Moved really well and could have been on the scorers sheet not long after coming on. Pretty happy with him and will only get better as he adjusts.

http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/ ... lub-reportwith Red Bull looking to expand into the Australian market, how would you feel if RB came in and purchased your club?
I for one would not have too many grievances with them coming in and taking over AUFC. if the flow on effect, and therefore benefit is something similar to what Melbourne City experience as being part of the City Football Group then i can only see it as a positive. Hopefully an increase in money and resources may end the cycle of having to rejuvenate a depleted squad every second year.

I wouldn't stress too much, not sure I'm in a position to purchase a club just yet...

Agreed. Anyone looking to sink cash into the league is a good thing

Agree that the money would be good, just got to be very wary of these conglomerates that own multiple clubs in multiple leagues as they often treat the lower teams poorly in regards to shifting players around and taking the better players in the transfer windows or loaning them to their other clubs.

Er what? Appalling dive? He elbowed him in the face. You're not even allowed to do that in Aussie rules any more.

Ref was terrible all game, was allowing players to mouth off and touch him, missed some shockers and dished out some poor cards

It was a pretty poorly refereed match. Didn't really control the game and should have sent Kristensen off for touching him (Amor got sent off a few months ago for something not as bad).

Just saw it, what a joke the A League is, the Reds player should have got a red card for tackling the goalkeeper who simply tried to shrug him off. What a pathetic dive, how embarassing for the club and the competition. No wonder noone goes to watch them if their players carry on like that, they need to be sat down and shown the Womens AFL game today and realise how embarassing they are.

He was always going to lose control of the match. And there it was.
