There are a lot of talented div3 teams atm... its going to be a scary place soon not only in div2 but in the abbl as well with all these new enthusiastic div3 teams coming thru.

1 human year should do it... that all it takes to get to the abbl.

Well, I'm not one of those talented Div III teams...yet, but I'll be happy enough to be at the pointy end of a Div II league in a human year's time :-)

I too have no ounce of talent, but would like to be in the middle of div 2 in a year's time

yeah, after posting that I thought about the liklihood of being at the 'pointy end' of a Div II; I think somewhere in the 'middle' would be much more realistic.

Yoda sometimes gets to give the ABBL some spotlight. If somehow both Vios and I end up there next season and Sid Vicious is still there, watch out, it will be the most verbose ABBL ever.

I think last season the lucky fish did the division III elevator men as well.

What would be scary I think is that managers will continue to improve..
I remember when I first joined div 3, the champions of season 12 won with fairly small salaries...
Take a look now at the average salary it takes to win a div 3 championship...
Imagine how much it would take in a few seasons time..

It seems like the best strategy to take is to bide your time...save your cash...train your players... then place all your eggs in one basket and make a pounce for the championship in the classic "Win or Bust" move.

Remember I won III.6 with my best player being about $12k although there were teams with much higher salaried players.

unfortunately it was the div II elevator men, had it been div III i might have actually made that list

things are different now though cos of two reasons...

- there are more players, they have instant access to best advice on the forums hence they know what they are doing. Also they are very enthusiastic and ultra competitive by nature.

- and the market crash. You never saw 200k or 300k salaried player in a div3 team back then.

back then a 12k or even a 20k center could cost as much as 1mil. I paid over 1mil each for each of them. 13.5k(2939096), 24k(2214661).

so back in the days it would be a lot harder for a div3 to progress to div1,
now it is a lot easier all thanks to the creators trying to close the gap between the top dogs and newly created teams.

You wont see teams like Direwolf or WA is a dump dominating the abbl for decades and decades no more... its going to get a lot tighter as soon as people start believing in themselves like what whitebeard has done. Only a matter of time before the monkeybizzes, the baxter bogans, the BHB's and newer ones start catching on.

I thought about previewing both of the above games, however decided otherwise. kicking myself now.

Anyway i dont mean to brag but i said the Demons would win by 16 and Monaghan would be big for the Demons, while Echezuría would be big for the Tigers. (42969456) 2 points off, and those boys were the best players for their sides.
