Your points on pace are valid but again, it is easy to make comments on games already played

Scouting is what thats called.

That's just a tad bit condescending.

Just a question for a bit of an explanation about the "succession plan"

Speaking on behalf of a new manager, how are we supposed to get any consideration to be involved in this? I know "have some input in the offsite forum and give your opinions in tactis, etc. But personally as "buzzerbeaters best" I asked numerous times to be involved and help get mentored so I could be in a similar position to what leeroy has been in and it seems as if I have been ignored perhaps or just not taken seriously. I scouted opposition players for the NT, tried to ask questions about strategies and even a once or twice suggested some tactics. However even then my suggestions are "wrong". Why? Because I have not experienced any sort of mentorship that the veterans suppose they have going on. I asked for a mentor on the offsite forum. Still there has been no reply. The only time I receive help is if I ask one little specific question. That's all the help I get

Now I'm not totally again the "succession plan" and I know all of the new managers could do a lot more to get involved but I'm just haven't seen enough of this mentor thing or the roles to assist NT coaches hasn't been given to anyone besides the coaches in the "clique" (in my short experience playing this game)

So all I'm asking is that the veterans be a bit more open (even the they say they already are) to new managers trying to find their place in the Australian community and allowing us to climb up the ranks with your help

It's not an attack if it sounds like one as I respect all of you guys and am working hard to gain your respect

You're well on the way.

By the way, I'll respond to your BB-mail re: trainees, tomorrow morning =)

I'm sure their is much work to do as a NT coach that if you put your hand up whoever the new U21 coach is will be willing to use your services to your current strengths which may make their job just that little bit easier.

Maybe they can offer you closer mentoring in return?

Sounds good. I'd help the NT coach or the U21 NT coach any way that I could.

Oh and sorry for some of the English errors in my post, it's hard to keep track of everything I have written on this little iPod and sometime I press the wrong thing hehe

Do u have a fat thumb Mr Alvarez?

I think so

I was starting to miss Fanny, zyler and Crazy Australian so really I should be pleased that silo1978 has popped up.

Just to confirm, I am neither one of those guys you mentioned above. And I still don't know who fanny (who you thought was me) is??

Not you. I know who you are and you know me even though you did say no-one had helped you with your team.

"even though you did say no-one had helped you with your team"
