According to James Gardiner - Home-grown youth products Dobson, Nunes, Bertoncello, van Dorssen, K.James Bracco and Janni Rafty trained regularly with the senior squad this season.
At least two of those players will be offered scholarships and train full-time with the A-League outfit.
Does anyone know much about these players and who they’d like to see get the step up? I’ve gathered Van Dorssen is a good player and probably due an opportunity at this level by now
Aleksandar Susnjar will leave Perth Glory for another A-League club. He is linked with a move to the Newcastle Jets.
Was good for MacArthur, less so for Perth. Not the best signing in my mind, would have preferred we stuck with Cancar and Natta if this is our experienced CB signing

I think we need CB who's more dominant than Natta in the air.Quote:

Natta played LB at the end of 2002/2023, I thought is was his best games in a Jets shirt. I said before jets should look at him as a LB , I remember getting shot down about it.Quote:

I guess the worry was he was in a poor Perth defence. At least he wasn't in the squads that got smashed by Melbourne city and Sydney fc towards the end of the season.
Apparently jets are signing an international striker to partner with Stamma which is interesting. Seemed to be what was gonna happen this season gone but maybe didn’t occur because we weren’t able to get a player in to make the system work the way Stanton saw it
Was informed today Beka AKA B1 still is or has very recently been in Newcastle.Quote:

Would love Beka back. He's a winner.
NPL standard, maybe signed with Magic
Probably the best endorsement a player can get is 2Bob trashing them, so he's almost guaranteed to succeed now. Thanks for that buddy.Quote:

2 up top is what idiots say, we already have the best 9
I'm all for Beka as a 2nd striker.
But a possible scenario is: Beka comes back, Stamma goes overseas and we're back to square one with a striker who can't score.
The headline I saw specified it was a second striker to partner with stamma so hopefully what you’ve outlined above doesn’t happen because losing Stamma would make a lot of people lose interest in this team for next seasonQuote:

That said, it would be awesome if we can find someone better, I just have zero faith in us doing that when there's so many other things that need sorting at the same time.
We need 30 goals from the starting forwards, 5 from midfield, 5 from defence and 5 from the bench. That gives us 45, which is all you need to challenge for the league. Boogers solves one of those problems.
Swear I also saw he had signed elsewhere?Quote:

Of all the players leaving he's by far the easiest to replace.
What youth system??Quote:

I was sad when I saw the stats, but Boogers was our 3rd best goal scorer this season and 2nd best last year. We SHOULD be able to replace his output very easily if we were a remotely well run club, but we aren't so I figure why lose those goals if we can't replace them?
Because he's a gypo like your mate pv4.
cheers,
plague.
Terrible year.
Piss co po goooone
Its a shame.. I'm a bit torn on this one.Quote:

His injury woes and time spent on the sidelines probably couldn't justify the price tag..
This, Not much point having all the ability if your in the grandstand busted more often than not. Hope Victory don't fall behind in there health fund contributions, Theyll be needing it for this blokes bills. Plenty of ability not enough output.Quote:

We have also apparently extended Cancar’s contract, signed Susjnar and Weir played a game for I believe Hume City and is confirmed to be gone from the club

I will be incredibly disappointed to lose Archie, if the rumours of Adelaide are true. We should be looking to promote and retain our local talent and he knows where the goal is - he's got the best minutes per goal rate of any male in club history with more than 10 games (a goal every 130 minutes).
That said, he's made 47 appearances in all competition so far. He's started 6 of those and hasn't yet made the full 90 minutes. I felt towards the end of last season he really struggled to get himself into games when he came off the bench. Perhaps our formation doesn't best suit his attributes?
There's always been concerns around his body's durability and I just don't think Stanton rates him. Maybe a move is best for his career at this stage but I can't help but think if we don't sign this overseas striker OR Stama heads overseas then he's right back at the top of the pecking order again.
He's got ability that will never be in question. My concerns with Archie is and this is just my opinion he struggles to run out a full game. Throw in these apparent issues with his frame and durability i think stay or go is a muchness of a muchness.Quote:

Torn.
If Stanton doesn’t rate him and he thinks he will get better opportunity elsewhere, good on him.
He’s at the age when he needs to be playing. Can’t be happy with a cameo off the bench every week.
Would be great to keep some local talent around, and help garner some community support etc.
Rightly or wrongly, a lot of people seem excited to see him play, and always comment about “Archie”.
If he heads to Adelaide, goodluck to him. No hard feelings on this one.
Lucas Mauragis, Brandon O’Neill, Trent Buhagiar, Reno Piscopo, Jason Berthomier, Daniel Stynes, Archie Goodwin, Michael Weier and Carl Jenkinson will depart the Club following the conclusion of their contracts

Griff once said the best career move he made was to get away from Mum's home cooking and learn to grow up.
Yep this. Learn how take care of all your own personal admin such as cooking, cleaning washing n ironing the list goes on.Quote:

Michael weier back playing for Hume city tonight vs south melbourne. Surely another A League club will pick him up.Quote:
