GVE would have to give Bernardo a run.....I can just see him enticing fouls or even cards from that grub Jacob Burns.

To be fair, the amount of horses for sale is just under a third of his total stock so wouldn't say it's a complete fire sale.
And if he really wanted cash his horse 'All Too Hard' would be worth more than those 300 combined.
Big Fella is still going alright.
Keep the faith.
for your information this came straight from the horses (keepers) mouth
Possibly, I did get about a bit back in the day.
Devilishly handsome is he with a massive appendage ?
Ball was keepers, not obvious goal scoring opportunity. Even if it was a foul (which is debatable anyway), not a red. FFA is a farce, MRP is a farce, DEANS OUT.
Clearly all down to Heskey!A-League's crowds now beating boys from Brazil

BRAZIL might lay claim to loving the game more than any other but such is the progress of the A-League this season that its average attendances are now higher than for the top division in the world's most famous football nation.
After four rounds, the A-League is already averaging crowds of 15,460, well above the average of matches in the Brasileirao last season, which equated to 14,693.
That's an extraordinary stat considering Brazil's league boasts globally famous - and now financially powerful - clubs such as Corinthians, Flamengo, Sao Paulo, Vasco da Gama and Santos. The country also has more than 170 million more residents than Australia.

Should the A-League maintain its early-season speed, it remains on track to beat attendances in Turkey, Scotland, Russia, Belgium, Korea and Portugal. At the moment, it is the 14th most attended league in world football.
It is barely 4000 people away from a spot deep in the top 10, with the Dutch Eredivisie being the world's sixth most attended league.
The A-League is nowhere near the world's top three leagues, the English Premier League, Spain's La Liga and the world's most-attended, Germany's Bundesliga, with a staggering average of 45,726.
Just 12 months ago, the A-League was lagging in 24th place, a result of plateauing interest and the inclusion of Gold Coast United, who frequently pulled in crowds of less than 3000 a match.
The early-season gains have been attributed to the inclusion of three world-famous marquee players.
"There's no doubt the marquee players Alessandro Del Piero, Emile Heskey and Shinji Ono have ignited massive interest in the A-League," said outgoing FFA chief executive Ben Buckley. "I congratulate the clubs involved for making the investment in these star players.''
While Major League Soccer in the US is the eighth most-attended league in the world, boasting an average of 18,828 attendees, the A-League's crowds are higher than the MLS's at the same time in its development, after eight seasons.
Also, 11 per cent more members have signed up for this season than for all of last season. Three teams - Sydney, Newcastle and Melbourne Victory - are set to boast more than 10,000 members each.
The A-League has also proven a winner on pay television, where it is exclusively broadcast by Fox Sports, averaging 94,969 viewers a game so far. The round two match between Sydney and Newcastle at the Sydney Football Stadium drew a league-record 164,367 viewers.
Buckley said the league's 'We Are Football' marketing campaign had ''really connected the 1.7 million participants at the grassroots to the great things happening in the A-League'' and flagged further increases in the competition's popularity.
''Stability remains our top priority, but I can see sustained growth ahead for the A-League," he said.
Ticket sales for Saturday night's match between Central Coast and Sydney FC are on track to be the Mariners' best crowd of the season.

Hunter Ports Newcastle Jets head coach Gary van Egmond has named an extended 19-man squad for Saturday’s match against Perth Glory at nib Stadium on Saturday.
Former Jets goalkeeper Matt Nash signed an injury cover contract with the Club this week and comes into the squad as a replacement for Ben Kennedy who had surgery on Wednesday on his right knee.
Scott Neville comes back into the squad after missing the Jets’ last two fixtures with a groin injury, while James Brown is in contention to play his first A-League match for Newcastle after missing the first four rounds of the season due to an ankle problem.
Joshua Brillante, Connor Chapman, Jack Duncan, Mitchell Oxborrow and Adam Taggart were unavailable for selection due to their international commitments with the Young Socceroos at the AFC U-19 Championships in the United Arab Emirates.
More details to follow…
Newcastle Jets squad: 2. Scott NEVILLE, 3. Tiago CALVANO, 4. Josh MITCHELL, 5. Dominik RITTER, 6. Ben KANTAROVSKI, 7. James BROWN, 8. Ruben ZADKOVICH, 9. Emile HESKEY, 10. Bernardo RIBEIRO, 14. Taylor REGAN, 15. Craig GOODWIN, 16. Jobe WHEELHOUSE (c), 17. James VIRGILI, 18. Jacob PEPPER, 19. Michael BRIDGES, 20. Mark BIRIGHITTI 21. Marko JESIC, 23. Ryan GRIFFITHS, 33. Matt NASH (gk).
In: James BROWN, Bernardo RIBEIRO, Matt NASH, Scott NEVILLE and Taylor REGAN.
Out: Nil.
Unavailable: Josh BRILLANTE, Connor CHAPMAN, Jack DUNCAN, Mitch OXBORROW and Adam TAGGART (all on Young Socceroos duty).
Ritter? Kanta? Brown? Ribeiro? Nash?
Thought first three were injured... and its good to see Bernardo getting picked.
Brown made his return in the NYL game last Thursday against WSW. Kanta and Ritter both picked up injuries but might be fit for weekend. Doubtful though...
What's the word on Ryu's neck?
it is a 19 man squad, 5 to be omitted
if Ritter and Kanta are out
i think we will bring in Regan, Brown and Neville to replace them
cutting out
Jesic
Kanta
Ritter
Pepper and
Ribeiro
Birra
Neville - Regan - Tiago - Mitchell
Zadkovic - Brown - Goodwin
Virgili - Heskey - Griffiths
Bench
Nash
Regan
Bridges
Wheelhouse
Regan, what a legend. In the starting line up AND on the bench
Having a laugh if you think the captain will be dropped!
Tis a 15 man squad, you dropped one too many. If they are injured, will be Kanta and Ritter. Pepper seems to be on the outer as does Ribeiro but who knows with GvE, he might think a bit of attacking flair is exactly what we need against Perf, so Bernie RibEyeRow (is that how it's actually pronounced?!) might get a look in with Brown off the bench still regaining fitness.
Birraz
Nev - Tarago - Mitchell - Goodwin
Rubz - Ribz - Wheelhouse
Virgil - Ivanhoe - Ryu
Gash, Brown, Bridge, Regan.
Jesic definitely cut.
i actually think GVE will start brown
run him to ground for 60 minutes hopefully by that point we will be leading or drawing than bring on someone like regan to hold the result. (i actually think we are going to get smashed regardless)
the suggestion above to play mitchell at left back scares me as it reminds me of topor at left back v beijing, goodwin was signed to play left back and should do so if ritter is out, goodwin scored all of his goals from pre-season at LB so i don't think his attacking potential will be completely gone.
Play Brown on right (his natural position) and RyGriff on left. Goodwin to LB. Easy.
Chilli on bench to bring on as soon as Brown gets tired.

Suck it up princesses
Anyway these figures are also being handicapped by the lack of success Victree are having. If they were going good they would be spiking the crowd s up even more.
What is more concerning though is the turnouts in Adelaide / Perth / Brisbane. All these places have 1 million people and they are loitering around 10k mark. These guys need to be doing much better. Particularly the Roar. They play great football and have had 2 years of near perfection yet still struggle to get the fans in. Why???
Would include Gypos but we all know they ain't proper football fans so there crowds are to be expected as you can't expect them to waste their dole cheques paying for the extra feed/water to get their caravans to ShitTounge
i dont get why everyone is saying we are going to get smashed
in my opinion this is one of our strongest sides in a long time, there is a good chance smeltz will be out for the glory
we are on a 3 game winning streak,
if we dont concede the final goal which we have in our last 3 games, i think we will atleast pick up a point
When was the last time we won in Perth?? When was the last time we even scored in Perth?? Our record in long haul away games V Nix/Glory is ****ing abysmal and we always get smashed. Yes this may be a new team who don't have the same record of teams of the past. At the moment they have to go out and show us they can do it. Sort of have to earn their stripes before being accepted
Most are just being cynical and preparing for what is the expected result come Saturday. Will still be cheering for the boys but will be honestly surprised as all **** if we get the 3 points as I am pretty much prepared for the 0 points and a beating.
Last thing I would call these current figures would be handicapped.
Only the FFA would blow their own trumpet about how good our average is after 4 rounds.
If you looked at the average at the end of every round you'd see it dropping week on week. The fact is that they scheduled a lot of the big drawing games at the start of the season, add in the marquee's, new season hype, longest off season in the world and the fact you have no GCU pulling down the averages as well.
That's not to say these are not fantastic results, but realistically they have jumped the gun, if it was halfway through the year and we were at these levels I'd be on the bandwagon, but 4 rounds in is just asking for some wicked Karma.
I think by the end of the year it will hopefully be around 12k-13k average & that will be a huge improvement over last years 10.5k average, that will also be two years in a row that newy has exceeded the league average at our home games by around 2k.
you do bring a pretty good argument to the table with when our last goal in perth was
and yes our travels have been pretty shit recently
but i wont be rocking up with the expectation of losing, i have faith in the boys
Stop talking sense.
As for our last goal scored in Perth I think it may have been in our wooden spoon season in the game where The Egg had to be dragged away from that diving grub Trinidad at FT. That's how long ago it was.
Takka was the man if I am not mistaken when he put us 2-1 up after an earlier goal from who else but Lord Griffo
