Could end up as good as his brother but not impressed at all in many if his limited minutes

That's the thing. A few minutes here and there don't give much clue as to the final product a player is able to produce. From that point of view, out squad depth is not unreasonable in the A League. I think that coaches need a better understanding of utilizing their players across the season, and of course, those extra games for an expanded competition would help in that regard.
 
I was hoping that most of the players would see the benefit of playing in Asia next year, but maybe Milli has had a word with a few about exploring their options, AKA, you are unlikely to get a run next year, because the team needs to be better than they are now

I wouldn't at all be surprised if Vergos did do well at another club. I don't think he is necessarily a bad player, he did pick up 7 goals and an assist this season. That might sound just ok, but he only started 11 games. The rest he was subbed on. That's a goal every 177 minutes. For context, golden boot winner Sam Cosgrove averaged a goal every 176 minutes. I reckon Vergos was just the wrong type of player for the way Victory were setup. He's kinda like JMac. He can get into good goal scoring positions, but relies heavily on others getting everything right. Like JMac, he can only score against clubs with poor defensive abilities. This season he scored against AU, Nix and CCM. Good defensive structures will be able to nullify him though.

Jets have promoted 2 Academy graduates onto scholarship contracts. Oliver Cockle who is a AM/RW and Jordan Baylis who is a Keeper. Both local lads, good to see

Have heard some good things about Cockle - hopefully gets some minutes in Aus Cup like Nunes last year.
