  1. I'm seeing double here, four O'Neills
  2. Agree on Glover. Could be a big redemption arc this season, especially given he's out of contract at the end of the season. The thing I really noticed was how strong our front press was. Last season it'd be JMac isolated like 90% of the time but last night we regularly had 4-5 players closing down the Western half backs. Idk if it's sustainable but I loved it. PK deserves credit because our game style really did look different.
  3. That was the best season opener performance I can remember from us, I expected us to be good but honestly not that good. Western were lucky not to lose that by 3-4 goals in the end. New signings look terrific and the core squad look as hungry as I've seen them. Great cause for optimism, only real concern is the injury front but I'm comfortable with the depth of our squad for now.
  4. Legend. Unbelievable post-match presser, and definitely has the potential to become our best ever import.
  5. Bos will probably play LB as Jamo will probably have to fill in centrally alongside Lam.
  6. I'm optimistic af about this season and happy to cop whatever happens. Top 4 would be great given how much the other contenders have improved their squads.
  7. Al Hassan Toure is an absolute chad for celebrating his goal the way he did in front of those racist, fascist fucks.
  8. This is lacking too much hysteria for mine, please delete.
  9. Jeez wouldn't be pre-season on the forum without a deluge of doom and gloom, would it?
  10. This guy comes off as such a winner. I know we all hate Besart here but there's no denying he had that hard-edged winning mentality that we as a club lacked in the past for so many years. Valon seems to have the same edge with an even better CV, so consider me excited as fuck for this signing. Just fingers and toes crossed he stays injury-free.
  11. Can't fault the club, if Valon gets over the line it's a terrific transfer window. The midfield was clearly the most deficient area of our squad and we've rectified it with three hard-nosed Europeans, all at a really good age and with experience. How we go throughout the season really falls on PK now.
  12. Antonis in the right environment is one of the better Australian midfielders in the league. If he's cheapish, I'd get him in a heartbeat. We wanted more midfield depth and he certainly fits the profile.
  13. I'd still argue that we need a new GK after Glover's wild inconsistencies last season but evidently, it seems like we'll persist with him (which is fair enough given his age, skill ceiling and contract status). Outside of that the squad looks strong, though I'm definitely in favour of signing a luxury bums-on-seats playmaker as VDV is way too much of an unknown for now. Agree that Kisnorbo is the club's biggest problem atm and it's such a shame the same old predictable gameplan, weird non-communication and the micromanaging from the sidelines all still exists.
  14. I'm not alarmed so to speak, just disengaged lol. At least there's a competitive fixture to look forward to now.
  15. Has this been our worst off-season ever in a transfer sense? Literally nothing to be excited about with clear deficiencies in the squad.
  16. Signed for Macarthur. A pity that he's not with us - you just hope the club did its due diligence.
  17. Looks like a Kevin De Bruyne from Wish Still excited though
  18. Kusini Yengi has departed Adelaide, with hints that he'll move to develop at another A-League club. Wonder if he ends up here.
  19. yikes we really did just play straight into Western's hands, didn't we Reminds me of that 1-0 loss to them where we registered about 25 shots to their 1 and we lost lmao
