GOD DAMMIT.

Well apparently I didn't set a line up for Tuesdays' game even though I'm sure I did.
Anyways. Now Aslam has played 96 minutes and will surely drop to Respectable GS or worse.

Really sorry Iwen.

Not good enough!
You should be sent to the firing line and made an example of.

Get a massage doctor if you dont already have one and hope for the best.

I probably would have liked to have seen us CT Hong Kong, normaled Indonesia and maybe jagged the win in both? then TIE Macau to build up enthusiasm again. anyways. i know. hindsight.

Unfortunately a loss like that given we played 2-3 zone as well against their LI, I guess goes to show how far off our players were this year. I think our defence is pretty good, but offensively, we suck LOL

Brogan at SF as well... i dunno. we had plenty of guards with proficient GS - maybe play one of them at SF? sorry im not trying to sound critical im just voicing possible alternatives for point of discussion.

on the flip side, from what i can see most managers of the good players have been progressing the training and managing GS not too badly, especially this week - so I dont think we could have really asked for much more from the guys.

Since our U21 season is essentially over I will be clearing out the squad and making room for the new guys this week.

Thanks to all those who trained hard during the season. Drawing Hong Kong, Philippines together in the group was just too much to ask.

You know I have strongly supported both you and Leeroy. I think you are clearly one of the best BB minds around and a fantastic coach. But I strongly disagree with what both of you have done in this regard. It is too late, the deed is done and it doesn't even affect me but I still want to state my opinion.

While there is two real games left I think it is a horrible and unfair decision to toss out the U21 players. Two reasons.
First it hurts Australia. We lose games (enthusiasm one and a weaker team) that we could have won losing prestige and international rankings, this can have a real effect when seedings are done putting us in a worse pool in later seasons.

Second it is grossly unfair on the managers of the 21 year olds. They spend four seasons training their players to be on the U21 team and often only get a handful of meaningful games. Don't they deserve to have the chance to see out the season? Once the real games are over and it is just scrimmages then I agree, clean house and give the new squad a few test matches, but not while we still have two real games to go.

Great coach, good season, but I disagree with this decision, I'm sure the owners of the U21s will agree with me, this hurts. Sure the owners of the 20s will be excited but they have their chance next season when they are not on one enthusiasm and against guys a season older then them.
