I don't know if you should bother buying to next season mate.
see what happens, see what kind of div2 team ends up on the blue side then assess if you have the coin to be able to compete with them or not, if yuo do, buy up, if not another season of making money wont hurt.

chances are i will buy another trainee if anything :D (or 2)

Chan will be done and dusted with training, maybe 1 more JS pop, but that is about it.. my 2 other guys havent worked out, so as it stands the Frog is my only trainee at the moment...

will hopefully be able to buy a 19-20 year old with similar stats to the frog, and then hopefully draft another guy..

for bigs, i might just have to get a couple of 10kers to stick in the paint to at least play a role... at least avoid relegation :D

Yeah that sounds good mate, it's funny how trainees work.
the occasional foul out or injury and minutes get stuffed, then 1 trainee ends up too far ahead of the others for the others to REALLY fit in with the training program.


If I don't promote..
I will be reducing my salary to the floor limit and start training some new Aus U21 hopefuls maybe guards next time :)
then i will likely buy old players to win thru the relegation finals for a couple seasons. :P

Unlikely, pre season prediction was Ranga to take it out and I think he still will, I don't expect Bains has enough cash floating around to get any further pieces to his arsenal. I do still wish you luck Bains but I do expect a big blue conference final followed by a fizzer GF series... Hopefully BB finds a way to distribute teams a bit better in the future.

Today was a very sad day for the Dreamers...

Today i fired Tibor Dobó. Dobo was the 5th player i ever bougt.. and he has somehow hung around for a long time. at 33, he is not contributing anything, and he no longer has any role on the team.. Enjoy retirement big guy! you earned it, even if it was forced on you...

To Ranga and Bains... pretty happy with my sale today... Matthew Hessell.. you remember him right? I bought him for $3k, and you said i would never get 100k for him :D very tidy little profit on 1 player, for less than 1 season work :D woohoo!

Good effort, sounds like you got his stats a fair way. With his current salary I would assume he had 1 or 2 average stats at most when you drafted him.

he had some respectables, but he had a lot of cross-poppinaton happening when training.. will see what i can get from training history...

Matthew Hessell ↑popped↑ in Outside Def. from strong to proficient .
Matthew Hessell ↑popped↑ in Inside Def. from pitiful to awful .
Matthew Hessell ↑popped↑ in Passing from inept to mediocre .
Matthew Hessell ↑popped↑ in Handling from respectable to strong .
Matthew Hessell ↑popped↑ in Driving from average to respectable .
Matthew Hessell ↑popped↑ in Jump Shot from inept to mediocre .
Jump Range = inept

so not great, but a decent base to work off if you're not pushing for U21! And his Perennial All Star would have helped, if he was any lower, would have gotten nothing.

wow what a rubbish game between me and the Thunder :D glad to get the win and hopefully get some extra fans to next home game!

We are in for an exciting final round!

I cant believe we could snatch 4th if the Hippos beat the Beasts!

Rangas play the Gladiators, what a way to finish the season!!

And of course, anything can happen on the red side!! with 4 teams fighting still for 3rd and 4th!

Happy with my new boy tonite.. played well till he fouled out.. hopefully its not gonna be a problem!
