Popular Post Shahanga Posted November 8, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) As pointed out by someone else, this guy doesn’t have a thread yet, so I’m fixing that. Borm in late 99, he’s just turned 20. Been associated with the club for about 5 years but more specifically a scholarship player since 2017. Like most here I like the look of him. Going forward seems to have game smarts, has a decent cross and knows where the goals are. Defensively does the work. Now he’s still young, that means a few things. Firstly he’ll be inconsistent- frankly we’ve seen that already this season. Secondly he could go off the rails quite easily, if he reads this thread and thinks he’s made it and doesn’t need to work hard anymore, for instance. Thirdly a forum member earlier on the year said we should only play him when he’s ready. For kids if you don’t give them a chance, they’ll never be ready. Now some won’t take that chance but some will and that’s why you do it. Edited November 8, 2019 by Shahanga 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mus-28 Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Has a bit of Aaron Ramsey about him, gets about over the park, knows where the goals are, technically good are and doesn't mind getting stuck in. Most importantly he seems pretty grounded, a lot of young blokes get a few games in the A-League and think they've made it and then fade into obscurity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Out with a hamstring apparently. Hope it’s not a bad strain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mus-28 Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 This is all Wales and Atkinsons fault. If they'd have invited him to the gang bang in Cambodia he wouldn't have got injured playing for the Olyroos and we would've beaten Brisbane.

Goes away with the Olyroos for a "training tournament", misses a League match that we should have won, and returns with a hammy. Seems to me that this happens all too frequently to us.

citymad Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 According to Davutovic, the Top 5 Emerging Players in the A league. Metcalfe in at a Solid #2. 1 AL HASSAN TOURE (ADELAIDE UNITED) 9 (2), Age: 19 Coupled with his FFA Cup feats, clearly the breakout star of the season. Al Hassan Toure has been brilliant for Adelaide. Picture: Sarah Reed 2 CONNOR METCALFE (MELBOURNE CITY) 8 (2), Age: 20 Metcalfe’s goals, aggression, dynamism have been a welcome addition to City’s XI. 3 LOUIS D’ARRIGO (ADELAIDE UNITED) 10, Age: 18 Replaced the massive shoes of Isaias and done it with aplomb. 4 CAMERON DEVLIN (WELLINGTON PHOENIX) 8, Age: 21 Relished playing after struggling for first-team chances. His in-your-face style has been refreshing. 5 MOHAMED ADAM 7 (1), Age: 19 Wanderers winger has excited in his three starts and four substitute appearances.

I have seen Metcalfe score these type of goals in his NYL time. Fully capable of these types of shots on left and fight foot. Hopefully he scores some like this in city colours. He should definitely shoot more often. Brilliant goal. hopefully the hamstring thing he seemed to have is nothing. We are on a winner with this lad with his growing confidence. Rami Looked sharp also. Lets hope he just misses for the jets and gets his eye in when he returnes to city the following season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets will be well, well off the pace next year imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deluka Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 One more yellow card and he's suspended, so he'll miss either the WU or Victory game if he's carded in the next two games. His card last night was quite dumb and completely unavoidable which would make him missing a derby very frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommykins Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Had a chat with him at the ANZAC AFL day game and pointed out that he should have put the ball in instead of hitting the bar with his shot yesterday so I presume we'll see him get two against the Jets this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get out of my head... Really hope we keep him for another two seasons after this one. I bang this drum repeatedly; keep young Aussies here until they're 23/24 and physically/psychologically ready to take on an overseas move. Get to the point where you're a dominant player week in, week out. He will get there but still has a lot to learn. Also, not even two pages for this guy. Let's give him the respect he deserves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 On par with Maclaren and Good for our player of the season - and honestly, might well be a smoky to make the A-League team of the season when it's all wrapped up and done.
