Thanks for all the support and good questions Dire.

In the past I have contributed directly towards the national and U21 teams but not as much in recent times. Things certainly have died down not just for me but for a number of managers. Probably related to the post Mllama U21 reign as there were many managers involved including myself. I think the majority and including myself have been content with the way the national team have been running in recent times thus the lack of contribution and managers putting their hands up to take the national job. I actually think we can do more. The past few seasons I've been studying the game engine, keeping an eye on the national team but haven't made direct responses to the posts. However this season I plan to contribute with my knowledge whether as the national coach or as a fellow Australian manager.

In regards to the second question, not just playing youngsters but there is something that I always considered trying. I'll post more of the details on the off site forum as it is related to strategy.

Haha didn't realise you were Sam on the offsite forum. You still get a slap on the wrist for not contributing enough (along with everyone else) but at least i have seen you around here and there.

I think most people have noticed your "rise to fame" with your league team and i have seen how you've progressed the team since coming to the ABBL (I actually think we'd have very similar teams if i didn't decide to start going all Aussie) so the strategy and game engine study certainly gets a tick in my book.

Interesting strategy you posted on the offsite forum too. I think it's well worth trying, could certainly give us an edge if it works.



Might be one better suited for the offsite forum as well but how do you see the roster panning out? How would you change it (if at all) from the current setup?

If Crazy Australian thinks you are good I need to reconsider. Is Buzzer Beaters Best still running?

The South African coach went BOT so now they have no coach for two whole seasons. How would you feel if you had trained a player for their U21 team?

Back to Whitebeard. All the "questions" he has faced except for the one from Direwolf remind me of this famous Simpsons episode ‘Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish’ where Mr Burns tried to get elected .

BURNS Ahem, Lisa do you have a question you would like to ask your uncle Montgomery?

LISA Yes, sir, a very inane one. Mr. Burns, your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?

BURNS Ooh, a tough question but a fair one. Lisa, there's no single answer. Some voters respond to my integrity, others are more impressed with my incorruptibility. (Lisa leaves the table) Still others buy my determination to lower taxes. And the bureaucrats in the state capital can put that in their pipes and smoke it!

(Lisa is in the kitchen.)

LISA Oh Mom, that felt awful.

MARGE Mmm... I'm sorry dear. It will all be over soon.

LISA But Mom, we've become the tools of evil.
