citymad Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Great article on Metcalfe, includes a highlights reel. https://breaking-the-block.com/2021/06/21/a-league-2020-21-connor-metcalfe-player-analysis/ "Ranked 9th amongst the top players." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R410 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 How this man didn't win "Young Player of the Year" has me absolutely baffled. Starting on the field in the team of the season and called up by the Socceroo's. Subsequent winner not even in the Olyroo's squad. It's supposed to be for the best player under 23 or am I not understanding the award eligibility correctly? Might as well rename the Dolan Warren awards to the Sydney FC Awards. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise the circus was in town - hilarious stuff. Given King didn't even make the bench in the PFA's Team of the Year and Metcalfe was a starter, makes it even funnier. In addition, Redmayne didn't make that team and Ninkovic could only make the bench - yet those two somehow managed to win(share) Keeper of the Year and Player of the Year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aardvark Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 The way the young footballer award works is that every month or so (not sure of the exact time period) a player is nominated as the best young player that month. At the end of the season that leaves you with about 5 young blokes to choose the winner from. A bit like how the AFL can only have a rising star from the players that were nominated each round. Atkinson was our only young guy to get nominated. The system generally rewards players who have one really good month over a prolonged very good season like Connor. If it was every player under 23 you'd imagine Tilio would be another to feature highly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted June 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 I’m not sure who will win forum player of the year from the 3 2 1 count but there’s a strong argument that it’s Connor Metcalfe (with Good and Noone on his heels).

Nate Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Connor Metcalfe is deadset one of the stories of the season. We all saw glimpses of his talent and potential last season, but I don't think anyone could have anticipated what he'd achieve this season. - 24 appearances for Melbourne City (2nd most, behind Tom Glover) - 5 goals (3rd most) - Socceroos call-up - Socceroos debut - PFA Team of the Year And will surely be named in the Olyroos squad for Tokyo. Absolutely shattered all expectations of him this season. I hope he stays at least another season before his inevitable departure overseas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neio Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 It's the 2nd year in a row that the Young Footballer of The Year has been fucked up. Libby Cacace was the clear winner last season, Metcalfe the same this season. Neither got nominated for reasons completely unknown. Sydney fans are hilarious "King got it as he is the only nominee in a GF team"... We literally have a bloke who isn't playing cause he went to play for Australia, it's a joke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citypool Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Is metcalfe expected to start most games? I have him as captain this week for fantasy team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citymad Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 2 goals in two games- good start. I think the Metcalfe / Leckie left flank arrangement will reap goals this season. It also seems like Tilio and Metcalfe work well together also so more joy after an interchange also. If i remember correctly Metcalfe was Player of the Season from this forum last year - someone should award it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr MO Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 Good luck Connor, hard work pays off! I’m not sure if you are quite ready for the Bundesliga but proof me wrong, excellent challenge. Just like with Atkinson we are not willing to disclose the transfer fees, I wonder why.

Nate Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 Congrats to Connor, he thoroughly deserves it. I just worry how much his and Atkinson's departures (in addition to probably Tilio, maybe Good) is going to affect us mid-long term. I worry the destabilisation will really hurt us, which is a shame since I was hopeful of a bit of a dynasty with these guys. But ultimately, I get it. Life's too short to hold off and wonder what if.

With Cola seemingly likely to go as well, it seems like we're losing a lot of the heart and soul of the club. I get it, I know it's a mark of success and I don't begrudge them, but for a club like ours, this is so much of what our culture is.
