Squad Cleanout

[pv4]

Alright, so let's play a squad cleanout game. Imagine every single one of our players was off-contract at the end of the season, and we have a week to re-sign who we want, or tell those unwanted to find somewhere else to play. Who makes the cut from the current crop? Disregard the fact that Montano is on loan, or Caravella injury replacement, etc. If you could re-sign any player from the current squad, who would make your cut for next season? And if you are cleaning out players from the current squad, provide a little list as to who you'd like them replaced with (and attempt to be realistic in terms of wages/cap/marquees/etc). Note that this thread isn't an attempted "get rid of em all" etc - have a real go at it. Feel free to write reasoning next to each player. The (V) represents foreign player.

So your of the opinion that there are only 5 blokes in our squad holding us back from reaching our potential and one of them is the Yoof team Goalie???

**** me WLG Your are really stretching it to claim our playing group failures lay SOLELY at the hands of Solari Gallaway Virgili Roundabout and the absent Jonny Steele and replacing them would be all that is required

Looks like an elaborate plot to keep us shit forever to satisfy your Gypo loving fantasies

[pv4]

MFAW - note that I said cut 2/3 of the coaching staff.

I genuinely believe we have a squad capable of good things - if coached appropriately.

What does your list look like?

[Frodo]

Josh Barresi - keep
Mark Birighitti - depends on how he acts for the rest of the season. If he disrupts the squad cut him.
Zenon Caravella - cut
David Carney - Either keep him and cut Jeronimo or vice versa
Billy Celeski - keep
Mitch Cooper - keep
Marcos Flores (V) - keep unless he can't find fitness.
Sam Gallagher - keep
Sam Gallaway - cut
Joel Griffiths - keep
Andrew Hoole - keep
Kew Jaliens (V) - keep
Ben Kantarovski - keep
Ben Kennedy - keep
Brandon Lundy - keep
Adrian Madaschi - keep
Edson Montaño (V) - keep
Jerónimo Neumann (V) - Either keep him and cut Carney or vice versa
Scott Neville - keep
Jacob Pepper - keep
Taylor Regan - keep
John Solari - keep - can't do any damage to the squad.
Jonny Steele (V) - i rate him so i'd love to see him stay but he would have to be cut given the current situation
James Virgili - cut
Allan Welsh - keep

So that's 4 cuts and potentially 3 more depending on how the season pans out.

I agree with this. I think we have a squad with potential, but coaching staff that just aren't cutting it.

Who ever does the fitness/sports science stuff would also need to go.

As for players I'd like to see brought in, it would look something like:

- Scott Jamieson
- Alex Gersbach
- Connor Chapman
- Scott Galloway
- Isais (I'd take any of the Adelaide visa players tbh - although Carrsuca is too good for this league in general)

The sad thing is, as much as that list is potentially realistic, I can't see any of them with even the faintest hope of us getting them.

[Grimario]

That Chapman bloke was good on the weekend. Shame we can't get a player like him to our club.

Jaliens kept Nix onside for about 70% of their shots at goal. He's past it, would cut him without the slightest bit of sentiment and that's without even considering the abomination of a game he had at right back.

I blame the fact that we have consistently had an incompetent coaching staff, not the other way around

[Jetmaster]

Does anyone not realise that the chances of Griff retiring at the end of this season are quite high, unless we have a big finish?

Of course... but this is some fantasy shit about who we would cut and keep.

All but one of us who has done their list in this thread prays that doesn't happen.

[leftrightout]

Everyone besides Jeterpool keeping Madaschi. Interesting, i think he has been horrible so far!
I do not rate him, but that is purely based on his performances for us only.
