True never saw that, thanks for the info
Hoffman posted on IG that he'll miss his bestie Mullen. I'm assuming it's Mullen leaving.
You say that like the bloke cares about us.
Exactly what he done so far to help us succeed??
Na mate he's tight as with Jarrod.
I noticed he was off contract. He was very impressive this year, i would sign him but we already have Johnny K and Jackson for cover there?
He did play out wide for Phoenix too. Seems someone who can legit play right across the back line.
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
He got a release for personal reasons
Wanted to move back home to Sydney area for some reason
So I backing if he wanting to stay in HAL he going to one of the 4 NSW teams.
Smurfs have Grant and WSW have just coughed up for Risdon
So it either us or Gypos for him
i see what you did there.
I am hoping we shed Mullen, then use Boogs, Jackson, Johnny K and add Tratt. I think there would be good competition to partner Boogs yet flexible enough to play other positions. I would rather that than stump up huge $$$ for another expensive CB
Jackson needs to step up this year. Cement that CB starting role. He is not a LB at all and signing Georgievski makes sure he won't be again. 6 and 10 is where the money needs to be splashed.
Dino Djulbic?
Contract not renewed at Perth.
Obviously Tratt, being a youngster would be a better option. However, Djulbic would be a solid option if cheap enough.
34, no thanks
I'll assume that Mullsy has signed with someone else in that case, doubt a new coach would have made the call so soon. Shame, I rate Mullsy at the very least as a squad member, but definitely as a CB, we were a tighter unit with him and Boogaard in tandem rather than Jackson there.
Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...

Newcastle Jets are harnessing the power of Facebook to unearth foreign talent as they seek to bolster their roster for next season.

With his eye on attracting a Diego Castro-like visa signing, football operations chief Joel Griffiths - whose playing career took in China, England and Switzerland and France - has turned to the web to scour his far-flung Facebook contacts in a novel approach to player recruitment.
Though the as yet un-named new Jets coach will have the final say, club legend Griffiths is doing his best to provide some interesting options when Mark Jones's replacement is announced.
"We have a foreign (marquee) spot we want to fill and are searching under every rock to find that player," declared Griffiths.
"It's amazing how helpful Facebook can be - there are people I played with in France and Switzerland who I've reached out to for recommendations on players in their leagues.
"We have done a similar thing with players in the MLS, and it's incredible the feedback you can get through that Facebook forum.
"It's a good thing, though obviously it's really important you trust the judgement of those you're talking to."
The Jets, who plan to unveil a new coach imminently, have 10 players coming off contract including imports Morten Nordstrand, Ma Leilei and Mateo Poljak - none of whom look likely to be retained.
Finnish forward Aleksandr Kokko has a year remaining on his two-year whilst Englishman Wayne Brown has two seasons left on his contract.
Highly prized import Rory O'Donovan has just penned a two-year agreement in a significant boost for the wooden spooners.
"Whoever does eventually come in will have a stronger squad than in previous seasons to pick from," insisted Griffiths.
"We have some really good players on our shortlist for available positions ... players I rate highly from my playing days."
He has done absolutely nothing this season except get rinsed and have mistakes leading to goals wether playing RB or CB. Im sorry but anyone who rates Mullen wasnt playing here. A squad player is expected to at least play 5 games I reckon and we would need to be comfortable in them doing a decent job for us and Mullen and Kanta to a lesser extent havent done that in a long time.
(Ill beat you guys to it. "here we go Stanny hating Mullen again" I dont hate Mullen just sick of players not performing at all and people saying they should or the club renewing their contract
Jackson and Koutroumis mistakes led to far more goals against us, so why not have a shot at them as well? Mullsy was nowhere near as bad as what he's purported by some here to be as a CB, I personally would prefer to keep him, rather than have a choice of Marc Warren or Marc Warren when we are trying to finalise our squad for next season
It's the"BK Syndrome". Specific to this very foz.
Some guys cop it continuously and every error is jumped on and analysed.
Some like Griff could murder their own mother and it would be covered over quickly.
Jackson is Young so is Johhny K and ive seen them have good games mixed in with the mistakes. When's the last game Mullen was good all season??? I can only name 2 Perth away first time and City in Coffs thats not good enough for a starter or squaddie
Jackson young or not made a pile of them and should have been hooked
Only problem was Mullen Boogaard was the only real options
Johnny K made some mistakes but nowhere near as many as the rest of them did
Bloke was also not regularly selected as a starter anyway so he was dealt with after poor form
Dino Drill Bits whether 34 or not is an HAL standard player
He also has some Mongrel in him
Being he is better than the blokes we have already exactly why we saying no to him ??
He might be worth a 1 year deal to help with our rebuild that going to take a couple of years particularly if we ain't going to replace our entire shit backline straight away
1 year as a short term plug isn't the worst option
