What improvements do we want in Hal 4

[Teddy Bear]

After the spl games they cut to the hosts at the ground where they jibber for a little while until the managers give their press conference. Its usually a good end to the game to get the managers reaction to the game.

I know you can watch it on fox sports news but you have to put up with 20 to 30 minutes of motor racing, cricket, nrl, afl etc before they get to the football. This puts real pressure on a bloke when he has his missus in his ear about changing channels as the football is over. interested in is football.

I also don't know what the hurry is to end the coverage as its usually either world darts, championship poker or the american rodeo on after the game.

 

[Tassiemariner]

Whats wrong with world championship darts!

 

[Teddy Bear]

ha ha ha. that response took longer than I expected

 

[BrisRecky]

Nothing wrong with a 2000 lb bull jumping up and down on a cowboy either

(let me just say that i have no problems with rodeo)

no more salary cap. how can aussie teams entice decent players or seriously compete in the acl against teams who have unlimited amounts to spend

sure, if you like several clubs going bankrupt and a split between the aristocracy and the paupers like in every other bloody league. we've got to walk before we run.

 

[Kareem]

Why do you want Matt Osman to score?
he already has a couple b4...

I would rather see Danny score...if we are up by 2-3 and get a penalty- he could take it!

2) we cannot get rid of salary cap. I hate to say it...as much as I hate the salary cap, Mariners wouldnt have been able to go as good as we did! Imagine right now!
Sydney would buy out every1 Aloi$i style...

Exactly - The Salary Cap is a wonderful thing and makes the league fair and close! Personally I would hate to see the same teams finish top 4 all the time like we see in England!

If anything increase the cap or allow 2 marquees in the future?

 

[skilbeck]

i like the idea of a fluid cap that is readjusted depending on the average sponsorship of all the teams in the league

 

[Kareem]

well for 2 marquess we would 1st need to have each club using the marquee system...not to mention every1 proving that we could sustain 2 marquees per club- ie. right now
Sydney + MV could
Mariners, Adelaide + QLD maybe
JETS, Perth, NIx- no IMO

I would rather see MATTY SIMON score than either Danny or the other Matty, but in the mean time I will just continue to hope it happens one day sooner rather than later

 

[skilbeck]

even without a cap i still reckon we would be seeing the same sides and they would probably be paid the same amounts anyway

 

[Kareem]

I have given up on Matty SImon
IMO he will go one of two ways
No goals= and people will call for his head
or 3 goals (no more or no less)!


You really think Skillbeck?
I think Sydney would actually have some depth in their squad (which would be scary)...not to mention Fred still at MV! etc.

 

[skilbeck]

most clubs would be sensible about the amount of money they spend. sydney on the other hand would overspend and then probably end up going into administration when they dont ever end up making a return. because i dont reckon the financial benefits of success in the A League outweigh the costs of a team in a season.

its their way of saying "hey, we need to build up our national side.. considering most of our players who have now gone to clubs overseas are getting old.. we need new blood before we send out our young guys to their future dreams overseas too.. how can we do this? i know we limit the a-league team caps.. that way we're sure to pick young upcoming players"

to a degree it actually works.
look at Jedinak.
I know thats a biased opinion. but there would be similar cases in other teams Im sure.

NO MATTHEW BREEZE AND NO MARK SHIELD!!!
