Cheers, Adamski. Was wondering what you were up to. Now I know. lol Yeah, tanking (while an ugly facet of BB) has become almost a necessity if you want to get out of tougher divisions. I tanked for a season and a half and still feel another season would have been ideal. Tanking sucks but I am reaping some of the rewards at present.

Tanking allowed me to focus on the dynamic duo (Dogan and Rodriguez), build my SF project (Kirch) who is really performing better than hoped; and allowed me to spend a lot of time and effort chatting and researching the type of bigs to make the starting 5 complete.

The result: A team that has gelled beautifully.

Hey, Adamski. Are you sure you want to start tanking? lol Your game tonight (46264842) was an unusual one. He plays the FCP against you and you take him to town for 146 points. Wow! I'm still trying to work out how he managed to do that given he also put more effort into the game. Sure, you had HCA, but only the tactics seemed to make any sense of the final score. A very interesting game. Hmmm.

Seems Top Prides and I are still in the cup... Not sure how I won last week (took it easy and played 2nd string team), but happy with it anyway... Money is always nice.

Looking forward to our clash Matty... Shaping up to be very interesting. Keeping an eye on you and your purchases come the deadline :)

lol

You're looking good, my friend. I, too, am watching your moves closely. I might add that while we are watching each other there are others floating just beneath the radar I believe...

But yes, mate, this is so much more fun than tanking. On paper we match up pretty well. It will be interesting to compare performances on the cross over games against teams we both have played.

Oh...by the way...it's Magick time! lol

On another note, how do they work out country rank? Is that based on tournament performance? I see you are 151 in Aus and I am 50... There is clearly not that much of a gap.

Was looking at the Australian National Team... Good to see my most famous draft pick is still on the team:
(9469661)

He helped me win a fair few games. Ended up costing too much... The curse of getting to Division 2 and not playing well.

I agree. To be honest I'm not sure how they calculate it. I think it is a reflection of league, cup, roster, salaries etc.

Your former boy, Huaizheng, is a monster. I hear you about salaries. I'm worried that if I don't crack Div II this season then my trainees will be too expensive to keep. That would be devastating for my longer term plans.

In other news, had a decent win against hawthornFC tonight. It was the first test to see where I stand in comparison to you and your league. I'm quietly confident. Really looking forward to our clash although the Legends game is before that and they are the dark horse I believe. Got a feeling he's going to throw me a CT. On his court that could hurt. Minf you, I would love to have HCA agaisnt you but alas...you have it...for now! ;P

If I thought you were serious I would take it for sure. But why would you do that? Other than because you're a top bloke!

Awesome work, Kintoc. An ABBL team to boot! You even got the defensive tactics wrong ;)

Great win...which allows me to see your real strengths. So, do tell...CT or Normal? ;-)
