Agree with the comments on Kokko, a good outlet who can link up with those around him is crucial. Having said that I thought Clut performed the hold up role excellently a few games back, I can't remember who against. Received a lot of passes under heavy contest from defenders, hardly lost it and probably won 5 free kicks from being fouled after beating his closest marker. Had a great first half and was subbed around 55 for Nordstrand. I think it was at home against Adelaide.

Hopefully it will come out as the season progresses why Kokko is still not involved, he must be close to if not fully recovered from the jaw but didn't even make the bench for last game. I really hope we get to see him play some minutes and show what he can do.

Either adelaide or perth pretty sure

From I hear from people who watch traning Kokko trains well, always wanting the ball and finishes most of his chances. Im fairly certain he isnt playing due to Jones's prefered style of play

Jets and Greater Bank putting on a few coaches to and from Coffs Harbour - fantastic effort by all involved. Get amongst it

Shitcastle?
Wellingshit?

Curious that if Rhys Williams goes as well that maybe the "bring em home" philosophy at Glory isn't quite working.

SST, the guys with the best scoop correct ratio (1 in 65 million), said he was signing with WSW a few days ago, before the PG contract turn down was announced.

I could see Neville then return to Perth

And ECP on Twitter will post the same "wheels on the bus go round and round" meme that he has for the last 10 years when HAL is nothing but a shuffled deck of the same players repeatedly.

Bridge has a fractured kneecap, so Jones is still keen on signing him - of course... what could possibly go wrong...

It's moments like this that sway my opinion on Jones from passable coach who may improve to outright moron - why is he so intent on giving wankles a comfortable retirement plan at our expense? He's never been a Joel and he never will be, if we want to throw big money at him (and I couldn't see wankles coming here unless we were offering far more than he's worth at this point in his career with his best football being behind him), I cannot see the value in it, he was too half-assed to be a Newy legend in the days when he did play for us, why would he become one now when he doesn't even appear to fit the mold of the team we're building?

This article from two days ago on TWG says we are out of the hunt.

Would be sweet to have a player like Risdon come here. We will probs end up with Neville now. I didn't have anything against the bloke when he was here but I really see Hoffman and him as a like for like player.

I think Neville is better going forward which is strange given Hoffman started as a striker/wide forward. I love some of Nev's defensive work he did for us but most of that was desperation clearance type stuff after he and/or others were out of position after coughing up the ball.

I think Hoff would have to be a cheaper option... the whole local lad thing. I certainly don't think we need both, especially with Cowburn a longer term and local option for Hoff's spot if needed. If we sign Neville, we're not really identifying a major weakness in the side, barely improving, and that's not how you build a successful squad.

There was plenty of talk of heading to Europe. May be letting his contract run down to do that. The 'move out of WA' statement (as opposed to 'my dream of playing in Europe') does suggest he may move to another A-League side though.

So after playing the most entertaining football we have in years and getting some results, it sounds like we are going to park the bus a bit more because losing 1-0 or having 0-0 draw is better than winning 3-2!

I don't pay much attention to any of Dillon's Herald articles or the shit he posts here on the foz.

Taggz thinks Newcastle players are shit

“I wouldn’t swap a Perth Glory player for one of the Newcastle players”

I can't think of what question would have needed that type of response though?
