To quote the great Austin Powers, "Danger's my middle name"
-
Welcome back Andrew, aka Mr. Danger!!
-
Andrew's free cuts are complete.
-
I would like it known that I am deeply offended by Matt's comment below. I am far from honourable
-
He’s back! In POG form!
-
We have a new owner of Ed Whitson Fightclub. Please welcome back the honourable Andrew who is returning from a gap year he spent moving interstate and raising the literacy levels of two Australian states.
-
Hi all, sadly Jason (Ed Whitson Fight Club) has informed me he needs to leave the league due to personal commitments. I was unable to return your message on Discord mate but all the best.
If anyone has a friend, family remember, or stranger on the street you’d like to nominate as a new manager for the league let me know. If no one reaches out to me I will look on slack and the community forums for a replacement.
-
Apologies for the illegal roster over the last two days. I've been travelling for work and haven't had a chance to look at things :)
-
Yes, please end the season now. Make the pain go away as soon as possible.
-
End the season now :)
-
4th place already, I always dreamed of one day being in the top 6, ever since I was a little boy.
-
That was smooth like butter Mt. Commish, many thanks!
-
Great job.
-
Thanks, Commissioner, for a really well run draft! Good luck to everyone, but mostly to me . . .
-
Draft: Complete.
Rosters: Finalised.
Commish: Thankful for you all
-
Hi all,
We are almost done, I will update rosters again in approx. 12 hours. At that point we should be very close to having only 2 or 3 teams left, I will give each of them additional nominations to finish things off quickly.
Much love, many thank
-
Everyone has been given an additional nomination.
-
Rosters have been updated
-
Hi all, I am considering increasing the number of active nominations by 1 each per remaining team, this will increase the number of active auctions and allow us to finish the draft sooner, we started later than expected and I have had a few managers reach out and request this. Unless I get strong feedback against doing so I will make the change in 24 hours.
-
It would be wonderful if we could all make some effort to pass on players we're out on to speed things up.
-
I had to manually assign Reese McGuire over Henry Davis on couch managers due to the latter not having C eligibility and breaking his draft.
Please ignore Henry Davis, if anyone was desperate for Reese McGuire let me know and I will make him available but I figured he was a handy solution for this problem
-
Durham Bulls have finished their draft, if anyone else wishes to finish early let me know and I can flag you as done early.
-
I have updated rosters again, please double check your teams are correct, we've had a few small inconsistencies (mostly with international FAs who've signed)
-
Thank you!

Great job. Thanks. That really helps.
-
I have imported auction results so far to everyone's Ottoneu rosters to help with updating the free agent pool for searching etc on Ottoneu
-
If you notice your keepers aren't correct please let me know and we can fix.
-
Everyone's in. I have 1 minor issue to resolve where one of Icaro's players is not in Couchmanagers for some reason, we will handle that but should be good to start. I have assigned everyone 1 nomination.
I'm going to start the auction now.
-
We are missing a team still in the draft room, I have followed them up, but for now we will postpone starting
-
Waiting on a few people to join the draft room still, if everyone can join between now and draft time I should be able to marry up keeper rosters and work out any initial problems and we can kick off not far off schedule.
-
Hi all, here's the draft room link, please join and name your team to match here so I can assign keepers before we kick off

Also very excited for our draft! Thanks Matt for taking over as Prime Commish and guiding us through the offseason! Again a big welcome to Dogs, Rebels and Bulls, glad to have you guys join us for our 3rd season! Anyone who hasn't joined yet here is a link to our Discord: https://discord.gg/cE4pEPmZ. It's quiet there now but it might come in handy as a quick comms channel during the auction.
-
Can't wait to get started. Thanks for putting in the work. Time is perfect for me over here. Kids are in bed at that point.
-

Sadly Kevin has reached out to me and indicated he now doesn't wish to return. If anyone has a friend who'd like to join us to take Kevin's place please let me know, otherwise I will find a replacement manager.
-
Thanks Marty, I sent him the help email too as I’m not sure where his issue is stemming from. I’ve also emailed Niv to see if he can add Kevin back and we can work out getting his fees paid once he is in, but I also don’t know what is causing the error on Kevin’s side….
-
All, I just talked talked Kevin (Old York Braves). He keeps getting error messages ("Oh, Snap, there's a problem") when he tries to reclaim his team. I'm going to send him the Ottoneu help email. Hopefully they will be able to help him. He definitely wants to stay in the league. Marty
-
Hi all, we are still waiting on Kevin to reclaim his team, I've reached out to him again as I know he was struggling with it but not sure what's up. Will give him some more time.
-
I've just sent some info to him to claim the team... I forgot Ottoneu automatically stripped managers from unpaid teams so didn't pressure him enough to renew, lesson for next time I think
-
Thanks for the heads up/confirmation, Marty. Please let me or Matt know if you need any additional help.
-
On the slow draft schedule, if we could avoid Feb. 27 as the kick-off I'd appreciate it. Otherwise good
-
Hey Everyone, I know Kevin (Old York Braves) does want to renew but was having some tech difficulties. I will see if I can help him with that today. Marty
-
Slow draft works for me. From memory those settings matched what we've done the last two years and things have gone well.
-
If anyone has any comments, criticisms or concerns please reach out via this message board or reach out to me privately if you can't say it in front of your league mates.
I will organise a date for the draft start - does anyone have any days from Feb 18 to Feb 29th they will be unavailable for the auspicious first round of nominations?
-
My suggested structure is as follows:
- 12 nominations to start with ( 1 per team)
- 24 hour timers
- 8 hour reset (if a new high bid is met under 8 hours remaining it will reset to 8 hours)
- when an auction ends the nominating owner will be able to nominate again
I think this gives us a good balance of speed and structure to stick with, we will not increase nominations as the draft goes on, and once a manager is done for the draft they will no longer
-
Hi all, it is time to draft!
We will be running our draft this year on Couch Managers again. I hope this is ok with everyone as it is the best way to run a slow draft. Things finished up relatively smoothly last year so I don't see any need to rush things and would like to suggest a draft start next week.
For ease of organising I will post the draft start date/time in UTC so we can all adjust for our timezones.
A few things to decide... cont.
-
🚨🚨 The draft date you see when you log in is just a placeholder for now - I was changing the league description and a default date kicked in
-
Hi everyone, thanks to most of you for renewing your teams. Reminder that the deadline for renewal and cuts is midnight Eastern Time on the 31st.
Trades will continue until the auction starts... is everyone familiar with Couchmanagers?
