I'm on. What a 24 hours. Well my last game in the ABBL is over and my season of tanking has gotten me a much bigger arena, Sperbert the SF I always dreamed of (age 26) and Lawrance the PF beyond my dreams (age 25). It also allowed me to train all three of my young stars this season Barton, Kumar and Garrett and if I bounce back Barton will be a starter along with Sperbert and Lawrance so I already have three fifths of my starting ABBL team (if I ever return).

I will have to make a hard decision about trainees early next season with Barton, Kumar, Garrett, Sperbert, Lawrance and hopefully the number one draft pick all getting training in one on one for forwards for a few weeks but then I will have to make a hard, hard decision.

No point in keeping it a secret this draft is rubbish. I have interviewed every single three ball or over 18 year old and there are no five potential guys at all. The best is probably a five ball skill A- four ball potential big man. That could be a $3,500 perennial allstar with multiple atrocious outside skills, exactly what I don't want seeing I have to train Barton my PG for at least two more seasons. There are no guards at all of three to five ball skill with four ball potential, what a crock of rubbish.

Poor Datzilla. With Duffman injured he is clearly the underdog, as Koop said his entire team is designed to work around duffmen. Maybe a last minute rental will help, if he has the money and gets on in time.

At the start of the season who would have thought that the Big 8 would be losing three?

Sid if you think your fans will be unhappy, mine will be furious!

Oh dear. The transfer deadline has passed and DFBS still hasn't logged in to notice that Duffill has been injured.

What a lucky break for Hadders!

Seems very much of character for Datzilla not to log in.

Hope he is okay in real life and that if he is, that he stays okay when he finds out the bad news of the injury

And there we have it...

Who would have thought at the start of the season that both 6th and 7th in the Great 8 would be able to survive.

I wouldn't write DFBS off just yet, he just needs to sneak a win at home in game one, and he should have Duffill back for game 3. Anything can happen yet, but ti did make the relegation series alot more interesting

Wasnt just the start of the season that I was reading posts on how the teams in the relegation zone in the Great 8 would struggle against the huge bank vaults of their likely competition from the Big 8.

Hadders is obviously a quality manager and Datzilla has been cruelled by an injury.

I obviously got lucky with a couple of good acquisitions and sales towards the end of the season and was especially lucky that Shanmag took pity on me.

I expect her, Yoda & Iwen to come back to the ABBL and firmly entrench themselves there.

Datzilla will have a major decision to make about his roster as the salary of Duffman is almost unsustainable in Div 2

Now that the regulation season is over the MVP will be adjudged.

Not that Im biased or anything but Pedrosa has had a consistant season and matched it with players who are paid twice as much.

He probably wont get a vote, so who will win it?

Pretty rare a player outside the playoffs even gets a vote.

Carvalho would probably be favourite I guess

As he hasnt logged on since before saturdays game, Datzilla wont even have a line up set for tonights game.

If he doesn't log on before hand, let's hope he has a standard line up set... which doesn't include Duffill...
