My 12 point loss to Hags was misleading. Was down by 23 at 3 quarter time but when his starters sat it bought the margin closer. His outside guys Law, Cima and Phillips dominated scoring 84 of 107 points. Need to improve my OD through training/transfer market if i hope to challenge for the title.

i found the missing piece for my title run last season was a defensive SF, someone with say marv OD/strong ID is very effective for div II purposes

I'm training SF so i'm not that worried about that position. A good defensive/passing PG is really what i need.

Well I lost by 9 to Moosa but it was an away game, he put more effort in than me and I had my trainee in for 48 minutes at PG where he doesn't play well and he got a 8.0 rating, the lowest on my team. So while a loss on your record is always bad, with a healthy team I feel like I can match it up well with Moosa.

Hobos have sold their whole team and are heading for the salary floor. They plan to train, train and train this season. I guess if they see the chance for a late season run they may be back, but otherwise there are two free wins for everyone in the Great 8.

Beechy just spent $600,000 on an 18 year old trainee and sold some of their power players from last season so it looks like they may be regrouping for a season as well.

At this stage it is looking like Haggards, All-Sorts and Violators from the Great 8, Stone Slashers, the tricky Mages and Moosa from the Big 8. I have Beechy next and will be looking to put all those games of pain and humiliation finally behind me.

Just in case anyone is wondering how Fanny did with his firesale here are the details.

He made a total of about $1,500,000, he has his $500,000 promotion bonus and should make a profit of at least $200,000 a week over the next 13 giving him at least $4,500,000 at the end of the season. He will also be able to train his trainees out of position with no worries. Nice work.

However did he make off like a bandit?

Marnix Verhoeven Sold Wichita State Shockers 7/30/2011 $ 385 300
Marnix Verhoeven Bought HoopBoys 9/13/2010 $ 1 000 400

Ramón Ismael Angel Sold impossible team 7/30/2011 $ 100 000
Ramón Ismael Angel Bought Tau Treviso 5/12/2009 $ 134 900
Wow two years. We wont count that loss, he has gotten great service there.

Jorge Iracusta Sold Knicktardeder 7/30/2011 $ 437 600
Jorge Iracusta Bought Durex Lubricants 9/15/2010 $ 1 200 000
A tidy $800,000 loss but the market is down a lot since then.

Gianfranco Petrillo Sold Freccianera 7/30/2011 $ 70 400
Gianfranco Petrillo Bought fronter 8/7/2010 $ 629 882
Loss of $550,000 there hurts.

Gert Jomm Sold wagbur 7/30/2011 $ 432 500
Gert Jomm Bought Free Agent 12/1/2010 $ 900 000
Another $450,000 loss.

Vittorio Leone Sold Bank BPS Basket Kwidzyn 7/30/2011 $ 249 000
Vittorio Leone Bought bc wiebelskirchen 2/13/2011 $ 700 000
A much more recent $450,000 loss.

So overall he made a total loss of nearly $3,000,000. Not that great of a day but a lot of these players were from 2010 when the prices for players were much higher in general.

I dont think we can disregard aussie from the picture in the G8 but my money is on Hags.

Hey dudes.
I will most definitely be out of the running this season and probably the next couple after that as well.
Time to smash the stadium upgrades and train up some future guns to help out Shortall.

Evening everybody. Just enjoying a little sun in Fiji but I have found some time to catch up with the latest on the forum. I would count me out for this season as well. I will be aiming to be 5th or better but I have a big season of arena upgrades and training on the cards.

Yoda I agree that you have my measure.

Well it was actually a beautiful sunny day in Melbourne, I went for a bike ride in the sunshine. The irony is I have your measure, but you won.

hahaha did all the work for me!!!
If you were a guppy you would have known my plans before but you should have picked up on this after being put in the North!
IDC about the sales they dud old mofos haha. Except Ramon who was amazing to me. I am under the salary floor so maybe should have kept him?

Is this a case of double hahaha"?"

I did know your plans but I was told to keep them secret which I did until now when you have revealed them. I keep my word.

Yes it is a pity to see someone who has served you so well and so cheaply for so long go for so little.
