Hey all,

so no one has put anything up for a while now so thought id get everyone talking again. What everyone been up to? Iv come to the conclusion my team is shitter than i actually thought. For the last few seasons iv tried just getting guys with more offesnse than defense, and she hasnt been working or me. So im in the process of changing my whole team around. Im going back to the defense minded team that got me so far when i first started.

Whats everyones thoughts on this. Do you guys prefer offense, defense or even teams?

Iv also been pretty lazy lately getting rid of all my old guys so in the process of getting rid of them as well. Also, thought id be honest, i dont have that much money. I just thought that i could possibly scare some of you guys out of going for promotion thinking that i would have an easier run at the title. Haha. worked on a couple of ya, but go for it. Gotta love the mind games in sport, trying to maniuplate people into stuff to help you out.

My favourite one was back in the season 14 finals series. I bluffed 'Beernuts' by playing low post with some of my players in dif positions to make him think i was an easy win, whilst playing an outside game all year. Then the next 2 games i kept playing low post with him thinking that i was going to play an outside game. With me defeating him in OT in the TB putting me into Div II.

Have you guys done anything like this? Whats your best story?

Ive always been in favour of a defensive first unit with offensive second unit to chip in some points

When I was in div 4 we had a real arrogant bloke who went undefeated fo the season but little did he know that I had been training my centre at small forward and I flogged him by 40+ in the GF

Yeah paying a guy 174,000 a week for 13PPG didnt make much sense

He should have a bit of money up his sleeve now

Hey guys,

What the hell happened in my last game?? In the actual game I won by over 100 points, playing against 4 lucky fans that played the entire 48 minutes. But I had 2 guys that were could out 8 minutes into the 1st quarter (6 minutes for one of them). Another 2 were sitting on 5 fouls. Only 1 of my guys finished with less than 2 fouls! Add to this they only scored 30ish points, with the majority coming from free throws!

What the hell happened?

The team you played against didn't field enough players. Both teams must list at least 3 players for a game to work. If one of the teams lists less than 3 players, then it is a forfeit. The team you played only listed 1 player. Therefore, you won by 25-0 because of the forfeit.

Crazy stuff goes on when managers give up on their teams..


What happened the The Unbeatables, all their players are listed as ineligible for playoffs?

it is saying that because he has put all of his players up for sale and if someone else bought them then they wouldnt be able to play for their side in the playoffs.

On the upside, it gives the lower teams the opportunity to see what some of the players from a higher ranked Div III look like and what they need.

Yeah they still run the match because you can still receive injuries, even in a forfeit. The reason they still run the match is to prevent people from throwing matches on purpose to help friends. And also, the reason they restrict the score to 25-0 is because otherwise it lets you gain and unfair advantage in terms of point difference.
