Yep, a bloke who hasn't played a minute of A-league football is recycled.

So far, the strategy is no one new and the recycling bin is just bigger.

Fact check in that the prime land for the Team 11 stadium right next to the Dandenong station was granted to the team for free by Dandenong council, just like the land for Western United's stadium was by Wyndham, the only difference was that nobody had the clams for the stadium itself. The good news is that the council is keeping the land in reserve for a stadium for Team 11 if they get up in future.

Is gonna retire at the end of the Dutch season

They were going to use the vacant land next to the train station, where the old cattle yards used to be. 

Itll be a let down and theyll announce someone like Baumjohann

RvP?

Someone who doesn't dive :P

someone better then Broich? who could that be?

someone bigger then del piero? who could that be? 

Can't wait to see a 130kg Ronaldinho

Horvat was on the footbald podcast today saying they’re very close to signing a second marquee, saying the player would be an ‘incredible coup’ for the club and the competition. Guess we’ll see who it is if it happens.

Murray Shaw knows who it is, said it’s a very big name and could be one of the best players, if not the best, to play in the league.

That parcel of land was/is worth a mint. 

Apparently had scouts at an NPL game watching Maker Maker and Anthony Duzel 

I wonder if any of the FFA due diligence work will ever be public.

Glad those floppers have gone back to you now :)

True, but there wasn't a free parcel of land up for grabs out east.

Funny thing is, if the group that has funded Western Melbourne so far, put the money into the Dandenong bid, it would be a million times more successful. You combine their cash + the community engagement and buy in from Team 11 - they would be a serious player.

Correction.  Wyndham council has no control over roads in estates. That's the developers role now. Council only has control over roads which vicroads has control over 

I'd go one further and say that the problem with Australia is when we do build infrastructure it's usually inadequate by the time it is completed (which is usually far too long anyway) or inadequate within a few years. We always build what we need now, not what we will need in 10-20 years.

The problem with Werribee, Tarneit, Point Cook, Hoppers Crossing, Wyndhamvale, Williams Landing, Truganina, etc, is that the developers and council got greedy by building housing estates at the expense of road infrastructure. its a complete clusterfuck that will take years to untangle (if it can be untangled). 

Exactly ;) We were doing shit and you guys were winning heaps. Those who did swap would have ben far less inclined if Wanderers were sitting 10th and we were 1st. Not saying many wouldnt have anyway but being a winning new thing does make a club look trendy and help attract fans.

I thought WSW fans were all ex SFC fans :)

Large scale developments? Then why am I stuck in one lane traffic. If you sell the land to developers, it might be an idea to expand the roads and improve public transport. I really hope the suburban loop happens this term. That would be great because the traffic is no longer centralised.

The new things coming to Point Cook, Tarneit
WHAT’S NEW There’s a lot happening in Melbourne’s west — a sports stadium, new schools, housing estates and large-scale developments shooting up at a fast rate. Here’s what to expect in your suburb.

Probably the best thing for them is to get off to a winning start. Wanderers got so much early attention and fans because they were new and instant winners which made them a pretty trendy thing to be a part of. If Western can match it with Victory on the park next season thats going to help their brand alot

Agree that their on-field recruitment has been fantastic. All credit must go to the two assistant managers.

Off the pitch... Yep, can’t see them getting crowds any bigger than city until they move to their stadium.

IMO they'll miss that by a long way. But there's not much point in starting the count until they are in their own stadium.

I'd call a pass mark a 10k average over their first 10 years in Tarneit.
