As for long off-season boredom, nothing beats texting random numbers with:

" I've buried the body and cleaned up all the blood. what should I do next ???"

Scabbott thinks he's a chance of doing a Krudd, we could be in for interesting times whoever wins. Especially if the Greens manage to roll Albo.

OK who didn't enjoy seeing SFC get knocked out of the ACL in the 90th minute last night!
I had just about given up after all the chances Shandong missed.
And Graham Arnold's response -

“I have to be more ruthless,” he said.
“I have to forget about developing kids. It’s what I love, but I’ve got to forget about it.
“I’ve got to get the best players I can find, and if that means I’m like a lot of the other clubs where I don’t have any kids, that’s what I have to do.
“It’s always something I’ve really enjoyed developing, and I watch the Socceroos squads and there’s five or six players I helped.
“But I can’t do that anymore. I have to think about what needs to happen to win.”

Tries to paint an altruistic picture of his massive failure in 2015/16.
Of the younger players only Woodcock and Naumoff are off contract this year, he will still have Calver, Blackwood, Hoole and OReilly on the books, not that he did a lot regarding their development.

I heard that Andershite got a lol

Yep, stopped a goal scoring opportunity by dragging down a striker in the 6 yard box. Funny thing was it should have been called back for off side before the foul took place! Rumour is that Anderson is off to the middle east.

I reckon Arnie is on thin ice. A bad start next season and he will be Gonski.

I may be quite wrong here, but when you look at his head coaching career, he may be somewhat overrated. Apart from his 3 years with us, what has he done? And let's remember the year after the championship, after we'd lost a raft of our best players, he wasn't travelling all that well just before he went to Japan.
Could it be that the players he had here performed as they did in spite of him, not because of him? The same could possibly be said of the players he had at FC last year.
Much as I hate to say it, Poppa has a better record the past 4 years, especially as he's built two new teams from the ground up and won the AFC with one of them.
Certainly FC should have done better than it did this year.

I said something similar when he went to sfc - that I think the Mariners and the culture made him successful and less so the other way around. The two may have been complimentary in fairness and time will make all clear
