The Blue Preview!
Season 21 is upon us.. Pancakes has gone back to the ABBL where he belongs. The Rampaging Marmots also farewelled Div 2.1 last season, but headed back to division 3 after finishing in 8th.
2 new teams join the conference from Division 3, with The Tornado's, crowned champions of 3.1 last season, and the Skyhook Dreamers securing Bot promotion.
Yarra Park Bears
The bears, led by the infamous PeteVas, return to Div 2.1 for their ninth season in the league! In season 20, they got off to a slow start dropping their first 2 games, but then went on an incredible 20-0 run to put some fear and pressure into league favorites Pancakes. The Bears sold up at the end of last season, and have yet to declare their intentions for season 21.. Once they make their move however, they could be an unstoppable force in the Big 8!
Rival : JW City Bulls
JW City Bulls
Led by JW himself, the Bulls had a great campaign in season 20 finishing 3rd in the Big 8 with a 16-6 record! The Bulls showed a competitive streak throughout the season, but were just outclassed against the big guns in the league.. They have made 2 key purchases this off-season, in the hope of going 1-2 places better this season! The Bulls at this stage look good for another solid playoff season, and could challenge for league honors!
Rival : Adams Guns
CCCPBA (Aust Div.)
Led by the mad Russian Vladdy, CCCPBA return to div 2.1 for their 4th season, after finishing 4th in the Big conference last season. They are a young team on the rise, boasting U21 starlet from season 20 Darren Lonergan on their roster! They will be looking to not only improve their record this season, but get some sweet vengeance on new Great 8 promotee, Gisborne Gladiators!
Rival : From Way Downtown
From Way Downtown
Led by the infamous hittingtreys FWD returns for their 2nd season in the league.. They got off to a great start last season, and once securing a spot on the roster outside relegation, sold up and held onto 5th place! Most suspect they are cashed up, and will need to spend some coin before the season kicks off if they are to improve on last seasons 5th place finish!
Rival : CCCPBA
Lewisness
Awesomeness returns for his 2nd seasons in the league, after winning their relegation battle over The Pwnage last season. A young solid core is supported by a troupe of wiley veterans, and after a season of building up, they could have the cash reserves to make an impact this season, but will be hoping to finish with a greater record than last season 7-15
Rival : CCCPBA
Adams Guns
The Guns fired blanks last season as they finished in 7th spot in the league. In the off season they have declared their intentions, replacing their blanks with live ammunition bringing in key players, and making bids on possible future stars.. The relegation battle is not an option for this team in S21, they are targetting a solid playoff berth.
National Representatives : Peter Morgan (Scotland SG) Svibor Vidas (Aus PF)
Rival : JW City Bulls
The Tornado
The Tornado left a path of destruction in 3.1 last season, finishing with a 21-1 record before whipping up a storm in the playoffs against the Melbourne Ravens. The Tornados have done it in style to this point, but will need to bring in some serious players if they are to survive Div 2, whilst at the same time building up their arena to the required level
Rival : Adams Guns
Skyhook Dreamers
The Dreamers won the bot promotion battle last season and are looking to stay in Div 2 to prove they deserve to be there. Led by French u21 starlet they had a perfect 22-0 season. They have added to their inside game in the off season, and have a decent
