Ryan McGowan also started for Livingston.

Tete Yengi came on in the 84th minute in the challenge cup, played LW and slotted a penalty in the extra time shootout. 

In my opinion his back to goal, hold up and link up game is possibly stronger than any other Australian centre forward.

2 goals for Iredale in Future Cup game. Don't think this is the Danish Cup itself but another competition and he needs to dust himself off.

He's going to Turkey.

He's under 30, and a attacking option, Popa would probably look at Elsey for a Socceroos call up before "chasing"actual players.

Hard to blame the kid. Living in Germany would put him sharply in the eye of his mother country....  Straight from NPL (and an Aleague academy NPL at that) to Europe bypassing the Aleague ..... THATS the issue we face with any bright young talent with dual citizenship, forget trying to buy our way to better players like the other thread suggests.

18-year-old Ayman Gulasi has 5 goals in 3 games for Schalke’s U19s 

Previously at Macarthur FC playing for their NPL side, he left Australia and signed for German Giants Schalke 04 after impressing on trial last year.

The attacking midfielder represented Australia’s U16s but, since his arrival in Germany, has played for Turkey’s U19s and last month made his debut for their U20 side.

Balard is already several classes above Brattan.

It's the dropping of Nisbet that is totally doing my head in though.

Brattan instead of last year's Johnny Warren medalist who is now turning heads in the SPL?

I guess I can cancel my trip to the US in 2026.

Yeah i worry too about some of the nonselections...hopefully it all works out

to be fair Balard has been inconsistent in the eredivisie and his bad games have been pretty bad, while his best games are team of the week performances. He should learn in this league and be ready for us soon (albeit in a stacked position)
robertson also has things to learn. Saw him beat two players playing out the back and then pass it back to the cbs when he had lots of time and space. His decision making hasn't caught up with his skills as yet

If he keeps up this run of form, he'll almost be at the level of Luke Brattan.

interesting question, last census check in '21 Melb CBD was 54,941 people for eg.

I'm getting just shy of 150,000 on my end, but this is for the Melbourne City Council area (a bit more of a spread than the CBD): https://abs.gov.au/census/find-census-data/quickstats/2021/LGA24600

All Australian capital cities + Wellington, Auckland, Newcastle and Gosford (being A-League sides, deciding to include them - and rounding to the nearest 'neat' number)
Sydney: 211,000
Adelaide: 25,000
Brisbane: 1,240,000
Perth: 28,500
Hobart: 53,500
Darwin: 84,500
Canberra: 455,000
Newcastle: 169,000
Gosford: 346,500
Wellington: 216,000
Auckland: 1,740,000

anyway moving on re Aussies abroad.....
I saw this article the other week re Celtic's massacre in the CL and it certainly made sense and I wonder why many of our own head to their shores....
Well I can only guess but one is the ease getting a spot compared to other EU leagues.

Celtic’s humiliation exposes the miserable state of Scottish football | Celtic | The Guardian


more broadly, I think 99% of the clubs are players go to are clubs that have had an aussie in the past. I was thinking about this and how this implies that scouts are ineffective at finding talent in new markets.

Just in case you are not aware, Glasgow is in Scotland, not Australia. 
You measure however you like and we’ll keep doing it the right way.
