Agreed....both are on the A league scrap heap for a reason. but in reality with our cap space, reputation and position A league scrap heap is where we have to shop.Small wages and 1 year contracts I could handle as I don't see how we can be aiming much higher. Next year should be a different story with decent planning.
Would much prefer a bunch of barely tested 20 year olds like Lachlan Jackson than a pair proven to be subpar at multiple clubs like Ramsay and Danning.
Personally, I'm very happy with the signing of Lachlan Jackson. Looked a decent player in the couple of games I saw him play last season. Definitely a good back-up to our central defenders and who knows, he might step up and make the starting spot his own. Not sure I'd want Ramsay or Danning, maybe the coach could bring out the best in them. Correct me if I'm wrong but can't trialists play FFA Cup even if they're not contracted.
We need to face facts that the only Aussie players left are journeymen or never will bes.
Considering where we are, I will be happy if we sign another 3-4 players on min wage contracts if the last 2-3 are quality foreign players
+1 could not agree more.
Hey guys, long time follower first time poster,
From what I can gather Ramsey and Danning only have a slim chance of being signed, I wouldn't mind if they were signed as back ups on minimal wage but anything more shouldn't even be considered.. Hopefully Miller has some quality players for the playmaker and striker roles lined up or at least has players he wants to sign
Welcome mate.
By accounts it sounds like they are here for a week and if Miller thinks he can get something out of them, well and good. They are interesting trials because Ramsay in particular plays in a position where we have some coverage with Carney, Alivodic, Pavicevic and Lundy. We are really light on in the middle of the park and up front at the point, so to me their trials are a little interesting.

we may as well have kept chilli, if we are going to sign ramsay & danning
I'd be happy with Ramsay if he can play on the right. If not why bother...
Which is where Brennan played in the majority of his videos, by my recollection just thinking about it.

Better the devil you know, eh?
Ramsey is left side only. Wouldn't be surprised if we are looking at him for a possible backup for leaky gee at left back
I can see either Alivodic or Carney playing behind the striker at times this year. I think they both are our best passers in and around the box. They will at least provide some cover/competition for Cooper who is primed to have a breakout year this season.
We would need 2 very dynamic midfielders to take care of the midfield behind them tho...
Yeah, we do have enough coverage in the wide areas, does anyone think Brennan could play in the middle or would he be best staying on the wing??
Will be interesting to see what sort of formation we play under Miller
Don't forget Barresi coming back as well.
From what I've seen (limited), Brennan is deceptively speedy and would be best utilised out wide.
That said, I'm sure he could be made into a more central
Player who can move into the channels etc.
Yeah I thought that would be the case.
Don't think he has the touch to play centrally.
I'd prefer Alivodic to slot into no. 10 - seems to have the ability to play there.
Re the discussion of Ramsay - Miller may be looking at playing an inverted winger on the right. Who knows. He hasn't said much.
Carney is just a major liability in my opinion.
No speed, no fitness, just off the pace in general.
Yes his touch and vision are better than most in our squad, but given his wages he is simply a liability that needs to be cut.
