No. There are only 2 teams that can win it and they are both in the same division. I could have contended, but would spend everything to not demote next season so I want to draft a trainee to build my next ABBL run around.

There are teams with a worse record than me despite the fact I'm on an all out tank. And I'm on the strong side of the draw. That shows you the depth of this league...

I see what you’re saying. Our side had 3 promotions, I believe, including myself. So I guess with yourself and Melbourne on the rebuild (tank) it becomes a battle of who wins your half as to who promotes. Still, on our half of the draw the race to play offs and to avoid relegation will be interesting at least. It’s a nice change after a comp with only 4 live players, 3 of which were on the one side of the draw. Hopefully whoever makes the playoff from our side makes it a little interesting at least.

Personal challenge for my side this time around. My first attempt at Div 2 in 2018 saw me take on Trololo twice, for a 20-ish point loss and a 50-ish point loss. Based on that I'd say if I get within 20 points on Tuesday I'm calling it a win! I reckon I'd only have one player left on my roster from that season, mind you. I'm also hoping to not lose the rebounds by 30+ like the previous times we've met!

In fact, the only count I've ever beaten Trololo in is fouls! I had WAY more last time around.

Don't waste your balls in this seasons draft. Not a single 5/5 star 18 year old. Only one 5/5 19 year old (only A grade rating) I found with the 78 balls I spent before deciding it's better to tank again next season.

That said, there's probably no point next season either. I get shit on every single draft I scout.

Well that's kind of deflating news....

The best player I ever drafted (Hongjing) was a 19yo I hadn't even scouted who I picked up in the second round by chance. It can be a bit of a lottery, really.
The comp I came out of last season had two 5/5 18yos, sadly I only managed one of them.

I never bothered in the draft at the start for that reason. Just got sick of overpaying for top level draftees when the best out there are being wasted by people who don't know how to train. Last draft I was invested in I got the 3 best picks in the draft. One was a 44 point HOF and 2 low 50s superstars. The HOF was nearly a full season behind and the superstars would never have an impact at ABBL level.

Now they've 'improved' the chances of a good pick in every draft, you would think having the first pick would get you a monster. There will be at least 20 better players in Australia than the best in our league and they'll all have a season of extra time with a youth trainer.

I'll probably recover my investment costs, but anyone else who's invested enough to scout properly will need 2 of the best 6 to cover theirs.

I didn’t get to watch the game live tonight (bloody kids) but his stats look like some sort of game. You would have had me tonight but for Hongjing.

Losing Duncan 6 minutes into the second of the semi - that's going to hurt.

Hey Geelong, welcome. How is starting a franchise from scratch in div 2? Are you new or returning?
