Le Hack

Aurelio is growing on me. Watched a few of his presses and impressed me with his honesty and knowledge and his willingness to give players praise and also a kick when they deserve it. Also seen a couple of his pre game addresses to the players and they do give you a sense of him geeing up the players. I reckon his half time address on Sunday would have seen some players cop an earful. Also like that he's not micromanaging the game but also says a bit during the game. I'm thinking he's the middle ground between Rado who was too laid back and PK who was too intense

3 Sakhi 2 Talbot 1 Antonis Jamie Young had a couple of very good saves too. I thought one of Talbot's better games this year but he really needs to sort out his kicking for goal.

Born in 67 so I know that's ancient! The point is that Tilio should have looked at a club where he'd have more of a chance of first team football. I mean he had Arzani as a template on what could happen at Celtic although by the same thinking Rogic was also a positive example. I just felt at the time it wasn't a great fit as he's more Arzani than Rogic

Harper was banging on about him. Automatically makes me think he's shite. Unfair on the guy though

Played 90 mins against Qatar, bench for Saudi. He was released by WSW and Jets picked him up on a free. He's not really tall. Transfermarkt has him listed at 189 cm which is around 6 foot. Saying all that he has a goal to his name this season and is only 21 and played mostly 90 mins of every game this season but that might just be Jets got no one else.

Not excited at all. It's Mark Natta for God's sake. Reject from Victory and WSW and playing with Jets currently. There's a picture of him in the dictionary under ordinary.

Well Tilio would only be a loan till June and then back to Celtic so that makes no sense. I can't see where he fits in unfortunately, if it was Bos or O'Neill or Atkinson yeah because that's areas we could fit players. But attackers is not the area we need filling in

Ok Round 10 saw Arslan the overwhelming BOG with 31 votes, second was Jmac on 18 and third Jakolis on 7. At Round 10 mark, Arslan is leading comfortably with 17 votes. Behich and Jakolis both on 9 and Sakhi on 7 with Souprayen fourth on 6 votes.

Both wingers in Jakolis and Natel were very good tonight and Mazzeo's little cameo was very good too. Where does that leave Nabbout mainly and Lecks?

3 Arslan 2 Maclaren 1 Natel Jakolis, Sakhi, Good, and Behich unlucky in a complete team performance

Since today's match day, Round 10 MVPs are: three to Aziz with 11 votes, two to Tolgay with 5 and one to Samuel with 4

3 Behich 2 Souprayen 1 Natel

Thanks for voting. Aslan the lion gets the three with a combined 12 votes, Jakolis two with 7 and Curtis gets his first of the season with the one from 3 votes. Lopane the only other one to get votes.

Could we get some votes in for last round. Only one lot sent in so far

Is it just me or do you think they've abandoned using the full back who is not attacking as a second DM? Is this because they're trying to tailor the game plan to Aziz and Talbot who don't quite grasp it? I'm a little perplexed by this since Jamos an assistant coach and was rather an expert on this. Surely this would help Ugarkovic provide cover for the slow CBs

3 Arslan 2 Jakolis 1 Lopane

Roud 7 v Glory saw Arslan as MOM with 15 votes, Souprayen second with 7 and Sakhi one vote with 6. Round 8 votes are open

Leckie hamstring and Maclaren ankle ruled out of Socceroos, so probably not playing this game. I'd like to see Caputo start but I think they may play Natel and Arslan up front

Another test to see where we are at. CCM like us started poorly but seem to have got on a roll the last couple of weeks. This could be anything but if we want to stay in contention it's a must win. CCM will have a days less rest from their ACL game. Would like to know if Leckie and Maclaren deemed fit enough for the game

I agree with Lopane he's a dud and should not have been signed, I would argue that Antonis should have come on instead of him. Especially since Lopane caused the goal on the weekend. But maybe Vidmar wanted to give him some time to regain trust. Whatever. Galloway you could argue also should have been put on before Politidis however Galloway was also ill last week maybe he hadn't trained maybe he wasn't fit enough. Who knows. I just think asking for Vidmar's head this early is just over the top. We've had one coach go so I don't think it's the coach but it's the players or the make-up of the squad which is the problem

Vidmar put on Maclaren, Galloway hardly kids, Lopane who's meant to be decent, and Politidis who is a kid and also almost won a penalty. I think a lot of you just want to spit the dummy because things aren't going our way this year. Toughen up for God's sake. Vidmar has inherited a squad which Petrillo put together which is too top heavy in over 30s so they can barely play the game out, and the mid 20s guys are pretty much plodders. And the kids not as good as previous years.

We will make Top 6 as we have a better list than most but not all this season. It is a case of all the things you mentioned. New players not gelling as we had something like 7 first team players and a couple of youngsters leave this season. New manager being appointed after old one seemed to lose the dressing room or just got too hard. Remaining players from last year seemingly dropped in form or injured. New players older and slower or not as good a standard as the ones who left. Our younger players don't appear as good as previous years. Some other teams improved in particular our derby neighbours Victory and also Macarthur, Wellington and Brisbane. How far we actually go in the end is dependent on improvement in all of the above and also there is the January transfer window which may/ may not be used

Bit late but Round v Newcastle saw Arslan with the three off 10 votes, Jakolis the two with 9 votes and Sakhi and Behich both one with 3 votes each.

3 Arslan 2 Souprayen 1 Leckie

Nope $40 adult, $20 kids, $30 concession. Me and my son had to pay $80 for the Kofu game. I'm not sure why the extra $3 for this one, is that a booking fee? Possibly they may not have electronic ticket system at Princes Park so they may have to scan manually
