, i would expect us to drop some games...

Yeh people would probably vote Dreamers, just by looking at the ladder. But at this point the teams are quite even.

The other would definitely include SBV. Only seemed to have tried in 1 game. Unfortunately for me that was vs my lads. I am confident I can string some wins together and put pressure on tills for 2nd. Well depending on my cup run.

III.13

With only 7 voters here, it seems Awesome^.- have timed their run to perfection and are red hot favourites with 5 of the 7 votes. The only other teams to receive a vote were Branny and Big Black Wang. I can only assume that it is Fishy who voted for the Wang as he seems to have an infatuation with those things.

Awesome are as expected top with 7-0 with Branny right on their heels with 6-1. The Wang however have disappointed with a 2-5 record in 7th place.

III.14

It seems nobody cares about III.14 with a pitiful 4 voters, one of which was myself. Anyhow Fashion Victims got half of the votes so we can assume they are favourites.

They are 7-0 so they are definitely looking good so far, I think this division will take until the cross-over games are done to sort itself out.

III.15

Only 6 voters here with div II relegate Stone Slashers getting 2 and Foenix Suns getting 2. I am surprised to see that the Shepparton Shooters have recieved no votes, a team that has promised so much and delivered so little.

Stone Slashers are sitting pretty justifying their favouritism with a 7-0 record, while the Suns have slumped to 4-3 but still very much in the hunt for the PO's.

III.16

Well with 4 of the 6 votes coming for the bot Melbourne Kangaroos (no longer exist), i guess the div II relegate The Players with their 2 votes are the favourites here.

With a 7-0 record they are heading back to div II it seems, possibly fortunate for them to land here than some of the more competitive div III's

This season it seems like the competition is harder across the division with only 13 undefeated teams left at this stage, when last season their was 14 teams left 3 rounds later.

With 2 teams from III.1, III.3 and III.8 making the list, we are essentially already down to 10 possible 22-0 teams. I should be good to monitor the progress

The Cup

III the tornado vs. Onski Mooses III

I Bell Park SuperCats vs. Flames III
IV Sparrows Curse vs. Home Axis III
II High School Drop-outs vs. The Players III

There are 33 div III teams left in the Last 64 teams

We will lose at least 8 due to div III teams playing eachother. and then a further 6 who play ABBL teams could lose and 9 who play div II teams.

If worse comes to worse there may be only 11 div III teams remaining in the round of 32.

Cleveland Steamers and Home Axis got the pick of the bunch facing 2 of the remaining div IV sides.

I would say the biggest games will be:

CCCPBA (Aust. Div.) vs. Gisborne Gladiators
Branny vs. The Winnerz
Unbeatables vs. Slam!
High School Dropouts vs. The Players

Who do you think can cause an upset this round?

Haha, I don't think I can win it all. I don't even know why I'm the favourite, tying with the likes of the Stone Slashers.

I'm not going for the win this season, not with Stone Slashers in the league, but I am trying to come 4th in the playoffs to at least have a go at the title :)

I don't know how I'm going to win. So far I'm quite content with coming 5th, everything is going well, and now I'm out of the cup, I can completely focus on the league now.

Its okay your in a rebuilding phase.. kinda like what the suns are doing now with steve nash and grant hill...
try to aim for 4th or 5th.. kinda like what the suns are doing now when they aim for 8th or 9th.

you will come good as long as you dont let your players go.. kinda like what happened to the suns when they let joe johnson go... amare go...

had a good roster bad in the days with sir charles

Well none of our leaders lost last night, however there was a little bit of shuffling around at the bottom of our table, with the top 7 staying the same.
