Hey guys, thought i'd get the new season thread up and going.

Looks like there's some strong additions again this year with Mangoloids, hopelessly addicted, peaceNroll, Saintstars and Jerries joining the league.

I'm wondering how everyone went in the draft. It seemed like a crap draft and i'm happy i got at least 1 decent 18yo with decent starting salary and superstar potential. However I think SJOD got the pick of the draft with an 18yo pg with mvp potential.

So how did everyone else go in the draft? Any early tips on the favourties for this season? SBV will surely be up there again.

Hi guys. Pleased to be in Div 2 as a small fish in a big pond.

I'll be fighting hard to stay up. Don't think I'll be causing too much toruble for the top teams.

My draft was crap fwiw, but didn't spend a cent.

Looking forward to a tough season.

Likewise. I'll struggle to stay in DIV2.
I only lasted 1 season on both previous visits to DIV2.
Just happy to win a couple of games.

I too didn't get any good draft picks but also didn't spend a cent.
In fact I don't think I've ever had a good draft pick so I stopped wasting money on it.

Far out you picked up an all-time great 18yo and a hall of famer 19yo in the one draft!!!!!

That has got to be the best luck anyone has experienced in a draft. To get one is gold, to get both is priceless.

I bet you it's not ;)
I got (13436463) and (13436509) in the same draft about 4-5 seasons ago :p
Obviously I sold Bogan but I kept Vidas, if I'd decided to train both (which I should have) I would've had 2 absolute beasts from the same draft!

Hi lads, glad to be here as well!

As the other promoting teams I haven't spent a buck in scouting, knowing that I would be among the last to pick.

This league is looking easier than II.1. However I assume I'll still have to fight hard if I wanna stay up here.I believe HA, GT, SVM and MR will dominate our conference. I haven't had a look at the other side yet but I'll do it asap :PI expect a tough season for my team.

Wish I could say that it was good to be back in div 2 but Im going to miss the crowds of the ABBL.

Might have to prune my roster a bit so that I dont have to blow the bank balance

Good luck but not too much luck to all

I've only come up against two of the teams before them being the Jerries and my old mate Eggplantapopolopous

Might I say that the competition looks tougher than what I remember div 2 to be (damn it)

It's good to have you on board mate. I've only been in div II once before and was relegated straight away.
I've spent too many seasons in III.6, which i think is probably the toughest div III league in Aus, before finally being competitive in div II last season. I think this league is possibly deeper this year than last which means there aren't going to be any easy games.

Should make for some interesting tactics and use of attitude. Can't help but feel that SBV is the early favourite though, after getting all the way to the final playoff round last season.

Its certainly going to be tough I don't remember div 2 having so many expensive rosters.

Perhaps in retrospect I set my gate prices too low

Guys I'm going to need to try and bluff you all so that you all lay down against my team. Its about the only chance my teams got
