Pretty stoked wit Jamieson, if we can also sign another CB I'll have quite a bit of confidence in our defence for the first time over the City era.

[hey shorty]

LOL good luck guys. Any other Reds player or staff member you'd like to sign ??

Seriously though, he will be a decent signing for a year and then frustrate you for the next 2. Seems to be his entire career.

Nah we're good thanks .

Why did we sign La Rocca?
I want to see some bold moves and signings.

He's now an Aussie signing so in a sense it's not a bad move, cheap too.

The A-League should be renamed the R-League for Recycled League.

IMO La Rocca is a depth signing rather than a starting XI one. I reckon we'll go for a a CB and a marquee CAM with our last two visa spots, leaving us with good quality defensive cover at CB with La Rocca and Tongyik, and Malik if necessary (although i think the club views him as a CDM backup for Kilkenny now).
Squad shaping very nicely if we nail our visas.

Decent win tonight, 10-0 lol. Bruno with 5!

Franjic gone. Who's on the market???

Or do we give Pierias the gig?

This is disappointing. Liked his season and would have been great with some better support at CB.

Really? I reckon he's been incredibly underwhelming for us. Expected much better on his Roos and Brisbane form...

Agree he didn't reach those heights but in the circumstances (shitty formation, weak defensive players around him, open to counterattack, etc.) I thought he was a rare positive.

 

[pantskyle]

Had that injury as well. Shame that he has left.

The World Game has reported that we've made an offer to James Troisi. Exactly what we need, in my opinion.

Oh boy. Yes please.

 

[TheKanga]

Looks like he struck out in Europe...

 

[Jozzy]

Fairfax media saying the deal is basically done for Troisi!
