Christ we better not sign Appiah. Just promote a young player ffs
Look at Brymora ahead of Appiah
Appiah is quick. If he can lob in crosses then maybe we could sc.... oh wait, never mind.
Thing is he can't deliver a decent cross to save himself has a non existent assist stat and took him years from memory of first team football in the A League after many bombed chances to get his first goal.
He must be paying us. Martins new business plan for the Jets, Fund it like a academy. Tell a player he has has something and potential and fleece him for all his worth to be in the squad. No other explanation for considering this bloke.
I hope the chatter about Georgievski to the new Melb team isn't true. He puts in 110% for the shirt I think we can't afford to lose him. He has some games that are a bit how's ya father but I'll take his passion ever day of the week
Nothing against George but having a reasonable chunk of cap space being used on a fullback spot is just stupid in a salary capped league.
allowing new franchises to fleece us of our best players is how we ended up so shit for years... I'd rather we kept hold of someone with Georgievski's passion, it can spark the others when he gets going
There's lots of valid arguments for keeping or releasing Georgie. He certainly appears to be a nucleus of squad bonding, getting along with everyone. That can't be underestimated.
The salary capped league argument is also valid. If he is taking up a fair chunk of the cap, is that the best space to spend it. Lots of teams get by without having a dedicated left back - Victory won the league without a left back. However, we've got a decent left back, which is something of a commodity. Why would we let that go?
My sense if this wasn't a salary capped league, we'd look to keep DG. However, we aren't and I think as a result we will see him move on. I'd still like to keep him - it's head vs heart stuff.

Anyone surprised Topor gets a 2 yr extension at 34
don't mind keeping Topor on, rather than having him poached by the new Melb club - our younger FBs would do better to model their game on him rather than Boogs... :popcorn:

Wow, reference to Boogs there... :rof:Quote:
"His performances speak for themselves," Jets football operations manager Joel Griffiths said. "For a defender he is very quick and is holding his pace really well. Some players can just do it and some struggle as they get older."
I read this part as way more of a reference to Boogs:
Quote:
During his 56 games, the centreback has only received six yellow cards.
"That is when you know someone is a good defender," Griffiths said. "He doesn't slide in or make silly tackles because he is disciplined to be in the right place at the right time."
Topor wants to finish his career here...no problem with tying him in as he has earned it. He can groom his successor and then possibly move into Team Griff.
