I have to say I am very happy with the way this season turned out for competition. There will always be teams that decide to gut for variour reasons....no problem....can't get away from it. But there is a very good level of competition in the conferences this year as evidenced by the close playoff races in Zeta and Alpha.

I think the plan is to do the same again next year in regards to the shuffle. Not sure.

While I am here, I want to also express my high regard for those teams in Zeta who stuck with the rebuilding/competing process throughout the season. I have no problem with what the Drunk Fu did at all....the owner made a decision and I am not here to say anything about that except wish him luck in the future. But...coming from the bowels of the conference with the Seals, I respect Hattrick, Pentrith, Cairns and Sydney hanging around. Yes...I included you Sydney...I know how hard CB's are to come by. It will take you some time to have them catch up to the rest of the team though. You might be in a lot of 70-65 games next season


Osaka.....yup.....I have some thoughts on the Buckeyes. I think they have proved to be the best team so far in the conference, no doubt and should be prohibitive favorites to win Zeta. But...I have a thought that the playoff sledding might be a little bit rockier for the Buckeyes. I base this on having drank 7 beers.....but also....it is just a nagging thought. I might be totally wrong on this....and 5Star will definitely let me know , but it is just a thought. No knock on Osaka at all....very nice team. But when I look at Newcastle, Vanuatu, Antarctica, and Chillicothe....I don't see that much difference in the dots. Maybe my beer vision is askew...I don't know. They deserve the favorite spot, well earned. Might be intersting playoffs....I hope so!


Team I would least like to play with identical dots:
Vanuatu....just because every time I think I have them figured out....they prove me wrong. I hate you....

2nd place.....Wake Island.....done the mostest with the leastest. Just a great job.



Best Rival for the Seals....(its my thread....)
Chillicothe....by far. We have had close games throughout our time in Oceania AA#3 with the Convicts. I'm just glad that this year, finally, we got to have them roll over on their stomach.

2nd place.....SAFS.....another team we played close once or twice and finally won a game against...1 point is still a win!


Team I can't figure out at all...
Gold Coast.....I just think they should be doing better and I can't put my finger on why they aren't. Game planning....maybe...I don't know. They have some good dots though. Could be very dangerous next year.

2nd place...Vanuatu.....I think we have a good game plan in place, and I'm wrong....again. I still hate you....


Most likely team to improve by a bunch next year...
Penrith.....not many inactives at all even with a poor record this year. That tells me the team is in it for the long haul. They could be a surprise next year with a few good signings.

2nd place.....Gold Coast....they could make a huge jump with some of whatever it is they are missing. Heck...I don't know what it is.


Anyway....that's all I have to say about that.

There is no difference in the dots from Osaka all the way down to Antartica. Osaka is even outleveled by most of those teams. We were giving up an average of 3 levels per starter against a couple of them when we played.

Teams I do not want to play again:
Antartica
-Played us strong and I know the type of offensive AI they use and it is hard to defend.

Vanuatu
-Not sure they took us seriously and got their ass handed to them. I am sure a 2nd game would be tougher.

Most likely we will play one of these teams in the 2nd round. As Wake Island is going to win the #3 seed.

PS there is a reason we have won 32 in a row and keep going even after cap was removed. Every game we know our opponents weakness and exploit it.

The Antarctica offense is based on decisions made by the basic AI. I normally set it at 50% across the board and cross my fingers.

I am pretty sure Vanuatu took you seriously. That was just a well earned win by Osaka. But...you are right to be wary of a 2nd matchup.....that goes for Newcastle also.

Wake...I don't know. They might, but I would be surprised. I see them as the #5 seed, but they will have a chance, along with USGD, to prove me wrong. It is an easy thing to do.

I know you offense is Basic with auto adjust...kinda hard to put you on a play in a certain situation. If you have a hole on your defense the auto adjust will find it.

Wake Island will beat Chillicothe if they watch the Osaka game. I won't point out certain things in opens forums but they have some HUGE holes and just judging by the fact Wake and Osaka have played together for 3 seasons now I am pretty sure they will look closely at what we did.

So you are saying that you will send them a PM then?

I didn't get that from the post ken...I think he is saying that Wake will take a good look at the game and what Osaka did during it.

From what I see of the Wake team, they don't need any help figuring out game plans.

Oh I think it will be a very good game!

It is in the Seal's interest if the Convicts win....so I am definitely wearing Chilicothe orange today.

Hey, if ya figure out what our problem is, let me know, k? Thanks. I'm pretty sure it's the fact that we just weren't ready for a promotion to AA. You guys(all) really have your shit together.
