Unlucky for Duncan but the spot is Moss's to lose.

Duncan left his last club because he wasn't first choice. It will be interesting to see what happens here the longer Moss stays fit.

Based on recent form though I'd say Moss is playing the best football of his career - he's been outstanding.

On another note which I find bizarre why are our Aussie keepers so shit dealing with aerial balls ??

Take Duncan's efforts at the 2 goals today. You see keepers struggle with these things across the country

Why??

With our culture of backyard cricket AFL kicking a league ball about etc catching should be a thing the rank and file Aussie male is adapt at

Why the **** are we constantly producing keepers who are piss weak in the air ??

Considering BK has been retired for a few seasons now, the fact he still gets brought up in this thread tells you all you need to know about his awesomeness.

meanwhile Biraz remains all kind of fazed on his ass riding the pine.

what is this gypo talk? you're starting to sound like those circlejerking gypo supporters who have been panning our Newy legend BK even though he's never played for their shitty gypo club (as Plague rightly pointed out the real BK retired a few seasons back and became a hermit, moved up the coast I believe)

oh please let it be true!!!

at least it would settle this thread once and for all .

All those Biraz fanbois would be supporting a gypo so they should be banned immediately.

At least BK would never do that.

Long live BK.

Was always a fan of the big man, he was clearly the best keeper we’ve had.

Jetmaster
02-08-2019, 01:28 PM
There is a simple reason I have a soft spot for BK.

Sure he didn't have the amazing talent, didn't look right and could be mistake prone, but he made the most of what he had and got game time out of it, including a few stints at No1.

He knew he was copping it from the haters - never complained, never sooked, never had airs or graces of wanting to be a superstar or going overseas.

Trained hard to be the best he could and was already ready to come on and do his best for the shirt.

Hope he does well for Lambton Griffiths.

Think it time we invested in a new keeper

Moss can't deal with crosses and is costing us goals

Why in ****sname do we persist playing a HAL standard no 2 keeper as our Number 1??

Re-sign BK, problem solved... But in the meantime, I'd rather see Moss in goals than Italiano, as much as Moss has his issues, Lewis just isn't a first string keeper (yet, if ever), we'd've been better to take that muppet Birraz back...

I agree both of our keepers are 2nd stringers

I remember when we were really shit our keepers at least made some saves and kept us in some games
So much so our keeper was our player of the year

Yesterday said plenty
Moss kept **** all out and made a couple of shockers

The City keeper saved a few and kept a clean sheet and was one of their better players

We need a keeper making **** all mistakes and saving our arse if we play the way we do in front of goal missing chances galore

Federici has signed for Macarthur - more than likely means Birraz will stay with the Gypos.

So, who do you think we will sign to partner with Italiano? The Jetstream chat with Lawrie the other day indicated that we'll be signing an experience keeper. Would say maybe Bouzanis as City have released him, but I think he'd be inclinded to head to England to be with his missus.

I would hope we try and bring Jack Duncan back. Dude got relegated at the end of 18/19 with his Saudi club and is seemingly still there. It can't be good for his career to be playing a 2nd season of Saudi 2nd league, particularly given he is only 27.

I agree and disagree. There are better keepers in the league, but those keepers are also got given time to grow and become good.

I think if we don't sign another proven keeper I can accept it, as long as Weir is the starter and not Duncan

Frodo
06-05-2022, 02:30 PM
The level of GK across the league has dropped off, so I think these two are good enough. Weier looks like he has potential to be top quality too.

City are winning the league with Tom Glover in goals, he makes Duncan look like prime Kahn every other week. I think GK is the least of our worries next season.

Weier deserves to keep the spot In my opinion. These things are quite bizarre and frustrating for us supporters, so It must be extremely difficult for players like Weier.

Personally neither Weier or Duncan were good enough. Weier proved last year he is nothing but a stopgap until we find a better one. I'm willing to give Scott a chance

Frodo

Duncan at one point was a starting quality GK, then he flapped about for too long and was deservedly dropped. Easy to justify. He had some great saves in him but brain fades.

Weier probably isn't good enough to start anywhere else but showed enough promise to deserve the gig over Duncan at the time. He wasn't perfect but had slightly less brain fades and more command of his backline. Better on the ball than Duncan too.

Scott was a starting GK for a single season before being dropped. He is one year older than Weier. His CV alone isn't enough to earn him the starting spot so it had to be a decision based off training. All he's shown so far has been flapping and brain fades without any real ability to make saves. Looks decent with the ball at his feet at least.

So both Weier and Scott are basically backup quality GKs fighting for a starting spot who we hope to improve into starting quality. Weier has shown he isn't amazing but also better than Duncan, Scott so far has shown he's probably worse than Duncan. Hopefully they are swapped out before the regular season starts and not every few weeks like we did last year.
