G'day chaps....

I'm glad to have fallen into such a prestigious Div III.
Many ABBL teams have come from here, and I would probably like to be the next in line for that accolade.

I wish you all luck for the season ahead, but at the same time I hope to beat you all. :D

Hopefully there are a few of you that are active on the forums to keep the interest up.

Cheers.

Hi guys, this is my first season in Div 3, hoping for a fun season!

And nice to see a Archer fan , i love that show

G'day mate, and welcome to Div III

I really like your trainees there, Is your plan to continue training the SG's?
I'm training a future NT worthy SF in Aslam. So here's a tip for everyone, my weak position will be C. ;)

Really look forward to the competition and who knows Hysteria416, might be you and me facing off for promotion. ;)

Wow......
Great to have you both in the league guys and I sure hope the two of you are quite chatty, most of the human controlled teams are mutes here with very little to say which is incredibly sad because the banter and chat really make a huge difference to my enthusiasm for the game at least. Missed out last game in the final, tbh it's really my fault and if I just spent a bit of money I may have made the cut. My damn tight arseness cost me promotion but even so we're healthy financially wise, a decent stadium and some young players starting to approach their peak. Anyways enough of the rambling and good luck to all.

Thanks for such a warm welcome mate.

I was in Div III.12 a few seasons ago (before hitting Div 2) and It was one of the 2 most active div 3 forums around.
I got really used to it and it's the same in Div 2.
Lots of chatter, banter and even some sensible conversations... I KNOW RIGHT!?!?!?

So yeah I'm hoping we can keep this forum going.
Maybe a few other managers will chime in if we make it look like we're having fun *splashes around* weeeeeee this is amaaazing.

Targess, you look like you might be the team to beat from the red side?
I'd like to hear your take on the league as a whole. I have done some research already and bouncing back to div 2 isn't going to be AS cheap as I first hoped. I may need to buy another piece to complete this little puzzle.
My main focus is training and if it's going to be too costly to promote this season, I'd rather wait it out and dominate next season. ;)

No worries mate, not alot of time on my hands but a quick run down on the teams and their chances and a brief. :P
I'll list each side with my own estimate or team rating in brackets afterwards.
Lakes(20) Guards are peaking on potential and will be very dangerous with improvement to come. Team still very much on the young side. Have some solid back up players as well. Would have to be a strong fave at this point.(Not being biased lol)
Millers(19) Better players on the old side, very strong guards and a definate threat this year. Decent back ups.
Balwyn(19) Been here since season 7 and are most definetly the veterans. Team is on the old side and they'll depend heavily on their SG. Contender.
Ants(18) Few old donkeys there, decent young gun though. Some dangerous looking talls. Contender.
Adelaide(18) Strong bigman department but the list aging. Been here awhile as well but will be a threat. Contender.
Myteam (16) Better players are on the old side, not sure what the manager is up to, maybe saving? With a decent signing or two and they could be a contender.
Smokin(16) They have a monster big man but not much else of note. They won't want him getting injured.
GCM(15) My long time rivals but the gentleman never has any words unfortunetly :(. Golden oldies in the side but a signing could make them a dark horse.
Salisbury(14) Again, the better players are old with not much else talent wise. Think they're saving.
Saiyans(13) Some good young players, very balanced side. Seems to building a side for the future, might cause the odd upset.
Kim Jong(13) Fairly average side all over with some decent guards.
Red Hill (13) Talented youngsters with potential, starters are getting old but if he trains those youngsters well he has a lot to look forward too.
Bullets(11) Average side new to the division. Heaps of potential though.
Burgos(9) Lots of younsters, will struggle to stay up.
Gangsters(9) Veterans of the game. very patriotic it seems, squad is low on current ability though. Might struggle to stay up.
Goats(7) No idea. Wooden spoon faves?

Well there you have it, might run down so far. lol

Oooh goody, I like being the underdog. ;)


Thanks for the write up. I guess I had myself ahead of Balwyn and Millers as I know my players skills.
But I don't know theirs and I don't know anyone elses bank roll.

Ooops and the landscape changes with the purchase of Ty Raftery, the aussie veteran. :)

Rofl, well that makes a difference and yes I do know a bit about individual player strengths and weakness from most of the starters with about 8 teams but I can't give up all the knowledge(really isn't that much, play way to many browser games to devote to much time on one).

I'd give your side maybe a rating of 21 or 22 now, most certainly the fave now as it stands barring injuries, GS etc. I'll have to make a purchase or two this season. Really didn't want to, but if I want to have a chance at promotion it seems a formality.

Funny thing is, I put that bid on Ty days ago and had completely forgot about it. Woke up this morning and hey, new SG. and he's a bad ass. :)

From here on out I will probably look at replacing my bench players with actual players and not just cheapo scrubs.


Can't wait for the season to start up and get this show on the road. :)
