Redmayne is rumoured to be picked for the Socceroo squad this week. Could well be 3 John Crawley products in the squad.

Holy f**k...................Redmayne is a Socceroo...............so it was only a decent coach that stopped me playing for Australia!!!!

Good branding as far as it goes to fitting the region and is distinctive. Obviously those people in the region who they consulted with think it will look cool on T-shirt’s and caps. I think it will too.

There was a brilliant Orchy bottle logo in the same colours, very tuned in to C'Town but i didnt save it. Very funny.

Redmayne should be nowhere near a Socceroos jersey.

Grant is a solid player. Redmayne is dodgy but slowly getting better.

Who else is putting their hand up for that spot? Like him or not he’s one of our best RB options and deserves to be there. On top of that Arnold knows how he works and how to get the best out of him.

Andy Harper is saying Western United will play 8 games in Geelong, 2 in Ballarat and 3 at Docklands. That is incredibly dumb and is not going to engage with any fan base.

Great to see someone who has worked hard to make their dream come true recognized.

Ouch, Stajcic's task just got a hell of a lot harder.

Anyone see the Oz loss against Korea?
Stats show we had 1 shot on target all game and Redmayne played in goal. It's not very promising is it?

We did much better than the stats suggested, but I don't think Arnie will ever fix our attacking woes. We were also playing a second even third string side against a full strength South Korea, and it took a lucky deflection and Redmayne not being a good keeper for it to go in. We controlled the game for the vast majority, even if we didn't make too many opportunities. Unfortunately I think that will be the last we see of Amini at international level, he just doesn't have the pace needed.

I hope not - he offers a lot more going forward than either Jeggo or O'Neill. Goodwin and Mabil were very poor on the press and Duke and Amini were doing a lot of the work for the first 30 minutes. Jeggo and O'Neill were cruising behind. He covered for Grant when he went forward (who was mostly ineffective). As he tired he dropped deeper and was the person that played out of the back with confidence, either passing or running into space.

As a #10, with 2 midfielders, or as a box to box midfielder with a DM behind and a #10 in front I think he has more to offer than either Jeggo or O'Neill.

Amini was our best mid in the first half. His tackle timing is very good and he can hit a pass. Yeah he isnt that quick but the koreans are. He's a serviceable backup.

He’s behind Rogic, Irvine, Mooy and Luongo though isn’t he.

Missed the game but heard the result before I got to watch the recording. Not sure I’ll bother. You recommend it JP?
