KSK_47 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 This got me intrested where everyone is, so thought I'd make full list of every MHFC player. If any are wrong let me know Clint Bolton - retiredMichael Marrone - Adelaide United (Australia)Brendan Hamill - West Sydney Wanderers (Australia) Simon Colosimo - retired Michael Beauchamp - PTT Rayong (Thailand) Matt Thompson - PTT Rayong (Thailand) Rutger Worm - Achillies 29 (Netherlands) Kristian Sarkies - Bulleen Lions Gerald Sibon - retired Wayne Srhoj - Mareeba (Queensland) Alex Terra - Valletta (Malta)Kamal Ibrahim - Port Melbourne Sharks John Aloisi - retired Aziz Behich - Bursaspor (Turkey) Eli Babalj - AZ Alkmaar (Netherlands) Josip Skoko - retiredKliment Taseski - Hume City Dean Heffernan - retiredAdrian Zahra - Valletta (Malta) Fred - Philadelphia Union (USA) Maycon - Goyang Hi FC (South Korea) Curtis Good - Newcastle United (England)Craig Goodwin - Adelaide United (Australia) Nikola Roganovic - Green Gully Patrick Gerhardt - Dylan Macallister - Eastern Salon (Hong Kong) Josip Tadic - Rijeka (Croatia) Richard Garcia - Perth (Australia)Golgol Merbrahtu - West Sydney Wanderers (Australia) Marcel Meeuwis - FC Eindhoven (Netherlands)David Vrankovic - Bonnyrigg White Eagles (NSW) Steven Gray - Oakleigh Jamie Coyne - Bayswater City (Western Australia)Sam Mitchinson - Bayswater City (Western Australia)Jeremy Walker - Concord Rangers (England) Orlando Engelaar - Twente (Netherlands) Harry Kewell - retired Michael Mifsud - Sliema Wanderers (Malta) Andrea Migliorini - Delta Porto Tolle (Italy) Â This is just an observation here but its pretty interesting to see that most of those promising younger players are either back in the HAL or playing state leagues (Good, Eli and Aziz being the only real exceptions). Zahra is in Malta and Jezza is playing conference football but thats not exactly leaps and bounds ahead of playing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Jeremy Walker now playing regularly for Concord Rangers (England Conference South).Saw the other day he played a full game. He has played in about half the games so far, not sure how many are starts and how many off the bench.At his level he would for sure be semi-pro. League Two is generally considered the last professional division, but a lot of clubs and players in Conference Premier are also fully professional these days. But in Conference north/south it's pretty much all semi-pro AFAIK. Though it still can be a decent wage if you play regularly for one of the bigger teams from what I've heard, but for Jeremy surely he also has to work a job on the side to get by.

Tesla Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Seems like Vince Grella is turning out to be the GOAT agent. How he got Brillante a move to Fiorentina I'll never understand, but he also orchestrated Taggart's move to Fulham and De Silva's move to Roma (highest transfer fee in A-League history I think?). Will be interesting to see what moves he can make next.Pretty good for a bloke who sounds like he has an IQ of about 40 when he talks.

Why would our franchise be interested in a goal scoring forward, Troisi isn't the sort of midfielder we seem to collect. Grella does seem to have done well for someone who left school at age of 12 Edited December 9, 2014 by belaguttman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Vietnam 's Bin Duong sign former Young Socceroo Vrankovic   AFC: Thu Dao Mot (January 13, 2015) AFC Champions League Group E side have bolstered their squad ahead of the kick-off of their continental campaign with the signing of former Australia youth international defender David Vrankovic. Vrankanovic was part of the Young Socceroos’ squad that reached the semi-finals of the 2012 AFC U-19 Championship in the UAE and made a couple of appearances for Australia’s U-23s in the inaugural AFC U-22 Championship in Oman the following year. The 21-year-old defender joins the three-time Vietnamese champions from National Premier Leagues (NSW) side Bonyrigg White Eagles, who he returned to last year after being unable to force his way into the senior team at Melbourne Heart (now Melbourne City) during his two years at the Victoria-based club. The increase in the number of clubs participating in the AFC Champions League and AFC Cup sees Binh Duong return to Asia’s premier club competition for the first time since 2008, with the three-time Vietnamese champions drawn with 2006 ACL winners Jeonbuk Motors, Shandong Luneng of China, and a yet to be determined qualifier from the playoffs, with Japan's’ Kashiwa Reysol, 2012 AFC Cup semi-finalists Chonburi from Thailand, and Hong Kong’s Kitchee, who made the final four of last year’s AFC Cup, all in the reckoning. Chonburi entertain Kitchee on February 10 with the winner facing a tough trip to Japan to take on 2011 J.League champions Kashiwa a week later.  http://boxscorenews.com/vietnam-s-bin-duong-sign-former-young-socceroo-vrankovic-p111467-68.htm   Vrankovic's new team play in Vietnam's top flight competition, the V-League, and finished 1st last season. This means that Vrankovic will be able to play AFC Champions League football (from the group stage) with the team in the 2015 AFC Champions League.

Why is Hoffman still put in these lists of players who underperform? He has been more than good enough for the last season and a half to warrant his spot. I'm not saying he is amazing or anything but he has been our most consistent defensive player over the last few years. Still believe our best back four with this squad is Hoffman chapman kisnorbo Garruccio. Is just lazy to still keep lumping Hoffman in there. Agree in the past he shouldn't have been given contract extensions but has turned into a serviceable a-league level RB IMO. fwiw I'd still want to see us sign a better RB with Hoffman as a utility player able to fill gaps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
