You should try to tank your first game. May as well save that enthusiasm riiiiiight?

What the Great 8 need is for a team to take on the "Adams Guns" role of tanking for the greater good of all the other teams in that conference.

Would enable all the other battling teams to be able to concentrate on training and banking rather than having to spend the whole season going backwads battling for survival.

Logic suggests that the team to tank, for the greater good of every other team is, Chelsea Seagulls

My reasonings for this is that they are HAs rivals and that they also play HA in TV games

I dont know that you have an understanding of the full concept of Tanking?

First thing that you should be doing is selling off a couple of those expensive players before Saturdays game

Its all for the greater good of the Great 8

I'm surprised the majority have voted for DFBS and HA only has 1 vote.

HA already has a ABBL ready roster and right now I say he has the best squad out of the recent promotees. He is in the weaker Great 8 conference so my bet is that he will be able to finish fairly higher up than a number of teams and have a good chance of staying in ABBL this time around.

DFBS with 5 votes, I really can't see him getting out of the relegation zone in a difficult Big 8 conference. With only iwen confirmed tanking and everyone else with decent rosters, DFBS is still a way behind the next team so unless he has a ton of cash stashed away then it is hard to see him finish above 6th/7th. Looking at a relegation playoff against the other conference.

Obviously thats just my opinion...

yep, I am surprised too! Maybe I just have alot of optimistic fans out there. You are right, Big 8 conference looks to be really tough and after a brief scouting, I see myself coming maybe 7th if Iwen really tank this season.

I'm a man of my word guys, otherwise selling players like McArthur and Dell'Asta just to buy some foreign mercenaries would be crazy....

I fully intend on brining my wrath to division II and III.

I dont see why you need to get to div3. Do they have better draft there?

I need to spend money in II to stay afloat. I'd rather not. Sitting on $20m in Div III will be awesome, and my intention is to hardly use any of it to get back up (except buy some bigs), but primarily using my trained guards.

alright... I guess in div3 you can enjoy bullying the newbies.
