Nate Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 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.

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embee Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 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.

GreenSeater Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo400 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 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.

Nate Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 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?

pattyd89 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 It's a seriously good team now. I'd prefer Essien in my team than Cahill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt50 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

hedaik Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) 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.
