I must be getting sick of this game.

I have prided myself for the last 4 or 5 seasons that ive been an astute purchaser who rarely loses when reselling a player whom Ive brought.

But because I couldnt be stuffed trawling the markets for weeks Ive knowingly paid way over price on each of my last 3 purchasers, probably an amount of a mill over on the combination of the three, just to get it over and done with.

Hopefully I should now have enough of a team to win a few cup games

oh i wouldnt be too hard on urself. You purchsed at THE most expensive time of the year.

Plus sometimes the transfer market is just like that. When i made my recent SF purcahse, I did all this research, and ended up having 25 guys bookmarked, ready bid on them if the first one in the list went over my preferred price.

so what happens of course? I win the bid on the first guy....

i mean.. great for me... but the amount of times ive done that in the past, bookmarked 10 or so guys and then ended up missing out on all of them.... yer.

so meh sometimes it happens. we are all guilty of over paying at some stage.

Actually brought a SF with my 4th last purchase. Very happy with him (Florian Kirchlengern (17900644). I seem to have made a bit of rookie mistake in that I have too many players to train. Will focus on 3 Aussie HOF trainees

I hope Corio Bay realise he is cursed. Koop had an unbeatable team and lost with him his curse causing Radford to be injured. Direwolf never loses but lost with him. I went 1-4 with him last season and 13-4 once I got rid of him. Home Axis had a $900,000 roster against Fishys $500,000 roster but couldn't win because guess what? Snake Eyes! Corio Bay is going to get relegated this season.


Dont know of any team by that name in this league.

Closest we have to a team from that part of Victoria is a team by the name of Avalon Jets.

Dont you remember them, ex ABBL team and all?

Actually he is another Manager who just this season has followed Whitebeards lead and gone to an all Australian lineup

May change the nationality of his players but hes still the same old Avalon Jets

It is quite a trend here in the ABBL. In the Great 8 there are three teams (Whitebeard, Koopasaurus and West Island Tigers with 100% Aussie teams, I am a positive alien with 4/15 players being foreigners.

Im heading that way (all aussieline up) my self with 7 out of the 14 being true blue.

You have to certainly pay a premium for the aussies, but I will keep on going with this strategy.

The next 2 players to be sold will be internationals and I reckon I might turn over all the remaining internationals at the end of the season.

What I really would have liked was a decent draftee to train but Ive had to settle for buying 3 aussie trainees.

Next season or two whether I be in div 2 or 3, my intention is for the 3 trainees to be the core of the team

Well the term decent is a bit relative.

I think mine are decent but they were ordinary as compared to Guest as an 18 year old

Each has his issues especially given my aspirations to produce Small Forwards

Wills is his height (188cm)

Ryders was his pitiful OD and his 206cm height

Palmeris is his pitiful Inside Shot

Ive done hard yards on defense with the later 2, which has slowed down their overall skill increases

Trying to make a 206CM guy with pitiful OD into a SF is a brave, brave task. Good luck on that one.
