Hmmm, I could say I told you so about Doka and Barcelos, but it would seem too much like smugness, so I won't.

All I will say is please stop bagging out players until they have had a fair go to adjust and acclimatise.

You may also look for their good points which are sometimes harder to see than a glaring mistake.

It is much friendlier.

I remember not to long ago when all we wished for were players who would bust a gut for the Club. I do not like seeing players who do this getting hammered here.

Great to see them contribute tonight. Pure enthusiasm and belief.

Disagree. Keep bagging them, so they come good!
System seems to be working.

Will Wilson.

Can't hate people not on the field.

 

[dlanod]

Thats the rule. Drop the ball to waste time after you shape to take the throw is an automatic yellow.

It was more a complaint about the lack in the other situation.

 

[Huddo]

The Irishman wasn't on the field.

 

[dlanod]

Watching the highlights reminded me of a thought during the game...

If Reec could perfect that little chip of Torres', he'd have half a dozen goals this season.

 

[Ironbark]

So ALM Champions to ASEAN Champions hey!

 

[Ozhammer]

There’d better be some repercussions for one of their players assaulting one of our staff

I think it was a non-playing player not a staff member, possibly Steeley? All the same, you can’t punch any opponent and I sincerely hope he gets his comeuppance the beret-wearing prick.

Well the boys did go to Hell and back but of course we had an Angel so it was destined for us to win but it was a heart stopping match.

Germain was a prick at the end but what a good player.Nisbet is unbelievably good and he "towered "over Davila in the battle of the midfield generals.Balard also was tremendous and is very underrated by other teams and fans.Danny had to make some great saves which kept us in the match.

What a smorgasboard of attacking talents we have-Torres,Barcellos,Edmondson,Kuol,Doka ( yes he has come good),Brandtman,di Pizio and Theoharous with Nisbet pulling the strings.

BTW our club has benefited from Latin American players-Perez( unfortunately for too brief a time),Urena,Tulio,Torres,Doka and Barcellos.Lately we have picked up Torres and Barcellos via Portuguese clubs so hopefully we can use this connection as people move on.

Now for Odisha with Cy Goddard and Krishna.

Had to google map it. 9 hours drive south of Kolkata. In a place called Bhubaneswar.

Is that the Indian equivalent of Campbelltown?

That was an absolutely monstrous performance by Nizz.

One of the best games ever by Mariner in my view, but we say that nearly every week.

 

[FFC Mariner]

watching Edmo at pitch level, he makes the strangest runs for #9, he runs wide leaving their CB's to play as sweepers
He isn't a technical player and his lack of 1st touch does let him down on occasion.
I think he is struggling to settle in a new country, new comp. Not used to pitches being so fast?

He definitely went to an entire new level lastnight, unbelievable midfield work.

I think we also need to stop considering Doka as a full back or even a potential winger. IMO he’s your classic right midfielder of a 442 of years goneby. Won’t go past many in one on ones but good enough for link play and can deliver handy early crosses and obviously can hit a shot.

I think he actually beats more players than most realise. Sometimes he tries to push through and loses the ball but we have plenty of others that do the same. feel he is starting to settle in Aus now and could be a very handy player/squaddie next season. He has been a good back up for Storm and it was only the other week he was almost MOM.

Always had the same opinion

Niz at 10 is a must now Tappy is fit. We are so much better with him running the attack.

Similar to what Noah did with Faz a couple years ago before he got injured and disappeared

 

[Tevor]

I wonder if the club is thinking of an away trip to India like Bali. Those in the know, do you think there is a possibility? I have a burning desire building up to want to go to this away leg against Odisha.

I agree, especially Barcellos, was sitting close to the sideline of the eastern side for his first game. His foot speed in close contact and his dips and false runs make him a nightmare to mark. Further once he understands what support there is around him and how to use it he will be very dangerous.

 

[true believer]
