Hey folks of III.12 :)
So I promoted into III.8
It's super boring here.

Good news is, without buying anything I'm almost guaranteed to be 4 - 0 after this week.
The other good news is, I'm like to finish top of my conference without really trying too hard.
Definitely wont be promoting as CARLTON SUNS are nicely balanced and the Flaming Ramzays are super strong at C/SG


I wish I could have promoted into III.12 to make things socially interesting, but noone is alive where I am. :(

Good luck to everyone. :)

hahahah true that!
It's hell to get out of unless you want to go straight down... where the water is very... hard to drink!


good work to Kingarthur though, must be nice to promote to a league where you are a shoe-in to finish top 1-4, looks like you'll finish first for the blue side tho.
Dude you should join the Wombat federation, you have supporter and some good trainees.

Soon tanking out will be harder than winning this league

Nah, probably a bad comment. Just that we keep getting the bouncing Div 2 teams - Mango, Vis and now you. Which takes deep pockets to promote against. We might have a mass tank on our hands or is it just me contemplating that? I'd hate repromoting from D4 back to III.12 though

Ah ok. Mass tank works in some ways. I can just see loads of teams around "saving up". I'm not sure if I like that the game promotes that too much. In reality, too many seasons of "saving up" will actually put the team out of pocket.

From my observation, I don't think there is too many more teams tanking or saving up, a whole bunch of teams on the red side were doing it all of last season, and a few before that. I think we might just have a few on the blue joining them this season, this has created a bit of a lull.

Maybe everyone will save and then make a decision after the All-Star game to either invest in and draft high or buy up and compete.

I think on the most part, most of the teams don't have a definitive strategy for the season that they are hard at executing... am I wrong?

A few teams lately have promoted on the back of some dosh and a bought team, I don't think the majority of their teams were balanced enough to compete in Div II, certainly without a 20 000 seat stadium minimum, you would struggle to payroll even a team to hold 4th or 5th, less, contend.

It sounds like you're saying that it's been happening for a while, which is what I said.

Some people have some weird ways of tanking...

Yeah, I think your view is correct.

As far as the weird ways of tanking. Like I said, I think it comes from no solid plan, which leaves them conflicted. by the time they decide, their half assing has cost them...

I agree with what you're saying about actual strategies.

It's my experience and, I think everyone would agree, that the teams that promote from this league are run by some of the better managers in this game. And yes, I am including myself in that list.
