AFC Cup

[Rising Sun]

Every time he goes on a run it scares the beejezus out of me because it looks like a giraffe dribbling the ball, and I wait for a turnover and him to be out of position on a counterattack. But then he seems to do enough to keep it despite how it looks.

I have a lot of confidence in Dan's decision making and ball retention skills when he goes forward, but if things go awry then we are well organised and someone will cover for him. It's one of the strengths of the defence at the moment is that if someone gets out of shape then there always seems to be someone else popping up to cover for them.

Dan for me is playing as good defensively as what Kye was when he got the Hearts deal and NT call up, and is potentially much better on the ball and will continue to improve in that regard. He would make a good over age selection for Paris if we make it, especially given he is contemplating playing for Fiji

Looking up the Olyroos squad Farrell has been named and would be a favourite for being in the U23 Asian cup to qualify for the Olympics. The U23 asian cup clashes with the inter zonal finals for afc cup so it's likely we don't get him for that.

bloody hell. Alou to probably.

Luckily we have a Brazilian who was superb at LB last time he played there and linked the best of anyone with Torres.

But certainly not ideal especially with the cash up for grabs.

I’m with you he looks very comfortable. The defense sits off him and when he drives he is one little nick of getting past the last defender and through on goal.

Wouldn’t mind a wonder crack on the run from distance as well.

That’s the beauty of Tapp as he slots in and covers Dan as well when he goes or Steele later.

Did someone say gone for the season?

 

[Hello Sailor]

Bugger, how are we for left backs in the academy?

 

[midfielder]

Steel and Doka

 

[turbo]

Steel and Doka

And potentially Paull, especially if we shift into a back 3.

 

[priorpeter]

Yeah Smitty’s out for the season after getting shoulder surgery. Will be back next season.
Harry Menham in the academy looks a prospect at left or right back but is very, very green.

Are you obliged to release him for it or can you say no?

Didn’t Monty try that last year to no avail?

Not a FIFA window event so I guess you could say no

Stakes are high this time.

 

[Big Al]

No. Triantis and a couple of euro players haven’t been released but looks like all aussie clubs seem to have agreed as the announced players have already been approved by the clubs

Plus the club posted the congratulations to them

According to Joey Lynch a deal involved with the unbundling of the league to the APL means the A-League clubs have to release.
