borris Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Who cares what the critics say. Once we beats the Mongs at that AFL stadium, they will change their tune and even if they don't do we really care what they say??? You support your team regardless of who is in the squad ( but IMO i think we have a great chance of improving on last year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rellum Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Probably another thing counting against us in these assessments is the complete change in our coaching team. But IMO JA is such a positive person that this is actually a change in our favour. Our starting eleven is pretty competitive. A lot is going to depend on keeping our best team on the field and not having key players out for weeks with seemingly minor injuries. That and most of our new players are complete unknowns to the people making these assessments. I wouldn't be taking any notice of 442's predictions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 i think this lineup has a lot of potential. Solid at the back, and dangerous up front, exactly what we need I like it as well. Would probably put Thompson in front of Germano though as I like him as an attacking threat both as provider and goal scorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torn Asunder Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 i think this lineup has a lot of potential. Solid at the back, and dangerous up front, exactly what we need Agree... I would then incude an attacking bench of Williams / Golgol, Kalmar and Mcallister. The defenders could be covered if required by Thompson or Germano. I would also allow Gerhardt to switch into midfield for periods, dropping Thompson back. Behich could also go forward at times by dropping either Thompson or Germano into defence, with Garcia moving into central midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torn Asunder Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Williams will have a blinder of a season..I have a vibe.... A spare central defender would be good as back up, but is generally only of use in the event of an injury. Last season when hamill was on the bench as a back up for Colosimo I remember some games where he didn't get a run and Jvs was hamstrung tactically for substitute options. That's one of the shitty a-league limitations with only being allowed 3 outfield subs. Again, that's why we should rotate some of our versatile players into different positions to create more playing options ... But what would I know, I certainly don't have your wisdom, cadete, and I'm sure you will enjoy correcting me ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandev Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Slow news day for Heart. Boznic is on "a can of worms" (chanel 10) show talking about r/ships. He should stick to football analysis. But, could 10 be introducing there new football identity to FTA TV? Is 10 in the running for Football rights? I could be reading too much in this... Oh about that, what's happening with our latest open posts? Any news of JA return to Melb from Wollongong? Would be ideal if we add some support to the team of seniors quality. I heard on the weekend, from a credible diehard Victory supporter (yes, they're out there, apparently) that Carlos Hernandez has been contacted by Heart (again). Apparently he's looking at getting out of India. Probably so, but we all know there's no Visa room for him at Heart! The other club interested is WSW. Hope he goes there - would be awesome to watch him again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redmayne; Marrone, Colosimo, Gray, Behich; Gerhardt, Germano, Fred; Dugandzic, Macallister, Garcia. Bench: Bolton, Vrankovic, Tadic, Garuccio I like it, but with a couple of changes: Redmayne Marrone, Colosimo, Gray, Behich Garcia, Gerhardt, Fred Dugandzic, Macallister, Garuccio Bench: Bolton, Thompson, Germano, Tadic Gerhardt can go back if needed while Thompson and Germano give plenty of options off the bench. Bolton has missed heaps of pre season and doesn't look ready, so agree that Redmayne should get the gig round 1.

drcolossus1 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Our major issue is with the style we play. Currently Go Hard and C-los are not ball players, they are ball hoofers. Bolton as well, I hate to say, has terrible judgement when assessing attacking options. There were so many times last season when Behich led with a quick run but Bolton just held the ball, which ended up being hoofed down field. Options - haven't seen Redmayne but from what I've heard he has decent ball disposal having learnt that style of play whilst with Roar. Starting Gray and Vrankovic in CB. Have never been a fan of Colosimo. I honestly don't think that he shows any sort of leadership at all on the field. Not sure about Gray, but he is older and I would have thought that with heart going for someone of his age, leadership would have been a determining factor in contracting him. Vrankovic is someone I think will be huge for us this year. He'll make mistakes like Good and Hamil did but from what I've seen he got the goods. Germano DM. Sorted. Fred and ? In midfield. I'm thinking Kalmar at present as Thompson has shown some decline. I don't think he is the player he was. D-Mac up front. You can't say he hasn't earned it with his pre season performances. Just because Tadic is a Visa player shouldnt guarantee him a start. Garcia has to play wide. Let's not totally change a players position that he has played his whole life and to him into the EPL. Unfortunately, The Williams Behich connection down the left isn't really working. I would much prefer to play him as a striker when needed. I know we won't waiver from our 433, but you need to play to the squad you have sometimes. 442 suits us much better, but here is my idea for the current 433. Redmayne Marrone-----Gray--------Vrankovic---------Behich Kalmar-----------------Germano Fred Duga------------------------------------------Garcia D-Mac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I wonder WTF our football department thinks it's up to. He suffered a minor injury which is why he is unavailable . I reckon it's good we are giving him a chance...he has raw ability so if the coaching staff can get the best out of him he will be good value.

Rocco Jones Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 With Germano out I would like to see PG move into DM role with Gray at CB. Might be alone here but would like Thompson in a left sided role for a few reasons - can swap over to LB with Behich - can also swap with Garcia/anyone just about due to flexibility if it doesn't work - knows how to get into goal scoring op - most of all, I don't rate Williams 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) With a squad of only 20, two players injured, that leaves just 18 from which to draw a match squad of 15. Not a lot of room to move there. Means the NYL players, when signed, must come into the reckoning. And I know I bang on about it, but it means injury management - getting blokes back on the pitch - becomes so important.

Rocco Jones Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I think having no option to sign Madaschi last season has contributed to the decision. I'm fine with us not signing 3 more players JUST to get to 23. We always have the option to sign 'making up the numbers' type signings when injuries occur, at we will know who to sign.

heart_fan10 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 as JW said, this season is about injury management. We've got some quality individuals and we've always seemed to get into a position in 90% of our matches where we've got a chance to win. And when we've had our strongest side in, we've hardly lost. If injuries can be kept to a minimum, and we've got a full squad to select from in at least 20 of our 27 matches, then we'll have a good season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put Mate and Willo down for 5 each, Thomo down for about the same, a couple each from Fred, Germano, Garcia and Grella and the odd goal from a defender or sub... thats roughly 40+ goals. We should be alright, we are creating enough, just need some composure. Edited October 16, 2012 by LR9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
