Interesting fact: We are only one of four HAL clubs; City, Brisbane, Sydney and Jets that have not been knocked out by an NPL team. (Brisbane have a horrible cup record anyway, have only played an NPL team once. The only time they have won)

I looked too at that but his profile didnt seem very 'complete'. Who can edit Transfermarkt profiles?

Wouldn't even know what they used haha ----------- Cairns FC are folding. Not surprised, paying $2k up there for a rep team that only plays a few games per year. It's unorganised and gets no funding to due Nrl and AFL taking it all

If Galekovic is in goals vs Newcastle, then I would expect Bouzanis is leaving.

I would think Victory fans are the type to enjoy living in a swamp?

We still havnt played yet, ill be saving my laughing until after we beat Newey

Firstly is Tasuku Sekiya Australian?? It all comes down to the clubs decision making. If we sign Ikon (plus the youth we have) I wouldnt waste a spot on LW, where CB seems the most likely for one. Hence we would have a spot free. Now it comes down to accounting, squad needs and player personal preference. 1. Do we max out our cap on our 4th VISA so we can sign the best NPL (VISA?) player outside of it? 2. Where would we need a NPL player? He would just make it on the bench 3. Will the player be happy to stop being the #1 player at his club, to be a bench warmer at a HAL club? Salary would be a whole other issue. If I was a 25+ year old playing NPL, I would think I would have a regular fulltime job ($30k-$60k) plus getting paid another $10k-$20k by the club. If I go join a HAL club, I would need to leave my job and I could be dropped after a season.

Now we just win our RD16 game and we can really rub it in.

Its pre-season

Yep. Mature Age Rookie

Germano scores for Avondale

How the fuck does Redmayne save penalties now?

Down 2-0 now Cairns

I dont think he even had a job outside of Football, plus he is still quite young

Same reason as most NPL guys. Job Pay + NPL Pay > A League minium salary. Even if they got paid the same, some might not want to warm a bench if they were the best player in their NPL team

Archieballs scores for Avondale

Victory down 1-0 after 10mins

Drain the swamp Season over Sack Joyce Clone of Manchester Bring back red & white etc. No need to stress its just a pre-season game.

Ah the annual intra-club pre-season match

My sister in Brisbane is a binge drinking country girl

5. is more so 'the more supporters, the more chance to advertise our brand' Yea no different to Mooy. I hope Atkinson has an even better season but stays for a 3rd. As for Genreau (unless his loan goes tits up) I cant see him playing for us again.

Too bad we missed out on Mat Simon...

I think with CFG in mind, this would be the club's goals this season In no order: Discover/Sign a profitable young player to Manchester (Atkinson, Genreau, ... ?) Qualify for ACL (marketing reasons) Silverware Finish top 3 Average attendance (excluding derbys) above 10k I dont think there will be any requirement anymore for 'exciting brand of football'. I dont mind this, as long as we win. In my opinion, I loved winning the first four games last season.

Last I heard Gulum was back in Turkey but there has been no announcement yet of his new club. From your post, we would still have a visa spot free. IMO that should be filled. Can we find a VISA who is better then Ikon or Gulu/McGowan? I think we should be able too, but I dont know what the club's opinion is.

Nope
