well ur tie vs normal is cancelled out by the hca

he also played just like naker

made his happy bunch of pensinors all play 48 minutes or close to it which is never the best

normally he is very careful & he has given a lot of good teams a hard time but his players are so old maybe some unpops have weakened him

good win pabs

is this as your announcement that tanking is over & winning is here?

what an interesting 1st round

big 8
* adam forgets to set his lineup so cccpba gets their first d2 win
cccpbas 2 big men show their class white has a 30/16 game and the pf Voevodin gets a triple double

* goldfish r so worried about the players they put training off a week & use close 2 best line up 2 get the win

* marmots can barely squeeze past YPB even with odaire matched up against this player for 32 minutes so he can get his bloated stat line

Perry McGlynn (22818660)
Small Forward
Owner: Yarra Park Bears
Weekly salary: $ 2 608
Age: 18
Height: 7'2" / 218 cm
Potential: bench warmer

* jw & HAX have the match of the round with jw showing his strength getting the win away and Jarrod Corica maybe (14844503) announcing his arrival as an elite player after 5 slow seasons of training
HAX also played all his stars 48 minutes dont know what he will do in the next 2 games
will he be giving adam a free win on tv?
will he do a koop & lose 2 a bot in the first round of the cup?

great 8

* smeltztroopers just obliterate WCS looks like he does want his 4th d3 title & as advertised smeltz now has quality company

* meateros slaughtered the 3 cowboys that turned up r the cowboys ridin into the sunset?

* pwnage vs learvins is already discussed but pabs is telling us watch out (esp meaty) this season he is for real

* vis vs WCS was a big upset with vis using the hca to get a great win over one of the teams i have high expectations for

lol funny my 2 finalists both lose 2 my 2 finishing 8th predictions


@rabidcamel - xie can just answer with a mere 41 pts 2nd best in the whole league but he got it against a 40k star not a 2k scrub

1) Let's take hca and effort out of it then. With the same gameshape, enthusiasm and his best lineup... I won comfortably.
2) I have a headstart on enthusiasm due to better management.
3) My players are not going to cost me a fortune in depreciation this season.
4) He didn't upset any decent teams other than yourself last season. Like most, just took advantage of the many teams who tanked.

That being said, I would say you got it horribly wrong...

is this as your announcement that tanking is over & winning is here?

That can't be answered with a definite yes or no. I am far from spending all my resources at a title run as Willie is going to spend a lot of time out of position, but this season I am confident with my current list I am a top 3 side in my conference (while cfh is tanking). Whether I decide to go the all out tank again depends on how I am placed after asw and also whether troopers look like promoting again. At this stage I have no intention of tanking again...

as usual putting an early effort into being mr diplomacy season 18 :P\

but u could be right only u know if it is time 2 go 4 it

looking @ ur roster i thought another season of training would be good & looking @ your conf with smeltz 100% bent on world domination i thought it would be a bad time 2 compete but if u r then no doubt u will be top 3-4

as 4 ur comments about learvins, which also apply to HAX & naker they can always get a good level of success from that sort of strategy but mostly i dont see teams making the abbl that way, they tend to be like fat boy, smeltz, seagulls, adam, monkey, zazz, kynlala etc & have trained their guys into the sort of players that they want

sure there are exceptions like hopelessly addicted but i think they are the minority

I did play my 3.5K 18y/o at PG, and Patient does make games closer - I was 20+ up for a lot of that game, too.

Thanks man, great read again :)

Sure was a strange first round of games.

Anyone notice something odd about most of the winning scores?

101 - Meateors
100 - Marmots, CCCP, JW
99 - Vis Maior, Goldfish

6 out of the 8 games were won by teams with very similar scores. 100 seems to be the benchmark for the win :P

that's true. My first game is also 100 aswell. Just that I didn't score that 100 lol.

bit off topic, but how much does a world renowned trainer with 24k salary go for?

One for sale atm, I reckon 3mil!

Believe it or not HA does train some players.

Pedrosa who is HAs most important player has spent 8 seasons being trained as a small forward and currently HA has delusions about turning Sahin into an ABBL beast and Cauycong and Nefi into top ABBL players

Perhaps HA now tends to "top up train" purchases rather than fresh faced 18 year olds, but HAs first trip to the ABBL was on the back of several seasons of small forward training to Pedrosa and Fallon, the later who was sold to bank roll some acquisitions.

Good luck to all this is certainly a very interesting league to watch.

Be interesting to see some polling of who people expect to win and perhaps Yoda who has just had his wings clipped would be kind enough to calculate out some odds.

I fear Smeltz who claims he is already losing interest might drop the ball if he cant buy his way back to the ABBL.

He certainly has lots of potential oppossition

Id personally hate for HA to relegate down to this league
