jw1739 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I can see why Golgol hasn't played yet, don't think he is ready to play ATM. Poor game sense & his work-rate could be a lot higher. Although 1 on 1 against a defender he is brilliant, as shown by when he skinned Mitchinson with a brilliant step over today. Seen him in action 3-4 times. Never seen any sign that he's extending himself. Poor signing IMO - just occupies a spot that could be taken by someone who's going to put a lot more into his game.

Poor signing IMO - just occupies a spot that could be taken by someone who's going to put a lot more into his game. I did get the sense that he's the type of player who's not interested in training drills. There's plenty of them out there. He shined when they played a game at the end but I also don't think we should persist with players who aren't trying to do everything possible to make themselves into better players. Hope he proves us wrong though because he definitely has some talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATM he appears too lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaliMate Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Few other things I picked up on today: -Colosimo is one of the laziest players going around. Really irritated me during the warm-up where they were doing a run through while clapping their hands on sync. Shime being the only one not clapping, even after being urged by his teammates & coaches. Poor attitude for such an experienced player. -Hoffman trained very well, but with the usual fuck ups any time he got close to the 18 yard box. -Kalmar deserves a start this week IMO. Was probably one of the best in the game they played. -Germano looks like he hasn't missed a beat. -We seemed to be working on beating the offside trap a lot, in particularly with long balls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caddy Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 With Garrucio out and Grella still not fit, surely there has to be 3 or 4 Youth names floating around: 1) E. Batsis 2) S. Mauk 3) N. Epifiano 4) Z. Walker Well there you go, Mauk named in the squad! Good on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huzie Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Kalmar is a very under rated player, gets in some good positions, just needs to work on his finishing (especially with his head). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Well there you go, Mauk named in the squad! Good on him. Finally, Mauk is a gun. But its 3 to be omitted so he will probably be omitted. GolGol is a dud, I dont know why we even bother calling him up to the first team. PS dont think anyone has posted the team: Melbourne Heart squad: 1. Clint Bolton (GK), 4. Simon Colosimo, 5. Fred, 6. Patrick Gerhardt, 8. Matthew Thompson, 9. Dylan Macallister, 10. Josip Tadic, 14. GolGol Mebrahtu, 15. David Williams, 17. Jason Hoffman, 18. David Vrankovic, 20. Andrew Redmayne (GK), 21. Steven Gray, 22. Nick Kalmar, 24. Sam Mitchinson, 25. Jeremy Walker, [No. TBC] Stefan Mauk *Three to be omitted Ins: Stefan Mauk (promoted – National Youth League) Outs: 19. Ben Garuccio (ankle – 3-4 weeks) 23. Mate Dugandzic (broken foot 8-12 weeks) Unavailable: 13. Jonatan Germano, 2. Michael Marrone (international duty – Qantas Socceroos), 11. Richard Garcia (international duty – Qantas Socceroos), 16.

LR9 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) Tough ask this week, Miller and Burns are back in for these purple faggots. Realistic squad: Bolton Walker -- Gerhardt -- Colosimo -- Mitchinson Thompson Hoffman -- Fred Williams --- Tadic --- Mebrahtu B: Redders, Vrankovic, Mauk, DMac Out: Kalmar, Gray ...but I would like to see Hoff and Colosimo out, with Gray next to Vrankovic and Patty G at DM. Finally, Mauk is a gun. But its 3 to be omitted so he will probably be omitted.I dont reckon they wouldn't have named him if he was going to be dropped, they would have just listed it as "*One to be omitted". From memory, every time they have named a youth kid for the first time they have gone on to play. However, he could be in as cover if Mebrahtu pulls up sore again, like he did a few weeks ago.

mstam Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Mauk has been sent off numerous times in the NYL this season. So much for earning a promotion. Discipline gone out the window this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toogood18 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Michael Lynch's article today: Youngsters Sam Mitchinson, a left-back, and Jeremy Walker, at right back, made their debuts for Heart in the Sydney game and could retain their places on Saturday if coach John Aloisi elects to put his faith in their youthful exuberance. ROFL at the fact he wrote Mitchinson made his debut last week. I reckon we'll drop Gray and Mebrathu, the weakest two players in the squad IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biancorosso7 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Called the Mauk promotion. And agreed on the proposition that we don't promote youth just to leave them out. Will start on the bench. Agree with LR9's team, save for direct swap between Mebrathu and Kalmar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadete Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 We are never going to consistently win games with blokes like Kalmar and Hoff in the team. Neither of them are anywhere good enough at A League level to be able to play their preferred position at a VPL Level: Kalmar as a 10 and Hoff as a 9. So they simply go game to game competing against each other for the midfield spot in the team that nobody has made their own. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Which is why I'm fed up with comments from the club along the lines of 'we believe we have the necessary depth in the squad', when it's painfully obvious that we don't.
