Hello all,

A position has opened up for the coach of the Pacific Islanders in the World XVs (SuperCoach)

Last year this team finished with 7 wins and 10 losses, but during the trade period basically changed its entire team.

The team has a whole bunch of talent, but I won't lie, will likely struggle this coming year. The challenge for the new coach of this team is to make it competitive in the short term, while building to a succesful team in years to come.

Please apply below with your best XV, personal and team strenths and weaknesses, and and the future!

Will Put this to a vote Sunday night, with the coach announced in time to participate in the preseason competition starting in the 2nd round of the NAB cup.

Good morning all, i would like to apply for the coaching position

A bit about me - This will be my 3rd year playing fantasy football not sure why i didn't start earlier maybe because i was driving cabs working 60-70 hours a week and just didn't have time but since i discovered it i have been somewhat addicted to it i guess we all are to be involved in the XV Comps. I live with my sister and my 4 year old nephew my nephew means the world to me treat him like he was my own kid i babysit him 3 nights a week while my sister goes to work

I must admit it took me a while to stumble across the XV Comps after joining FF not sure why but as soon as i learned what it was i wanted to be involved i made a thread asking how to join and Holz offered to hand me over his team n BXV the Birmingham Bombers i am also an assistant to HP in WXV and EXV and i think i am an assistant to JBs in AXV but not heard from him since the draft lol. Since joining the BXV i have been very active have contributed to the Forum and helped out Ringo whenever i could i don't think anyone would say i'm not enthusiastic i head hunted some assistants in upthemaidens, nostradamous, stew42, T Dog and FOOTBALLFACTORY some of them were also not aware of the XV Comps so i explained it to them and afterwards they were more then happy to join and now they help me out with trade advise

The Team - Ok i actually love this team as it's being groomed for the future and i don't mind waiting 2-3 years for success Miles i really rate had super impressive stats as a junior i think if he can play 15 games+ this season he will really improve, could list heaps of guys i highly rate like Savage, Howe, Rockliff, Howlett, Hampton, De Boar, Miles and more this team has huge potential imo

it's biggest issue is probably defense i would try to offer some youth to try and get a good young premium defender

best 15 i think would be

Def - Hampton, Mohr, Talia, Bugg

Mids, Howlett, Gibson, Rockliff, Savage?

Utilities, Miles/Blease, Longer?

Rucks, Luenberger

Forwards, Dawes, De Boar, Reid, Howe

geez that was really tough lol btw Ossie Hampton is B/F not B/M would really want to hope couple of the young blokes like Viney, Terlich, Elliot, Mitchell, show something this season to help out or the team will be in struggle town but atleast will get good draft picks which because we have enough youth i'd put them on the trade table


i always spend a lot of time reading up on rookies each year so i feel like drafting is a strong suit of mine HP sought after my advise and JBs pretty much let me pick whoever i wanted for him

um not really sure what else to say this has taken me an hour lol

oh yeah i get email notifications on my phone so unless i'm sleeping i am very easily contacted via PM and respond promptly

i might post a couple of references soon also but have not asked them if i can yet

Reference 1 - Ringo

Reference 2 - Hellopplz

cheers KB, will fix that up.

That's a great application!

Unfortunate I am applying under these circumstances as c4 was a great coach and person to have around the WXV boards. If I get the job I will definitely ask c4 to be a part of it when he regains the time.

I am the head coach of an AXV team so if you pick someone else that does not have a team, that's fine.

This is my 4th year of SC so I know a fair bit about the scoring system and how much value players have. I am very prompt in replying to PMs and wont have any major chunk of time away from FF. I am an active trader and always look to improve my team's list. I value the advice I get from my assistants and look to take it on board but, I make my own decisions at the same time. I have done some work for Ringo in the BXV, so would be more than happy to help out wherever possible in the WXV board.

I like the look of the Islanders list and feel we can challenge for a flag in the future. We have a quality young list even if you look past the stars like Tom Rockliff, there is plenty of great young talent there.

Backs: Jaencsh, Bugg, Watson, Brown/Terlich

Mids: Rockliff, Gibson, Savage, Howlett

Ruck: Leuenberger

Fwds: De Boar, Dawes, Reid, Howe

Int: Ellard, Viney

It's a pity that the trading period is over as there are a few little things I would like to fix up such giving up some mid depth for a reliable high-scoring back. But overall it is a great young list which I think can be competitive this season and start working our way up the ladder if guys like Blease and Claye Beams breakout.

I have a connection to the Islanders as they are a brother club to my AXV team, so I would really like this job and want to continue the good work of c4, although it would be hard to live up to, I like a challenge :)

Hould so apply. Join the ranks of JB-Hawks and Nails with teams 4.

But I'll sit this one out :)

Good luck all fellow applicants.

I'd like to apply for this job. Being good mates with c4, he's told me a lot about his team and I'd like to have him back with me if and when he can.


For those who don't know, I'm a year 12 student (looking at a 90 atar if that helps) from Perth with 2 years of fantasy experience under my belt. My world-famous dream team Goodfellas has finished 7,000 and 2,677 in my first two seasons, and am looking at top 500 after doing a lot of work around the RMDT and P&T boards this pre-season. I've followed footy my whole life after going to my first Claremont Tigers (WAFL) match at only a few weeks old and seeing them win the flag that year at only 2 months old...and we sat behind Graham Moss (Essendon and Claremont legend) at that grand final. Have been a major bombers supporter since 2004 and have been following them since around 2002. In terms of SC I've only started this season but have put together a great side (due to DT being very similar to SC) which I reckon should go at a top 2000 ranking. I've been an assistant coach at four XVs teams for varying lengths of time- with Boomz at WXV and Torp at EXV for a while, and Hawka in BXV and Koopa at AXV for short periods of time, before taking on the role of co-head coach of the Swindon Swaggers with ossie last week in the British XVs, and you can note that I have a 100% outstanding effort for Swindon in the two things I've done so far. I've been on FF over 2 years and am extremely active in all the DT boards, Front Bar, Coaches Board, Soccer board and, as of recently, the XVs boards.

The reason I've chosen to apply for World XVs and not Asia XVs even though Colli offered me the gig is that I know a lot of coaches- besides c4, I've been mates with TORP, Nails, ML, Chumps, Holz, Ringo, Fisher, Afev, Pyro, HP, CF, Boomzie and ossie for a while, due to mostly the chat, plus other fantasy comps such as the APL and other boards such as the FB, coaches, DT boards, etc. You can use all of these people for references if you need any, in addition to many people I've aided in the RMDT and P&T boards.

My plan for the team is simple- win and develop. We will be aiming at winning as many games as possible on a short-term basis, i.e. in 2013, and go for as high a win/loss ratio as we can, due to our highly talented young side, which still has plenty of room to develop, with the goal of having a couple of serious premiership tilts in the next few seasons and hopefully take home a premiership to the Pacific Islands. To quote c4, we will have an iron-like vision to survive and eventually succeed, despite the odds.

My best XV at this stage;
Backs: Jaencsh, Talia, Bugg, Mohr
Mids: Rockliff (c), Gibson, Howlett, Savage
Ruck: Leuenberger (vc)
Forwards: de Boer, Dawes, Howe, Reid
Utilities: Blease, Beams
Knocking on the door: Viney, Terlich, Watson, Ellard, Banfield, Saad, Tutt, Miles, Longer, Brown, Stanley.

As you can see by the amount of midfielders knocking on the door, we have outstanding midfield depth, especially with very young talent such as Viney and Miles and soon to break-out Blease and Beams, who will look to lead their side to success in the future. In the next trade period we will be willing to offer up a couple of these young midfielders for a backman due to our lack of backmen in both depth and premium-status. I like our backline, I just feel we need one more gun to accompany it.

My favourite position of ours is the midfield. As explained earlier, we have supreme midfield depth to fill our four spots (plus two utilities), in addition to our guns such as Brisbane superstar and Pacific Islanders captain Tom Rockliff, NM young gun Sam Gibson, and bombers and hawks undervalued guns in Ben Howlett and Shane Savage, then, as aforementioned, soon to break out Blease and Beams and young superstars Viney and Miles, among others.

The forward and ruck lines are adequate at this stage. Our forward line is very decent, assuming Dawes finds form at his new club, and Leuey is a very good young ruck man, followed by new up-and-comers Longer and Witts, who should both aim to be in the top 2 rucks at their club in the near future.

If successful I'll be appointing Jayman and tabs as my senior assistant coaches.
Both have confirmed this via pms.

The best application yet. And probably picked the strongest possible side that the team can field.

Hello All,

I would also like to apply as head coach of the WXV's Pacific Islanders.

A fan and member since Nov 2012, the Islanders have been the WXV team I have grown up supporting and to have a chance to take the reins and add my own slice of history to this proud club would be a dream for me.
Previous coaches have set the bar high in regards to how they dealt with the other coaches, players and members and I would endeavor to take that role on with gusto.

Here is how I see the starting line up.

Defense              Jaensch Watson  Mohr Bugg
Mids                    Rocky (C) Howlett Ellard Gibson
Ruck                   Leuenberger
Fwd                    De Boer (VC) Dawes Howe Lisle
Utility                  Miles Beams   

We have some very strong young kids to develop over the next few years. But in the short term some trades would be used to strengthen the defensive line and get some top line midfield help for Rockliff.

I have relevant history currently an assistant coach with the Mongolian Lambs in the AXV's league, but I am looking to try and get my own team. A member of FF for 3 years and confessed SC nut, which means WXV's is the game they play in my heaven!
I am ready to take over this team today, currently spend plenty of time online to make sure the Islanders dont fall behind again and to get the Islanders brand out there across the world. We are a force to be reckoned with and I commit to a premiership within 3 years!

Thanks

SR

I would also like to apply for the role of Head Coach of The Pacific Islanders in the WXV competition.


Having finished school last year, I have decided to take a gap year in 2013, meaning that I will have plenty of time to dedicate towards organising this team, and contributing to the forum and the wider XVs community. Having started fantasy football in 2010, I have now had two solid seasons of experience, culminating in me becoming the co-coach of a team in the AXV competition, the Mongolian Lambs (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,70127.0.html). I have loved the opportunity I have been given in the XVs competition, and have worked hard on making our team thread (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,70127.0.html) look neat and impressive, along with a couple of trades that have put us in position to be a legitimate premiership threat this year, as I'm sure picker_man (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=6065) will be able to tell you! Ive also become involved in the WXV comp through Nigey (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7935) at the Cairo Sands, which has been a good opportunity to show my worth in the trades department, despite the limited time i had at the Sands. Along with working hard on my team in the AXV comp, I have also offered to design guernseys for some of the teams (see my work here (http://imageshack.us/a/img585/5915/elephantshome.png), here (http://imageshack.us/a/img16/9271/birminghamaway.png), here (http://imageshack.us/a/img706/5599/elephantsaway.png), here (http://imageshack.us/a/img5/3522/kathmanduaway.png) and here (http://imageshack.us/a/img163/5959/kathmanduclash.png)!) - I think this demonstrates the time and effort I am willing to put into the competition, let alone my own team. I have also done plenty of research around the forums which I have shared with other coaches, including plenty of player profiles, a phantom draft with my fantasy predictions, and lots of work in the Richmond Player Profiles (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,69889.0.html), and I think this would come in handy when drafting and trading over the off-season when weighing up choices.

I would love to get the nod for this job because I have loved my time being involved in the AXV comp and would like another team to get me involved in another comp, as I love the responsibility that comes with the teams, and think these competitions are a great way to not only get more involved in fantasy competitions, but also to meet new people on the forums. Being the original XVs concept, I am super interested in getting the gig here, and I have been a massive fan of the Islanders since the membership drive of 2012!

If I were to be elected coach of the Islanders, I would look to pull off some trades that would improve this already young and improving team, particularly the midfield and defence. In 2013, I would look to put our best team forward and bring home as many wins as possible for the Islanders faithful, and think that with a list including young guns Bugg, Rockliff, Gibson, Howlett, Leuenberger, Dawes, Howe, Blease and a few talented draftees, a premiership stint could well take place in the not-too-distant future.

At the moment, my best XV would be:
D: Bugg, Brown, Jaensch, Talia
M: Rockliff (C), Gibson, Howlett, Ellard
R: Leuenberger (Longer)
F: de Boer, Dawes, Howe, Reid
U: Blease, Savage

Upside: A very young team, but one that will surely improve in the coming years. Brown, Jaensch, Blease and Savage are, at the moment, a bit inconsistent in nature, and are still trying to cement themselves in their respective best 22's, but I think if not this year, then next year, most of them will be firmly set in their best 22 and getting regular games. Kids like Viney, Jack Martin and Dean Terlich will all also push for selection.

Downside: The downside to this team is its short-term prospects. I am confident that I will be able to field 15 players a week, but at stages, this might have to include playing a rookie in the field. So this year, we might come up short a few times if we are unlucky with injuries etc, but I will work hard to make sure this isn't the case in 2014 by trading and drafting to suit this team's needs and long-term prospects.

All the best to other applicants, I hope whoever gets it takes this team to success in the coming years!

I would like to formally apply for the available position of Head Coach for the Pacific Islanders. Getting involved in the Worlds Comp was a goal of mine as it was the original comp and most prestigious.


Name: Ricochet
Twitter Account: @Ricochetthis

Personal Attributes
- Extremely active Fan Footy member.
- Highly motivated to succeed.
- Ability to prioritise, organise and complete work within set time periods (... on FF, meaning no real life work gets done :P )
- Committed to professional ethics and standards


Education
- 2007 to 2011: WAFFC (Western Australia Fantasy Football College)
Graduated with an average score of 114ppg... do know how to find the footy


Employment History
At the beginning on the 2012 season I joined the Belgium Bashers as an Assistant to Elephants and FARK. The team had an average year spending most of 2012 near the bottom of the ladder, but somehow scraped into the finals only to be knocked out. We identified our weaknesses and traded very aggressively. Turning an average side into one of the Premiership favourites.

When the British League was created, I was recruited by Spite and Elephants as an Assistant at the Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs. We believe we have successfully drafted a very young top 4 side, that has a lot of promise for the future. We have also traded well and secured a number of quality players without losing too much quality.

Recently I have joined Nigey and Major Lazer at the Cairo Sands in the Worlds XVs. Being involved in the Worlds Competition was a goal of mine, being the original XV comp. I have only been at the Sands for a short period, but in this time I have brought in one trade which significantly boosted our midfield with only losing backline and fwd depth.

Team Assessment
As this team is a 2-3 years off being a serious contender I will look at the list if it was 2015ish.
We would assume that Rocky would lose dpp status. De Boer is another who is likely to lose dpp by then but he isn't as obvious as what Rocky is.

DEF Bugg, Jaensch, T.Simpkin,, D.Talia
MID Rockliff, Gibson, Savage, Howlett, Ellard, Beams
RUC Leuy
FWD De Boer, Dawes, S.B.Reid, Howe
________________________________________

DEF Mohr, Hampton,, Watson, L.Delaney, Blee, L.Brown, Terlich, Oxley, Frost
MID Cunningham, Tutt, Miles,, J.Simpkin, Viney, J.Martin, Stark, Mitchell, Grigg, Z.Williams
RUC Witts, Longer, Nicholls
FWD Saad, Banfield, Blease, Stanley, Lisle, Elliot,  Tomlinson, Paine

Age:
Such a young team with the oldest players being Mohr, Howlett Leuenberger, Dawes. All are only 25 so in two years time the starting team will range from 21-27. With so many young guns we will look to develop internally and rebuild. Obviously trading will still be required to strengthen this team.

Balance:
To be honest, it isn't that bad. The ruck line is strong with plenty of talent backing up Leuey. The starting 4 forwards have so much potential. As does the bench, with Elliot and Stanley being two of my favourites. The midfield is young and has plenty of talent coming through. The backline is probably the weakest line of the team but tbh it isn't that bad. Bugg, Jaensch, Hampton, Simpkin and Talia all have so much potential.

Scoring:
Rocky is the standout here. While likely to lose dpp in the near future he has the scoring capabilities of a premium midfielder. By averaging mid 80s (unsubbed) so early in their careers Gibson, Savage, Howlett and Ellard have shown enough to suggest they will be dependable scorers in the future.

Future Trading:
I will try to develop internally but obviously some trading is required to rebuild. The backline will be targeted in future trading and future drafts. Although I do think there is enough talent there to build on.

Some very quality applications here and well done to all applicants. Going to be a difficult task for we coaches to choose, from them.

cant speak highly enough of Ric, has become a big part of the euro league and is very active with the bashers. As an assistant along with FARK they both put in more effort than some of the coaches. The quality of the coaching staff at the bashers will be evident this year when they are right up the top of the ladder. While they might not have the quality coaching staff of the eagles ;) they come close.

The contendars are getting better! Was going to say give Toga the pen, but Ric might of taken the honours :o

Going to be a tough vote

I can vouch for Ric also. Absolute beast of an assistant coach in Euros and Brits. We talk to each other regularly (almost everyday haha) about potential trade targets, long term goals and short term plans. Like he said, he helped myself and Fark turn the Bashers into premiership contenders from a side just good enough to stumble into the top 8 (for the first time all season I might add!).

But yeah, if you sign up Ric, you're signing up an insanely active and keen coach who will undoubtedly do everything in his power to lead this team up the ranks and help make the Worlds even more competitive than it already is!

Get around him.

I dont want to take on a Coaching position as i already have my BXV team but im happy to help out if the new coach needs an assistant.

I am currently an assistant to Mons (AXV: PNG HeadHunters) and Scrads (EXV: Macedonian Wolves) as well as holding the top coach role for Staines Steins (BXV). I have also previously been an assistant to Jayman (AXV: Sri Lankan Strikers)

I could vouch for all coaches, each have somewhat unique abilities, which will help the Pacific Islanders.  Knowing these coaches and their abilities, as I said is going to make it very hard for me to decide who is the best to take the Islanders. All coaches are worthy of the position and I have no doubts will be active during the season and get the best out of the Islanders.

A brown paper bag from some of the applicants may be good ;) ;) ;) Just joking,

Agree with all the other coaches, so many quality potential Coaches applying for this job! Going to be a VERY tough and probably close election process, best of luck all.

Usually I have an idea how the vote is going to go, no idea this time

Rico is a world class coach and annoys the hell outta me, PMs me every week offering all sorts of things for Buddy in euros.  :P

I would like to formally apply for the available position of Head Coach for the Pacific Islanders. Getting involved in the Worlds Comp was a goal of mine as it was the original comp and most prestigious.

cant speak highly enough of Ric, has become a big part of the euro league and is very active with the bashers. As an assistant along with FARK they both put in more effort than some of the coaches. The quality of the coaching staff at the bashers will be evident this year when they are right up the top of the ladder. While they might not have the quality coaching staff of the eagles ;) they come close.

Haha thanks mate

Rico is a world class coach and annoys the hell outta me, PMs me every week offering all sorts of things for Buddy in euros.  :P

Jukes, you name me in your references but not as one of your mates on the chat?  :o Gonna have to rethink with FS who to vote for.  ;)

Edited bro, how could I forget you

A downside for voting jukes is we would have to see that annoying display picture everywhere.

and again when i play you in the DP challenge

  I'm loving these applications guys, some ripping efforts.

As for me, I'd told myself that I'd apply for a WXV coaching position as soon as one came up but unfortunately won't have any time for it in the near & foreseeable future as some may have noticed my lessoning time spent around the forums.  Instead I shall continue to work under HP in WXV's & Nails in AXV's, good luck to all of you. :D

Honestly don't know who I'm going to vote for, all such good candidates. I know from experience in the APL that Jukes is a very committed coach and is usually the first team submitted each week, but then his con is I don't like boxxy :P

anybody give me the slightest chance? my odds would prob be @101  :-[

I would say you're certainly up there KB. I have absolutely no clue who will get the gig...

thanks CF but kinda feels like a school yard thing people get picked for being popular i don't think i'm one of them


least Ric got the AXV job he said he would withdraw his WXV application if he got it

I dont think we are voting on popularity at all.  Its a best person for the job kinda vote

Agree with JB it's not about popularity, well for me anyway, and not about who is the best fantasy player. For me it's about who I think will do the best job, stay active and involved in the comp. You could be the most popular guy on FF and won SC last year, but if I think all you will do is post the team each Friday and not get involved then I won't vote for you.

True JBS we are voting for the best man for the job but with the quality applicants we have have not got a clue at the moment who I will vote for.  Basically will be looking for a coach that will promote the Islanders for the whole season and be involved with the club.

Haha yes that is an annoying feature of jukes, when we all know I am the unluckiest player! Highest point scorer yet 3rd last ::)

If it went by popularity then I would win :D (lol jks)

Ah, so Ricochet has withdrawn?

And unlucky? 4th highest point scorer and miss the finals in WXV, missed it by less than 1%. Why? Cos DANIEL MERRETT scored 170 out of nowhere

Correct Mr Oswald

Yes Oss.

Apologies to everyone but I will have to withdraw my application after being successful in the Asia XVs.
It is still a goal of mine to join the World XV comp but at this point and time my focus will be to rebuild the KL Crocs  :)
Cheers fellas

Fair enough Ricochet, not many would chose to play in the VFL if they could play in the AFL, but each to there own :P

Haha yeh but I had to look at it this way...
Not accept the VFL role and hope like flower I get the AFL position, which isn't guaranteed and could leave me with no team.
Or take the less risky option and take the VFL role.
Plus I had to keep my word.

Not saying I won't want to join the AFL in the future tho  ;)

I have no idea who's going to get the gig.

I like to think that I will be up there but the quality of applicants is unbelievable.

Think whoever wins will do so narrowly. Just hope it's me :D

XV's Employment
I have been an assistant coach, Under Ringo (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4668) at the Swansea Breakers (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,62875.0.html), in BXV, since December the 6th, 2012 and have been actively involved in trading in the short time I have been there. I have also been an assistant coach at the Manila Folders (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,66602.0.html), in AXV, since December the 8th, 2012 under BB67th (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=6349l) and with my fellow assistant, NigeyS (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7935).

Team

Best XV
DEF: Bugg, Jaensch, T.Simpkin, Mohr,
MID: Rockliff, Gibson, Howlett, Viney, 
RUC: Leunburger
FWD: De Boer, Dawes, S. Reid (Syd) , Howe
INT: C. Beams, Ellard

Reserves
DEF: D.Talia, Hampton, Watson, L.Delaney, Blee, L.Brown, Terlich, Oxley, Frost
MID: Cunningham, Tutt, Miles, J.Simpkin, Savage, J.Martin, Stark, Mitchell, Grigg, Z.Williams
RUC: Witts, Longer, Nicholls
FWD: Saad, Banfield, Blease, Stanley, Lisle, Elliot,  Tomlinson, Paine

Leadership Group
Captain: Tom Rockliff
Vice Captain: Matthew Leunburger
Others: Matthew De Boer and Sam Gibson
Reserves Captain: Will change week to week

Likes
I like the young team with heaps of potential. I think that we will be challenging for the cup in a couple of years time. I also like the newly drafted players, Viney and Terlich who should be smashing it in a couple of years.

Dislikes
The short term. I think that the Islanders will be struggling this year. With all the young players I think they will be getting rested a lot, yet I don't think I will have to much of a problem fielding XV.

Reserves Competition
I just realized the Islanders don't have a reserves team, So heres what I think it should be..


The logo will probably change before the season starts, but I think it will do for the moment.

What I will do
I don't think I will change to much. I would be happy to trade with people and I'll let almost anyone join as an Assistant. I would also like to rename the name of the Pacific Islanders Club Champion Award to the C4 Award, if that's OK by C4.

Another great application :)

These applications are getting full on. I cbf reading any of them  :P

That's the commitment we like to see from the current WXV coaches ::)

I accept cash to my inbox if any of the applicants want... help.

Seriously though it's not a popularity contest although it does help if you are known as people will know what you are like as you can't know everything from an application.

There be some mighty fine applicants. Yes, siree!

All have my tick of approval. I hope they treat my baby well....  :'(

I tend to read most applications once when posted and when voting occurs. Sometimes inbetween when bored to scout the team and what the potential new coach wants to improve >:D.

Good luck guys, looks like a fantastic range of applicants. The islanders will come out of this with a more than worthy replacement, that's for sure!

Thursday? Or when all votes are in?

Ossie just wants to keep you all in suspense ;)

What he didn't tell you his, results should be known on Thursday (the Thursday before Season proper starts)

This coming Thursday (28th Feb) I will let you know the results, regardless of whether everyone has voted or not.....

6 of 17 coaches have voted already though, no clear breakout so far!

I meant if votes are in early do we find out then or won't be earlier?

Quote from: kilbluff1985 on February 24, 2013, 06:53:21 PM

If I find them out earlier, I'll hold onto that knowledge, just to annoy you

.... but I'll probably tell it earlier

10 of 17 coaches have voted so far....

Although each coach is still a mathematical chance of winning, it is really a 4 horse race at the moment. I won't say who is winning or losing, but will let you know how the points scoring system is going....

I've asked each coach to rank the 6 applicants in order of preference. I have then added up these preferences, with the lowest score being the winner. After 10 coaches, the scoring is:

Coach A: 27 points
Coach B: 30 points
Coach C: 30 points
Coach D: 32 points
Coach E: 42 points
Coach F: 49 points

Ahhhh this is killing me ;)

I'm gonna be a rebel and break the news (although it may or may not be already known). Jay and Jukes are planning to go the co-coach route. So if one wins, both win.  :o  ::)

Lol they should of applied as co coaches then more chance of winning

And think still needs to be a vote in worlds if they want to be co coaches

Yeah if they want to be co-coaches we then have to vote on that too

Quote from: CrowsFan on February 25, 2013, 11:04:40 AM

Oh true, I should have known that considering that's how I became co-coach.  :-X

Pretty unlikely to get rejected though

Kind of interesting that all our preferences count...

One coach who might be number 1 preference for like 11 coaches but 5-6th preference for 2-3 coaches could lose to someone who's 2nd preference across the board...

Exactly the way I like it :)

If somebody got 8 first preferences and 9 last preferences, against someone who had 17 2nd preferences, I'd be much more comfortable with the guy with 17 2nd preferences.

5....

1 vote seperates top 3

1 coach officially out of running (I won't say who)

cool might get results by tonight maybe

4 coaches left to vote....

From my previous ladder (Coach A was winning, B and C equal second, D 4th, E 5th and F 6th....)

Coach D has hit the front, with Coach A drifting to 2nd. Coach C shifts down one to 3rd, and Coach B falls to 4th and looks to be struggling. Coach E and Coach F are officially out of the race.

3 points Separate Coach D, Coach A and Coach C.

Not saying the actual points, because some crafty people could work out who is who.

Shows how tight it is and the quality of the applicants.

Bloody hell FML this is annoying lol

I'm a bit the same but hopefully the wait is worth it :-X

"Coach D" has dropped to 2nd and is on 46 points
"Coach B" has made a big comeback and is on 47 points
"Coach C" has droped to 4th and is on 48 points
"Coach E" has made a late charge, but is still out of the running on 55 points
"Coach F" was never really a chance, on 74 points.

So any of the top 4 can still win?

you should, since I was kind enough not to apply for the position, and give all you others a chance for it.

Zip, you aren't allowed to get a WXVs head coaching job, I need you for when I go away.

Sorry guys - what is this vote about? FF Member with the hottest GF?

Because last time I checked this was my team and I never actually gave up the team nor was I notified by anybody INCLUDING OSSIE that a vote was taking place.

so you want a co coach?

Just settle down and see what he says

Considering you weren't active when c4 disappeared you would have been sacked anyway...

Quote from: Boomz on February 26, 2013, 10:50:36 PM

I signed up as a Co-Coach Boomz, no c4 means I was the only one buddy  :-* And I was active anyway, I posted to see if anybody wanted to trade and I would of taken picks in the PSD but c4 was in and out and I wasn't sure what to do.

As if this vote wasn't interesting enough already, now some drama surrounding the whole thing :o

Q - As Boomz pointed out, I asked you if you wanted it full time and by your self. You said no. Not sure how you can imply I didn't ask.

For the last time, you have never been co-coach of this team. This has been said a few times. Once c4 announced you as co-coach but that wasn't put to a vote. Later, I asked c4 if he wanted to put it to a vote. He said no.

The times c4 was unavailable last year, I asked you to help with his team. EVERY time it was always responses like 'I'll see if I have the time' or 'let me know if you don't hear from c4'.

You were also free to apply. And didn't. You need to pay attention, and not rely on people telling you what is going on.

Q, if you want to be part of the Worlds, you have to part of it. At the moment, you only pop your head in every now and again and pretend. Pay attention to what is going on, and be an active assistant to someone.

Good stuff Ossie

Now we got back to waiting for pothead ;)

I said I'm happy to do it Full Time but not by myself... What's wrong with that? Unless you are looking for someone who will run the team on there own then fair enough...

I know I was allowed to apply - but after I stated that I was interested I expected to see a reply to my post or at least a PM. I checked the Worlds board daily to see if you did - I have no reason to visit this board... I'll admit that on a few occasions I did not do the right thing when c4 was gone, but on other occasions I did. If IIRC I did lodge our list, and sometimes c4 was in and out so I wasn't sure what I should do. (EDIT: And I ran tipping...)

"Q, if you want to be part of the Worlds, you have to part of it. At the moment, you only pop your head in every now and again and pretend. Pay attention to what is going on, and be an active assistant to someone."

So what you are trying to say is I don't do anything? Oh, because I don't post the final trades or press conferences means I do nothing? I've been at the Islanders since the start with c4, and have been doing a TON of behind the scenes work. This off-season, I was apart of all trade negotiations and had a big effect on most. One minute you want me running the team as an "assistant" when c4 is missing, the next I don't have any "part" ownership of the team?  ???

If you want a sole coach, then I'm not your man. I stated that. But if you are happy for me to pick or for another person to be voted in as a co-coach, then I'm fine. If you'd like me to enter the poll and re-vote, I don't mind. However, doing what I think is, kicking me out, doesn't sit that well with me.

QuoteI checked the Worlds board daily to see if you did - I have no reason to visit this board...

The opening post was 6 days ago, and you found this out last night.

How can you claim ownership of a team when you say you have no reason to visit the board that it is in? And that c4 didn't call the vote for you to be a co-coach (have half ownership of the team)?

Just sayin.

WXV have there own sub-board, that is what I am referring too. And that is true, he did not call for the vote - but I have been the assistant (in Ossie's books) since Day 1, and have had to run the team on multiple occasions. If Ossie wanted to put it too a vote without asking me, then I guess that is fair - but not even replying to my post or PM'ing me his thoughts/letting me know it would take place is a different story...

one more sleep  :P

Quote from: c4v3m4n on February 21, 2013, 12:04:08 AM
Dear Members of the WXV Community, Officials, Players and Fellow Coaches:

It is with great sadness tonight that I officially announce my retirement as Co-Coach of the Pacific Islanders, effective immediately.

It has been an honor to part of such a fantastic sporting organisation and even greater honor to have had a hand in the Islanders debut season.

Since day one, its been a road full of ups and downs, full of doubters and non-believers, but most importantly its been full of great and lasting memories.

This was by no means an easy decision but it was one that needed to be made for the best interest of the club and for the competition. I know that I was not putting in the adequate time required by a coach to run and manage this amazing team, and I am the first to agree that this is unfair to those coaches that are waiting in the wings looking for the opportunity to make their mark in this game.

To my co-coach, Master Q, my assistant coaches, my staff and to my playing squad, I apologise for not being there when I should have this pre-season and you deserve better.

To the fans and the greater WXV community, I apologise for not being more readily present and not living up to some of my promises. This pains me the most and I hope in time you'll forgive me.

Finally, to end on a good note, I would like to take this opportunity to thank WXV Administrator ossie85 and to all the other coaches for giving me this opportunity and I wish everyone involved in the WXV the best of luck for the upcoming season.

Though more importantly, I'd like to wish the Islanders more luck and will keep a keen eye on their future. GO ISLANDERS!

Yours sincerely,

c4v3m4n

Phasir c4 may have been calling Q his co-coach but he was never actually voted in as a co-coach by the rest of the world coaches. Therefore he was still just an assistant

AND THE RESULTS!!!!


Congratulations JAYMAN for taking the honours in an extremely tight battle :)

More details to follow

Well done Jay :-[

and Ossie, like 2 days ago Boomz was looking for a Co-Coach and i said i would if i didn't get this gig so looks like we need to vote again :)

Cool cool, when Boomz asks I'll put it to a vote

Congrats Jay

Congratulations jay! :)

Thanks guys. Really happy to get the gig

Kind of feel bad as there were so many worth applicants. Good luck for the future guys and I'm sure you will get a team soon!

I will get to the team thread later tonight. And I have a big announcement to make too ;)

I look forward to leading the Islanders for the years to come.

Congratulations Jay and all the best with the Islanders. 

Looking forward to your important announcement.

Congratz Jay, hopefully can do well with the Islanders after a few seasons with the current team!

Boooo!! Hissssss!!

Haha just kidding. Congrats on the job Jay. Only downside is there is now another crow supporter so I can snag the crow players late in drafts anymore, such as Riley in the rookie draft who is going to kill it this year!

Congrats Jay and welcome aboard :) keep it up guys im sure your chance will come.

Congrats Jay, well done mate  :)

Well done Jay!! Good luck with the Islanders!

Nice Jay!

Not really. He was going to step down if he got the job. We had an agreement.

Right so he still HAD 2 teams at the time off application

Hopefully next time!  8)
