Who determines whether a player is high profile or not, surely not one of the executives who know shit all about football? 

Diamanti is absolute class and one of the best dead-ball specialists in the world, I'm actually really glad Victory don't get him.

In due course it's going to be tough to draw a line between being good enough to be a marquee but not high-profile enough to be a guest marquee. It's these sorts of rules that get FFA into trouble. Just tells me once more that it's time to get rid of the rules and free up the whole business.

Not all of these executives know nothing about football. Guest rule is about getting bums on seats and only people who are immersed in the football world would know who Diamanti is and that's the point.

Who is he?

People arguing in favour of his ability are missing the point. Yes, people who follow football closely know who he is, but your average casual fan or potential code-hopper has no idea.

Not what the guest spot is for. Cry me a river you navy blue cunts.

victory tears. FMD the entitlement mentality of them are incredible, i refuse to believe victory fans aren't just a bunch of school children 

School Children do like to wear masks so you might be right there, mind you they wear them at Costume Days at School and not Antifa Protests.

Just signed Marco Rojas again. If he's anything like he was before he left Victory are going to be a damn good side this season

I reckon he'll struggle in the A-League now. The league is a long way advanced from when he left it and his overseas form has been nothing short of dreadful. Worth a punt for sure, but won't be anything like the player we remembered imo

Yeh they are. I have no problems with our side (besides our defence). I think we have the players to more than match it with them. Concern is as always JVS.

lol did anyone go last night?

 

what a way for Archie to end his career, subbed out of the game in the 70th minute having done jack all, booed off the field by the Hellas fans and then South score 2 in 2 minutes to snatch the game, place went bonkers, goes out a loser and surely he won't embarrass himself by continuing on.

jesus christ, if he's made official then they easily have the best squad on paper in the league. 

 

Thomas

Geria - Ansell - Baro - Georgievski

Valeri - Essien - Bozanic

Troisi - Berisha - Rojas

 

...and they'd still have Ben Khalfallah, Broxham and Austin on the bench. Why can't we recruit like this?

I don't rate their squad. Not enough midfielders.

Their front 6 is as good as anyones, with some pretty good depth in those positions. They have decent quality in their full backs as far as Georgevski and Geria goes, but much like us their CB's are an issue. Dont really rate Donachie or Ansell, havent seen Baro although he started on the bench behind the other two yesterday v Adelaide.
Personally dont think Bozanic makes the starting 11, which is a fair complement to their depth.

Going to be a good year for the two Melbourne sides imo

It's a seriously good team now. I'd prefer Essien in my team than Cahill.

Just goes to show that we shouldn't have taken on Cahill in return for concessions from FFA. Once the rules were changed it was inevitable that some other clubs - especially Victory - would take advantage of it. We didn't and don't need Cahill from a football perspective.

I'm willing to bet $100 that Cahill will have a far bigger impact than Essien, the guy was a beast. But was is the key to that statement.

He hardly managed 10 games in Greece FFS. He's only getting older and he's made of glass

Seems to me like a couple of people in here haven't seen Essien play since he left Chelsea.

I confess. I'd never heard of him let alone seen him play. (As a 'Gooner' I've always associated Chelsea with mini-skirts and a flower show rather than football.)

The old big 'V' was one of the most unique and standout kits in the league, I dont understand why they make it look more wimpy each year. 

Guess thats what happens when you're the poorest ALeague club in the state and you're desperate for some more income.
