Matty will either do bloody well to be our top scorer as he is out with ACL damage (Xmas anyone?) or we will go worse that I think and he will get 2 and be top scorer.

peace and love to all a-league teams

 

[adz]

There was a Robert Flower who used to captain the mighty Dees in the 80's. Champion player. Maybe he is gonna have a crack at the A-League?

 

[Sean]

or is that a bonus from the FFA to every goal scorer?
