Supposed to be a decent coach. Mentored at CCM under Monty

Yes, I know. I remember when he was here. Random to pop up the Bulls is more what I meant.

Was supposed to be a decent player.......... turned out he wasn't.

He was more than a decent player - just well before he came here 11/12 - 16/17 played more than 25 games each season in the top level at Germany before an ACL. Never the same player after that.

170 odd Bundesliga games says he was reasonable.

But when you sign a guy at 34 who was carrying an ACL injury sustained after 30 you get what you deserve 🤷🏻‍♂️

My German mate is a HSV supporter and often told me how good a player Muller was. Absolutely raved about Broich before he came to Australia as well.

Shame, they don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

The HSVs, that is.

We all like Holdens Mick.

Regardless.....Broich was superb. Muller was shite.

With DPC winning the first team shirt and getting the contract extension.

Who is the academy No1. Would it be Jai Janovic?

Is warshawsky to old?

Jack is still eligible (2004 born). Jai (2008 born) has only just turned 16 so would be a big ask but as Big Dyl (and so many others) has shown if you’re good enough, you’re old enough.
Jack also put in some excellent performances towards the back end of last season.

you would presume it will he Jack then and Jai probably the 20’s and maybe gets a few games depending on the A League schedule

NPL draw is out now on the NPL website (or the Dribl app for those who use it)
Pluim must be getting some work done, as both the men and women are away for 8 consecutive weeks at the start of the season.

Shit that’s a rough start.

Yep all pitches were stripped and had drainage works done.

Means we get a decent run home in the second half of the season at least!
Not complaining, glad pluim is getting a facelift, though would’ve been good to see a double-header or 2 at the stadium again. Ah well.

 

[priorpeter]

Interestingly also - our 20s will now play after first grade. Whether this is in part related to the point deduction/forfeit shenanigans last season I don’t know (gut says probably).

Actually the pitch isn’t the reason… CCU playing at pluim round 1.

ccm are also at pluim round 2 - but then away until round 12. Girls are away from round 1-round 8. I see ccu have a few games at pluim during that time. Now (per usual) I have no idea!

And maybe like last year we improve as the season goes and those home games might really help avoid relegation

NPL season starts in three weeks on Friday 7 February with Manly hosting the Mariners.

Any Mariners’s squad news? Who is back? Who is looking good? How many players will Gibbo annoy and try to friend them on Facebook thinking they are his best friend?

Mariners usually put a squad list out just before R1, that is as much as a preview as you are going to get. Wouldn't surprise me if Gibbo has the full squad listing already though.

They do have their first trial game tonight v Hills Utd at Valentine according to the Dribl app, and further trials at Marconi and St George over the next 2 weekends
