The Coach with the most! Ep 8: The team spa now smells like a brewery

 Don't mind us, we're still in party mode after last week..

Who lives in the mystery email house?

Around 8 years ago I sent myself an email with just an address in it. No names, no details, just an address.  8 years on I'm wondering what made me send it to myself in the first place but more importantly, who lives/lived there at the time?

The Coach with the most! Ep 7: Farewell to the fell short seven

So the math last round let me down, pretending to be pirates didn't help and the threat of walking the plank has only been so-so in its effectiveness. How my team seems to be performing right now. What else is there to do other than cut a few players loose and hopefully find some free agent guns ready to fire? And I can thank the team lawyer Wallstreet for my latest idiotic idea.

It's all in the blowing action - let's breakout the airbrush!

While I try to work out what's happening with my dismal Supercoach season (truly, it's horrendous) let's get back into airbrushing! Something I briefly explored a little over four years ago before I had to sell up shop and move up north. (In the end I only ended up painting one car model with it and results weren't great!) Now that I've finally got the time, the space and more importantly another compressor it's time to break out the brush and shake some of this rust paint off!

The Coach with the most! Ep 6: The Stats attack

Given that nothing from threats of walking the plank to promising slices of supermarket mud cake have worked so far in generating a single win for team Almigo, it's time to break out the math. So I've poured some data into a spreadsheet, let it bake for a bit and sliced it open to reveal the cooling true facts. Namely who is doing their part and who is really dragging this team down, more than their game average would suggest. We're going to look at the stats and no I don't mean strength, dexterity or constitution. No saving throws here, just raw data. No more Dungeons and Dragons references from here on in, kay? I promise not to get too nerdy here, but let's do it!

It's super cold and war never changes in the garden

Thanks to a mate of mine at work sharing a great link, I've been having stupid amounts of fun searching for radio stations right around the globe (literally) and checking out what's playing currently on some of the most remote places to build a radio transmitter. One of my favorites so far is tucked away in the northmost settlement of the world, where just over 1000 people get to enjoy one hell of a Fallout-esque soundtrack coming from somewhere in town. Welcome to Radio Garden .

The Coach with the most! Ep 5: This is how a heart breaks

So here I am saying I'd never get rid of any Richmond players in my team and two are currently dragging me down (one hasn't even brought a single point to the table yet!) and so with a heavy heart it's time for my first trio of low scorers to dive back into the ocean of free agentism..  Gah. I'm going to need a strong drink after this one. But after three losses in a row, extreme measures are now called for. Gather round team, it's plank time.
