Official South Melbourne Hellas thread 🔵⚪

Hope you dont mind me opening up a can of worms !

But how is Bul able to play for South Melbourne ? He has played for two clubs already this registration window. This will be the third and I was under the impression you could only play for a maximum of two clubs ?

I put this query in Gemini, so I cant claim to have the background knowledge.

A player may play for a third club in the same season if they are transferring between leagues with overlapping, non-aligned seasons.
Because Juach is moving back to Australia during the mid-season registration window, FIFA treats the calendars as distinct but overlapping periods. Since Juach mutually terminated his contract with Pacific FC, he is fully cleared to suit up for South Melbourne's run-in across the NPL Victoria, Australia Cup, and Australian Championship.
 
That would explain it, could you send me the link or source to that information so that i could have a read for myself ?
 
The signings of Retre and Juach were much needed. I'm hoping Yoo turns out to be handy. As for the other names, Ramazani is only temporary and the other 2 players are kids.

Overall, the club did well in the transfer window. I would not have released O'Sullivan or Leech, as they were handy bench players could help with the rotation.
 
Ramazani is here for the Aus championship as well, then back to Vanuatu for ofc in January.
That'a a good outcome. Provides stability and sufficient time to identify a Centre Back replacement. On a side note, if he impresses, and wants to stay, we could negotiate a transfer fee with Vanuatu United.

So, which one of your players didn't we agree to terms on?
 
If things go to plan and we can beat Thunder probably 1-0 haha and Avondale beat Preston or draw we can slowly make our way back into the top 6. Dandy City I think we will see more stronger squad.
We have the quality now to win the league. We just gotta finish in the top 6. That means defeating Heidelberg, Preston, Melbourne City Yth, and George Cross who are all above us. Plus the other fixtures as well to get over the line.

If we can sneak into 6th spot, we'd likely face Avondale away and then Oakleigh away to qualify for grand final. Then its home to Lakeside. Alot of ifs and buts. It can be done.

Agree after the player announcements I'm confident we will be alright.

I dont represent anyone at south so this is coming from a neutral place.

To my knowledge the registration period from October25/26 can allow for only three teams played for. I was under the impression this is not considered an overlapping competition and that Bul as well as anyone else who has played Championship>A-League>NPL is considered ineligible. Would have to ask the PFA about this one.
