Murfy1 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Don't like having to read write-ups of press conferences, as you only get a few selective statements from the presser. Thankfully, here's the full press conference with JA (the Redmayne content at the end is the same as the video above): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofhearts Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Kewell should be rested. If he hasn't trained all week, why would we risk him in round 2 of the season? Just give him the game off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays well but there is no way you can say on what he has shown so far that he even has the potential to change games. Maybe a solid squad player at best.

Murfy1 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) In our first season, where we won 8 games, Kalmar effectively won 2 of those. There was our first win against NQ Fury, where Kalmar scored with a header, and our away win against the Newcastle Jets, where Kalmar scored with a brilliant overhead kick (Sibon scored a superfluous pen in the final minute of Injury time to make it 2-0). Kalmar just about missed the whole of our second second with a back injury. He didn't start once, and he only played in 3 games (for a total of 171 minutes). Last season Kalmar started in 10 games (and played for 908 minutes, so he effectively played 10 full games). He definitely changed our second home match against Perth, where he scored a cracking free kick and was MOTM. He also helped spark our 3-1 win against Sydney at AAMI, scoring the first goal with a tidy finish inside the box. Hopefully Kalmar can stay injury free and find some consistency this season. He may not be a world beater, but Kalmar definitely has the potential to be a strong A-League player, who can change games.

mulhollanddrive Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I heard Ramsay was the in if Kewell didn't come up on SEN news today, would mean Dugandzic playing in the hole. Missing Kewell and Mifsud makes it difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not be a world beater, but Kalmar definitely has the potential to be a strong A-League player, who can change games. Very well written, obviously the injuries have hampered his career quite servilely, maybe just focusing too much on him missing games, listen i hope he does prove me wrong, would love for him to succeed, but will just be about how healthy he can stay. and you think Mauk does have the potential to change and win games? lol.. Not at all mate, was just wanting one of our youth players who has played quite well in the pre-season to be given a go over someone who seems to never be able to string games together. We're about giving youth a fair go anyway aren't we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I think the thing about Kalmar is that while he's inconsistent (mostly injury-related), he has superb technical ability on the ball which is almost uncanny for a midfielder of his height in the A-League, he takes players on with his dribbling, can head the ball accurately, volley and has a lethal long-range shot on him. If we can actually get him even up to 80% fitness, he could be devastating for us. It's just a matter of keeping him out on the park rather than just for 20 minute bursts.

Nate Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Obviously this is going to sound stupid because of the ridiculous contrast in skill and ability, but I think of Kalmar as a Zidane type of player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Agreed, I want Kalmar on the park tomorrow if Kewell isn't. That being said, if he is to make something of his career, then this is the year to show it. He is peaking physically and like Nate said, has the technical ability to carve up opposition defences. We need more out of Williams and Mate. And as some bloke said on Heart's Facebook page, less Hoffman, more Walker! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluka Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Desperate for a clean sheet tomorrow, I want to be the best defensive team in the league. Will struggle for goals tomorrow which reinforces how paramount a clean sheet is. Will need more from Williams and Mebrahtu this week, they have to prove that we can score without Mifsud and Kewell if he is to miss. Melbourne Heart 1-0, 70th minute set piece where Kisnorbo heads home. Snatch and grab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toogood18 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 What a fantastic day for football. I reckon we have a serious chance this afternoon, no one is giving us a chance, but if we play with the same defensive accountability as we did against the mongs, you never know what could happen.

The Aardvark Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 When Kalmar is on he is very good. I think he is the only player in our squad that is able to hold the ball, to the point where he often seems untackleable. His passing can be very creative, and his shooting is pretty good. His issue is that there is a huge difference between his best and worst, and more often than not his worst is very quiet. I think he is one of the few player in our side that can really dictate whether we play well or not. Too many others like Williams, Gol Gol, Dugandzic and Behich can have variances in their form without really affecting the rest of the side. Kalmar is the kind of player that when he plays well brings others into the game and makes us much more dangerous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Peter is correct in that the no. 70 tram to Wattle Park runs to Swan Street. It goes round the back of the tennis centre and there is a specific stop for AAMI Park just before it turns left into Swan Street and heads west to Punt Road, Richmond Station and onwards. That stop is no. 7D. See http://ptv.vic.gov.au/assets/Maps/Routes/PDFs/940_Tram70.pdf Edited October 18, 2013 by jw1739 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
