WSW have been invited to play in an u17's tournament in China, against clubs from other conferences including Benfica & AC Milan. Tournament will take place in mid August & will necessitate our u18's NPL2 game v's Bankstown Berries on the 18th, being rescheduled. Participation in the tournament will be financially lucrative for our club, as we'll receive an appearance fee & all expenses are covered by the hosts.

With memories of Adeleke, Saba, Pio, Bruno, Borda, Jumpei and Cejudo reasonably fresh in memory, it is understandable that some are yet to be convinced of B-J. But doom and gloom looks different. Considering the money players are being paid in Germany, it is remarkable that we managed to sign two BL1/2 players under the cap. B-J is a far more accomplished and talented player than Adlung, Bozanic, Nico Martinez, Vidosic, or Troisi for that matter. Hoofballers don't sign contacts with Gladbach, Bayern, Schalke, Hertha. To put things into perspective: BL2 was Adlung's highlight in Germany, while it was B-J's lowlight. B-J played 4th tier football in Munich because he couldn't break into the team at Bayern (at the time it was difficult getting past the likes of Thomas Mueller, Ribery, Robben, Olic) and in Berlin when he returned from two ACL injuries. Beyond that he was an established BL1/2 pro. His age won't be an issue. Ono was 33 when he arrived, had health and fitness issues, effectively came out of retirement. Broich was 30 when he joined Roar, and his career and personal life were pretty much down the toilet at that time. Neither applies for B-J. Even though he hasn't played much in Brazil for whatever reason, he has been training for the last couple of years, and has been injury free. He has two months to come up to speed. If he is fit, healthy, and motivated he'll be an outstanding HAL player. The same applies for Ziegler. Very few HAL defenders would cut it in BL2.

On a positive note - the Darwin media have not stopped talking about the match!!! The NT News had several articles on it, and every news break on the radio is mentioning it. Fantastic stuff!

His wife is the marquee

Saw this on twitter. Looks more like a hostage photo than a celebration.

Just some pics I took these about last Thursday week...enjoy

Welcome home Kerem

I seem to remember most of the squad had the whole season off last year. Time to put in the hard yards.

Only signed for 1 season, so it's up to him to prove his worth to Babbel

It's the most appropriate response to their performance. No more smiling after poor games.

Look at the result positively: We were just maximising NAB's $2,500 per goal donation to the non A-League club for every goal they scored.

I expected 7 goals in this game but not in this fashion

What they need is a retired sprinter who has never played professional football before

Yeah, unfortunately the stands still face the pitch................

Gaffer planned for most of the starting 11 to get 90 mins tonight, hence only the 2 subs. Sotirio was given a opportunity to start tonight, but didn't impress & was jagged after 45, with Roly moving to LW & Grozos playing at #10. Fitzgerald replaced Kamau on RW after 75 mins. Vedran, Bridge & O'Doherty all injured & not available for selection tonight

I'll reserve my judgement until i see his wife/missus instagram

As long as the first parts correct I dont care if he has hair like Dino, or a wife that looks like Dino for that matter.

They just brought a former German international (as player) and bundesliga manager in, that’s not a holding pattern. Nor was the money they lashed on Cejudo and Reira. if they had appointed Okon (or tolerated another season of process) that would have been a holding pattern

Good, I hope they hit an ancient indigenous area of high significance thus delaying the pool build indefinitely....... hmmmmm, well we nearly have our stadium now....and the old pool site and whingers are long gone......maybe I should be a bit more understanding now....... nahhhh **** em.

(sigh)

Fellas, Im getting together a Futsal side made up entirely of overweight alcoholics. We're going to call ourselves the wanderers. If anyone would like to pay us $295 for a membership we will gladly accept. We expect to be the most entertaining Wanderers side going around this summer

Early into the match. Elrich looks good. Really good. Him and Kamau feeding off each other I'm excited.
