Decker and Courtney perkins would have been the only 2 that I'd have been interested in from them.

They would have been good if we wanted to have a selection of players that were focused on NPL football during our OFC Pro League campaign. They wouldn't add much value during finals.

Just Courtney Perkins for me the rest belong in a relegation battle squad.

Jalloh will score goals for Georgies

Lets see shall we.

Anyway Sinisa needs to start coaching better. When Tommy G plays back he cant keep allowing Pasquali to be the lone hand in the middle of the park. Gaps are emerging that look alarming, he needs to show us he has a plan B. Altona, Bentleigh and Gully have had way too much joy in midfield, when Esteban gave away the midfield we at least sat deep and kept the play in front of us, the current team plays with a very high line thats getting easily exposed on transition.

The big fat hole in the middle of the park is because Sinisa is forced to play with two up top.. One to do the work and another to wear the pink boots his old man bought him to go faster. Play 442 with Bonada and Swibel and THEN see if there are any holes, even IF Tommy has to cover in CB for a few more matches.

I dont consider shedding a bad thing, infact given performances of some, i wouldve argued that it was infact a necessity in our situation post ofc, we needed a damn plan for how to correctly have done this though, and the right players shed, it always needed to be based on upgrading stocks.

Totally agree. We cannot carry such a large squad post the OFC Pro League competition has ended. These players will just end up playing in the U23s which does not benefit them, nor the club who would have an inflated player budget. Reduce the fringe players but bring in quality players to try and get ready for the Australian Championship.

Menelaou needs to partner Pasquali in the midfield if Giannakopoulos moves to the backline. It's just a no brainer !

Have heard this morning that.
- Charlie Leech has agreed a move to Manningham
- Pope, Coveny & O'Sullivan told to explore a "loan"
- Swibel is trying to get out of his contract but South are blocking

Swibel is trying to get out of his contract but South are blocking

I don't blame Swibel for trying to get out of his contract. Probably has an offer from a Sydney based NPL team where he is originally from.

Is also being benched for Mesourouni, what an insult.

Some crazy cash been thrown around in Syd. He does not look like hes settled in at South.

Nothing about incomings I’m guessing
Also hope Leech learns the meaning of Nick Marinos before signing there

Lack of playing time is the reason, being on the bench whilst Mesourouni plays cant be helping. Playing him causes more damage than just on pitch performance.

Nothing about incomings at the moment, believe Charlie knows Nick from his days at Port Melbourne when Nick was coaching the 23's. How anyone would be interested in going to play for him is quite baffling.

Like everything else these days its prob come down to money.....

Money always plays a part but so does game time and when the team is struggling like they are and players like Mesourouni are starting, players of Swibels quality on the bench are going to ask questions.

 

[southmelb]

It angers me that we wont go back to what worked for us. Swibel and Bonada both start and Cocks is the impact player off the bench.

All this bullshit just to fit a dud in.

 

[SMFC1959]

My fear is something happens on Sunday against Dandenong Thunder. For instance, a crucial easy miss to score the winner, a costly turnover that leads to a winner for Thunder, or at worse, an angry exchange with the supporters.

Things could really boil over.

So be it.

- Pope, Coveny & O'Sullivan told to explore a "loan"

Makes sense for 2 of them.

- Swibel is trying to get out of his contract but South are blocking

Ill even throw in the bow...Bonada can play striker if we get no one in for NPL and save the remaining contract money!

Bye bye! Και με κορδέλα!
