I think the club has slightly wavered with our youth in recent years -
Just look at Nigro. he is nowhere now. Ingham was starting to show promise then was left out the side - hard for these players to get momentum. Was really expecting a break out year for Nigro tbh. those three weeks where we lost three in a row, surely he could've gotten a run as DM. His only compeition is bozanic, mahazi or broxham.

+xI think in regards to youth, it's very very hard when you're a team at the top to balance it out. Sydney have Ibini simply because he's coming back from major injury, I don't think he would be a player off the bench player in any other circumstance. Attacking wise is probably the hardest. Ingham has been quality off the bench and Austin is a good option (albeit 25). In previous years we've had Galloway in defence competing for a spot, now we don't have that which is unfortunate. I would like to see Nigro get more of a run out in Def/Mid. We do have Deng coming back though, and I expect one of Ansell or Donachie may move on so he can get minutes. Potentially, Baro could move into midfield next season to rotate with an ageing Valeri. In attack, it really is a shame we lost Pasquali as he could offer something completely different when Troisi is off his game, as we have no replacement in AM. A back up for Berisha really is a must, with how his consistent (sounds odd considering he's scored more than everyone) form this season. Howard just isn't good enough. I don't even know how howard is even at a club. Its bambi on ice.

Yup, got played in the pre-season games, caused a massive stir, then Musky never plays him lol. Same goes for Ingham, I thought he absolutely shredded it in the WSW away game and still has to be second or third rung for a winger role. -PB

We'll possibly be without Berisha, Troisi, Rojas and Geria away to Brisbane in March.
FFS.

FBK in the squad (with two to be omitted) for Adelaide, hopefully putting to be the speculation of a rift with Kev.
Perfectly plausible that he was just rested on the easier away games ahead of some big matches coming up, after all.

Robbie Slater says Melbourne Victory omitted Fahid Ben Khalfallah for contractual reasons FORMER Socceroo Robbie Slater says Melbourne Victory winger Fahid Ben Khalfallah is sitting on the sidelines due to contractual reasons. Ben Khalfallah had been promoted to Victory’s squad before being left out of its team against Adelaide. Slater said the winger had told him his absence from the team related to a clause in his contract that could trigger another year at Victory. “He’s not very happy ... I don’t think we will (see him play again) at the moment, with the stalemate,” Slater said on Fox Sports. “As far as I can understand — and the whole conversation took place in French — it’s something to do with a clause in his contract that triggers another year. And that’s why he’s not playing. “He was saying to me that he’s offered solutions to Kevin Muscat and Ian Robson but they won’t have anything of it.” Fahid Ben Khalfallah in the stands Fahid Ben Khalfallah in the standsSource: FOX SPORTS Ben Khalfallah has scored 11 goals in 68 games for Victory and played a crucial role in the club’s 2014/15 championship. After a disappointing 2015/16 season, the winger had found form so far this season, playing in a front three with Besart Berisha and Marco Rojas. “If he’s playing tonight, Rojas is on the right hand side with Ben Khalfallah on the left,” Slater said. “(If) They want to win the championship, you should be playing your best players.” Besart Belisha, Fahid Ben Khalfallah and Marco Rojas celebrate. Besart Belisha, Fahid Ben Khalfallah and Marco Rojas celebrate.Source: News Corp Australia Slater said he hoped the club and Ben Khalfallah could come to an agreement. “That’s one side of the story I should say, but surely Kevin Muscat and the club have got their side,” he said. “Hopefully for everyone — because you can see he’s a fan favourite ... they come to some solution.” Melbourne Victory are yet to comment on the situation. Ben Khalfallah last started for Melbourne Victory in the Melbourne Derby on February 4. He was an unused substitute against Newcastle and wasn’t in the squad against the Central Coast Mariners. http://www.foxsports.com.au/football/a-league/robbie-slater-says-melbourne-victory-omitted-fahid-ben-khalfallah-for-contractual-reasons/news-story/47bcf4d8526f5a220839418e6cc68348

Hopefully a possible-if-not-likely marquee contract, ACL and the fact he has played his way pack into Socceroos contention with the Vuc will convince him to stay.

Was reading a Fox Sports Football article which said Victory would have to stop dead to stand any chance of falling out of the top two, meaning a home semi-final - most likely at Etihad Stadium on Friday, April 28 - is all but assured. Is this confirmed? I've got plans for something the day after but can't go if the match is scheduled on Sat the 29th. Anyone else heard about the semi scheduling?

If MV fans were given the chance to hold on to two of Berisha, Rojas and Troisi with their two marquee spots, assuming the other would leave, who would they pick?

Ez
Berisha is contracted until the end of next season, as is Rojas.
Ditch Bozanic, Bes and Troisi marquees next season.
When Bes' contract ends, salary cap should have risen to which he'll move under due to his age, and Marco gets marqueed.
We then win 5 titles in a row.
Reality- Troisi and Rojas have another crack at europe at the end of this season and we lose both.

Fortunately for you, there's AFL on at Docklands on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th, so unless they hold it at AAMI you're safe with the Friday.

Theoharous has signed as a Scholarship Player, whatever that is, which means he is eligible to play seniors. Guessing that means FBK is #gone with this news.
