I'm calling bullshit here. :p

Why all the smoke and mirrors? Relegating, going bot, going for the cup, playing off in the grand final... you really are an International Man of Mystery, aren't ya?


Well I reckon youd be wrong then

Seriously I dont know what my intentions are

Have spent 1.2 mill or so each on 2 trainees but ofcourse love to get one that I drafted to train.

Iwen spent a season in div 2 before tanking down to div 3 and taking a draftee with him.

My trainees are ages 18 and 19 and there is no way I could one position train them in the ABBL for another couple of seasons and still expect to stay up there.

Cup will be over very quickly as they play 2 rounds during the AllStars week, so it wouldnt be a huge disruption to my trainees training if I really had a bash at it.

Given that I already have a reasonably expensive roster for div 2, it should be fairly obvious that Im trying to be competitive.

A lot will be decided for me when I finally get my third Aussie Trainee.

Ive invested way too much into training my trainees to stop and this will mean being a team that would not be competitive at an ABBL level for 2 or so seasons.

Why would it be bulls..t to think that I wouldnt allow myself to drop down to div 3 and follow the path of other ex ABBlers such as Iwen, Zazz and Avalon Jets ?

But hell why am I saying all this, just listen to VIOS, I truly am evil, you should sell up your rosters now so that the season isnt a complete waste for you all

Because I think if you were truly planning to demote to III you'd be tanking this season to save as much money as possible, while still training your trainees. I know you have a fair bit of cash in the bank, but I don't see you continuing to run with a 'reasonably expensive' roster just for the sake of it. I think if you were really planning to go down, you'd bank the cash this season.

I don't mind if you stay, go up or go down. It's cool having different people come through here, I'm just not believing that you truly plan on demoting. (At least not that season.)

Didnt say that I was planning to demote to div 3, I think from memory I said that I still dont know what my intentions are.

That said going down to div 3 could be still an option for next season, all be it an unlikely one.

Perhaps I might want to bank up some drafting points before having another bash at the draft?

Promoting this season isnt out of the question yet either.

I rank my roster as comparible or better than any ones current team in our league.

(except for the fact Im one position training 3 trainees which drags it down a bit)

Team stats I believe support my opinion

If I happenned to buy a 22 or 23 year old MVP that would fit into my training regime then this would certainly increase the chances that I might make a push.

That said if I brought a 22 or 23 year old Allstar to train, then this would possibly mean nothing as I might just want to train someone for a season to add depth to my one day, all Aussie roster.

Dont try and read too much into things as I seriously dont know what my plans are, and at present all Im doing is keeping my options open

I'll await the blood tests, but that would certainly explain my teams 53 point thrashing at the hands of "The Players"

I guess you'd have to be the prime suspect

Actually I'd probably blame it on the fact that you ran bench players and trainees as starters. Your top wage was a $21k C, you had no intention of winning.

Must be saving your biccies for after the ASG right? ;-)

Lets not take anything away from "The Players" efforts against me

They will be full of confidence and their best players didnt have to spend much time on the court.

I will have a reality check if I do win my cup game on Thursday

This thursday ill be my 6th opponent in the cup and so far the highest ranked team ive played was Pheonix 5 who were ranked 132 and whos players had orrible game shapes

Who knows I might get some II.1 action
