Not if he opts for Scotland!

This squad has been dubbed the bolters on Twitter and I think it's fair enough. At the same time it comes across as really clean or lean. The positioning quantities seem right.

I think there'll be a lot of hunger in this camp.
 
While Toure and Irankunda need more practice together, we're really not left wondering what can they do as they've delivered in such a short time. The same goes for Bos and Balard. I really hope this window allows us to see Juric that bit more Hut also how McGree and Goodwin combine with others.
 
I don't mind the selections of Overy, A Toure and Okon. I don't think any really deserved it on merit but I think its a good way to use the bottom of the squad to look at up-and-comers. They all have a tonne of potential.
 
I'm less enthusiastic about the inclusions of D'Agostino and Juric, although I'll keep an open mind with Juric because his form warrants it.

I think Sapsford and Stamatelopolous are both hard done by given their form. Scotland is a better level than Slovenia. Daggers has no form to speak of, comparatively.

I think Poppa is after a particular player profile. I think he's after someone who is good in the air or has a physical presence. Daggers is good with his head and Juric is a big body - not sure about his heading.

I reckon if a players pops up with this profile they could be a bolter for the world cup squad.

In comparison Sapsford, Stama and even Botic are more clever is terms of their runs, positioning, finishing.

I feel for Yengi but he's really dropped off.

It's a shame about Nishan Velupillay, who scored a brace against Indonesia on his Socceroos debut. He had surgery on his ankle in the off season but in his first game back for Melb Vic he pulls a hammy. Sometimes big challenges and setbacks make a footballer hungrier, to make up for lost time. I hope so, he's got something to offer our frontline.

Keeps on the way he's been going he'll be back in Europe by January.

If that's the case he needs to pick a team where he's playing regularly because at his current rate of progress I'd say he's a shoe-in for the WC next year. An over-ambitious transfer could screw that up for him.

If NoMates indeed has First Nations ancestry as he claims to, then I’m a Cambodian Cham Muslim..
