AXIOM

Hard to make an assessment on any player forward of the cb's under Joyce. His game style/plan not to mention the mental games he played with just about every player in the squad makes it hard to know the real capabilities of each player. We will see this season (with the players that are left) how good they really are. My mail is that the atmosphere around the place is 100% better.

Seems as if we may have a new assistant coach. Alain fiard has been reported to be seen around Melbourne.

So you think the shorts and Adidas copa's are gone when coaching his first game from the sidelines?

The problem i see is that we need 9-10, 18-19-20 year olds to be playing in our senior NPL squad with then a mix of 16-17 year olds in order to be competitive. Once these players reach this age and have not been offered a pro youth deal they either leave or are told to leave. The NPL senior youth only get paid $60-$100 per week, this doesnt cover the fuel cost to come to training. If we are looking at keeping these players that can help our NPL squad and have the chance to progress in our HAL squad we need to address this. Or we will see what we are seeing now, poor results, potential future HAL players leaving and future players not even coming at all to City. 3 years ago City's youth academy was the place to be and flying, now it could be the worst. If WU start a youth team we could loose even more players.

You know that fat guy that scored a shit load of goals for city. That really nice guy the was city's club icon. Come on you know who.

A few years ago our youth were always up there in the standings. We are almost last and will be surely relegated to state one. What has happened?

Let's hope so.

How much would havevhe be on?

Could it be club and players are waiting for a coach to be appointed?

Seems that with Richie gone Atkinson possibly moving Pierias gone we need a fullback. He has proven he can play so smart signing imo

You don't like him....clearly

PK will be next escorted out the door kicking and screaming.

Your just taking the piss.....right?

My point being old squadies was our problem this year. They take up a spot regardless wither they play or not. At one stage our bench was full of squadies. Metcalfe Najjarime Pierias najjar etc all sitting in the stands. Even at one stage Atkinson Mcgree and Wales either out or on the bench.

Not worth 2 bucks. Will only take a youth players spot, you know the ones that we can't keep.

Dear Bradley Hopefully you watched the GF. Please take note of how two champion clubs are run. In particular Sydney. It's clear what's made Sydney the most successful club in the league. Club culture. How is this created, it's done with good people, hard working, humble, with the right morals and values. Get this right and We too could be there soon. Three are gone which is a start. There is still more cancer that needs to be cut out of our club. You know who they are. It start now with you.

Yes will be second keeper. I have know doubt he would have known this before he signed. At city he thought he would be second choice behind bouza then Eugene was called in. Then bouza left and thought he'd be second behind Eugene. Then birra was called in. Probably had enough of the false promises and decided to leave. Good luck to the lad.

I agree no club should, thats why when he was told he would be first choice keeper and the highest paid keeper in the comp please sign with us.....then sit him on the bench for the whole season. Makes no sense to me either.

My advice would be make sure what you are promised you get then sign.

Let's see how it pans out. Mind you I hope I'm wrong.

Schenkeveld is gone and frenchy will take bruno's marquee spot. Please dont ask me to repeat myself lol.

I'm pretty sure all three are contracted for one more year. Stupid to let them go

Not really but considering the response it must have hit a nerve.

Bart is gone and the club will make florin marquee

So if you had 22 senior contracted players 8 of which were so called youth then having 14 senior players is not enough??
