Holy shit did Sorensen really win 'keeper of the year?
He was garbage.
Biraz was legit robbed.
absolutely criminal
Simply went with keeper who made the most saves - has to be the best doesn't he?Quote:

Pretty awesome IMO.

Create an event out of the ****ing thing. People then can fly in from all around the Country like they do for Socceroos games and fill the ****ing ground as well as the local contingent that will turn up for events.
Not the BS scenario where no **** knows what the **** the game is going on
wtf do you do, owning private jets god damn you must be richer than hawkQuote:

Yeah I agree, 12 months notice should be all we need to pack out that Jets v Gypos Grand Final over there in Perth.Quote:

Poor people think scraping for 6th place in a 10 team comp is adequate and realistic
Interesting that minor premiers and grand finalists don't get a single player in team of the year... Also whats with Sorenson getting keeper of the year? Birraz made 4 times more saves!

Jets just signed Clut

Wanderers weren't too dissimilar either in that they had a strong allround squad while likes of City heavily relied on Individuals (Fornaroli, Mooy, Novillo) to win them games and even Perth (with Castro and Keogh) and Roar (MacLaren and Corona).
mariners continue to sell their soul.

It will be revealed on Friday the Central Coast Mariners will play Wellington Phoenix at Canberra Stadium later this year in the first regular-season fixture in the capital since 2009.
The Mariners' deal, which has been mooted since December last year, will take advantage of Canberra's new link to Wellington via the start of international flights to New Zealand.
gyppos worried Austin is apparently heading for Adelaide next season, probably their best prospect and won't make a cent outta him ;)
Aaron Hughes, James Brown, Jason Trifiro, Marc Marino and Wade Dekker have all been released

No, no, no, no and no.Quote:

We need 3 U20s contracted so could be worth a go on minimum wage. I thought Dekker looked ok when I saw him too. We are massively light on up front apart from Nobby, Pav is awful so I would accept Dekker as depth on minimum wage.Quote:

Mitch Austin also to Adelaide?
I meant Marino as the U20. I would happily take Dekker for depth regardlessQuote:

I'm pretty sure the majority here have finally seen that 'local youf' aren't up to par to be A league players any time soon. They cant even compete in the national premier league let alone compete with the big boys in the a league. Until they can beat NPL convincingly every week they wont get a look in. Simple.Quote:

If we need young blokes go sign the best we can

If we need someone cheap get Kitto back
The bloke is better than Pav and Brennan and laid a Gypo out within 60 seconds FFS
Good reality check Member, why would we release Kitto and then sign Dekker or Marino???Quote:

Valid points Member, however I very much got the impression that Kitto left as much as he was let go.Quote:

Every single team is the HAL signs rejects from other teams and the good teams turn them into better players.. Look at Wanderers/Roar/Adelaide... We have a small pool of talented Australian players to fill spots. We only have 3 visa spots available and we can't fill every position with strong imports, we may need options off the bench that aren't fashionable signings. Guys like Lustica, La Rocca and Haliti are boring uninspiring signings that every good teams needs to make to help out through the year. Players like Dekker/Kitto/Kamua/Clut are cheap gambles that can really help out when they pay off. Borrello and Austin were cheap young roughies that performed well this year.
Chillout, we still have plenty of time to find some import signatures, but the local signings may as well be done early so that they can sort themselves out early and bed in early.
So NHRU dramas fielding unregistered players...clubs being banned from playing...hang on.....shouldn't they ban the unregistered players for 12 months??????
