I would take him over Hamill or Llorente any day. Aspro left for less money but wanted playing time. If he knew how much a shambles our injury record was going to be this season, i doubt he would have left. Wanderboy and sonar 2 Link to comment
Wanderboy Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 1 hour ago, mack said: We don't need him. We've got Tass. No reason why we couldn't have both. They'd both be reasonably cheap as well, so strength in backup. Link to comment
mack Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Money spent on a backup anything is secondary to getting our first 11 sorted. If we need a 4th choice central defender anyway we're likely stuffed our chances of winning a trophy regardless of who gets put in. Link to comment

People just want someone to point the finger at. Realistically our owners have been anything but tight. It's a salary capped league, you're going to have your ups & downs, you're going to have your squad fillers. Lederer has invested a ton of money into our club both on & off the pitch. Try being an Ipswich supporter and argue the same point. Smoggy 1 Link to comment

We need some continuity. He has significantly reduced the amount of mistakes in his game whilst being out under huge amounts of pressure.

wswnick Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hamill would be eligible for loyalty concessions. One of our few opportunities to leverage salary cap exemptions. Link to comment

One of our few opportunities to leverage salary cap exemptions. Good point. If we can indeed use a 200k max loyalty spend on a single player, we should be keeping him. Tass will take his spot on the bench or in the park if Aussie pat gets injured again. Hamill can back up the whole back 4 if we need it Edinburgh and MajorMelons 2 Link to comment

It is an open secret that the cap is not enforced. Everyone turns a blind eye when the owners spend more money than the cap allows. Glory was only done because a whistle blower, and FFA was forced to step in. Taking the what’s good for x is good for the league. Look at Perth this year, Sydney last year, Victory etc. I don’t feel we have taken advantage, maybe the training facility has affected things as you say but not saying we aren’t spending the cap but perhaps we should be using the brown paper bag approach a bit more. sonar and Jimspade 2 Link to comment

Erebus Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Has Babbel used him at all this season? I recall maybe 1 appearance? That tells you everything considering the amount of youth Babbel has been happy to use. Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment

Sithslayer1991 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I think we all knew the writing was on the wall for Scott as he was not used last season and been unsighted this season. Too slow is the big criticism from what I remember 2 seasons ago. Link to comment
