Australia Cup 2023

Actually a genuinely nice guy tbh

He plays up on the goofy persona.

I took my kids to an episode of just for kicks when it was on Foxtel and he was a decent fella. Spent ages with all the kids taking pics and chatting.

Don't think we'll see too much more of Dan Hall if he keeps this form up.

Strange signing - he was poor when he was with us last time too

Don't agree. He's big, fast and has a good shot. He played forward today while he played wide in pre season. He'll be bench at best for the league but has something we haven't had for some time.
He showed that something in his couple of games and I think he brings something no other team has.

Potential to improve. Hally is just not a natural defender, I think he's go better in midfield

 

[FFC Mariner]

Sticking to positives.
We found our Danny replacement.
Paul and Kaltak as CB.
Kuol will star.
Theo is the new Silvera. Close to my MoM.

The rest we already knew

Would add I'm a fan of Doka

Looking forward to becoming one. based off pedigree and highlight reel confident he'll be terrific. But today apart from the set piece goal, didn't distinguish himself for me. Based on today, I thought Theo should be starting.

 

[Ironbark]

I doubt anyone will rewatch that game, but Doka was skilled and capable - he just clearly had no idea what he was meant to do in this setup yet

 

[Tevor]

Hard to judge much at all from that game as it was experimental and a wet and slippery pitch allowed to become a hack fest. Theo played well however I still get concerned he dribbles a bit too far and needs to learn to release the ball at more ideal times.

Yes, good young keeper. Who is he? [There was no big screen at the ground or Loose cannon to refer to]
Paul was very good and I'm surprised that Kaltak didn't start. They should make a good pairing.


I was a big Theo fan last year, and maybe yesterday was an anomaly, but he was the cause of a goal against us, was slow dropping back when he lost possession [and should have been able to since he didnt start] and had hissy fits waving his arms and arguing with Monty

It certainly was a hack fest and a major factor was this ref who has a habit of letting a lot of rough stuff go.

Yeah I noticed that from Theo as well.

Kaltak had only been with the team for a week so I get why he didn’t start. I like that when Kaltak came on no one was hooked, Hall could have been but stayed as CB for the whole match. Unfortunately it’s rocks or diamonds with Hall, he did some good things but also some very ordinary moments as well.

Anyone that has argument with monty wont last at club long if they dont change there attiude

Pretty sure he nearly gave us an own goal and was sloppy on the first goal conceeded.

That nearly own goal was an important touch. Likely goes to the Sydney player if he didnt get a foot in there. I appreciated the dive to save even if he didnt get in front of it.

Agree that wasn't that bad and we managed to cleared it, for their second goal though when he missed the ball completely (look like an air swing) and they scored was probably his lowest moment. Although he had a CB partner he hasn't played with before and a very young one as well. Both back lines were young and if the strikers were not so rusty could have been 6 all not 3 all.

VAR or not to VAR. it really doesn’t matter Danny FC will still get you. Shocking effort from the touchy who showed why he isn’t allowed his own whistle.

Im not sure about the love for Theo. Has great skills but passes to open team mates and back tracking aren’t it. And how was he gassed after being a sub. He should have come back 10k lighter but still looks to be a two run effort player. We need more.

Keeper did well.

SFC kids are good and it’s a real shame they are going to copy us and play them because they’d look good in yellow or on the bench crying.

Couple of blokes volunteering for extra sessions with the mental coach. Aiden will be having double sessions for a week. Go for space my friend. You are the freshest and your job is not to be flashy and take on the entire team. Run the clock out and you would have got another go next game. Shame he has talent but that was poor but the defense should have stopped that.

We gave the ball away repeatedly in that game but extra time was really bad.

Luckily the ribs on the webber enjoyed the extra time on the grill.

Bloody wiggle winning it for them again

Can’t wait for more set piece variations to get Koul free. He can jump. Could do high jump without bending his back. Still needs some muscle.

Last but certainly the best was Nizzy. He could of played another game while everyone was getting pies with Theo

Lachie Bayliss starting for scum.
