jw1739 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Whatever we might think about Newcastle and Tinkler, at least there's a club that's had the balls to say "enough is enough" to a number of players. I'm not necessarily suggesting that we should behave in the same way, but Germano should have been told "enough is enough" months ago.

NewConvert Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Well reading that the players at the Jets are still in dispute and now the revelations that WSW regarding their players, I don't feel its the right way to approach this. The poisoned atmosphere will do little to improve those clubs. And we don't know what kind of pressure that Germano has been put under so we can't really comment. The only relevant player in this was the way that Kalmar was shoved out the door and there is a forum where a number of posters have voiced their displeasure.

Jun Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Where the fuck is germano? Is this cunt ever going to play more then 2 games in a row? Where the fuck can I sign up to play 3 games in 2 years and get payed thousands to do it?. Germano's sister mentioned in a City facebook post last week that he's fit and keen to play for the seniors. I wouldn't take her appraisal of his fitness level vs club physios, but it begs the question if he might just be out of favour. Edit: Just read he's done his achilles.

n i k o Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 For most of the season he was placed on the injury list, however ever since the beginning of January he hasn't been placed on it. And according to some, he has been playing youth games, so it doesn't add up. It's more likely he is both out of favour and out injured.

Ray Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I believe that Santalab hacked both Chapman and Paartalu in the WSW game, so these injuries have got nothing to do with middle-eastern sojourns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deviant Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Melbourne City FC squad: 1.Andrew REDMAYNE (GK), 4.Connor CHAPMAN, 6.Aaron MOOY, 7.Iain RAMSAY, 8.Massimo MURDOCCA, 10.Robert KOREN, 11.Damien DUFF, 15.David WILLIAMS, 16.Josh KENNEDY, 17.Jason HOFFMAN, 18.Paulo RETRE, 20.Tando VELAPHI (GK), 22.Jack CLISBY, 24.Patrick KISNORBO ©, 25.Jacob MELLING, 29.Safuwan BAHARUDIN, 40.Marko STEVANJA (GK) ***one to be omitted*** Ins: Tando VELAPHI (GK) Outs: Nil Unavailable: 3.Robbie WIELAERT (ankle – 1-2 weeks), 14.James BROWN (knee – 1-2 weeks), 19.Ben GARUCCIO (ankle – 2-3 weeks), 23.Mate DUGANDZIC (knee – 1-2 weeks) [No mention of Paartalu or Germano] As we've said before, the squad is pretty much everyone left standing. Injury list: Wielaert, Brown, Garuccio, Dugandzic, Paartalu, Germano, Mauk, Marino. A shambles as it stands, but I don't take too much notice of these squads. It could all change by kick-off. Nah mate, you can't compare the shambles to this. Shambles had a wining streak spanning through 3 divisions and only 2 losses and 3 draws throughout 4 divisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Article in the Sun today says that Germano is unavailable due to an Achilles injury. Paartalu is still injured. Also, JVS thinks that Velaphi might start but because he hasn't been training at a high level for a few weeks, Redmayne will probably get the nod. Also, Kennedy will play a bigger role.

SF33 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Whatever we might think about Newcastle and Tinkler, at least there's a club that's had the balls to say "enough is enough" to a number of players. I'm not necessarily suggesting that we should behave in the same way, but Germano should have been told "enough is enough" months ago. Well, from what I saw from afar of Jaliens, he made Paddy K look like Tony Adams as a leader of men. And, from what I've read/heard, Carney was dismissed due to 'not meeting club requirements'. I don't think Germano falls into those sort of categories, but I'd love to be able to cut him loose and get a decent replacement, at this stage. Our players don't appear to be openly revolting against the club; they're just permanently injured and/or not up to it. On your point about our injuries: the thing about the injury list is that it's really only one player that should be starting and 2-3 players that are good enough for the bench. Victory's unavailabilities last week seemed a fair bit worse, from where I'm sitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Wellington have lost two in a row but they will still beat us.I think they will score a few so it could end up a very bad score line if we don't get any.Our best hope is to make it respectable.

n i k o Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 We've had 2 wins and 2 losses over the last four games. Based on JVS win percentage (in the 30%) that means that he is sitting at 50% win rate for the last 4 games, which means we have to lose or draw at best. But if look at JVS win percentage this season he is sitting at 33.33% which means there is a good probability that game game could end up being a loss, win or draw. So I'm picking the game will result in one of those three outcomes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I predicted 6th so not far off you We need to show some metal against Wellington or I could see the season unraveling. Brisbane look like they are beginning to pick up. We need to get a big win against one of the top four teams to give us confidence. Hoping that is against Wellington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHFCROB24 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 really don't know what to expect - Last year Williams went crazy and we smashed them - Then this year they went crazy and smashed us - so logically we will smash each other and score a 5-5 draw.

jw1739 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 My pre-season prediction was "bottom four", not because of the squad in particular, but because I couldn't see that the paradigms at the club had changed at all. I still don't see that they have changed. I still read and am completely sick of the same old crap pre- and post-match from van 't Schip, Kisnorbo et al - we need to improve, taking positives, put last week's result behind us, focus on the matches ahead blah, blah, blah...but nothing actually changes. IMO we'll do well to escape from Lower Hutt with a draw. We can at least take that into the next two matches at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
