Thought Dire wasn't a GM anymore?

I personally think Iwen deserves another term, he's put so much effort into making sure we have a good influx of Aussie talent and I think he should be rewarded. The only problem I see is the inactiveness of the bb offsite forums, I'd love to see it as active as it was when we were doing the mentor system. Iwen said he'd be bringing it back so fingers crossed

It's coming back.

I had my reasons for removing it in the first place, and those have been justified. Now there's a very good reason to bring it back..

I have gone through every single draft pick from every league in Australia so far, and WOW it is BAD.

Since I've been looking at buying 2 HOF PG/SGs to train, I only found 1 that was worthy of anything at the moment.

Hopefully I missed something and Buzzerbeaterstats is online against soon..

Same here. I have seen your bids and I am interested in one too - I would have thought he was below your standard actually. Very few decent Aussies in this draft but have a look at the II.1 draft there are two great guys there maybe the teams will sell with a little persuasion. This could be an issue for the team in a few seasons time. What plans would you put in place to prevent this potential problem?

The crop of players I inherited were very half baked and I wasn't too happy with them.

Too many cooks spoil the soup...

So I took over the individual mentoring of a lot of players and they ended up making the squad.

I will be brining it back and looking to get more active on the offsite forum, especially in preparation for when I step down after my 2nd term, someone who has contributed a lot on the offsite forum will do well when they get the job.

Perhaps working with the mentors and providing guidance and a direction would have been the answer?

More that everyone trains differently, otherwise if I need to guide mentors... I may as well do it myself.

Like I said, it's coming back. I did state during my last election I was removing it, and this time it's back. Will be run in a similar way again.

Hello friends
How are you?
Who suggested me to try to maybe join the team of coach - so probably will not happen.
I sent a message to Iwen and I offered him my help. Unfortunately, he read the message but did not return my answer so I guess he was not interested.
In any case I'll be glad to help scouting and tactical advice.
Why do I want?? That the members here welcomed me and treated with respect.
And second I see the forum is very active here and I think this could be improved by sharing the forum.
In the coming days I will list the teams that are at home with Australia, including an interesting addition we need to know later in the season.
