    Did we get Velaphi because we only have Petkovic for one year? Or is it like you said and he’s the second keeper and Mattei is the third? I still would’ve liked a little more confidence in Mattei he is a good shot stopper and experience only comes from game time.

    I reckon Foschini has done enough to earn himself a two-year deal. Instead of wasting money on a 36 year old Pondeljak when we just bought 22 year old Cernak, we should’ve used it to give Foschini an extra year. Pondeljak better be taking a pay cut.

    Resigning Pondeljak when Cernak is coming in, is like buying a top of the range 55″ 3D/LCD/LED Sony TV, and then buying a 40cm CRT TV just incase. Pointless.

    Melbourne has invested a lot lately with no results, maybe it’s time for a coaching staff change or something like that, drastic times call for drastic measures.
