Alex Terra ---------------------- Crowd favourite, but was competing for positions with too many others. Sad to see him go. May be worth keeping if price was right, Rutger Worm ------------------ His time had run out. Not enough goals scored. Maycon -------------------------- Worst purchase EVER! Kristian Sarkies -------------- Hot and Cold. Best game played was his last game. Injury killed any chance for him to show his worth. Kamal Ibrahim ---------------- Not much game time. Kliment Taseski ------------- Not much game time Nikola Roganovic. ----------- Wasn't even good enough for the bench. VPL at best. This may free space for Goodwin and Walker. On a whole, the main 15 looks set to remain the same.

We need a second out and out stirker. Babalj is too raw, and too skinny to do it alone. He need some meat like dukes, paul ifill (however you spell his name) or gc's rickter (dito) etc. at his best he (babalj) is ok. at his worst he is horrible! Maycon must go down as the worst import in competition history. We need to sign a new coach first. this will allow him to determine where our weaknesses are and try to recruit accordingly.

Curtis is one CB to keep an eye on. He has socceroo potential all over him. However Hamill has the ability to push into midfield which gives him more versatility. Is it just me or is a concern that so many of our players are injured, or have been this year. it's a little similar to St Kilda a few years ago when a lot of their players went down with soft tissue injuries. From the outside it looks like we may have an issue with the fitness staff. We lost Sarkies last week after he had a blinder against victory. Germano was out for an extended period. Simon and Fred have had on again off again seasons. The list goes on.

recently they offered a free ticket to members. i was going to invite a few people if members were able to bring someone for free. looks like it's just buy one get one free. Very sad

I read that for the comming heart vs gold coast game one free ticket is offered for every ticket purchased. Does this mean members can also bring someone for free?

my thoughts exactly

There is nothing wrong with being critical, but here is something very wrong if we just write stupid pointless things. Being critical shows passions. Writing crap means your a moron.

if you don't have anything of logic to say then dont post again..............then fold????????????? what are you talking about? i have a feeling your a MV fan. if so it's people like you that made me support the heart.

agree 100%

remind me again what ante did wrong? we lost 3-0 so we should sack the ASSISTANT coach? what if his theory on football is better than that of JVS, but becuasue JVS calls the shots ante must be sacked? no logic to sack ante unless you appoint a new coach who has his own team. my vote is for ante for next season.

why dont we just bite the bullet and tell JVS that there is no need him staying for the remainder of the year, considering he will not be with us next season. we can offer ante the caretaker job - with the view of a full time appointment. this might give the boys a good kick up the bum and maybe turn our fortune around. we are yet to win a game in 2012. what harm will it do? do we really think our players (or any player) will give 100% knowing the head coach will not be there next year?

Can we really afford to invest in an overseas coach? i would dare say that our football department spend would be one of the lowest (if you exclude our coaches wages). We must be sustainable first! with that in mind investing in youth will drop our wage bill and help spread the football department spend. My vote is for ante to take over. he is the man closest to JVS and can best follow the stones set in place. If we so not make the finals with JVS, maybe his loss is not a loss after all.

i missed the world game becuase of a silly recording clash. that was fantastic! it's so true - those victory supporters are full of themselves.

teams play different when 1-0 up/down than they do 2-0 up/down. your argument holds no weight. the odds of adelaide loosing at 2-0 is very very low. thus good attackers will put the ball in the back of the net, thus releaving presure on the squads defence.

agree 100% in a game of football results are all that count. 3 point are 3 points. no matter how you earn them

Your getting off track. i agree williams is having a bad year. we can all agree on that. and we can all agree that shroj is not going to be any better than he is now. My argument has - and always will be - that if both players are at their best williams is a far better player. we have to give williams the benefit of the doubt and hope he can return to form soon. but i still agree a good attacker is far better than a good dm. i think we can all agree on that.

We seem to be agreeing, without actually knowing it. You cannot sit back with a 1-0 lead and expect to win. A good attacker will score another. had we put the ball in the back of the net against roar, maybe we would not have drawn. there are many other examples where a second goal was needed to protect our lead. Ask Van Dyke whether they would have lost to wellington had his shot gone in. Our squad needs only a few player to be injured before our team structure changes. For us to adopt a strategy irrespective of player availability is stupid. our strategy needs to be dependent on the players available. I agree with you our squad with Germano, Fred, Thompson is very strong. Its much stronger without Shroj. But you con only play with the squad that's available. I don't care how we play, as long as we win. A scrappy 3 points is better than a well played draw. ask ccm fans. are they happier to play well and draw against us, or play scrappy and win? Re: Sydney Newcastle - did Newcastle defend poorly to concede 2, or play well to score 5?

CCM happen to score when the going gets tough. they can defend 89% of the game and score on their one attack forward. ala heart game. My point is exactly what you have just mentioned. if attackers don't score you don't win. Thus the importance on finding a good attacker is greater than that of a good defender. 4 players can defend a goal line, but only one person can score. Why do you think attackers are worth more than defenders?

i must be confused. are you saying that if i dont rate a DM, then i am not worthy of commenting on football tactics etc? A DM can be made from most positions. A CM, WB, CB, S, SW can all become DM's. You cannot turn a CM, WB, CB, S, SW into an attacking player. The objective of football is to score. If you don't have players capable of scoring, then a good DM is pointless. You dont even need to play with a DM, but you MUST play with attackers. If the team structure does not require a DM, where would you play Shroj? I would imagine there is no place in the squad for him. Granted Shroj is currently a better player than Williams, as the current form or Williams is very low. But to me if all things are equal Williams' impact on the squad would be far more important than Shroj.

As you state, Shroj is a "bit player". Never going to be any better than he is now. My argument is that players like Shroj can be easily replaced. It is very hard to find an attacker . Williams is an attacker, and with time and alot of faith he will return to form. to me it's simple - is it harder to find a defensive mid or a wide attacker? dm's are everywhere - wa's are a dime a dozen.

Nice job. keep it up

when we first signed shroj i blew a gasket! he was rubbish at perth and was rubbish last year. he was the most over-rated player we had. BUT this year he has got alot better. although at times his second touch is a tackle, and he lacks vision when he has pthe ball - paticuarly when trying to work out where the defenders are comming from. if i has to let one go (williams or shroj) - i would release shroj. we all know what williams can do. the best shroj can offer is "average" in comparison.

Found her. Thanks for the tips, Of all places they had to place her on the victory end! maybe that was the best spot for her. they are both pathetic wingers.

i was at the heart victory game and found and noticed that a 360o image was taken. the link to the image is http://www.aami.com.au/fancamhttp://www.aami.com.au/fancam i have been looking everywhere and cannot find Rhonda from the aami adds. Anyone have any luck?

David is carrying a few too many kg's. Once he drops weight, he will be back to his Queensland Roar days.
