CAHILLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!

2006... Mmm...

Based on?

Quite obviously Cahill. If it is and you're right... Cover your holes

How long have you had the Cahill pic as your signature?

We already have our International marquee anyway. Only the uneducated would assume that. All good. May be Aussie marquee obviously. Still think nothing will happen.

Has to let Archie butt rape him. Too far?

You're 100% certain that we've signed someone - yet you don't know who it is. Going out on a limb here. Jeepers.

"But nothing come of it". Geez, give it a spell kid. What other club is going to offer you what we can. If he doesn't want to play here he is deluded.

as stated in the article above, it backs up what i heard. I hope we do sign at least another striker, IMO we have to throw everything we've got at this season, the club has done very well recruiting this off-season, let's hope they don't take short cuts now. Nope, it really doesn't back you up at all. "Recruiting a striker is a priority" cannot be conveniently ignored. Not sure why you've got your panties in a knot about us not signing any more players. We'll definitely sign a striker, even if we don't fill our fill our visa slots.

But that's not promising though is it? What a massive unnecessary risk, given that we NEED a striker. Normally I absolutely love your input mate, but I reckon D-Mac, Hoff and the history of us having old fuddy duddies has deluded your thinking on this one. I agree it'd be good to get a young aussie with potential, but not this dude.

As an avid Orlando Magic fan, and a dedicated Heart fan, it's fair to say that #believeinMagic is going to get an absolute plastering on my twitter. Happy days.

I'll back you in here Cactii. That's actually a decent call.

Yes, because those two would be enough to field two new teams. They could be called the Gold Coast Garcia's and the Lucas Eel's...

NONE of those players ADD anything to the A-League. They are WORSE than what is currently there. Hence, two new teams would DILUTE the League. It doesn't get much simpler than that. You are actually agreeing with me with your logic.

The fucking Oracle has spoken.

There are many state league players out there that are very capable of playing in the a-league, the problem is with the limited squad sizes and salary cap, teams aren't willing to take the risk of giving them a chance. If there were only 2 more teams for example, that's potentially 36 new AUSTRALIAN players that will be playing in the a-league. It would force a-league teams to look more seriously at signing players from state leagues and youth teams, which will lead to many of them given a chance, and sometimes they only need one chance. I'm definitely no expert when it comes to state level football, but I reckon I know enough about it. I really, honestly, at my core and in my bones DO NOT feel like there are 35 or 30 or any more than a handful (if that) of A-League level talent at state level. I feel really strongly and without badgering anyone, I'd implore you to reconsider this view. That's probably as nice as I can say it.

I don't know if you can judge the class of the A-League by the presence of Jason Hoffman, otherwise you'll judge the Premier League by Titus Bramble. If that's what you've concluded from my post, I conclude your IQ must be extremely low, or you're trying to shit stir. It's called an example.

That's fair enough Nate, you can believe that and you may be right. But if you are, can you explain to me why there are currently still duds running around? We didn't keep Hoffman on because we like his personality (although sometimes I wonder). We believe that there aren't any better alternatives out there. I believe this to be the case too.

Ugh. You're not getting it. Right now, take 35 players from lower leagues and imagine two new teams. You're saying that would make the competition stronger??? No way in hell.

That's just horrible logic. We can't even fill our roster with decent Australian talent, how the fuck would two more teams do it???

Thought that was categorically denied?

Yes yes yes!!! Charisteas, plays for Greece! Our attendance would triple at least. Would be the best Greek to ever play here. Greece FC FTW.

There's a minimal effect sure. Conversation's already been had, but I stand by my rebuttal that AFL attendance figures categorically do not halve in size based on form.

The HAMMER. I think he'd find space around the box at this level. Would create a serious highlights reel.
