Harrison Posted July 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Cabrera is wearing 8 and Genreau is his old 17. Also, Atkinson is 13, Najjarine is 21, Najjar is 30, Metcalfe 34, Iannucci 37. At a guess, Galloway 2, Windbichler 5, Brillante 6, Noone 12 and Bouzanis his old 20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Genreau's 17 and then promptly forgot it again! I'll make the changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windbichler wore 40 at his old club and Noone as a left footed winger would traditionally wear 11 which is free. Galloway 2 and Brillante 6 are pretty straightforward. Knowing Bouzanis he'll kick off and want 00 or something ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dream of a 1-11 roughly in the right order is slipping away, although Maclaren buggered it up when he took 29. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Jmac not changing to 9 this season is stupid. Crazy there may not be a 5, 7, 9 or 10 this season (numerically). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I'm just waiting for a few more days before making any changes. It seems there are still player(s) going and coming.

Mr MO Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) Okay so we clearly don’t do marquees but still the highest paid 2 players in the squad will automatically become marquee status as a result. What concerns me that a player who struggles here with the level of football, comes out of the lower leagues in Europe has become our top earner - that doesn’t sound right.

I'm afraid I don't believe this - and even if he is, it should be "a marquee" rather than "the marquee." There are numerous articles that clearly state that Jamie Maclaren will have marquee status in 2019-20.

Heartman Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Come on, this bloke is lucky he has an extra year on contract. There is no way he would deserve a contract extension on last seasons performances. The bloke barely deserved to start. Now I'm hopeful he can prove many wrong including yours truly but there is a reason he came from the French 2nd division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think he was as bad as some over the whole season (though there were points I'm on the record as being very critical) but one of our two best players? He's going to have to improve substantially to justify that. Somebody reckons he's good. It's going to be interesting... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes back to why they let the omnishambles run for two whole seasons. But we've been there many times and I'd rather just look forward now.

So he is suddenly much better when played 10m to the left or right. Good players show good signs anywhere close to their preferred position he doesn’t. He just isn’t marquee material and he sticks to his backloaded contract, good on him and poor form from the club to offer him that deal before even proven himself.

Yes, I picked up Berenguer's change last night at Oakleigh. I have no idea about any further signings. We could have a Guest player if we wanted, and as mentioned in another thread we can have up to nine (9) Scholarship players outside the cap. Under the cap depends on whether we have any room, and possibly also if we envisage anything in the mid-season window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
