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.

better off saving your money and buying one from the transfer market

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.

Hongjing is a FREAK.

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?

Congratulations DRebie on smashing the MVP count with three of the top 5 and claiming the win. Do you reckon Escobal was your best player this season? The MVP throws up some odd results some times. Hard luck on the quarter final slip up, by the way. Your side of the draw is pretty competitive.

hey mate, interested in your thoughts on who wins it from here after the first round of finals. I'm assuming when you mentioned only two teams that could win it you meant the Bears and the Dongs? So do you reckon that makes the Bears a walk up winner from here? Or can Trolololo or the Cheese can pull off an upset. For me personally I was rapt just to make finals because it meant I avoided the 2-3 YoYo I did for ages last time I got to this level, so I'm not expecting to go a lot further from here.

It was always between top ups and the bears. They have the best win/loss by a long way (bears would have been better if they didn't tank games for the cup) for a reason. Top ups got caught trying to lock it up by playing normal effort (which I would have done myself). Bears would be at unbackable odds right now.

Sadly, you were never in the running because you had so much salary tied up into one player. You'll never pay 200k a week for one player and put a competitive team around him in div2.
