Australian Premier League XIII

[Biggy]

Well, well, well. We are into the grand finale. No one saw Newcastle coming did they. Well with only 2 teams remaining it is time to sign next season contracts. Would all please send me a PM listing your squad with an * next to players you will be releasing (Melbourne and Newcastle may wait until after the season if need be).

Damn, a disappointing lose, oh well, it was expected.

@Biggy: I think you should slow down a tad. I was a bit annoyed when I saw my game posted and immediately realised that I'd lost because you didn't send me a VM, which you always do about five minutes after the game. So next season, take it slow, especially in the finals

Well I haven't been sending them 5 minutes after each game but I know what you mean. I know this season was a bit rushed but I was just pleased to get the APL back up and running and was really eager to get through the season. The reason I do send VM's though is that owners usually come online 3 and four times and then forget to post a line up for days. This season I had to send some owners 2 or 3 VM's repeatedly each round when I knew they had been online and ignored each one. That's why next season I will send 1 at the start of a round, have a time limit (a few days), then fines will be implemented (a deduction of prize money, and if a pattern occurs teams will lose standings points). Next season will have a lot of new features and will definitely not be slowed down. Thanks for your feedback, but it has been on my mind.

I would recommend releasing players just to keep things rotating and fresh. Should there be a set number to release? Like 2 Nats and 3 locals? Then you have the option of releasing more if need be?

Why not make it so each team has to release a set number of players? Then we have a draft, with the teams that did the worst getting the earliest draft picks and vice versa.

This way, each team will have its good seasons, bad season, etc. Not just Melbourne winning every year, etc.

^This, Biggy!

Yeah, I'm thinking 4 or 5 locals, 3 nats?

That'll test bcvs with Gayle, de Villiers, Ryder, Malinga, Roach, Taylor etc.

Ans yes, I had considered having a draft order next season, 12th-1st (based on this seasons standings).

Tbh I would prefer if we dont have to release any players. I am perfectly happy with my combination and I would release only like 2 or 3 players...
We cant have drafts every season or so, it becomes too hectic for everyone involved. Make it this way, that the max. players you can keep is 15 or so

The thing is though that it will become boring if everyone is just releasing their dud Aussie's and a few nats who probably only got a game or two. Then you'll just have the same group of players released every season. I am undecided but I will be enforcing a player cap.

I think the speed of the matches being posted has been great.
Thanks for a great season Biggy, sadly my guys couldn't come to the party.

I'll PM you a list of my player's when I get home.
Can you tell me like the max/min of what player's I need to release???

I'm not sure yet, so don't worry about the list yet. I'll figure it out then tell you all.

 

[CG123]

Ok, also will we get to draft more player's earlier, if I choose to keep less player's, like what I did with NZPL???
E.g. This is not going to happen, but I'm just making a point, everyone else lets go five player's, and I let go of ten, will I then get the first five draft picks???

 

[Sartaj]

Oooh Ross Taylor!!!
This guy's just toying with the bowling attacks and producing T20 stuff in 50 over cricket!
Simply amazing!
Well,the credit goes to our bowlers as well who did a very good job to restrict the Heroes to a modest total.
Phillip Hughes played an important knock yet again while Andrew Symonds' allround effort has been phenomenal!

So,we face a team who we beat by a good margin a couple of days ago in the final and the momentum is certainly with Ross Taylor us.
They sure know what Ross Taylor can do on his day!

 

[hedger_14]

Why did I trade Ross Taylor. Bravo was pretty crap this season and now I'm wishing I kept him. Symonds was also excellent so I pretty much completely lost out on them trades. I want that vcash now that Biggy thought I was taking from you.
