Also, in the final if you lost a key player to injury it would've been better to change the pace of the game.
The injury occurred during the game in the 3rd minute..... With Sargic available the Philippines, we would have most likely won the game. Shows that looking at the box score and criticising means nothing.
Our succession plan isn't about blocking out other managers. We've had it for almost 14 seasons now. It's about getting Aussies involved in the national team, with the hope that once they've done their contribution, they can take over the team and us "old timers" can relax knowing it's in good hands. Those who support the managers running the teams know the team better than someone from the outside. They helped mentor rookies and mould them for the team.
We love people getting involved in the National Team, unfortunately not enough do. Once you get more involved, especially offsite, I reckon you'll get more support in the future. As of now, most of the teams in the Fishbowl Private league and in the ABBL would lean towards Leeroy. That's over 40 votes right there (if people can be bothered voting).
With all that being said, I applaud the enthusiasm, and suggest you offer your services as a scout or talent mentor if you lose the election, rather than disappear for another few seasons.
