Welcome, Tomislav.
Seriously? - he told him not to use the outside of his foot? That's like a tennis coach telling a player not to hit backhands. f#%&ing stupid...Quote:

Are we gonna have a big enough squad after we release these three but only have eyes for signing wankles?
Apparently our entire future depended on Bridge coming to the club, Just ask Jones. Not another oz player anywhere in the whole wide world apparently worth a look.
Good.Quote:

I agree you never tell the media who your planning to sign cause at the very least their price gets jumped up.Quote:

With the CSL changing the rules to only allow 3 foreigners to be on the field at any time and having to have 2 U23's in the 18 man squad, as well as one of those U23's in the starting 11, I bet there will be plenty of Aussie talent on the move in the near future.

I sort of found it bizarre that with the Chinese signing the likes of Oscar Tevez etc they were also interested in shit **** Australian playersQuote:

Surprisingly other than the Japanese at Wankers and the Chinese Messi here none of the other teams do
Clubs are going to have a couple of years to fall into line though
So Jonesy would rather risk Brown injuring himself further than give Kokko a start? I assume also he'd want to play Brown out of position again, so it would be ineffective anyway, hmmm...

Article says Leilei will play wide. But I agree, Kokko needs to start to see what he offersQuote:

If Brown is in it will just be a straight swap with Ma moving wide.
Just sayin'
Ma didnt impress me against perth looked out of his depth, which is odd when he's looked great off the bench.
Gees i love football, two people can see two different things.Quote:

I thought it was his best performance to date. His passing at times was average (Straight to perth) but he also made a fair few fantastic passes and some lovely one touch/flick passes that lead to chances.Quote:

He looked slow on confidence to me. Didnt run into space or at players. Couple of times he got the ball in space and stood around waiting for a pass
If it was my choice......With Hoole out and if Brown isn't fit, Noddy at 10, Kokko at 9 and a toss up between Ma and Clut on the right. Clut for his energy; Ma for his deadball work.
If Brown is fit, Kokko at 9 and Brown at 10 with Noddy taking Hoole's spot.
However I think Jones will play safe if Brown is out and go with what he had last weekend. Ma at 10, Noddy at 9 and Clut replacing Hoole. If Brown is fit then Ma will play instead of Hoole.
Kokko wont start its pretty obvious Jones doesnt like him. Complains about Visa player input, comes across as a go at Kokko but doesn't play him. Well Jonsey if you play him he might be able to show you something (Yes I know he was injured). Anyone know what has happened with Haliti??? Is he out of favor?
Haliti won't get game time anymore, unless its the last game of the year, to say goodbye. He's not match fit and his knee won't give him another season. :(Quote:

Sometimes you need a bit of luck but also in my opinion you should be giving it everything you've got even if it is for a limited period of time. We don't have the luxury of trying players to see if they're any good. Every game is critical for where we are on the table
He's looked good everytime to me. I dont feel like he isnt tryingQuote:

I feel the other games where he has dropped in off the defensive line and received it either to feet or even chest/head he has looked very good but we didn't look to use his hold up play hardly at all against Glory. We also hardly had any set pieces once he was brought on due to Glory's stifling of the last 15 minutes of the game. I would love to see him be given a chance with Nordstrand behind him next week now that Hoole is out. Put Ma onto the left wing and bring Clut on at #10 around 65 minutes give or take 15 depending on how Nobby is going in the game.
Long balls suit Kokko fine provided their to his head or chest and not in behind, Same goes for Nordstrand provided their in behind.Quote:

Judging by Jones continual selection of Clut Nordstrand Brown up front and his chasing of Weak Ankles maybe he wants a smart type of players in the 9 role rather than a lumbering target man.
Maybe he not playing because he not that good either and this is the best he has
Don't understand the wankfest for a bloke who has done little with his opportunities
10mins every few weeks isnt really an opportunity. When he started before his injury against Adelaide and against City I thought he looked real goodQuote:
