Back in that young world cup (or whatever it was) that Hoole, DDS, etc played in (the one that Hoole did that great assist), I thought Maclaren was the standout striker. We also used Taggz and Gameiro in that tournament, so I remember thinking it was a big deal that I rated Maclaren so much higher.Quote:

After sitting through hours of WHS bullsh!t yesterday (and currently am now), I would say it goes more under a "grievance" than bullying.. Apparently there is a difference, but I've been drifting in and out of the real world while this monotonous bollocks goes on..Quote:

Smeltz was out injured a bunch, wasn't he?
fark they all stinked.
but perth were shit last year i guess.
Yes Perth were pretty terrible but I recall McLaren being especially bad.
From what I've seen this year he's only really scored from set-pieces or simple goals late on against a tiring defence.
Agree with this.Quote:

Fair bit of hoofing, set pieces and Rubes smokers getting them results they prob don't deserve.
Don't like watching them much at all and the good teams seem to have worked them out.
Agreed.Quote:

Can't find enough about him to form an opinion. Apparently trialled with Sydney a few months ago but shitney went with stambolziev instead by the looks of it.Quote:

Good call p-diddy, also seem to remember him being given a decent chance last season and being fairly mediocre.Quote:

Nah Militia that bloke who butchered 4-5 chances for Wankers on Saturday is a sure fire signing.Quote:

His decision making though, I can't fault tbh. To me, he's a terrific target man. He bounces off his marker, holds the ball up really well, and when he actually has friends offering him support usually finds a way to find them. Not many players are that strong on the ball in the league IMO, I can think of few ever in the league to be able to hold it up as well as he can.
Look at Alivodic's goal on the weekend - Edson drops between defenders and mids to create space, turns with two men on him, Alivodic is actually making a run to support Edson and Edson manages to get the turn on and thread the pass to him. I feel like these kinds of things would have happened so many more times over the season if we had players actually interested in offering him support. Edson and Mitch Cooper, when played close enough, seem to be forming a great partnership playing each other in.
Montano couldn't hit the floor with his hat, it would fly off and land in a tree. First plane outa town.
I can think of an x-stiker now playing for lambton that was a lot worseQuote:
