    so much potential yet to be realised

    if he goes back to the NPL i expect him to score 20+ goals and be the best player in the league by far.

    I still think he deserves one more chance.

    He is also one of most genuine and nicest blokes i know (not that it should count for anything)

    i would not retain burgess or cooper. Lundy can cover both but i assume both will stay and they will cull lundy.
    Virgili has done two good things and only two as an A-league player: That pass to Heskey V Scums, and that goal he scored from that wonderful pass from the Florist in trial game V NIX......not good enough........No contract.

    Muppet needs to back himself to find better. If he can't then he should quit

    Will be pretty pissed if any of these off contract players other than the Serb or Cowburn get another contract. Now is not the time to be making decision on sentiment. Ruthless precision is needed.
    100% agree. Id also sign max burgess. Only downer is that kanta and peps still had one more year on their contract

    Muppet should also be working with Sr8Shooter Murphy and going through our list of contracted players also and looking to shift a few out as well if he can.

    Then again haven't been able to get rid of Carney in 4 months so don't hold your breath

    When you look at the top four sides and the quality they have and then you look at the remnants of our squad, I have to say I agree with you Member.

    Alivodic has consistently got better with each week and has the end product that we need i.e scores and creates goals.

    Cowburn has shown with limited game time that he is up to this level and has been a very consistent performer in the Youth team for 2 years so he deserves to be rewarded with a senior contract.

    Maybe Reegz should be kept but when you think that he has been around for what 4-5 seasons now, has he really developed into the player he should have by now and cemented one of the CB spots?

    Yeah we may as well get rid of the rest of the off-contract players.....a precedent was set back in January so might as well go the whole hog and have a total clean-out!

    I think Travis Cooper has shown glimpses of being a quality attacking player. He made some great runs in behind the defense against Roar and that cushioned header for Montano was great. He similar to Pavicevic but probably has more pace but less strength. No idea about either of their finishing ability which is the important factor but i think we should keep them both.

    I still haven't watched the Roar game but everything I've seen and heard about Travis (I'm going to call him Travis, and leave Cooper for Mitch Cooper, to avoid confusion) is that he is terrible. I'd hate for us to fall into our usual trap of giving useless players contracts on the basis of one good moment they did in a game.
    OK

    100% agree. But i reckon he might have a bit of a football brain on his shoulders, instead of running for the sake of running he seemed to be making intelligent movement. We've lacked that in recent years. Heskey knew where to run but didn't have the legs. Taggart knew what he was doing and even with not great service managed to put 16 or so away. If we revert to a 3-5-2 i think Travis could be apart of that top 2.

    Carney may have difficulty in attracting another employer until he can clear a few matters not related to the Jets

    So is Carney still getting paid $4-5k a week to run laps? I'm not sure if i'm impressed by how well he has done for himself or angry at him for not just taking his pittance and try to resurrect his career elsewhere?

    Do you think Murphy will forget about him and we will lose all 10 of our competition points next season after we somehow breach the salary cap with 12 senior players and 10 youth players?
