Apparently told players at Andy Keogh's birthday party on Friday night.

This makes me so happy. Pls be true.

Perth will be a force next season if he stays. Quality squad. Do they still have a marquee spot if he signs on?

Yes. Although, I'm 90% sure that we'll promote one of Nebo, Williams or Herd to marquee.
We are still yet to sign a keeper and a Spaniard.

Doubt very much any of those will be on marquee wages.

Pretty sure the other marquee slot will be allocated to a true marquee and not just for accounting purposes.

Fantastic news. Perth building quite the team for next season.

Quite the team to hoof it long rofl

How so?

In terms of MF engine room.

Losses:
Vadocz
Sandor

Gains:
Williams
Herd

Williams is a straight swap for Vadocz
Herd can play central MF similar to Sandor

Neither of the Hungarians were prolific goal scorers and typically played a deeper role coming out of defence. Again similar to how Williams /Herd will probably play.

Glory weren't playing hoofball last season when playing well, so don't expect them with their new squad.

If Glory pick up another midfielder with some pedigree as marquee, they will be smokin' and will definitely not be playing hoofball.

Fair play to Perth

Isn't Marinkovic there other marquee? Or is he off-contract?

Got another year to run, but now included in the cap.

He was just an "accounting" marquee.
