    Although check this out:

    --------------Biraz----------------
    Brillante---Chapman--CB----Goodwin
    -------Zadkovich----Caravella------
    --------------Brown---------------
    ---Taggart-----Heskey-----Burns---

    BK, Neville, Regan, Cooper, Hoole, Gibbs, Virgilli, Bridges, Oxborrow

    If Brown can hit GCU form, and our centre back is Ljubo-esque (aka a leader, brings the young guys in, etc) that doesn't look too bad IMO
    Personally think we need a much stronger CM other than Caravella too

    I tend to agree. But Caravella should have a spot and so should Zads. I think we need a better #10.

    I rate this lineup


    -----Zad------Zenon----
    --------Burns-----------
    Taggart----Heskey-----Goodwin


    Burns as a second striker behind Heskey

    James Brown is not good enough. We definitely need a better #10

    ^ Unfortunate but very true. Was inconsistent at best at the Cold Toast.

    If not for a couple of sharp goals toward the back end of his last season at the Coast it would be James Who ?.

    Of course they have.

    On a side note - would anyone consider a play for Lucas Neill? Command the backlie, teach Chappo and Regan. Sure there are negatives relating to this, but he's free and still playing for the national team.

    I'm sure I'll get shot, and I'm not entirely convinced of myself thinking that either. More of an "I wonder"

    I would love him provided he stays on his feet in the box unlike 06

    would take him on say a 2 year deal, provided we had a speedy player alongside, and not on marquee wages.

    Neill has expressed his desire to play in an Australian capital city, if he plays in the HAL at all. He'll probably go for petrol-dollars again "to stay prepared for Brazil" and after which retire and starts random acadamies.

    Ah ok. That kind-of rules us out. Stranger things have happened though.

    the light rail announced today might swing it for him.

    My source tells me had been discussed and discarded. Apparently hard to work with, therefore the fear of feeling GVE's wrath and ending up running laps with Kasey Wherman had put management off.

    My source had said same a few weeks ago. Deal would rely on loan or free transfer as still on contract in Korea.

    Interesting stuff NS. Cheers.

    We'd be muppets not to discuss him at the very least. Shame we'd pass on a decent player that can help develop not only our squad by our nations next gen because if a fear he couldn't work with van egghead

    Absolutely agree. He would be great for our youngsters and a solid short term investment down back. We would be better off without van eggnog, but management won't pay out his deal.

    Fwiw I saw another side of Neill while in the old dart. He lobbed at a walkabout on Australia Day, dropped his card on the bar and left it there for an hour. Many thirsty Australians will remember that for a long time.
