So, has Vantz officially accepted the role as Albury coach?

 

[eaglesfan99]

thetradesman might be interested.

 

[thetradesman]

Definitely.

 

[Russian]

For whoever wants Albury, do something sensible in the off season thread and you get them

 

[Vantz]

So, has Vantz officially accepted the role as Albury coach?

No. It seems like a good idea, but reading the rules, it's a lot of work and the list i'd be getting is not the best. Good luck with it and thanks for the invite.

Phew. Gotta say I'm relieved at only needing to deal with thetradesman rather than you.

haha danoz, just don't have the time to commit fully atm. Would not want to detract from your league.

 

[ShaunDuggan]

So who has Albury?

Also tagging peterss and Continstar letting them kniw its silly season

Tag anyone else thats been quiet

 

[sante]

Need someone else, thetradesman is unreliable

 

[Roylion]

I think Albury was my old team wasn't it? Carlton Lions originally.

I'm betting you can have the team if you want them.

 

[Marklar_33]

Do it, Roy! Take up the challenge!

 

[ShaunDuggan]

Im all for teams that struggle consistently like Albury, Ballarat etc to get compo picks after their first round pick in future seasons, that or apply to get one because its hard to find anyone willing to take on a list thats very average to look at.

Am I one of those teams? If so I agree completely.

 

[eaglesfan99]

If roylion would prefer the packers I'm happy to switch

 

[ShaunDuggan]

So you only agree if you are one of those teams. Righto.

It was a joke mate, I do agree though.

Reckon if he wanted to return he'd like his original team

 

[Russian]

Reckon if he wanted to return he'd like his original team

They're both his old teams

0 wins in 2013, 2 wins in 2014, it's only a matter of time before Ballarat are a juggernaut of the competition.

By the way, four teams received an end of round 1 compensation pick this year, including Albury and Ballarat. I do see what you are saying though, it certainly is hard to get too enthused about taking over a team that has little star talent or young talent. Makes it hard to get involved with trading too and pretty much limits you to bidding on opposition players for talent which usually results in overpaying for them.

 

[sante]

Makes it realistic though. But I've seen blueworms or whatever his username was turn a shit club to a good one in an off season or two

Yup, can certainly turn things around quickly with the right moves due to the bidding system. I'm taking a bit of a longer route with Ballarat though.

Yeah, just pointing it out for any potential new coaches that even with a shit list, with the right moves you can be a top team quickly. Nothing wrong with your approach.

when I took over Harbour City (Sydney Broncos back then) in 2011 it was crap, finished 4th last year. Need to be patient as well.
