We Are The Reds

The two goals against Newcastle were, 1. A loose ball falling to him on the edge of 6 yard box after Cirio failed to control a wicked Goodwin cross. 2. He received the ball on the edge of the area and initially fluffed a shot straight into a Newcastle defender but the ball rebounded back to him ins...

So what is Valkanis's role in the club now?

He was the youth team coach and the NPL side coach and senior side assistant manager??
Now he is youth team coach and assistant manager and Pezos is part time NPL side coach??

You'll find that Euge is our highest paid player, easily. Then it'd be Chelo, Cirio, Isa, Bruce and Elrich, roughly in that order too. I'm not saying they'd all be on an even amount. I'll break it down. Salary Cap = $2,600,000 #1 - Galekovic - Exempt #2 - Marrone #3 - La Rocca #4 - McGowan #5 - Mal...

Bruce just does not get in the right positions or make the right runs, hence why Carusca always picks out Sanchez or Cirio who do. End of the day, Bruce is the wrong player for AU. A Juric type would have no problem scoring in the 433 as would Fornaroli who quite honestly is another class to Bruce....

I suspect Bruce is on quite a bit, he is a former Socceroo, there might have been competition for his signature when he returned as he did well at Gold Coast, 10 goals in 23 games. Australian strikers are a rare commodity. I know he has resigned since then, but I doubt he has taken a pay cut. I woul...

So Scott you are saying the club is trying to meet the minimum spend of the cap (90%) by paying less than the 90%? That is next level cost cutting but I totally think you are right!!! Just speculating that it could be the case. I have absolutely no evidence of it being so except the administration ...

I think the club could also be playing a trick with Babalj's wages. I understand that the clubs must include the entire wage of a player on loan in the salary cap even if the club is only playing far less than that. Perhaps the club has Babalj on next to nothing but using the extra wage that Babalj...

So Malik is injured again, disappointing.

La Rocca on the bench as the back up CB.
Tongyik and Babalj to miss out.

Also I wonder how often this scenario occurs. Carrusca gets the ball looks up centrally, no option. Looks out wide and see a player to pass to. That player gets the ball and either crosses badly or with no one in the box. And if they don't cross then they run at the defense and lose the ball or they...

Your number 10 is not going to get many assists when the striker he is playing with is not good enough. Blaming Carrusca for the strikers' lack of ability is a bit low. Carrusca is clearly a top a-league player, he was not at his best at the start of the season but every player has patches of bad f...

I am not entirely sure of this but the article above says we have 1 spot on the roster. My understanding is the club has 4 possible spots on the roster as the absolute maximum number is 26. However this includes 3 youth players who can be payed at a lower rate, not sure if there are any of these ty...
