Zoom Meeting 17 December 2020

[Pirate Pete]

They seem to think getting the players into the country won't be a problem.
the problem is getting their families in.

 

[Josho Howe]

Advertising supposed to start this weekend. Way too late tbh. Should've started in October once the footy codes ended.

 

[Pirate Pete]

Contracts will have provision for second year for the visa players that is.
Players want to look at us, like living on the coast, as much as us looking at them.

 

[Pirate Pete]

The End

 

[Josho Howe]

All in all, a little bit of new information but nothing new on the ownership and stadium rights issues. Well done to the club for doing something like this. Appreciate the little pod shout out by Shaun too.

With Ziggy gone and only 3 potentially signed, shouldn’t it be 2 visa spots available because aren’t there 5?

My thoughts too. Someone not doing their maths right or have we grabbed one of the local visa trialists?

I believe they meant 1 more to use and 1 left over for when the transfer window opens in Feb.

 

[Ironbark]

Again really appreciate the comment. Cheers ahoy

Three visa players in the pipeline.
That leaves one spot in the squad.
The last spot won't neccesarily be a visa player.

 

[Ironbark]

3 signed visas is good, shame about timing and it's always possible some or all fall through
One a high profile 9 is great
Jonata looks like he'll hold his own.

Mostly good news. If we can beat the Jets, chance it on the 2nd game we could even have our full squad by round 3 (match fitness and gelling pending)
Might not get too far behind early in the season after all.
Lots of ifs there...

 

[Josho Howe]

Ken said round 3 for the new Visa's. I'd lean more towards them being ready round 5 and 6 imo.

 

[marinermick]

Did Ken say he wants a c**t culture at the club or did I mishear?

Most likely

I hope you didn't.

 

[Josho Howe]

Haha l heard the same thing. I thought it was just his connection cutting out when he said 'culture'

 

[priorpeter]

That’s what I heard and I hope that’s what he said. Nice guys don’t win football matches.

 

[Blackadder]

If only Kevin Muscat was about 15yrs younger , would fit a c**t culture real well.

 

[FFC Mariner]

That’s what I heard and I hope that’s what he said. Nice guys don’t win football matches.

Finally, no more nice guys

 

[Ozhammer]

I can see a new addition to the Concise Oxford dictionary next year:

‘C**ture’ - under which it will say: See Western Sydney Wanderers

 

[FFC Mariner]

Its what Monty brought to the NPL side, its what Jose brough to Spurs (see the documentary). Nice wholesome teams achieve nothing.
