I was critised by several of the ABBL coaches last season for promoting before the team was ready

And to them i would have said get stuffed lol!

You blokes are paying no respect to Drunken All Stars.

Ahhhh I paid respect. Tremell is very respectful....

I didn't realise til a few weeks ago that DAS has such a small arena though so any success he has is well earned imo cause it mustn't be easy!

Dont want to sound disrespectful but I think DAS will struggle unless he/she have a rework of the roster and fix up the problems they have with their gate receipts

Yes they have had 700k net of sales recently but it must be a challenge to be losing so much (around 100K) financially each week

2 outstanding performances this week with impressive wins from SBV and HA. What a good overall balance in depth from both teams!

On another note, I wonder what the Saintstars are doing. It seems like they are not tanking and I doubt they have a good business with their rather average sized arena. However they look weak at the moment and I'm afraid they'll be left behind if they don't bring in a couple of franchise players or if they can't cope better with their game shape.

This saturday's surprise came from the Egg who whiped the floor against GT, giving them a first loss. Well, GT are still one of our top teams.

Finally, are you sure that DAS loses so much money? I haven't done the math but I see expensive seats and people tend to attend his games. Although he has already been knocked out of the cup, I think he can afford his 466k roster depending on his staff wages.

PS: Enjoy the business lessons by Ezlife! Start with 150k, buy a 35yo prick that you gonna sell for 3x more and then buy a 100k 25yo superstar that you can train (with the money from the sale of the old fart!) --> lmao

Yay i won a game*



























*by default :-p

Lots of criticism I copped.

These posts are about 5 or 6 pages from the end of seasons 16 forum in the ABBL


181476.229 181476.232 181476.234 and this one from Dire 181476.237 181476.248

The purists in the ABBL gave me a bit of stick

Lots of criticism I copped.

It was constructive criticism :D

Pointing out to you that you could have done things a lot more smartly. :)

The 300k C ruined your season and if you had sold him from day one, you would be sitting on a big pile of cash right now in D2.

There was some validity in that advise which was a lesson learned.

Could of tanked the whole season rather than trying to stay up and by doing so winning 6 games and being half competitive

However there was still the jibe that I shouldnt have had my team in the ABBL because they didnt belong there and that the only reason they made it there was I stooped to a win at all costs mentality where by I brought a couple of players rather than training a team up

I think the message from the purists was that div 2 teams shouldnt aspire and use a win at all costs mentality to making it to the ABBL and by doing so, dirtying it with their presence. Instead they should wallow in div 2 indefinately until they can be deemed truly worthy

ok by request im here to translate another of my fellow homies posts.

so here goes.

hi my friends

was all lookin good for the big cup game but then my friend choo choo when n hurt fred . why u wanna go do that for mate ? that f'ed me all up for my big game with u sid , no fred , no win. that bad player rahman was owned 4 pts in 38 mins - thats where i lost it right there.

so rahman is history , im going to sell his sabotaging arse, he is not a player he is a failure.

so the good times are ove got sbv, got ha got no cup winning monies , choo choo , u ruined my chances.

but lots of praise for the kind words everyone , im still in the game. sbv,das,ha or gt is going to win it , but ill give it my best shot, u never know what will happen.

im making money , still training , still being me so why not take a shot ?


and there you have it another translation of yet another gold post by my brother from another mother.

keep it real

Could of tanked the whole season rather than trying to stay up and by doing so winning 6 games and being half competitive

As explained earlier, this was what ruined you. You weren't gonna make it out of 8th and wasted so much more money on salaries when you could of tanked and had a tonne of cash back in D2

However there was still the jibe that I shouldnt have had my team in the ABBL because they didnt belong there and that the only reason they made it there was I stooped to a win at all costs mentality where by I brought a couple of players rather than training a team up

Being in the higher league is always more favourable than the one below as coming 8th in ABBL is far better financial wise than coming first in D2. Kudos to you that you managed to get to the ABBL by buying 2 massive players just before the playoffs to get you to ABBL. Once in the ABBL though, it was clear you couldn't maintain the players to compete with the rest of the teams there. This leads back to my main point that you should have tanked from day one :)

I think the message from the purists was that div 2 teams shouldnt aspire and use a win at all costs mentality to making it to the ABBL and by doing so, dirtying it with their presence. Instead they should wallow in div 2 indefinately until they can be deemed truly worthy

I don't believe this is true. I have always had a winning mentality rather than one focused on training. However, where you fell short was that even your normal strongest lineup was clearly a fair bit off from the rest of the teams. A lot of the stronger D2 teams were already beating the lower tier ABBLers when they promoted (e.g Me + Iwen in promoting season and Shanmag last season). However, this is no fault of your own where you came from a weaker D2 league when you promoted where your roster was superior to your D2 league counterparts but would not have matched up well against the other D2 promotee's rosters.
