Gee that is a pretty weak list! :) What a great challenge!
I'd be interested in co-coaching with or supporting an up and coming coach in the rebuild, if anyone is keen.
Feel sorry for whoever gets this team since they did have Sidebottom until the worst trade in history took him away!
what was the trade?
worse than joel selwood for liam shiels straight swap ?
Trade 110
Mexico gives: Pick 13, Pick 14, Pick 51, Daniel Kerr, Alan Toovey and Henry Schade.
Beijing gives: Steele Sidebottom and Pick 21
Wow!

It's all good, they were going for a rebuild so they didn't need the best young fantasy footballer in the league. (http://www.fromthepavilion.org/forums/images/smilies/icon_ninja.gif)

More about the team
This team isn't very good, but I think that in a couple of years we can be attacking the top. Our strategy will be simple, get in some mature players, while the younger guys mature. We will aim for a premiership by 2020.
Good start, like you both as candidates. :)
Lets hope we get a couple more applications to provide competition.
Good application. Would be very worthy winners :)
Guessing Sydney Rox turned the job down?

Thanks Guys
I would really like to apply seeing I had a big part in bringing all those kids in the draft, but don't want to run two teams by myself as I have made a commitment to side with the Jman :-\ Would be a great challenge though
team has loads of potential in a few years
i'd prob trade the next draft picks to try and strengthen the best XV a bit and just try to only get young guys though
Wow Kerr as captain?
Hi, I would like to apply for the postion.
The team looks weak at the moment, but there are a lot of young guns, that I reckon I could build the team around (Wines, Grundy, Kenendy, Mayes, Thurlow, Clurey and also the likes of Caddy and Kreuzer).
My best XV would look like:
D: Taylor (VC), R.Shaw, Guerra, Tapscott
M: Caddy, Kerr (DVC), Rosa, Shiels
R: Kreuzer (C)
F: Varcoe, Betts, Tarrant, Cornelious
UTI: Wines, Mitchell
EMG: Neale, Spangher, Glass
If I was in charge of this team I would be looking to do a full clean out and trade put ALL the older players and just go for youth as I think that's the only option. It's a pretty weak team but as I said, I think there are a few younger guys that will be stars in the future. They also lack a decent captain option.
I'm usually on for a few hours everyday and respond to PM's straight away so I'm easy to contact. I also love trading (just ask some of the boys in the AXVs, where I easily completed the most trades). I was able to transform a okay team in the AXVs to a top four contender through trading:
UAE Tigers XV - Before Jroo
B: Dempster, D.Grimes, Spurr, S.Wright
M: Deledio, Greene, Foley, Carrazzo
R: Sandilands
F: M.Wright, LeCras, Sylvia, S.Martin
U: O'Keefe, I.Smith
EMG: S.Hill, B.Martin, Douglas
UAE Tigers XV - With Jroo
B: Hartlett, Yarran, Harbrow, Dempster
M: Deledio, Griffen, Greene, CPearce
R: Sandilands
F: D.Martin, Sylvia, Higgins, Christensen
U: Ziebell, Knights
EMG: I.Smith, Douglas, S.Martin, Spurr, B.Martin, S.Hill
Here is my team thread in the AXVs
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,68409.0.html
Also my main focus is on SC and came in the top 500 overall last year and would love to be apart of the Worlds XVs.
I'm a head coach in the Asians XVs and assistants in the other three:
BXV - Hastings Hurricanes - MTTY
EXV - Spanish Stallions - Torpedo10
WXV - The New York Revolution - Sid
I already am a head coach of an XV team and fully understand if the postion is given to someone ahead of me if they don't have a XV team. Thanks! :)
Great applications JROO/nrich/Spinking

No problems Ossie, cheers for the update
12 teams have voted so far, 5 remaining (Maca24, Nails, JB-sHawks/koop, pothead and Ringo) remain (unless I've missed you).
Neither of the applicants have reached the magic 9 number that gives them the gig yet.

Thanks for the update Ossie, When will you shut off voting for the guys who haven't voted?
Thursday Night nrich - I'm hoping sooner!
13 votes in now (thanks Ringo) - still nobody with the magic 9 number.
(I won't say what the score is but you can work it out that it is either 8-5 or 7-6, eitherway is pretty close)
15 votes in! And do we have a lucky winner.....
.... NO!
The results are at 8-7 :/
Another one going down to the wire.
(Note: Will choose myself if a tie)
