Socceroos and Australian Football

[Magrat Garlick]

He's off to Sutherland if you believe the article.

Kiefer?

Kiefer?

Kiefer vs Donald.

Now that's a battle.

BBC are claiming Yorke is now a Sunderland player.

 

[Great Birtannia]

Sydney received £200,000 ($AUS500,000) for Yorke.

It leaves a big hole in the side with the season just kicking off. Decent money for a 34 year old though that would have only seen the season out and left for free.

Too bad we have barely any suitable stadiums - Suncorp, Aussie Stadium and Telstra stadium. That's about it.

Football at the 'G and all the other cricket grounds is terrible. You end up with 30 metres either side of the pitch back to the crowd.

Not to mention the AFL, League and Union seasons are in full swing in June/July so all grounds are unavailable regardless.

It's a pipe dream.

Most big stadiums these days are like that because they put running tracks between the pitch and seats.

Im pretty sure they could turn all the big stadiums into suitable pitches.

**** the AFL, League and Union. The Football World Cup is bigger than all three + their world cups + everything to do with them put together!

Would be great if it happened that's for sure!

 

[ash chaulk]

totally agreed

Anyway up the Roar! Should be able to get up against the Knights, can't wait for it!

Knights 1 Adelaide 0

Knights 1 Adelaide 0

Yeah the far more dominant team.

Fair play to the Knights, thoroughly deserved that win. I thought they'd get up though, Adelaide are crap. They've barely bought anyone and gone in with the same old lame team. Serves them right.

 

[Robertinho]

I'm going to the Victory - Sydney game tonight at the Dome, should be good.

 

[Tim]

The great news is that the Knights create chances but the bad news is that they can't convert them! There is going to be alot of pressure on the portuguese player Dani to score goals when he returns from injury, but from what i've heard..he's born to score them so hopefully he'll stay fit.

 

[Great Birtannia]

Letting Brockie go to Sydney over money was a terrible move by the knights. How the hell can Sydney offer him more money and stay under the cap with all their players?

Melbourne v. Sydney drew 40,000 at docklands. Geelong v. Hawthorn today won't even draw that, probably 30 to 35,000. It was a great crowd and a good game.

 

[ash chaulk]

well offloading yorke would have helped..... plus dont sydney have a lot of guys on short term contracts?

 

[Robertinho]

Went off at the Dome last night, great atmosphere, better than some footy games I've gone to. One flare went off, and some knob threw it off the top tier.

 

[Tim]

I don't blame Brockie for leaving. The Knights were awful last season and the chance for Brockie to earn twice if not triple the amount as well as playing with a good side like Sydney..it would be too good to refuse. If the Knights can show some respectable scores over the next few seasons, the could get him back in the future.

Glory 2 Mariners 0

wow great display from Stan the man Lazaridis and also Leo Bertos awesome game... glory dominated and young vrteski was not really required for any big saves.

the cheeky quick free kick from colosimo was well thought out and fair. young sealed it with a bertos cross
