No surprises. Ryan, Jones and Vukovic are comfortably our best keepers.

+xNo surprises. Ryan, Jones and Vukovic are comfortably our best keepers. Bingo - all three playing and playing well. Ryan is undisputed #1 (I feel filthy saying that) with his excellent performances in the EPL and both Jones and Vukovic are playing regularly at very good levels to do a sterling job if called upon.

I think it's pretty obvious why he didn't play under Ange. There were two better keepers available. Also, he was known to produce the odd howler. Between 2010 and July 2016 he played a grand total of 37 matches. Perhaps that was why? Good luck to him now that he's turned it around, but don't go re-inventing the past to pretend he was hard done by.

He was hard done by when playing regularly at a good league while Ryan and Langerak were both benched and he still wasn’t even getting called into the squads

A 36 year old career reserve keeper known for his, at best, inconsistent national team performances had his first good full season last year(?). It's not like he was never given a chance either. Is currently our 2nd or 3rd best performing keeper so sure, bring him along for the party as he probably deserves it professionally and personally and it's a nice book-end but words like jilted and shunned are just silly..

His inconsistency might be attributed to personal problems. I think the fairest thing to do is to disregard those years from a career perspective. Nobody could be blamed for not really giving a crap about football in such awful personal circumstances. As for the words, 'jilted' and 'shunned', it depends entirely on whether or not Ange made overtures to him during the WCQ campaign. He was, by leaps and bounds, Australia's best performing goalkeeper then. And age really doesn't matter at all. Just performance. Good enough means old enough (or young enough).

Hopefully Ryan can bring his club form to the national team. J League is starting so I expect Langerak to be in the frame. Jones is a good back up. I still fear howlers by all of our keepers.

The only Australian to have won a major European league title this year was the most noticeable absence from the Socceroos squad, but Feyenoord goalkeeper Brad Jones turned down the chance return to the national team, it is understood. Fairfax Media understands the 35-year-old was set to be selected for the upcoming World Cup qualifier against Saudi Arabia, a friendly against Brazil and the 2017 Confederations Cup on the back of his form in the Eredivisie, but he sought an assurance he would be the first-choice goalkeeper before making himself available. http://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/feyenoord-goalkeeper-brad-jones-turned-down-socceroos-recall-for-world-cup-qualifier-20170523-gwbdxi.html

This has been brought up a bunch but we don't actually know the truth. After the reports came out, Jones' camp denied the claims and iirc said the NT setup hadn't even contacted them about Jones being selected.

New boss. Clean slate.
Even Holmen and Wilkshire have mentioned Socceroos ambition and that they didnt retire from NT.
Meredith thinks and I agree he was judged on his age. Ange ran the build for the future thing too far.

Jones became no. 1 at Feyenoord and suddenly thought he was hot shit. I'm glad Ange ignored him. I would take Langerak over him any day. Jones was always a very shaky keeper, and I don't believe you suddenly become good in your mid-30s. I think his team's dominance probably flatters him.

Jones was always a very shaky keeper, and I don't believe you suddenly become good in your mid-30s. I think his team's dominance probably flatters him. I've watched enough Feyenoord games and that is simply false, he has been fantastic and fought his way from what would have been 3rd choice keeper to starting week in week out. He out trained and performed keepers at a top club, he didn't fluke his way into it and look good due to being on a dominant team. But alas your only proof to this is to question his character even though he denied it and you have no proof to the contrary. The only reason he wasn't selected is because Ange would have thought he was too old and his time was done as we have seen with many players who probably are good enough to be in the 23, Wilkinson being one.

Not needed. 3rd choice keeper should go to a guy that is projected to be a 1st or 2nd choice keeper at the following WC. Birighitti, Izzo etc Jones makes quite a few mistakes like this... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X4z5KubwzRw

Langerak might do enough when the J-league starts to show his undoubted talent can be put into performances, but unless he does, I think Jones is our second best keeper. Then it becomes very close for the third keeper, probably one of Langerak, Vukovic, Birighitti or Izzo depending one exactly what you want in the third keeper and it probably will not matter as they will not play anyway.

Seems obvious.. Ange wanted ball-playing keepers. But I don't know if Jones is significantly inferior in that regard to Vukovic, Federici etc.
By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

Surely Vukovic is ahead of LangerKalac by now? Not sure I understand how keepers can be selected when they are sitting in the bench week in week out. How often has LangerKalac had to face pressure situations in the last two years? Hardly ever.

If you aren't first choice at your club playing week in week out you shouldn't be getting on the plane

Ryan currently No 1 EPL.
Jones No 2 Eredivise
For No 3
Vukovic or Langerak.
Vukovic in Belgian Pro League.
Langerak was No 1 for Stuttgart in Bundesliga 2 last season
For me Vukovic only ahead because he is starting.
If Langerak is No 1 at his new club in Japan, he will go to the WC.

People forgetting that we took a young keeper to the Confeds Cup that could barely get a game at Valencia over a guy who was in career best form? More I hear about Ange the more im realising the socceroos was just an experiment to him...didn't care for results at all.
The top coaches are starting to show Ange had no idea what he was doing.

@jas 88. I think you’ll find that the reason Ryan wasn’t getting game time at Valencia before the Confeds Cup was because he was at Genk ....

Do those who think keepers should be selected because they are playing for a top club or have won a championship also believe Redmayne is the best keeper in Australia?
