On behalf of the Australian Buzzerbeater Basketball Community I would like to congratulate Possum Pete and his team the Possum Chasers for drafting training both Andrew Garachico and Roosevelt Feaunati , into the initial Season 24 Australian Under 21 team.

Possum Pete is the only Manager in the whole Australian Buzzerbeater community to have more than one player in the current Australian Under 21s team

A full write up of the team can be found at (244355.20) with discussions starting at (244355.1)

Details of;
The free mentoring that is available
Who to talk to if you are interested in training a player into the Under 21s National team
How to access the Australian Offsite forum where the tactics of the team are discussed

Can all be found in the above mentioned thread

Congrats again to Possum Pete

Good write-up! And thus continues the trend of anyone making predictions rating their own squad lower than should be!

I'd love to see a Big 8 team win this time, our conference is like the West - closely competed with lots of contenders - with there being a "Miami" each season in the Great 8 to completely dominate. Only 2 Big 8 teams have won in my 8 seasons here (0 in the last 4 seasons)...

I agree with Coasters looking like favourites, what the hell happened to Metal? They were a Crunch Time away from being Champions, now 0-3?

To answer PossumPete's question, I would be losing money if it weren't for the cup - and I'll be selling players as soon as I exit. My stadium is small because I never get a full-house except during play-offs...

Thanks a lot Sid! I am pretty proud of my boys. Yeah, it was the plan to get them in the team, really glad they both made the cut!

Cheers,

They wouldnt have made it without your vision and dedication

Well done

Have you ever had players in the Aussie under 21s before?

TT - (14843373)

Sniff, was so sad to let him go. Drafted him in season 12, and he was a star of Division iii.6 for me. Had 2 seasons in the U21, glad he is back playing in Australia, after having a tour overseas!

Its sometimes hard to spend the dough on an arena, but it has to be done! Good luck with the cup run, I am confident I can take out my next opponent.

I believe the rating of my side is very fair. The squad is barely above the salary floor, it's not a small squad either. I tried looking to see if I'm rating my squad to low but please, point out a comparison or something lol. My team performed well for their salary last season I thought and even knocked off the Dobies during the year but I think it was more to do with GS, tactics and general team management. If it wasn't for 2-3 possible bots/non commited teams on our side I'd be getting relegated without some real hard work.

Gold Coast Metal(18/3) An unstoppable PF and likely the best player in the competition paired up with a competant centre is a great start but thats it.... Metal could do anything this year, made a careless mistake finals time last year and looked the good with some key signings before the play-offs but missed out in the end. If they purchase some decent guards they'll be a huge threat and potential champions. With the current squad they'll be battling for a spot in the play-offs. Prediction : 6th place in the big 8.

Nice Write-up mate. Good to see some chatter going on in here for a change!
Probably a pretty good prediction there, got myself a new PF trainee and Jurd is almost at NT level which means Next season is the last I'll be able to keep him in div III. Got some decisions to make soon... I got Jurd from the get-go as an MVP 19 yo when I started my team which was awesome. Just looked at his salary for next season lmao 150k at the moment -.-

Also great work PP on having those guys in the U21 mix. Nothing like drafting a player and training him well.

Damn, there goes my hope for the season, totally underestimated the Hell Hounds, silly me. Now Coasters should have it in the bag, Coast it in, so to speak.

Was a tad surprised you lost but the hounds do have some quality in their line up. I pulled a CT but it was against my rival and a TV game so I think it was worth it. Used 2 CT's in the last 3 games so my enthusiasm is kinda disasterous but all things considered a good result. Should go through in my cup game(famous last words), but I'll likely have to throw the next 2 games not that I think I could win either of them. Spewing my PF/C back up got injured for 4 weeks, might have to spend some cash on a temp replacement but I hate spending money lol. :/

Possum Chasers management would like to announce that trademark impulsive purchaser and manager Possum Pete has done it again, throwing caution to the wind to purchase their new geriatric star! That's just how we roll!

I like making you all sweat. More fun that way!! :)
