given our game against bentleigh, this should be a cake walk. we are only going to get fitter and better with the gameplan. love a good lineup so here is how i think we should set up booozanis atkinson rich good galloway brill florin luna cab jmac noone i think we should try with our 'on paper' best team. see how florin interacts with the fast front 4. ill trust luna to pick up the is non existent running in florins game haha. with metcalfe, one of najjar/ wales/ ramy and perhaps rostyn to come on.

Are you serious? Most footballers play for financial security and Australia is very low on that ladder. If you are a City Academy player being sent here would feel more like punishment than a reward. It would mean you are underachieving.

The last thing we want is complacency against NPL opposition in a cup competition. We'll get knocked over by nothing to lose commitment. None of these games are easy. Having said that, I've growing confidence in the capabilities of this squad, and we'll prepared we should fear no one.

Not in April it wouldnt be. It'd probably be quite pleasant actually.

Genuinely curious to see how we manage to fuck this one up

@Harrison I'll reinstate the asterisks and the dates of those lists later today, plus the date of the most recent list - I had thought that they were no longer necessary, but clearly they are. Like you I am 100% certain that Metcalfe, Najjarine, Najjar and Iannucci are senior contracted players. I agree that it would be good to know more about the youth players. And for sure, out-of-date information should be deleted from the club's web-site. However, in recent weeks I've realised just how many young players there are donning City colours, so it would be a big task to keep information on every one of them current. New players emerge almost every week. For example, the average age of a recent City NPL team was just 16-and-a-half. So IMO it is not reasonable to keep tabs on everyone, but what is reasonable is that what the Club does publish should be up-to-date.

Glad to see Mooy will be playing in the Premier League again this season! https://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/mooy-linked-with-stunning-deadline-day-move-to-ryan-s-brighton

I would take another ffa Cup and top 3 finish this season at the moment.

You might be in luck. I've spent the last 7 weeks on The Northern Mariana Islands (AKA Northern Pothole & Food Stamp islands), I reckon I'm due another Travel Thread write up. If I get time I'll a do full write up of my recent return to South America too. I had an even worse time this trip. (Spoiler alert: I shit my pants on a Peruvian bus).

Since Victory have ended negotiations with troisi should we try and get him, think he would be player we are missing, florin isn’t the guy to do it and luna looks more of a wide player, thats where Erick was playing him nevertheless.
