with four games to go for victory, who gets the chop- 

IMO
Gestede
ryan
shotton
broxham
elvis 
butterfield

I don’t understand why Victory wouldn’t go after someone like Brad Jones or Stefan Marinovic tbh

All them except broxham. Can offer something coming on as right back in last 15 or so but should not start. And on minimum wage IMO. Been great for club but he’s getting on. 

Shotton getting an early release and flying home to England tomorrow.

Butterfield gets a bad wrap. he's currently your best player by a mile.
if only he had some better cattle around him.

Shotton going before season's end anyway;
Gestede out;
Ryan time to go back to o'seas parent club;
Broxham stalwart but to retire;
Traore not high quality and ill-disciplined
Kruse retire, commentary on ch10 or Optus Sport
 

Butters has been good since keane got in charge. 

Shotton was worse than that giant spanish guy who came from the Hong Kong club.

You could've plucked 8 defenders out of NPL who would be more composed than him. Panicked, always out of position, couldn't pass and just hoofed it into the stands 

Probably a decent chap but footy days are behind him.

Nah shotts was good when he had to react.everything else he was shocking 🤣🤣 and eBay was horrid .

ebay that's it lol

Thought shotten was as good as we were going to get,  considering how long it took to sort out defenders.
Brox has to stay,  he's on peanuts as well, he's a better option than storm roux.
Gestede will go
Elvis should go
Butterfield, really id like to see him with better players around him because i thought he was pretty solid. 
Ryan, if he was one of ours id hold onto but obviously he's on loan. Better option than the other young CB we have.
Kruse id like to keep but there should be serious amendments to his contract if he were to stay. 
McManaman is a must keep.
Id hope ansell just retires or has a year off to get his body together.  

I’d welcome having Geria back to the club.
But if we sign Neill Kilkenny I’ll really struggle to watch our games. The only player I dislike more is Luke Brattan.

Macca is on a two year deal. So he's staying.  Butters would like to keep. 

I'll take kilkenny.  He's a poppa favourite and we need some midfield guile. 

Lynch Jr. tweeting that Victory have signed John Didulica in a football department role.

big signing if true

Either Football depends or ceo

Was he the same bloke that used to talk smack at Melbourne Hearts early days?

As I recall it was their CEO Scott Munn who was the lippy one who's mouth wrote checks the club couldn't cash.

As far as I know, Didulica achieved a very high level as a player winning the Eredivise twice and Austrian league once and playing for the Croatia national team. After his playing career became a lawyer, went to Harvard, was CEO of the PFA for several years, is still an arbitrator at the CAS. Has many connections and qualifications, and knows Melbourne football.

Nah he never played for Croatia.  That's his little brother joey

Yeah that's right, I had the wrong J Didulica. The rest is true though. 

Now that’s a good signing. 

Too old 

Looks like so nishikawa is off to San Diego aztecs university team

How was Storm Roux for you guys towards the end of the season? Strong rumours he's signing back with CCM for next season but I haven't watched him play in a little while.

He was OK..  not noticeable as he did his job

Surely not two spoons in a row, c'mon!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please god, no.
While the Mariners backs were crap.....Roux was even more crap.
We dont want Roux back at the Mariners !!!!!

He's absolutely awful. I don't rate Lewis Miller at all, but you'd be better off sticking with him tbh.

Storm I can see stay in the hal. Trev I think has an offer overseas
