Agreed that he needs more composure but it's not his job to be creating stuff. He is the NT version of Leigh Broxham.

Jedinak is ok, I wouldn't go so far to say brilliant. He's solid and I think more importantly is playing regularly at a high level. I would still take an in form (and young obv) Grella over Jedinak so let's keep things in perspective. Just because he's better than other options we have right now does not make him the be all and end all.
Is that legit re Timmy and actually receiving votes when he wasn't even on the pitch? If so... wow.
Get rid of Lucas arrogant bastard.... Slow progress. But people need to come down from thinking the level we think we are at to what we really are.....
Bhah. I want Lucas Neill to come out next match with shin pads made of compressed $100 notes with a couple of 'hos leading him out the tunnel. Celebrate the next goal by making it rain like he was up in da club.
Blokes' coined up and lives the lyf.
**** da h8rz.
Sif povos in the crowd can boo him.
Cheers for the bump plague, I missed it the first time around.
Looking forward to the Hollywood remake.
Rof missed thisQuote:
Zadkovich is 5 times the player Jedinak is
Hearing we will be playing Colombia in March away

Socceroos looking at Scotland and Sweden as potential opponents before World Cup
Dominic Bossi

Scotland are emerging as the likely opponents to play the Socceroos in their send-off game before the 2014 World Cup, though there remains a chance Australian fans could be treated to a visit from Zlatan Ibrahimovic with Sweden also a contender to take part in the match.
Fairfax Media understands Football Federation of Australia is close to securing an opponent for the May farewell game for the Socceroos, with Scotland the front-runner to take part in the event, likely to be held in Sydney or Melbourne.
Should a deal be concluded with the Scottish Football Association, it would be Scotland's first match against the Socceroos in Australia in almost 30 years, following the 1985 World Cup qualifier in Melbourne.
After the disappointment of a low-profile farewell game in 2010 against New Zealand, the FFA is hoping to lure to Australia one of the strongest European nations that did not qualify for the World Cup. Due to the travel required, it is unlikely the FFA will be able to lure any qualified nations to Australia before Brazil.
While Scotland have not qualified for a major tournament since the 1998 World Cup and haven’t made much of an impact since, they are regarded as a formidable emerging nation and have risen 35 places in the FIFA rankings over the past year to move into 34th. The Scots are also seen as an attractive drawcard for the home farewell game due to the large Scottish diaspora in Australia that will boost the attention surrounding the match. Australia last played Scotland in a 2012 friendly and lost 3-1 at Easter Rd, Edinburgh.
A visit from Ibrahimovic, one of the World’s best strikers, remains a possibility with negotiations to bring out Sweden before the World Cup also understood to have taken place. Sweden narrowly missed a place in Brazil after losing out to Portugal in the World Cup Qualifying knock-out round and will be free to travel to Australia in late May.

“Croatia and Australia will play a friendly match on 6 June 2014 in Brazil, which will be the final game for both national sides before the World Cup,” the website said. “The venue will be confirmed at a later date."
They'd get a full stadium if they played it in Sydney or Melbourne
But then they wouldn't be in the same time zone as the World Cup.

The not so surprising news just in...
The Socceroos will play South Africa on May 26 at Sydney's Olympic stadium before departing for the World Cup in Brazil.
Herd and Halloran have both been withdrawn from the squad. sources: somewhere or other.
Yep - Halloran injured, Herd personal reasons... which sources say are NOT because he wants to play for Scotland instead.
Holman and Wilkinson in.
jeez disappointing game for the farewell game, should have chased a european team that missed the finals again like greece in 06
South Africa beat Spain recently... probably smash us by a hatful.
staaawp it
**** herd just doesn't want to play for us hey
Whats even more distressing for the 23 blokes who make the trip to Brazil for the World Cup will be the week they will have to suffer on the Coast as apparently the Socceroos will be having a camp there before the Sth Africa game.
What will be even more distressing will be the 7 blokes who also have to hang out on the Coast for a week before Ange extinguishes their Rio dreams. Blokes won't know what is worse. Exclusion from the WC Squad or a week with the Gypos
Of all the places to hold a training camp they pick that Shithole.
Nah mate, its a masterstroke from the master coach.
What better way of working out who really wants to play for 'staya then putting them up in gypo central for a week.
Chris Herd has already decided he doesnt have the ticker.
No doubt Ange consulted with the North Terrace to work out if he was violating any human rights conditions by putting the camp on there.
TBH anyone who genuinely believes Herd doesn't want to play for us is a fool. Dude keeps getting injured, and now he's facing a form of personal issue that is looking likely to see him quit football altogether. He's only 24, and keeps getting hurdles thrown his way - and on top of that he has a large amount of the countries supporters doubting him. It's BS IMO
MFKFC - might give my pal Lucas the rights to my private car spot :cool: but in all srsness, the setup at Tuggerah is beyond (BEYOND) perfect for a WC warm-up IMO.
woo! football day!
Should be 60,000 there tonight
Not on free to air, drat
Any streams for tonights game? i cant find anything
