I think we actually need to be looking at two blokes who can get a start for rival teams rather than sit on the bench elsewhereQuote:

Not other HAL rejects
I'd hardly call them rejects. I'd Kalfalah as better then Austin and Ingham but for some reason they are above him. Also marinkovic is a pretty good goal scoring mid which we do not have. You have to remember these squads are far and above ours. And until Lee shows otherwise I can hardly see us spending as much on our squad as they doQuote:

It wouldn't really be any different that what we currently do. Our squad turns over pretty much every 3 years and Visa players are lucky to see out a season.Quote:

at first I thought somebody had punched ross aloisi, turns out he was the puncher.

an official punching another official after the match...should be made to sit out for the next 12 months if FFA want to send a proper message.
Should be made to coach the Jets for 12 months if they really want to punish him.Quote:

Lowey brings up some points that have been well discussed on this forum about the "haves and have-nots".
However, he fails to address the manner in which the team have been playing the most of the season as another reason we have missed the finals yet again.

- singles out Graham Arnold & Sydney FC multiple times.
- relates his arguments to ANOTHER CODE, specifically bringing up Brisbane Broncos, Melbourne Storm, and their respective coaches.
- highlights Gui Amor's failings this year compared to last year.
I guess I'm going to have to agree with Lowey - comparisons are odious.
This article is solely about him defending his mate Jones, and basically nothing else. He's arguably done it in a way that can be agreeable, don't get me wrong, but it's just too easy to see thru it all IMO.
"While the top teams’ best five to seven players don't count against the salary cap, meaning that their eighth best player potentially earns the same as the best player at those clubs within the cap, it's hard to see much changing."
That's just telling of the major issue with the HAL at the moment really.
I'm reluctantly going to have to agree with Lowey on some points. For others though, he seems to still be looking through those rose coloured glasses.
It's almost as if Lowey uses the foz, steals all my information and turns it into an opinion piece.Quote:

Thoughts everyone?? looks like were becoming a feeder club for China
hey these blokes are coming 8th as well, looks like we share the same values i.e. lack of ambition, talent
i wonder if their management have the same contempt for their fans as ours do?
At least it is starting to become clearer what our club's business model is - will we make the top 6 in the balance sheet league?Quote:

Wait we have 5 visas spots?Quote:
