  1. I'd ignore bt50 mate, he's the biggest bandwagoner on here. Clearly just follows the club due to all our success

  2. i would be starting genreau alongside brillante as our 8. he can battle it out with metcalfe. florin or cabrera can play 10. dont need griffiths when we have brillante and the kids will work their asses off to be the best. metcalfe was great last year and by all knowledge, genreau is even better

  3. And that friends, is how you respectfully disagree with each other Not sure what to make of Cabrera as a signing. South Americans are generally pretty hit or miss in this league as a rule and its difficult to judge whether we will play him as a 10 or a RW. Here's hoping.

  4. He's the Man In Black, the Johnny Cash of coaches, Walking the Line for us.

  5. Except you don't know what went down in either situation and neither do I. That said, obviously whatever the approach was it didnt work, but it certainly doesnt mean that theres no fault attributable to the players either. Hopefully you're spot on re the second point and this is the beginning of our golden era

  6. Ultimately for Joyce all his efforts would have led to a title if he were right, or at least good football to watch. Admittedly players should adhere to any rules they set for themselves. And I'm for players adhering to the coaches instructions. And if Bruno was an isolated incident I'd agree 100% with you. But with 2 coaches and multiple experienced and senior players exiting the club should be enough evidence to show just how poor a culture Joyce created. There are 2 sides to a story. But enough examples through the history of the world that it takes just 1 side to inevitably be the main perpetrator. I'll leave it at that and move on to talking about Javier.

  7. Nope. When Joyce arrived (June 17) Montemurro was chief assistant and departed late November 2017. Smart move.

  8. Think their only releasing 2 of the 3 kits tommorow by the previews, so red and white might be the 3rd 🤷‍♂️

  10. Disagree tbh. For one, the situation came about from Bruno not adhering to standards that playing group set, and then refusing to apologize or fall in line after the initial discretion(s). Now i totally disagree with those standards tbh, i think theyre far too restrictive in a league like this. And whilst the playing group might have set them, my experience with those sort of things is that they are designed in a way that players set things that the coach wants to hear, or what the players think the coach wants to hear anyway, not necessarily what people will actually be prepared to do in real life. Nevertheless, that was what was in place and he effectively shat on his teammates by refusing to even acknowledge he fucked up. Im sure they'd have been understanding with a simple apology, you know, alright you cocked up but who cares, do better next time kinda thing. The second point is that whilst we all might suspect some things in regards to yes men and how the conversations went down, at the end of the day we are totally speculating how that unfolded. Maybe Bruno wanted to fix it and sit down earnestly, maybe he turned his nose up at it. We don't know much, other than Joyce's track record and the associated assumptions, which ultimately imo shouldnt determine the outcome. It certainly wouldnt in a court of law. FWIW i don't believe Joyce wanted to be surrounded by Yes Men, imo he was happy to discuss and debate approaches, but i think once something was agreed upon then he was ruthless in enforcing that. The problem is that some of those things are agreed upon because they sound like the right thing to do, esp in a group context, and to speak out seems like you aren't committed. But they are ultimately too draconian in practice.

  11. And if the club has any ambitions of developing younger players these two should get a minimum of 10-15 games each this season. If not they will both leave at the end of the year.

  12. Agreed. And these guys are not "youngsters" on today's football standards - Genreau has turned 20 and Metcalfe will do so in November. They can hold their own in the A-League.

  13. I have a lot of faith in those youngster, rather see that last spot go to all in attacking player.
