Keeper Lg. BigFooty Dynasty (Ultimate Footy)

[Jordie_tackles]

Man sad news, you have always been a great coach and kept the team shaping well, so much potential as you say.

Life is so busy, having just had my first kid this year I can see how time between family and work and everything is so short.

Hope you well man and always happy to chat about anything if you need it.

Good luck in the future

Jordie

Coaches,

With a heavy heart, I wish to announce my retirement from this league, effective at the end of the season.

Despite current standings, I think the list is not in bad shape. Sloane, Lyons, Viney, Steven, O’Meara, S.Selwood, Steele are a pretty decent starting midfield lineup (when they actually get on the park), there are some good young defenders in Salem and Scharenberg with a lot of years left. The forward line, let by Riewoldt and Elliott, has traditionally been a strength, but probably needs some rejuvenation. Although there is something to look forward to with the likes of Florent and Todd Marshall who are already impacting the game, and will only get better.

I’m still enjoying the league, but if I’m honest, the commitment probably just isn’t where it should be. My team has been mediocre for a while, and I don’t see that really changing until someone is able to spend greater time on trading and player research than I ever could. The guilt of trade requests going unanswered does weigh on me.

Thanks to all the fun over the years – this is truly a great league, and some great people involved. My intention is to remain in charge until the end of the season, maintaining the team in a way that will give my successor the best possible chance for improvement in the future. But I’ll take any direction from Unknown Caller when to handover, if a suitable successor is found in the meantime.

Sincerely,

Pez

Big news! Hope all is well Pez. You've been a great addition to the league. Glad to see you're seeing the year out

I hope you change your mind between now and the end of the season mrpez

Same. You say you are still enjoying it, that is the main thing. You might not be as active as you want to be, but you are more than active enough - and if you leave you won't be active at all .

 

[deeman87]

We have an epic bottom of the table clash going on. Really high quality stuff with 2 full teams full of players in their primes... Good luck Zim^zuM

 

[Rockford]

Caddy - 2 hit outs. Nankervis - 2 hit outs. Of course.

After the game finished it had us at 61 hitouts a piece, but I see than Nank lost one to give me the category win. I wasn't expecting to be close in hitouts, but Bellchambers was massive with 55!

I hope I don't get another mid...

 

[tenderwarrior]

Warriors look to be in trouble here against threenewpadlocks, due in part to forgetting to edit my side before lockout!

 

[Drew23]

Think I have just pipped you Rockford ...1 kick in it

 

[Rockford]

Think I have just pipped you Rockford ...1 kick in it

Yeah, crazy how close it was again. Atley’s kicks get you home by 1. Pretty sure they’re close to my best numbers this season too.

 

[Rockford]

Think I have just pipped you Rockford ...1 kick in it

Not too often someone can say they got 271 kicks and 105 marks and lost both cats Epic match up

 

[Drew23]

Yeah, you shouldn't lose with the stats you got. Both of us would have beat most other teams this week

 

[L_W_P]

Well done mrpez on everything in the league to date. Could have easily gone silent and just ignored things until we had to make a move. I know I'm less committed to the week to week banter than I used to be but I still watch and listen and get involved where I can. Taking a step back from BigFooty as whole has actually been a great thing!

Good luck for the season and good luck to the coach who takes over. I'm sure there will be a few lining up to grab that list and do some work.

On another note - Has there ever been expectation on a side to win the flag like there is on the TurboWarriors this year? Miles in front of the rest. Will this be Essendon 2000 or St Kilda 2009?

No pressure tenderwarrior

 

[tenderwarrior]

Very close match up with Tutty. Down to the last game, both having three players to go, and all nine categories very close with eight still up for grabs!

 

[Jordie_tackles]

How things change,

4 weeks ago I was playing like Collingwood and still I am playing like Collingwood.

But still how things are changing

 

[Jordie_tackles]

12-13 out from my squad last week, a few come in but ouch

I hate bye weeks.

 

[tenderwarrior]

It will be nice to have 18 teams to choose a team from!

 

[Rockford]

L_W_P with a pretty handy FA pickup there!
