Just to let those who aren't gloryboys know...

There's now a facility over at www.gloryboys.net to ask Tony Sage himself a question about the club. It's moderated, so no abuse, personal attacks or inappropriate questions will be allowed- but if you've got a question you want to ask the man, get over there and sign up.

Just a quick note, you might need a "proper" email address to sign up; too many spambots coming from hotmail or gmail accounts lately and the site admin might ignore them.

I'm not sure if anyone has asked this previously in this thread, but I've noticed on my tickets before the Wolves V. Glory match, a "Celebrity" match is going to be played?

Anyone know more about it? Will people get to slide tackle Slim Jim from behind?

Yeah i hear its celebritys vs old glory boys.
i got my tickets E9 or something.
thats the sides isnt it ?
ah well ill be FOTS anyway i think.
cant wait.
wonder when my membership will arrive?

Article in the West today suggests were after Coyne for 3 years.
which would be excellent.
wed have the best team in the league no doubt with him.
hopefully we can pull it off.

E9 is just south of centre on the east side.

dave mitchell spoken to him on monday and will offer coyne a 3 year deal....
his waiting on things from asia and the middle east ...

i bloody hope we can get him and he decides to come here :d

wow i really didnt think there was much possibility of this happening. surely we dont have much room left in the cap but hey it shows real commitment if he ends up here and we would no doubt be pushed into premiership favoritism.

I thought the same thing ey....

perhaps were offering five bucks this season and "a bit more" in the following years?

Sell Jamie to buy Chris!

I just got an email from Glory, these are the confirmed "celebrities" involved in the opening match...

Candice Falzon – Ironwoman
Sam Mac – 92.9
Jonathon Cook – The West Australian
Adrian Barich - 7
Tom Hockings – Western Force
Declan Kelly – 6pr
Josh Catalano – Master Chef Australia
Gareth Naven - Past Player
Scott Miller – Past Player
James Afkos – Past Player
Shaun Murphy – Past Player
Em Rusciano – 92.9
Paul Kelly – Members Equity Bank
Bobby Despotovski + Olivia Despotovski – Past Player
Matt Horsley – Past Player
Paul Strudwick – Past Player
Jason Petkovic – Past Player
Paul McVittie – Past Player
Craig Naven – Past Player

So it's past players v celebs?

I honestly didn't think to ask, but wouldn't that bit a bit one sided if it happens? Haha.

I'm guessing it'll be a mixture of celebs and palyers on both teams.

Ha. Celebs. Theyre not even E grade.

Mmmmm no comment on the celeb's...

So we can expect Candice to be caught giving Tom head in the toilets, right...?:-"

as a loyal blogger they should certainly look at putting me in goals. i equally am up there with these other celebrities right? haha

for the past players line up ... gotta give jason petkovic a run up front for sure! lol

My guess is they'll pick two captains and choose teams phys ed-style. Assuming I'm correct, who do you think would be the embarrassed one left standing on their own?

I say Em Rusciano.

nah its gotta be like in fifa where you go on mazy run with the keeper up the field. i used to do that to my dad all the time just to rub in how terrible he was at the game :]

If they go on previous form, I expect it to be Pekto :p

I say we get Jackovich back for the celeb's team. :p

Out of the celebrities, I'd heard of Sam Mac, Jonathon Cook, Em Rusciano and Tom Hockings.

Why isn't Mustapha Rumancola getting a guernsey?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Great so far for the glory. Big preseason matches against wolves and fulham. Yous have also recruited very well hope the crowds increase for next season because i can see perth playing some wondefull football


is this ur prefered lineup?

--------------------------tando
----j.coyne------harnwell-------todd-------sekulovski
--------------------------j.burns
----pellegrino-----------------------------sikora
--------------------------sterj
-------------dadi----------------b.jelic


bench is the only place yous can improve IMO, but looking forward to it..

that is exactly my preferred line up ... dont wanna put dadi or jelic on the bench lol

thats my choice ... but if we sign C.Coyne, then obviously unlucky harnwell may have to be on the bench

yeah true, he is getting old and i think he can come off the bench ( if they need a goal, than play him striker)

I'd say Perth are going to Todd Howarth as well ... judging by the way Dave Mitchell was talking about him.

I reckon he might even start at left back...

Scott Neville > Jamie Coyne, at some point during this upcoming season.

Brent Griffiths could well bolt too, at that LB position. And with Howarth around, that part of the field should be more competitive.

And yeah it would be a Chris Coyne + Todd CB pairing, with Harnwell as super sub again.

What a bench!

Vrteski
Harnwell
Srhoj
Neville (RB/CB)

And more upcoming younger guys like, Skorich (FW), Griffiths (LB/CB), Jukic (MF), Downey (RW) and Fondyke (MF)

Dadi could even end up on the bench, depending on the formation Mitch decides, match to match, if Mitch goes Sterj front two with Jelic and Srhoj on as a more defensive midfield option, alongside Burns. Pellegrino could even see the bench, if Mitch decides to try Sterj out wide right, too.

Bulloch (LW/FW) and possibly Howarth around the traps, with potentially guys like Sekulovski and Jamie Coyne falling back in the squad's rotation, as the youngsters come through.

BTW Chris Coyne, with Todd Howarth, equals 22 out of 23 places filled.

We also still have one VISA spot free, but that doesn't look like being filled.

And would still be nice to pick up Ergic (He's not a VISA Player, I know). :D Ergic would see Pelle or Dadi benched proper, though.

We could have him on a 'Guest Stint' lol, while he's without a club. :P

And just realised - Andy Todd only signed a 1 year contract with us to 'See out the remainder of his career.' That's perfect for us. By 2010/11 Chris Coyne should be well settled and the young boys, Griffiths and Neville, that little more experienced aswell as Harnwell still about, to fill the void. Frees up a bit of wage space too, to sign another quality player (An Ivan Ergic who spent 1 last season in Europe? :P).
