All quiet in II.3?

Anyone broken the $769,979 a week record for div 2 players salaries?

Looks like all the action is happenning in the ABBL

I suggest you ask again in 10 days and you may get a very different answer.

Are you going to give the record a shake yourself?

I now know the long term ramifications of such a tactic

Struggling to comprehend that Beechy might be relegating.

Absolute institution of the league and a Manager who I have always respected and feared.

I agree, but he decided that his team was going to struggle to promote and that even if it did it wouldn't have a great future in the ABBL. Short term loss for a great long term gain. I wish him well, he could always beat me every single time we played and yet when I looked at his players that were sold they were nothing special and mine were better than his in almost every way - however there was still the Shortall factor.

High quality small forwards are not all that common in div 2.

Agree he'd have a roster worth bugger all, yet win games against what appeared on paper to be better opponnents.

Surprised he didnt get some 18 year olds with some decent potential to train up.

Very unlucky that he never got a promotion to the ABBL with so many near misses.

If I hadnt of rolled the dice a couple of seasons ago I would still have been top 4 without really threatening.

Game is easier now because of those hard lessons learned in the ABBL

Smeltz may have stuffed up not sticking to his original strategy of all out tanking

Beechy is every chance to roll me this weekend, given my epic fourth quarter against you yoda. Ball is in phoenix's court though. One win and he is safe... Until relegation series anyway.

On a brighter note, who will be MVP?

After such a close game and you know I greatly respect your team, a 28-5 rout was a (pleasant) surprise to me too.

For Beechy not to auto-relegate he needs to go 3-0 while one of Steves Crocs or Phoenix 5 goes 0-3. Not impossible but it would be impressive.

Brilliant strategic move or massive financial blunder. I will let you know in four weeks.

Ka-pow! And you made 20k too!
Will see what the playoffs brings I guess. Who will play the next trade card I wonder?
