  1. There's a big difference between expressing interest in the role and being willing to accept the pay packet and conditions offered for the role.
  2. The way JVS was yelling at the players in the 2nd half I don't think it was the plan to sit back. He was telling them to push up.
  3. I love how we all sit here saying get rid of X and replace him with someone better who will deliver results from Day 1. As if it's that easy. A player delivering in one environment may not necessarily deliver in another. There are expectations off the field as well as on, in terms of fit. There must be a reason Goodwin wasn't picked up by Adelaide at the time. Perhaps he didn't demonstrate consistency, or was carrying minor injuries, or his diet, health or mindset wasn't quite right. Perhaps it was an administrative oversight. Perhaps the roster didn't quite have enough room. Beauchamp was playing at a world cup not that long ago, yet he didn't "cut it" at Heart. Williams was the next big thing in Australian football, now he's a "waste of a contract". As much as the A-League has improved, it's not exactly a destination of choice for leading talent. There's a salary cap, there's no transfer budget, the clubs are treading a fine line financially, there's no marketing, etc., etc. Roar went 36 unbeaten and have now lost 6 this season. There's a reason why the teams are so close. Injuries do play a huge role because clubs can only afford consistent performers in a small number of positions and then try and make the most of the rest of the cap. Injuries to key players mean there's limited depth. It's only those clubs that have moved to "systems" as opposed to individuals that have been able to achieve success for a period of time, and then only while they have the personnel fit to deliver the system. It's a league of fine margins! Sometimes you are better off focused on how you can get more out of what you've got than from restarting from scratch with new personnel.
  4. Good is seen as the LCB. In the Ajax tradition, this means he would be preferred to Hamill who is seen as a RCB. I think Good is perhaps better defensively but Hamill is better coming forward. One consideration might be Hamill to RB and Marrone to CDM. I thought he played that role well against CCM, marking Amini out of the game - of course that was with a 3-man defence.
