Where'd I say he was shit? ****ing liar.

I will agree with you he has never set the HAL on fire and has done little in Europe to warrant marquee money.
Neither has that poor mans Matt Simon the one and only Tomi Juric who everyone would be fapping over if we signed him (except me)
Babalj has big potential. Make no mistake about it. For the right price he would be a very good signing for a side as ours.
To say he is on par with Labi and the rest of our strikers says to me you are massively over rating the blokes we have and you may be getting high off the horse shit smell blowing in from your farm.
PS on another note tone it down a bit with your replies around here.
The gestapo are watching
If Babalj won the golden boot it would not suprise me. He's got good technical skills, a powerful shot, and he's as big and strong as anyone you are ever likely to see in the A-league.
His record in the A-league so far plus a little overseas experience would make him well worth a shot as an Aussie marquee.
Too good for the likes of us I guess.
My bad, I'll trust others judgements on him. I just had a look at his stats and saw 2 goals in 3 years and thought he had gone to Europe and had barely kicked a first team ball. If he comes to Adelaide i'll get to see him play and will be happy to eat my words.
It's been too long since someone complained about Hoffman.. Are you people not even trying anymore?
Trialists were cut today. Trying to find out who
Burgess, Antelmi (sp?), Cowburn and one other were trialling
All 4 trialists were cut today. Did not sign one
Max Burgess, Kofi Danning, Aryn Williams and Pat Antelmi were the trialists cut. Lundy and Cowburn will train with the squad until the end of the pre-season then Miller will decide wether to give them senior contracts or youth contracts. Pretty disappointed Antelmi and Burgess weren't offered contracts.
That's not right
Lundy has 12 months left on his Yoof Contract and will be training with the squad full time just like he did last season. He will be then either selected in the NYL side or HAL side as Millertime deems fit.
He is as contracted to the club just like Carney BK Leaky G etc.
Yes the club can choose to release him completely from his contract right now but they would be obligated to pay him out.
Millertime though may like what he sees in Brandon and offer him a big boys contract before season starts anyway. Unlikely as for simple accounting procedures with the salary cap they would be better off waiting the 12 months and then doing it thus keeping Brandon at the club but paying him less money for the meantime.
As for Cowburn he is on the same Yoof contract he was on before he played HAL level last season.
If he gets picked and plays he in the HAL he gets paid match payments as stipulated in the deal which count towards the salary cap. He is on the exact same wicket as every other kid in the Yoof team except he is expected to train with the first team.
He is too old to meet the criteria of the Yoof contract Lundy is on and the club will have to upgrade him to a senior deal in the next 12 months or cut him completely when he gets too old for the Yoof team
Difference between the two really is that Lundy has a guaranteed income from the club where as Cowburn gets peanuts unless he plays HAL or Millertime gives him a senior deal.
