nice pick up there, don't know how he's looking but he's got good potential and he's still very young.

oh and good game there yesterday, got me with less enth and less salary :)

Yeah thanks, I have been looking for a young Aussie to bring through with me, he has some holes but what Jnr doesen't huh.

The game was an interesting one. I see you shifted Burbery around to cover my SF, I was happy that I also moved my SF away and the guy I filled in with actually did an ok job on Burbery. Game Shapes were about the same though so it was fair on that front.

I needed to save my Enth for SammyDog and my Tourney game this week, no doubt Sammy comes out firing to knock me off at his home, and Bongo Players at his home is going to be brutal.

Looks like a couple of the top guys on your side are trying to fly under the radar for a few weeks. They can't be carrying the payrolls to just sit there... could they?

Ok guy's (or guy as it appears this season ;), it getting to the pointy end of the season.

Who's it gonna be commin' out of great red sea?

My money is on Noidya from the Reds. I know Southern Secrets will be tought to beat but Noidya seem to have strength from 1 thru 5. I am picking them to meet you in the GF and trust you will do the Blues proud.

I think you are right about Noidya coming out of the Red side, and yes he is very strong 1 -5, especially after the last purchase up front. There is a few teams on the red side that are very competitive, might come down to HCA in their finals series, which means the finish to the seasons league games is key.

I think as it stands, if I can get into the final, he would prob have too much for me, but the games shouldn't be blow outs. Either way, I plan to do the Blues proud... if I get the opportunity.

It will be a good match up with Noidya but I think you will have the edge with your bigs. I suspect you are managing your Enth slightly better.
Unless one of our Blue colleagues is cashed up and spends big before finals then the Blue side is yours to take. Should be a good battle for positions 2 to 4 though so not clear on who you will face in the conference final.

The bigs will be interesting with his new guy, his G's are pretty special though.

With the fact he was one of the only ones to purchase so far, he looks to be taking it pretty seriously. I think realistically my trainees could do with another good season of training before I look to promote so I won't be breaking the bank to beat him (or anyone who might spend up in the mean time)

Well, after what has seemed like a very long season that has seen a few teams retire and some new blood come in. We are down to the Finals Series.

I think the season started out looking like there was a dominance from the Reds of the Great 8, however, in looking at the final win /loss scores, it looks like the Big 8 Blues have it this season as the more competitive side of the Division. Well done guys for a challenging season to the end.

How about the last play-off spot in the Big 8 finals series being decided in the last game? Hey McFly bumping Wolves Revenge out by 13 points at home with less Enthusiasm after a late 4th quarter push, in a high volume encounter 142 - 129 at the Hill Valley Gymnasium. Hey McFly now face hawkie mammoths away for a shot to land a spot in the Semi Finals. The outcome of this last game also opened the door for Harey Men to take up the last spot for the finals with a convincing win over a still developing team in Richmond Tigers 90 - 58. Good news is they saved Enthusiasm in the game and can now use it in their first round play-off appearance, an away game to No. 1 seed Surry Hills Peeps.

The Great 8 didn't produce any surprises in the finishing spots for the finals campaigns of the top 4 teams. The games from here provide the theater. The favorite Noidya, has suffered 2 injuries to their top 2 players in 2 weeks and still awaits the leagues leading scorer to recover and get back to the court as we speak. Will these injuries and the lowering of Game Shape be enough for Southern Secrets to sneak by with an upset victory in the first round? Or will they possibly be the window needed for be high to squeeze a win out in the Semi Finals after being the top placed team at the end of the regular season? Like I stated, still a bit of theater here to come, not least of all the fact that be high and Southern Secrets could drop out all together and become major No Factors simply by not logging back in... we'll watch with baited breath.

Now we enter the Finals campaign for Season 24, and still there are a few big side stories to play out. Will Be High and Southern Secrets log back in and push their opposition? If they don't, will their Standard Line-ups result in their opposition taking them lightly and ultimately end up losing to them in the 1st or 2nd round? Will we see the favorites from each side of the division make it through? Who will win the relegation series and earn the right to stay in the storied Div 3.12?

Good luck all, and thanks to everyone that contributed to the forum this season.

Well the first rounds of the finals have been decided as well as game 1 of the relegation series.

be high took out Tradies in a powerful and not too unexpected display 115 - 57
Southern Secrets fell to my pick as the favorite Noidya in a close game after leading for a great portion of the game 103 - 96
my favorite team, Surry Hills romped home against a gallant Harey Men 104 - 68
and to round out the finals hawkie mammoths went neck and neck to outlast Hey McFly 101 - 91

The relegation games were opened by two convincing wins to the Mighty Blues;
Hansbroughs Hurricanes over Aussie Thunder 130 - 90 and
Toonie Purple Cobras really over The Shotblockers 120 - 39

Conference Finals open on Saturday night with Be High hosting Noidya, which is looking like the game of the season now that be high has logged back in from a 6 week MIA, GS are pretty even, Enth is even, hopefully Noidya has his league leading scorer back from injury with enough GS to make a difference, will either team CT to assure the win?
At the same time Surry Hills Peeps will play host to hawkie mammoths in a match that will almost certainly see mammoths CT for survival, the Peeps should be ok with this as they have had more Enth played against them in every game this season and have become game hardened to such tactics.

Saturday night also brings the 2nd of the relegation match ups at the same time. Will the mighty blues close it out in 2, or will the Reds show some fight and take them to 3?

Tune in guys!

If you miss the games, check here on Monday to get the wrap.

I wondered if be high would do that. Seems to be a manager that keeps a low profile and would mark the diary so the team doesn't BOTify. Probably wont log in for another 5 weeks now.

I think Be High is addicted to wearing pink... he's always the bridesmaid and never the bride.
Since season 15 or something when I got into III.12 he has been finishing between 1st and 3rd every season since.
