I was there. Final score was 2-0 to City, but I find it a difficult match to assess. We fielded very much what I'll call an "experimental" side. I was disappointed with all of the "senior" players except Kilkenny and perhaps Bruno and Fitzy. Galekovic didn't have a lot to do, but looked very competent as we would expect.The back line was very ordinary indeed - Muscat, Malik, Tongyik and Jamieson. Jamieson came off in what looked like a precaution - he may have suffered a minor strain. Malik was poor - the guy turns his back in the tackle, which I hate. If I was reffing I'd have the guy off the field pretty quickly. Brattan did not impress, and someone's asking what position we'd play Mauk in if we sign him, and there's my answer to to that - sign him instead of Brattan. The two youngsters Genreau and Najjarine - I take it that the latter was wearing 28? - worked hard. Genreau is bulkier and more effective at this stage. Najjarine is very light - good skills but easily knocked off the ball. We weren't as effective at moving the ball quickly as against Oakleigh, mainly because of Tongyik, Malik and Brattan. Cavallo, Crowley and a couple of other youngsters came on in the last 10 minutes- Bruno and Brattan went off - and only then did we really overrun Bentleigh with two goals to Fitzy in the final five minutes. We deliberately got there early, to have a good look at the warm-up. I'll say this. If we don't give the boot to the assistant coaches such as Valkanis and Montemurro then Wazza is going to have a hard time winning anything. These guys took the warm-up, and there's no discipline at all. No focus. Most of the shots at goal went high and wide or past the post, and these guys just stand there talking. So surprise, surprise, what does Brattan do during the match - as mentioned above puts the ball into the car-park. And doesn't care a fuck about it. Best thing was that in the end the youngsters stood up, ran like hell, chased back and tackled, cut the Bentleigh defence open and got us over the line. IMO Wazza will be pleased with that.6 points

I don't understand the sudden faith in Mauk's abilities. He was ok with us in his last half season but hadn't cemented a starting spot. Then he suddenly looked really good when he went to Adelaide. That was of course a championship winning team. Everyone knows that individuals look better when surrounded by a team that is clicking and working for each other. And then last year he tanked in Europe. If he joins us good, he clearly has potential. If not I couldn't care less, there should be similar quality we can source from somewhere (or through a visa spot). Troisi is twice the player Mauk is.2 points

Maliks presence anywhere near the starting eleven is what bothers me.2 points

Favourite tweet read here at my desk in Germmany.... Brattan musn't have put his weight over the ball ha+. Fitzy for Johnny Warren medal!2 points

Pleased to see Fitzy in form. Didn't get the recognition from the previous regime, but for me a key player.2 points

Can confirm this problem has been completely solved by no sugar. I tried one at maccas a couple weeks ago and I honest to god thought they'd fucked up given me a regular coke. Then I just had another on the drive home from work and nope, taste the same as a fortnight earlier. Firmly in the no sugar>Zero camp now.2 points

Would be more then happy to take mauk back. He is twice the player Malik is (We got screwed badly on that trade) and attitude aside, is a very good player2 points

Mauk is a player who is really crying out for the right coach. Hopefully we have one and he'll thrive, if not he'll be playing NPL in a few years because he'll burn all his bridges2 points

I'm not sure i think Mauk is definitely on bar or better than O'Neill or Brillante but he definitely is capable at the level. IMO Caceres wouldnt have been on any more than 200k, and i suspect that would be more than enough to get Mauk done given he really only has one decent season to his name and flopped heavily last year in Europe. IMO the midfield will consist of: Kilkenny Mauk/Brattan Troisi with Mauk and Brattan both available to rotate in the CAM and/or CDM roles for subs. Arzani, Malik and Genreau also provide midfield cover.1 point

Seemed reluctant to shoot, unlike the Oakleigh game where we pulled the trigger whenever there was a gap, might have been down to tactical instruction though.1 point

I don't think it's obvious which part is body and which is sleeves. I think it could very easily be red sleeves with red and white striped body1 point

Yeah show has a real SJW feel this season, also what's with them trying to make us vomit with every fucking Sam scene.1 point

Haha yeah that was really poorly worded. If she had of simply stated that the actual prophecy was in regard to a ruler or monarch rather than a specifically mentioning it was a non-gender pronoun it would've sounded ok, but that just came across as pandering to the current SJW trend.1 point

Seriously. If you want the best meal on the planet then head down to your local deli with a tenner. Thick crust euro rye bread with a 2 inch thick butter spread and 3 layers of hot hungarian salami. ...and no its not just a fucking cured meat sandwich. Its life. End of discussion lads.1 point

On the web-site you have to go to "City Shop", log in there, and then click on "My account" in the top left-hand corner of your screen. Whilst on the subject of memberships, has anyone checked their "Citizens Points" lately? I have had no points credited to my account since 10th November last year.1 point

That's the exact point. A quality made sauce. Proper cheese and a top notch ham or protein is the makings of great pizza. But above all the base is what determines a pizzas quality. Too many ingredients is a recipe for disaster (literally)1 point

Ljubo Milicevic Instagram on Ernie Merrick Ok so here it is!Hello Bankruptcy!Ha!I can't bullshit myself any longer,I live by the no fucks given mantra,I've never taken a backward step,ever,to anyone..I would rather die standing than live on my knees..I absolutely despise bullies,people in positions of power who pick on the vulnerable and that's why in recent weeks I've told a few stories relating to certain people because they have essentially been shit humans!Well..This guy is second to only one person I've come across in football,as the shittest,nastiest,meanest and weakest fucken humans to be involved in the game!The way he has abused his role over the years,picking on kids,friends,my team mates,telling them such things as "you will end up working in a factory"because he didn't like that this guy was a popular player with the fans..to"you're going to rot in the second team for a year" because this other guy wanted to leave due to no game time..To continually bullying all those around him and making the environment simply depressing,full of fear and self doubt!When in reality he is the fearful one..so much so that when I was in a cafe and spotted him with his wife..the time came to pay the bill,rather than pay himself he sent his wife to do his bidding because I was situated right next to the cash register and he would have had to come into contact with me!You see, he could never take me on,he always sent others into battle,his lips would tremble when he got angry and I would simply stand there thinking to myself "Who is this guy and how the fuck did I end up here"?! Don't get me started on Aaron Healy!Fuck me!How do these guys get jobs in football?I wish @newcastlejetsfc all the best but you have let the club be manipulated yet again.Jobs for the boys!When are you going to learn?!I really hoped that the club had turned a corner but no..you brought in the council guy from down the road to take the piss!Oh well,so how well did Ernie do with unlimited funds at @wellingtonphoenix ?that's right,you can't have success there,it's too hard with the travel! Ha!Fuck off!Ricky Herbert with half the cash got his team to a semi-final! THE KID WINS!FINISH HIM!FATALITY! 🙏🏾❤️🤙Ajde Jebote1 point

Ive followed the NPL for a while and I have noticed City tend to get the team up the ladder by stacking it with more experienced players, then when they are safe on the ladder and there is no way they can be relegated, they take out the quality and bring the younger players from the u20's up to give them an opportunity. I really don't think City care if the team is promoted or not, just as long as it is not relegated. Example: last week they had a win over Springvale White Eagles. If you saw the game they brought Metcalfe in (who hasnt played for ages as hes been up with the first team) and he absolutely dominated. I dont think they wouldve won that game either if he wasnt in there. Then on the weekend against GVS, they took him out and they lost, but they obviously didnt care as the team stayed 3rd on the ladder. Just my opinion1 point

The amount of complaining about the Sansa rape scene in the show was ridiculous. Putting aside the stupidity of getting offended by an evil character committing an evil act in a TV show, surely a child being burned alive by their parents is a significantly worse act than rape.1 point

Update on my life: Facebook Marketplace is fucking fantastic for weeding out retards. Jumped on tonight and saw a decently priced and modded vy SS ute, figured it would've been driven with some spirit coz the seller was some muztech/arab gym self type from the northern suburbs. Didnt quite expect videos of himself trashing the complete fuck of it. Sadly not the only spastic selling his 3th trashed car in a calendar year with profiles looking like an episode of "blokes world". ----- EDIT: Actually that reminds me of a "TTIM". I was watching an episode of "blokes world" like 10 years ago and they had a bit where some 45 year old crack whore would pole dance for 5 minutes. I guess it was an "ad" or something for a strip joint (can't remember). Anyway she was sloppier than taco bill cubicle but being in my early 20's I still cracked a sneaky and decided to knock a quick one out before bed. Surprisingly her snaggy tits and cottage cheese arse were no match for my giant forearms and low self esteem. I was just about to wrap things up when she finished the strip tease and it went straight to "robbo" whatever the fuck his name was, in a garage working on car, ultimately ruining the wank. If the timing wasn't bad enough already, my old man started walking down the hallway and into the living room. Managed to blanket the situation in time and he only popped in to grab something and left. Afterwards I realised I was only about 2 seconds away from being caught by my dad wanking to an over weight bogan changing the oil on 4x4. TTIM: Weird wanks.1 point
