A good write up and certainly a tough division to land in with Avalon Jets, Hadders and Team Akuma with his expensive starting 5.

Give yourself a bit of credit, it wasnt until after spending 4 seasons in our beloved II.3 and my first season in the ABBL that I obtained anywhere near the amount of knowledge that you already have.

What are your plans for this season given the apparrant stranglehold Team Akuma has on promotion?

wow talk about resurrecting an old thread...what are you doing sid lol

and...i would like to reiterate...both you and I are in the same position on the ladder - 8-0. Our PD difference isnt even that big. I don't think I have a stranglehold on this league at all. If anything, I am suspecting you are trying to shift all the heat on me so you can slide under the radar :P

I won't argue that my starting 5 is expensive though. Well really, starting 4. My SF is pretty cheap, but has worked out to be pretty good value for money.

Wow I didnt even realise it was an old thread. I must have been hungover as I actually thought the thread was in the Wombat Federation

Not like me to speak pooiiisssson to try and lull you into a sense of over confidence, mind you the smart thing for me to do would be to sell off a few of my older players, restructure the team and tank after I get another 4 wins

yer nearly a year ago to the day!
Happy birthday to the thread!

I wrote that with retrospect to my first season in Div II. I think i was quite lucky, VictorianMages tanked early and then went bot, Docs Patients pretty much tanked and then went bot, and Stone Slashers tanked, Haggards tanked and went bot,

so yer thats some big name talent pretty much giving up in my first Div II season - was very lucky. in saying that, my boy Alcide finished second in scoring and 3rd in MVP, so yey me.

Yer no offence to TAK, but he is bleeding cash and even if he does keep his team until the final's AND he promotes, then he will be going into the ABBL with an undersized arena and probably a debt, so he really isnt my main concern.
Smart move for him would be to offload his guys post-all-star break, other teams will want them for their finals campaigns and he will get max dollar for them.
which pretty much leaves you or Northcote or MJP to make a move for the finals. And i know who has the most cash out of all 3 of those guys :)

So what are my plans? Not sure at this point, im still sussing out a few options. If i can get past Fashion Victims and his Crunch time on me this week in the cup, then I will have won 3 away games in a row, which is not a bad effort.

If i lose, well.. we shall see.

To be honest I dont think Akuma is bleeding that much money although it had occurred to me the fact that he hadnt expanded his stadium was a sign that he doesnt have millions stashed away.

Things that will knock him is the lack of a gate income during the Allstar week, the loss of 50plus K a week when he gets knocked out of the cup and the annual injury to Duffill when it occurs.

I think he should buy in another 100K player or 2 just to speed up the blood (I mean cash) loss

I think I worked it out that if he had 700K or so in the bank after a financial update and had an injury free season that we'd all be pretty much gone

which pretty much leaves you or Northcote or MJP to make a move for the finals. And i know who has the most cash out of all 3 of those guys :)

Please enlighten us all to who this might be
