My concern is that the longer this drags on, then the shorter the time players have to integrate themselves into the club and JVS's game plan. And still no contracted goalkeeper.

Shahanga Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 What's the thought re-putting Garuccio in midfield jw?  Is that because the club website has? Given he's almost never played there I always thought that was a bit weird on the club's part.  He's surely either a winger or a fullback.

Match fitness or are you supplementing the reduced wage you'll be getting at City with Avondale's match payments?Also, what did you end up doing with that Melburnians scarf I gave you in Sydney?
