He's basically a cheat player from FM days who can play DM MC AMC FC and on either side of the pitch, isn't he?
Yeah can play 6, 8 or 10 and has a cracking goal scoring record in the last couple of years in FNQ league, 45 goals in 47 games.
As an Aussie you could do a lot worse and would provide great impact off the bench
Totally agree. He was trialling with us and there were reports he was close to signing. Things have gone very quiet since
All well and good to be saying we should be signing another player but the salary cap needs to be taken into consideration. Like I mentioned previously, we have 5 players taking up approx $1million of the cap, meaning we have about $1.4 million for the rest of the squad. I'd say with the latest signing Trifunovic there would be not much left now in the kitty
Speaking of community engagement, few months back we had those 3 club forums (business, members and community). Were they just a one-off thing or is there more planned for the future? I think we need to keep those lines of communication and feed-back open and continuous (say every 3-4 months) otherwise it just seems that the whole exercise was just an FFA PR stunt!As part of the continuing community engagement I'll take to the club, for their consideration, the potential for door knocking members to announce future season launches and important information releases.
Oh, and
I'll ask at the next meeting

Cheers mate
We were trialling Smith whilst searching for our foreign 9. That to me says they still had room in the cap despite what was put aside for Trifunovic. Granted he may well have taken all our cap space left, but if not Smith would be a great buy.
Would be ideal to use the new mature-aged rookie exemption as well.
It would be good to move BK/BK out of the cap based on long service, it would be good to have some of our youth as junior marquee, it would be good to spend a few million squad on two marquees and it would be good if Natalie Portman was Mrs Ario... but none of that is likely.
You mean they didn't seek you input or permission to hold a season launch.......AND had the audacity to send an email to an address you supplied them....the bastards!!!!!!!!
JETS OUT!!!!!!
No season launch now due to shitty weather.
Instead, you can go to the opening of the club shop and get your kids faces painted.

Pass....so much you can't do at the shop.....will be full of starry eyed kids and frustrated horny housewives pretending to be Birraz girl......
Bet you can't have a kick about either.
So, go there and pretend to be Birraz.
more importantly, has the club sent over the appropriate person to alert the member to this change?
Is "shitty weather" code for "the member wasn't happy he wasn't personally invited" ?
Deadset member is the worst bloke. Will be spitting Pringles about this
Seriously couldn't care less it ain't on.
Was thinking about putting an appearance in at the glorified training run but will spend the arvo socialising with my Gypo friend instead.
To be fair I probably prefer this scenario by a long way
Looks like I am the winner in all this
