Yeah I picked up three of these on the weekend for my nieces... :) I wanted to get them scarves but was told that we sold out 300 of them on opening night against Olympic - wow.... The online shop needs to do better... none of the playing strips or scarves are on there....

That's great to hear that merchandise is selling really well.

The Australian Championship has rejuvenated Lakeside. Decent weather, decent opposition, and a real positive vibe around the club.

Anyone who thinks this competition is a joke and NPL football should be the focus, can just look at what resonates with people. Crowds of 500 at an NPL fixture against St Albans on a cold winter's night, and 3000 against a Brisbane team that no one has really heard of (no disrespect to Moreton City).

Hopefully we dont see it as a reason to rest on our laurels though... we need to do much more to utilize this renegagement! From marketing to sales. Saturation allows for continued brand awareness... sales and marketing exposure allows that.. online store needed to be way better imo.

My point exactly... i get we didnt know what to expect and dont blame them for that, but after round 1 vs Olympic 'no rings' we shouldve prepared for the next 2... now 1 better and online should be running lile clockwork for these items!

Just think how many of our jerseys we could have sold these past few weeks if the online shop was actually operational.

Does anyone know how long Nahuel is out for? We'll miss his manic intensity on the press big time

Unless im wrong a straight red for a professional foul is 1 week, dissent is 2 weeks and dangerous play up to 3 or more! Depends on what the ref wrote on the match sheet. As per the foul it falls in the second or third category theoretically.

A very stupid and needless decision on his part! Lets hope it doesnt turn out costly.

Agreed, he was getting really frustrated and was a very silly thing to do... no need, he had the defender at his back and clear control.... I dont think it suites him playing so deep behind Lavale, would have liked to see more of him with Manny .

Fully agree... Bonada is better as a fluid foward, but given the available talent its hard to alter that front line without leaving key player(s) out, havnjg him on the left keeps a defender constsntly engaged which helps us even when teams park the bus.

The current setup works well as we can see from the amount of chances we create, just that our finishing needs refining.

Yeah wouldve been a hard call to not start Lavalle out after the olympic game but Manny has looked way more dangerous and it would be a travesty if he doesnt get the nod for a start. Nothing against Lavale mind you just based on what we have seen so far, no doubt they can both offer things we need and im loving the healthy competition at this position.
