Are they going to reschedule Adelaide Uniteds if Vidosic gets a call up or McKain? I doubt it.
Melbourne Victory in sight as Kewell looks to head home

Will Vidisic or McKain be the difference between a 20k or 40k+ crowd thus ensuring the cash strapped league gets more cash? I doubt it.
I'm not denying there's a double standard here, but when the league is fighting for the publics attention everything should be done to ensure it gets it.

No problem with me moving the game back to Friday night, so long as it is done straight away and not at the last minute.

It is really a problem both ways. They are seen to be favouring sides on one foot, but also trying to help grow the sport on the other. People will bitch if they favour, people will bitch if Kewell isn't there.
Ok, so it seems I was wrong... good get by Sydney if reports of press release today are true.

Have been reading the Blackburn forums and it came as a surprise to most of their supporters, seems as though he requested and his contract was terminated by mutual consent. Nothing has come out of Blackburn officially though.
They cannot understand why Kean would have let him go for nothing.

Just read on foxsports, he requested to return home for family reasons.
Haha- don't get used to that saying this year
Will take a lot more than Emo to fix that shambles of a club.
I think it's to do wit their wage bill, they've been wanting to slash it for a while.

Interesting stats:

Lets compare goalscoring eh?
I guess both those players have scored more goals than Peter Schmeichel
Or how about in AFL Terms: James Frawley with that Eljay Connors?

I think the games played is more the point here given everyone thinks Kewell will spend more time in the injury room.

61 League games in the last 3 seasons v Emertons 74. Cup games, Kewell has played 6 to Emmo's 9. Kewell has played 21 European games, Emerton has not had a chance. Basically in a league where they play 34 games a season, Kewell has played under half that once. Emerton got close with 20 out of 38 once.
However while they have played a similar amount of games over the last 3 seasons, Kewell's missing games have been due to soft tissue type injuries. Emerton's are generally impact ones, such as the one against Boro that put him out from the End of January to the Start of October. 5 months of football (half a season)
Agree that the difference in injuries is important- soft tissue obviously more concerning than impact (Emmo has had soft tissue in the past too I might add).
However the total of games is the total of games. Doesn't matter whether they're cup, league, Eurpope etc- when it comes to A-League it's just league matches. The gap between matches is normally 7 days meaning Kewell is unlikely (touch wood) to miss as many as he would for someone like Gala who have 40-50 games a season.

LOL @ Melb fans when they find out that Hernandez is the actual playmaker for their team and that Melbourne Heart performs better than Melbourne Victory
