a few things to note
battlers and slam ! at the top both have a $300k player that inflates their bills a lot hard to see they are getting the same value for their 500k+ wages as teams like monkeybiz and glenelg are for their just over 300k
a few teams have been wrecked by bad luck, long cup runs and injuries to not get great value for their high wages like supergoal, steves crocs and razzle dazzles
on the other hand some teams have made amazing progress with very small rosters, moosa has been amazing with 10 wins and a very cheap roster, but also nevade saucers, karmar and victoria mages have produced very well for what they are paying
bluetongues got their 8 wins with a very expensive roster probably around the 500k mark before they sold everyone

finally the leagues table
div total wages for all teams
2/1 5348
2/2 4487
2/3 4175
2/4 4190

you should divide them into leagues since moosa's roster is the league average in our league... so you can see the results better...

we have a cheap D2 league :p SAS with the highest salary due to Smeltz...

end of season so time for another fishy survey

this is a d2 survey only so if you are in other leagues it may be boring

who is the youngest teams in d2 this season past?

Youngest D2 Teams Started Round Last season Wins
Slam ! 11 Really season 12 II.4 16
Gold Nuggets 11 R8 II.3 4
Viral Infections 11 R1 II.4 14
Nevada Saucers 10 Really season 11 II.2 11
All-Sorts 10 R22 II.3 10
West Island Tigers 10 R17 II.4 9
Melbourne Goldfish 10 R4 II.1 12
Chelsea Seagulls 10 R2 II.3 15


amazing out of all the aussie teams of the past seasons 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 there are just 8 in d2, but of those 8 3 did really well, slam ! the youngest team in d2 made it to the semifinals as did the chelsea seagulls who also had the best record in the big 8 and viral infections and us made it to the playoffs

best D2 teams

really hard to define but we are going with bbstats max stat rating - so who is the best?

Team Started Last season Wins BBstats
hopelessly addicted 6 II.3 15 146
Slam ! 11 II.4 16 146
Monkey Business 9 II.2 20 141

adams guns 8 ABBL II.4 18 131
Chelsea Seagulls 10 II.3 15 130
Yarra Park Bears 3 ABBL II.1 12 130

interesting to see slam, viral infections and chelsea seagulls feature again

but there are 3 clear standout teams in hopelessly addicted, Slam ! and Monkey Business

hopelessly addicted and Monkey Business won their championships but Slam ! ran into adams guns and couldnt hang on and win

interesting to see how low on the pecking ourer the other two champs were in adams guns and Kynlala Knights who maybe wasnt so all over the Cowboys From Hell as everyone thought

finally the best rated teams

yeah ratings are bad and ill show you some reasons why in a sec but here they are

Monkey Business 9 II.2 20 8
adams guns 8 ABBL II.4 18 9
Zazzocalypse 7 II.2 18 11
Snuffies 5 ABBL II.1 16 12
CROCKERS 8 II.4 16 15
High School Drop-outs 4 II.4 18 16
Kynlala Knights 9 II.1 19 18
Hadders Heros 3 ABBL II.4 15 20
Beechy 8 II.3 15 22
Lara Giants 4 ABBL II.2 15 23
The Meateors 5 ABBL II.1 11 24
Chelsea Seagulls 10 II.3 15 25
Cowboys From Hell 9 II.1 16 27
hopelessly addicted 6 II.3 15 28
Glenelg Tigers 6 II.2 18 29
DownUnder Thunder 6 II.1 11 30
Stone Slashers 9 II.3 10 31
Steves Crocs 2 ABBL II.1 7 32
Haggards 5 ABBL II.3 15 33
Western Titans 8 II.4 12 34
Super Goal 3 II.2 9 37
Downboys 4 II.3 12 39
Drunken All-Stars 6 II.2 16 40
Melbourne Goldfish 10 II.1 12 41

yeah i went down to #41 so my team would show up :)

example #1 of why the ratings suck - steves crocks won 7 games and got relegated - #32 in oz?
example #2 meateors won 11 games - does that sound like #24 and supergoals 9 wins was good enough for #37 in oz - then how come nevade saucers also won 11 games and are #95 or viral infections who won 14 games are down on #72 and moosas mad men won 15 games to be only #61, 10 places out could make sense but 70?


ok hope someone is interested

Bbstats rating is a weird one. This season I pretty much wiped the floor against some of the higher 'rated' teams in either the league, playoffs or private league.

Even the Cowboys at the same rating I beat him convincingly 3 times this season by around 20.

I think im being penalized for having no depth! Starter for starter I think my team is up there... After that... XD

Doesn't matter though, got some fantastic promoting teams this season!

thanks for doing all that mate, really interesting!
im just wondering for the bbstats ratings, wld it be heavily influenced for the teams like HA who bought 1 or 2 monsters with huge salaries just for the PO's??

The 6th youngest team in divi2? Grouse. Were also probably the 6th worst. But you missed one thing we made it to the playoffs too even with our crap Country Rank: 96 - don't reckon there was a worse team in the playoffs.
