The only reason I'm not wrapped with it is that we're having a great few months for the youth team and if we're going to get promoted we'd have to be perfect from here on out and a coaching change can't be great for that.

Gives me slight Gerhardt vibes from the video.

I think this was an active decision by LaTrobe to remove the facilities FYI - there wasn't really an option from the FFV or FFA to do anything about it.

Kerrin Stokes signing at Adelaide City - I think if he gets a bit of gametime we're likely to see him pop back up at A-League level sooner rather than later.

So we end up in Pot 3 - the other Australian team will potentially end up in Pot 4, it's slightly galling that due to how inept we are as a league to prioritise this competition, Japan, Korea, China and Thailand don't have a team as low as Pot 3.

The thing that confuses me about the Jamie Young signing is that the bloke is seemingly getting worse with playing the ball out as he ages, given we're unlikely to have the control we enjoyed over the past few seasons due to player turnover, I'm genuinely curious to see if we're still going to play it around at the back the same way.

Western United's NPL strategy is significantly different to ours - Dylan Pieras has turned out for them, for example.

Nope, Nope and Yope.

Vaguely interestingly, Will Sparrow kept his spot over Niewenhuizen this week and made some ripper saves.

Given that bloke has entirely fucking gone off the deep end I'd probably avoid him. In for Samuel Souprayen apparently, 34 year old defender.

Given how good the recruitment has been over the past few years, I'm very curious to see how they do given the massive turnover of this year.

We're in for Alessandro Lopane from WSW - would be a ripping signing I'd think, he's been ace from what I've seen.

Ah the joy of people arguing about seat allocations. How I've missed you.

Did the club charter a flight for all those who thought they were going on a bus? Or is this just a rumor going around. Superb work if so.

Ashley Young has been linked with the club - a bit surprised to see we're getting linked with 37 year olds, that hasn't been our move recently.

We've got two weeks to have a whine, which is dangerous for some members of this forum.

Shockingly, ticketek isn't working for me.

I believe I might be incidentally boycotting this game as I can't get a ticket back from Perth on Friday early enough.

Tommy Glover apparently on his way to Wrexham!

Medin Memeti got three goals for the NPL2 team at the ripe old age of 15. Woof.

I think we've been superb the last few off seasons, so I'm not worried as I might typically be, the club seems to have finally sorted out it's recruiting problems (I'd suggest trying to get ~4 players a season, instead of the 7-8 we used to seem to need is the main cause of this)

Leckie is such different quality to anyone in the park this season.

Bos looks genuinely worried by Pierias
