Talk Fantasy Football

IF the tournament can be shown to be competently run (with some Oz coaches dubious because of an incomplete website, a changing of dates and an undecided ruleset) then I'll help to organise team Oz.

Here's the current 'likelies':

Bevan (Brian Horton)
D'Arquebus (Daniel Hutchison)
Sangraal (Bill Murphy)

and maybies:

Doubleskulls (Ian Williams)
OzJesting (Tommy Dean)

I'll keep working on it and keep this thread updated. Remember, the more organised the world cup appears, the more likely a team from Oz is to attend.

Unfortunately it looks like I won't be able to make the WC

I'm going to be in the UK next year - but almost certainly not in October.

As noted, OzJesting is a 'maybe'. Potentially interested.

I hope the new annuncement about teams will help at least some of you guys to come over

Well I can make it after all. I've started a new thread over on the NAF to track people who are interested.

In that case, Ian , you can wear your Blackshirt again.... it's not about countries...

Maybe I'll save the Blackshit team as my plan B. Can't you get 2 ECBBL teams together?

I will have to assume that's a mistype there I know I am famed for drinking 20 pints of Guiness on one night at a bb tourney but that's taking it a bit far.....

Lol!
* Does the new nickename dance*

It does indeed look like we have a team with both D'Arquebus and Shasta McNasty indicating they are keen!

However, our secret weapon Bevan is out

Hey Babs,

Kransky has shown interest as well when I've discussed it with him. Bend his ear and direct him to the details and I think you can probably count him in .

http://www.thenaf.net/index.php?name=PN ... pic&t=3466 has the list of people I'm maintaining now.

http://www.thenaf.net/index.php?name=PN ... pic&t=3418 is the formal annoucement/rules etc

and various other posts/Q&As etc

Please add me to the list as a "probable" (assuming a Kiwi coach is allowed to play for team Oz).

Cheers

Update:

With D'Arquebus
Kransky
Shasta McNasty
Thomsy
all in - we look pretty positive.

Here's the list as I type for those too lazy to hit the link Doubleskulls has added:

Brother_Tycho
D'Arquebus
Doubleskulls
Gus
Kransky
lord_shambles
OzJesting
Sangraal
Smeborg
Thomsy

Woot! There's plenty there. Looks like we have an Australia and Australia A happening!

We need to get a rough idea of numbers as soon as possible so can anyone interested in being in team Australia please contact me asap if you aren't already on my mailing list?
