Is that their genuine Twitter site?

MacLaren would surely be a marquee. Which means Bruno is gone, sorted.

Well that's news!

Except that I'm not certain what if anything is going to happen.... Could be sound and fury signifying nothing...

Wales will go back to the wing when we actually have a striker...

We don't need yet another midfielder. And he's on $6m US a year. We could buy a guest attacker for the money he'd cost.

The German is old, slow, overpaid and not an attacking player. He's here for the tennis with his missus. I'd love Nabbout.

We live most of the way to Geelong. AAMI is viable, albeit a bit of a pain, largely due to the Richmond to Southern Cross bit. Move it to Casey we're not making it at all, and we'll be watching our live football at West Melbourne.

You do wonder whether these guys have any familiarity with the basics of risk assessment. Assess what could happen, the likelihood of it happening, and the impact of it happening. Do what you can to mitigate the risk and plan what you'd do if it actually happens. And in all of that, no one has looked at the risk of our only senior striker getting the hump or losing form? Mitigation, have back up for every position in the squad... That's where the problem started. Too many defenders and midfielders on the payroll that we don't need and barely ever use, but almost no attacking players. And two of that very limited number have in some way got the hump and can no longer be used...

Age story reckons this was initiated by Glory, so that would follow. But also indicated that City weren't keen.

A case of believe who you want to believe. HS convinced of the Keogh swap deal, Age quoting City sources which pour cold water on the idea. However, something is happening, and I'm pretty convinced our new acquisitions will be forward players.

Or read this forum. That's why I'm here - to find out first what is actually going on...

Indeed they are, though there appear to be a fair few willing to pay that premium for a membership. And like you, I'd never be paying $70 for a ticket. But then I've always preferred to be behind the goal anyway...

I'd agree that the price differential is unhelpful. Either end behind the goals is relatively cheap, but there's plenty apparently willing to pay the premium?

There's no shortage of space behind the goal if you want to sing. And watching A League here is a damn sight cheaper than watching even League 1 in the UK.

I suspect Brandan was a strategic move to free a visa space for McCormack. It all fell apart when Villa pulled the plug at the last minute.

Thank you Aardvark for the line about Ned Zelic making noises in the background... That's an image worthy of a David Squires cartoon.

In effect he will have 'asked for a transfer'. If we hold his contract there would need to be some sort of negotiation on a transfer fee. That will get sorted if he wants to go. No point keeping him in that situation.

He'd surely have played. He would have been the natural late replacement for Vidosic.

This ref is giving me the yips. He could do anything at any time.

Fabulous start...

Sunday afternoon granted, but nice weather and on the back of good form...

We're the first to work it out and the last to be told... Ever thus for the paying fans. We outlast players, owners and staff, but we're always the mushrooms.

Well that seems certain that he is gone. Eventually the club will get round to telling us what we already know. We'll hardly miss him, he's never played beyond the odd cameo. Can only hope the incoming will be worth it...

Ninth of twelve in the Scots Prem. He'll probably be very useful for them, and it's back in his manor. All the best big man, we still love you.
