  1. Can anyone tell me why the A League doesn't have 7 subs like most leagues do? Even if two of them have to be NYL players, surely this would be better and give the manager more choice, and the youngsters the experience of a match day.

    It's the brain fart of an ffa rule maker to have 5 which is infact an improvement on the original 4 we used have

  2. I'm not one to swear easily but FFS, I've just watched his press conference following the debacle against CCM

     

    Could this bloke get fired up at all???

    I was half  expecting a finishing quote of Ce la Vie , with a shrug of the shoulders

     

    it's like he just checked his bank account and has seen that his pay has come in, so it doesn't matter what the result was

    He did some sign board rearranging when that 2nd goal went in, and I was expecting some fire in the presser after seeing that but he must have had a dose of the chronic post match.

  3. He is being played on the wrong side. He has probably made more passes with his right foot for us than he did his entire career.

    He should be played on the left, as he showed when he was put there and a better striker than Marino could have had two goals from two of his crosses.

    or at least give Mate and him the freedom to switch sides regularly through out the game, that will make space that we seem to be struggling to find given the amount of back passing we are now starting to do again. I'm quite certain this happened a number of times already over the past two games

    They may have done one or two actual switches but what I've witnessed mainly is Duff getting frustrated and roaming centrally to try and get on the ball, and in some cases he's ended up further over on the left side but not in a clear switch with Mate.

  4. Yeah I got that email, was just curious as to whether they'd started dishing them out yet.

    Actually super excited for this tournament, I've never watched the Socceroos live before so that'll be sweet. There's a few tasty looking clashes in Melbourne too which I'll try and get down to.

    Well you've waited for the right time if you didn't want to travel to see them, they've only ever played on AFL/Cricket grounds that I can recall when playing in Melbourne prior to this.
  5. So the ABC are showing the Asian Cup, wonder who they'll get to do the commentary, I hope Francis Leach gets a run.

     

    They will also cover tonights games against Japan so I suppose we will get a taste of how they will cover the tournament.

     

    and ABC, if you find this, please keep this bloke well away from the coverage...

    Edit: Just a little bit of insight into this man's insight prior to the WC this year for those that may have missed it. 

     

    Peter Wilkins of ABC was the man to incur Postecoglou's glower-heavy brand of quiet wrath on Wednesday by pushing hard to know why Mark Schwarzer hadn't been 'recalled' following his impressive late-season cameo at Chelsea. 

    "He's retired," was the emphatic response, delivered with an ironic smirk which descended into an impatient dismissal as the question came back a second time. Wilkins' crime was to misphrase his enquiry, which should have been about sounding out Schwarzer over a possible reversal of his decision, a perfectly valid query which deserved a full response.

  6. He is being played on the wrong side.  He has probably made more passes with his right foot for us than he did his entire career.

     

    He should be played on the left, as he showed when he was put there and a better striker than Marino could have had two goals from two of his crosses.

     or at least give Mate and him the freedom to switch sides regularly through out the game, that will make space that we seem to be struggling to find given the amount of back passing we are now starting to do again.

  7. He's the perfect bench player, lets just hope Jesus can start most games

    fingers and toes crossed

     

    Willo is a worthy inclusion in the squad but not as our reliant source for goals, he just isn't bankable enough to convert his chances, runner up for golden boot last season or not. He seems perfect as an impact player though with his speed when the game is getting old and we have failed with our possession game and inevitably revert to the counter attack.

  8. I got a little insight into the general populations impressions of mass at the game last weekend. Explains why he gets voted man of the match at te ground...

    2 blokes behind me were talking about Mooy missing because of his socceroos call up when one of them said "Murdocca is missing too he must have been called up as well, he's been really good" :droy:

    I'm not a mass hater but come on, are these people serious

    7. Jacob Melling is a real find for Melbourne City

    Keep an eye on this young bloke, who has starred for Melbourne City in its recent resurgance. Melling put himself about in the centre of the City midfield against the Mariners and it's no coincidence the 19 year-old wasn't on the pitch when Mariners scored in stoppage time to rescue a draw.
