Neville to Perth in a swap for Risdon according to 442

I remember talking with some people about seeing this happening when risdon rejected the contract. They keep their local drive

[Jetmaster]

For those interested. Fox just showed Ljubo at the game this evening talking with Musky.
After the game there will be a report on him and his battle with depression over the last couple of years.
Must see TV.

an official punching another official after the match...should be made to sit out for the next 12 months if FFA want to send a proper message.

Should be made to coach the Jets for 12 months if they really want to punish him.

Lowey brings up some points that have been well discussed on this forum about the "haves and have-nots".

However, he fails to address the manner in which the team have been playing the most of the season as another reason we have missed the finals yet again.

Lowey brings up some points that have been well discussed on this forum about the "haves and have-nots".

However, he fails to address the manner in which the team have been playing the most of the season as another reason we have missed the finals yet again.

Lowey wrote this:

For me, comparisons are odious

But for the x amount of paragraphs leading up to that line, he:
- used the word "compare" once.
- defines the divide in the "haves and have nots".
- specifically groups the Jerks with the Mariners & Wellington (and get this, for comparison sake).
- singles out Graham Arnold & Sydney FC multiple times.
- relates his arguments to ANOTHER CODE, specifically bringing up Brisbane Broncos, Melbourne Storm, and their respective coaches.
- highlights Gui Amor's failings this year compared to last year.

I guess I'm going to have to agree with Lowey - comparisons are odious.

This article is solely about him defending his mate Jones, and basically nothing else. He's arguably done it in a way that can be agreeable, don't get me wrong, but it's just too easy to see thru it all IMO.

"While the top teams’ best five to seven players don't count against the salary cap, meaning that their eighth best player potentially earns the same as the best player at those clubs within the cap, it's hard to see much changing."

That's just telling of the major issue with the HAL at the moment really.

I'm reluctantly going to have to agree with Lowey on some points. For others though, he seems to still be looking through those rose coloured glasses.

It's almost as if Lowey uses the foz, steals all my information and turns it into an opinion piece.


PS why does it look like Jones is sitting next to a mannequin? Is he selling Jets jerseys on the side?

[q-money]

hey these blokes are coming 8th as well, looks like we share the same values i.e. lack of ambition, talent

At least it is starting to become clearer what our club's business model is - will we make the top 6 in the balance sheet league?

I suppose this is the way of modern football. I guess it is a realisation it restricts the manager of the team to only 3 visa spots they can choose, because we need one for a Chinese player and the other for a Chilean player.

No wonder you are terrible at FM.

Kokko, Brown, Nobby, Leilei and Poljak (who will apparently become Aus soon).
