scarcev Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I was sitting on the fence about going or not but if it's farewell Bridge then I'm in. Agree with wendy re: Tarek, he gives his all and is not a player we signed to sit in the middle of defence and play 90 every week, his body let us down a few times but I honestly don't think he ever did.

But hopefully he's taking a good look at SFC, MV and what's happening in Perth to get a grasp of how to work with what he has on offer here. Wendy, I know this is off topic, but why nervous? We are having conversations about lack of success primarily because of ongoing sub standard import recruitment, plus Popa leaving when he did. MB is well connected, the new crop of imports will be different from what we've seen in recent years. Plus we'll have a top notch fitness coach at the start of pre season. The whole club has to work around the limitations, and it chooses not to breach the cap. Instead, the focus was on infrastructure. WSW have just gone live with the new training facility, and the new stadium is waiting. I believe that WSW have used the last seven years far better than Smurfs, VIC, Glory have used the 15 years they had, and it will make a difference. The owners consider the academy their crown jewel. Gombau chose to ignore that, while MB is running with it. He knows what an academy is supposed to look like, and that's what he wants to bring to the club. This season we've seen Suman, Greenwood, Wilmering, Cordier, Tass, Russel, Majok in the HAL squad, and on the pitch. Monge, Grozos, maybe Roberts, and a couple of others to come next. Add Baccus and JoD to the list. These guys are already making HAL journeymen redundant, and that's a good thing. From here onward the others have reason to be nervous.

MistahCampoy Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 We are heading in the right direction, maybe not on the pitch with the seniors (brain farts/ sub-par performances) as this season as shown but as a club wanting to grow from grass roots up and not have the top local talent leave for Europe the first chance they get will be definitely a big plus for us in the next decade compared to the other HAL clubs. From what i have read the new academy will be free for developing kids and the only other club to do that is the Roar so far. Sooner or later we will be the first club in Australia to reach the 3 star world class academy status, its only a matter of time with the investment put into it. Agree that we need to start making HAL journeymen redundant and let the young blood give it a good shot to prove they either have what it takes or not at the top level in Australia. The Evergrande cup championship was where we showed this positive progress and development as well, https://www.goal.com/en-au/news/wanderers-academy-shows-age-is-no-issue-after-shining/1xwxsrm7k4zkl1vf6f26j7dekl wendybr, Zelinsky, Paul01 and 4 others 7 Link to comment

It left a bad taste and then the long drive home didn't help. The only reason I may still go is to farewell Bridge and I assume Terek.
