    wonderin how much space that means we have left under the cap, too much for a player the quality of burns which is a shame

    would love to see us look at movin on boogard to make space for burns

    also, if we tryin to squeeze burns under the cap that'd mean we signing a marquee asian/chinese player then

    Of the 21 signed, only midfielder Wayne Brown and goalkeeper Glen Moss were not present on Monday.


    Brown returns from England later this week and will join the group on July 2.

    Dimi Petratos, who only recently left Korean club Ulsan Hyundai, was at Ray Watt Oval but is not due to start training until next week.
    Ok I will cut Moss some slack seeing as he is probably on transit back from Russia after being their with the Kiwis.


    But the Scandinavian League Marquee??

    Why the **** is he not training??

    What sort of Bullshit we running where the players ain't front and centre for first day of training??

    I have to agree.
    You know what the first day of training is before you book any holidays. The only excuse can only ever be away on international duties as Moss was.

    Just? That was 6 months ago. Why isn't the massive break they had long enough to visit family?

    I'm sure Brown gives a shit that you haven't cut him some slack. It said he'll be back later this week. It's not like he's going to be a month behind or anything significant. It was obviously pre-approved by the club and we don't know what the reasons are. Ultimately who gives a ****.

    Memba - blame the management from coach/club level. They're the ones whom allowed it.

    If you're working another job with only 4 weeks allowed and are offered a couple extra, I am sure as shit confident you wouldn't decline
    OK

    Yep, because this will make or break whether we reach semi-final football. It's not like he may have had an ill family member, issues with flights, or any other number of circumstances that don't fit into your perfect ideal. He may have booked the trip already and Ernie came in and decided to have the players start a week earlier?

    You say that like there 1 flight option a fortnight from Europe to Australia. Bloke has a squillion options a day to get back here whether that be through one of the 40 countries in Europe a with an Airline or the Gulf or Asia or Nth America or Sth America or Africa


    A professional competent club don't allow players to be absent from pre season training

    No it won't make or break our season as we shot **** already

    But it this type of bullshit where we again and again show ourselves as amatuers and it shows WHY we constantly Fail

    Not one **** at the club expects 100% from each person employed

    The she"LL be right mentality exists

    True. Players that put family or other commitments before their careers are rarely going to live up to their potential as players. If you want to be the best at something you have to give it all you have and forget about anything else such as family which will only distract you.
    It's not about being a good person or about being nice / doing the right thing - it's about winning at all costs.
    Any player that doesn't get it is having a laugh at the club and the fans.
    There are other jobs out there more suitable for people that want to compromise their careers to be with their family / friends.

    Nice guys rarely win.

    I was actually encouraged by Ernie saying this is the biggest turnout he has had for first week of training in his A-League coaching history (a history which included 2x Premiership/Championship Doubles) tbh ops:
    OK
