Well, it's only 1.67m!


Thats an interesting challenge

When you think about it though thats only 4 x 400K players

HA is on the verge of setting another record though

Season 18 is the 17th season of the ABBL and in all those seasons there has only been one team which has entered a relegation series with a positive points difference.

That team is the Bell Park Super Cats who had a 17 positive point difference in season 6 and a 14 positive point difference in season 17.

All other teams who have contested in relegation series games have had negative points differences for the regular seasons

As long as HA doesnt lose by more than 48 points against BHB in the final game, it will have the distinction of being the team with the highest positive point difference to play in a relegation series in the ABBL.

As much as anything this could be evidence that Ive underperformed with an okay team

Poor Datzilla,

Cruelled by an injury to Duffman, he has gone from a warm favourite to underdog in the relegation series against Hadders.

Yes he could buy a rent beast reasonably cheaply to "fill in" but he hasnt been on line since Friday therefore one can assume that as yet he doesnt even know his predicament with Duffman being injured.

No doubt it will be an interesting day on the transfer market as teams look at last minute opportunities to bolster their chances in upcoming finals and relegation games.

Mllama with his recent1.65mill acquisition of a 158K a week PF, certainly looks to be having a red hot go this season

Just occurred to me that if Hadders does triumph over Datzilla and HA is lucky enough to win over Zazz, it will mean that only Yodas team will be relegated from the Great 8.

HA and inparticular Hadders who have both had ABBL experience prior to this season, should be stronger next season which might turn the Great 8 into a virtual "conference of death" for which ever of the 4 teams is promoted into it.

This possible strengthening of the Great 8, could also have implications for the more established teams in the conference as well, with regards as to how they should approach the season.

This ofcourse is all hypothetical and if Shanmag and Datzilla get active on the transfer market today, it may not occur

meh.. I think Zazz has already conceded with the sale of Gary Lawrance.
And I think Datzilla is going to miss Duffman dearly, it will cost him the relegation series.

If only Yodabig tried harder to get that 7th spot, he would've had a chance to survive the ABBL.
Ohh well at least he can go back to Div2 with one of the best aussie PF in the game.

Since the relegation series have been outlayed, now comes the other half of the draw...

mllama with HCA and a new 158k PF or Direwolf with his all aussie NT backcourt.
WA is a Dump or Whitebeard.

I predict the ABBL championship will go to either mllama or Direwolf.

In time Yoda maybe the big winner with the mountain of cash he has banked from this season.

The threat of Zazz has impacted on my forward planning and training but I will be very relieved if Shanmag does not make a last minute market raid.

Actually feel sorry for Datzilla, he is probably blind to the fact that the Duffman is injured and for all we know could be sitting on funds that would have allowed him to rent a fill in beast.

Im very concerned about the new season player salaries calculations, will I be able afford to keep the core of the roster that I currently have?

One calculator had one of my players jumping by about 60K per week

Frankly, I think the teams are relatively evenly matched, but HCA is against us big 8ers, so reckon whoever makes it from our side will struggle to take out the finals

Happy to be wrong though

What was the reason for selling Gary Lawrance?

I'll be tanking and training so it was a waste having him on my roster.

goodluck and hope you come back to the abbl asap.
