I've had 2 quiet seasons - went down, then back up - this has been great. We had only 5 posts in the league forum for all of last season, so thanks everyone for keeping the chat going (sorry for not contributing more!).

let the fun being :)

going to have to pick our battles in the run home.

And it has started, Greeno just purchased a $70k PG to assist his team in avoiding relegation. I wouldn't want to be in a relegation game in the Great 8 this season!

I went straight from the forums to the transfer market. Have been hunting and missing out for the last 2 weeks, but didn't want to wait too much longer. got lucky.

I wonder who will fire the next player transfer shot? Some teams are sitting on some big money I think. The hard thing is to keep the long term plans in check, whilst staying up and not having too much of an aging squad next season if you do stay up.

An aging squad is the best type of squad to have.

My team is too old :(

It does suck when by far your best player is 32 so at least...oops Underwood...but at least all of your top three players aren't 32...oops Wsol and Reichensperger. I hope Josep is training fast.

Greeno you have suddenly got a really scary roster. 70k PG, 35-40k at all other positions. You should be able to win a lot with that roster. I think tremmel will be in trouble tonight but I still think the Stone Slashers will have you on Saturday. We will see. I guess the really big one is against the Crocs on TV on Tuesday, that one could be huge for the final positioning.

My roster is still 2-3 players away from where it needs to be, but at least we are on the right path now. But staying up will be the test.

I am no chance against stone slashers, and some chance against Crocs but I have never beaten him - he is my bogey team (like you used to be Haggard!).

Crocs v phoenix tonight should be a cracker too.

The top 3 are so close it's scary in this league. the bottom 5 are also evenly matched.

i will stop typing now as I'm getting too nervous thinking about it!

Couple of big purchases to round out the season there Greeno. Sitting at 4th spot, reckon you will be making those guys above you a little nervous now. Poor Moosa has got his work cut out to jump you and make finals now. Looks like Crocs & P5 will be a certainty for relegation games now.

Yes that roster looks darn scary now I would hate to be one of the teams in his side of the draw for whom every single game and PD is completly critical.

Doh!

Thanks for tracking my progress all. Would love to avoid scrutiny right now, but i guess buying a 70K PG doesn't help that!

The story of the second purchase is one of desperation - had to make an emergency big man purchase before the economic update (and before playing Crocs on Tuesday) due to 2 injuries to 2 of my best 3 big guys. Things are looking a little less drastic now than they were on Saturday night.

Had I got the bloke i missed out on (Shaun Mueller, ex-Lewisham Wombats C) it would have been superb, but it wasn't to be.

This big is more than capable, but Mueller is a 56K C with great secondaries - alas playing somewhere in Poland now. Damn it!

but a bit of big man insurance will be handy for the battles ahead and not to mention taking up some valuable minutes for gameshape purposes. Crocs usually schools me inside, and schools me in general, so will see what tomorrow brings.

I almost pulled off the win on Satruday - Canpolat hit a 3 to tie the game with 11sec remaining. Then I got smashed in OT. Watch out for Slashers SF Di Marco. Can play a bit. I should have payed more attention to him!

Well played Slashers.

Too early to make any ladder predictions yet...all have good rosters and can beat anyone on their day. nervous times...

Hmmm Hags and i have the exact same wins and PD. I still have the bottom 3 teams to play though so hopefully i can get some big wins.

Hags still has to play Vios, Lordy and All-Sorts. Couldn't get much worse. The last two are away, he also has to play Vios on TV so Vios may try harder to win. No walk in the park for him.
