I think the kid in the red likes it

Interesting situation. They got burnt by Nabbout

The sort of thing I was hoping to see with the clubs taking over

We get around it by including the one FFA cup game. Along with the regular season, that satisfies Asia

Can't complain with that. Any update on Grozos??

Make it like futsal, can't pass to your keeper twice before an opponent plays it or just can't at all. Would speed up play and make it more interesting.

As I said in the line you half quoted; corporate refers to communication 👍

I'm giving some background and an idea of my perspective on him. I know his job won't be to defend active support, that was an example. As I've already said on this thread, my concern is he is generally conservative and tends to tow the easier, 'status quo' (corporate side) of Australian football. Having him around the place (or on speed dial) , he will have influence in the way the club deals with the media. The club has already been too corporate and 'family friendly' in its communication to fans and media. My fear is that won't change with someone like Gatt around. Read the thread, I know his job is not to defend active support.

I'll trust your judgement buddy, of course I hope you're right but my impression of Gat is that he's very very conservative and actually struggles to understand active support culture. Anyway, here's hoping 👍

According to that draft, they're trying to give us Round one at home to the Mariners, that's a positive

Makes sense then 😒

We'll see, I'd bet against it

Beautiful place. You can drive right around the island in a couple of days, very scenic and a nice bit of snow around until later in the year. I like Hobart too, like a pretty country town. Couldn't live there for crap but it's nice. Drive down to Melbourne and take the car over with the overnight ferry. Having said that, we won't have a game there... 😅

I'd take Barborouses every time over Kruze. He's stronger, at least as fast, if not faster and has a better eye for goal. His face is also much less punchable. Seriously though, I love Kostas attitude too, he doesn't sook, gets on with it and has great determination. Kruze on the other hand... I can just see him getting pushed off the ball all day.

1) yeah he wasn't good, all over the place... Surely he'll come good.? 4) I hope the boys get many chances to test the pitch out in game-like conditions. They were slipping way too much, it really shouldn't happen come the season proper. (I bet it will though) 5) terrible.
