What is the infatuation with Madlax? If they didn’t have a good summer, who cares if half the team is leaving. Sounds like they need to clean house and these True boys will bring some grit and athleticism. If those leaving all go to the same team
Combined with even lesser talent than the 1-3 at NLF, doesn’t sound like a recipe for success.
Sorry, so your argument is that a team that went 5-2 in HOCO is losing a bunch of starters and replacing them with guys from a team that went 3-4 only with the benefit of fly-in players, and the team is now going to be better? Because grit?
good point. without the fly-ins, True Chesapeake would have gone 0-7, and lost every game pretty badly. so is MadLax getting the locals or the fly ins?
Madlax has its roster posted. They lost some good players - an attackman, 2 middies, a couple poles, former goalie. But they seem to have kept their top 3 attack, all but one of the middies that played significant minutes and kept the older one discussed on here all the time. Kept most of their poles that played. Also added several new players, presumably those are the True kids. So realistically we are looking at a lateral movement for them. I’d expect they are marginally worse next year as NL and DCE reload with new players and Hawks and FCA were already better. So something like Hawks, FCA, Crabs/NL/DCE, Madlax, and 91 is the likely order going into next season in terms of talent. I bet elite is just 7 teams unless Freedom comes down.
