Sorry to ruin this evenings entertainment, but I have a legitmate question.
And its long. With some background.
So lets face it. Aus21 isnt going to be Number 1 in the world under the next manager. We will only be able to do our best based on given talent and number of managers training. And even then, tactic's, schedule, etc conspire. So my point with this statement is that, personally, Im not worried about the number in the Wins column.
Even if Manager X can get 10 more users to train their trainee's according to a plan, such that we have more selection of players to choose from/more competition etc, im not worried about this either.
And also just to be clear, Im not worried if my player who is currently in the team gets a game or not. (just so we can eliminate bias here in my comments..haha).
The Aus National Team group will always be a bit more of a 'select' number of users, but anyone from Div IV through to Div I can have someone in or aiming for the U21 team and be involved.....And the involvement of that player and user should be an enjoyable and where applicable, helpful experience. Scouting and training advice should not be focused around getting the best player out of the work, but getting the best user out of the whole experience. And it should involve the Oz community as a whole, without alienating other user's.
What I would like to hear from each manager before I cast my vote, is a summary of how they attempt to unite the Australian community through the U21 team.
