2018/19 Squad

[StannyCFCJET]

Why??

If we have no intention of being a long ball side why sign someone to play that way??

Seems like a waste of a squad spot when we would be better off signing someone who offers something to how we want to play ie speed for fast transition

As for throwing Jackson up front that is like sticking your pay packet on a hundred to one shot and thinking you have an idea about gambling when it comes up

It is basically surrendering and giving up if this is deemed a legitimate tactic for us

Target man can be used for more then just long ball.

Roy is a lump of a target man. Therefore Sheppard is exactly a backup for our current game plan. Easy peazy lemon squeezy.

Such as what??

Link up player, Option for Crosses, Smaller quicker players can use him as a foil to play off. Some target men can also get in behind prime example being Drogba

I'd prefer a Taggart, man.

Love it.

Has anyone got any info on when Ernie and Jair crossed paths in 2012?
Not in the ACL. 2012 was the P!ssandt, Brisbane Bore and the sCCuM....ffs!
Any ideas?

Jair: Today morning I received the info that he (Merrick) played against me 2012...and I am...
Merrick: I haven't forgiven you....

I'm assuming it is as a player vs a team Merrick coached and not literally PLAYED agains him.

He's no Nabbout. Smiles too much. Lacks Nabbout's muscular muscly muscles. Brazilian, therefore a diver.

Is Kaine Sheppard allowed to play for Avondale in their FFA Cup match v Sydney FC?

I thought he'd already signed for us?

Hasn't been announced. There is another Vic npl player trialling this week with us

I know this is an impossible question to answer, but how much money do people reckon we have left in the salary cap?

Jair wouldn't be on big money given the leagues he played in and his bargaining position from last season.
O'Caravan, George, Hoffman, Dimi, Uga, Topor, Boogs would be on better coin than they could be on elsewhere but nothing too silly. Perth would be paying similar wages to us for 1st teamers.
Vargas is marquee, correct?
Kanta is outside the cap?
Jackson, Koutrombis, Cowburn, Champness, Vujica, Ridenton and Moss would be on smaller wages. Given their age.
The rest would be on scraps.


Looking at Perths Squad, they'd have 2 marquees (Juande and Spiranovic?) but still at least 14 other players who would be on decent coin. (Reddy, Neville, Grant, Davidson, Lowry, Djulbic, Harold, Keogh, Castro*, Franjic, Kilkenny, Santalab, Ferreira and Ikonimidis)

We have 8 guys on decent coin so surely we have a little but of money up our sleeve for our last visa spot?

[Frodo]

For arguments sake WSW have about 9 guys on decent coin (Risdon, Fitzgerald, Baumjohann, Bridge, Janjetovic, Elrich, Llorente, Bonevacia & Ziegler) & 1 marquee (Riera)

Didnt the Hoff take a pay cut to stay here?

Dino Drillbits got the arse and an 11th hour repreive from the scrapheap so no way is he on big coin
Fabio Ferreira has also been on the scrapheap so no way is he on big coin
Santalab is another who should defo not be on big coin considering he nearly retired

So there at least 3 I reckon you are wrong on

Djulbic - Fair point. I forget he left and came back.

I'd say Ferreira and Santalab could be on similar money to Hoffman. Not top drawer, but not on food stamps.

Don't think so, he just got offered more elsewhere and declined.
