Yeah, I think they went for marquee cuz he is their 'biggest' signing so far rather than he is on Marquee money.

I really hope AFC push his Fijian heritage to get south Aucklanders, especially those who normally don't follow football, to Mt. Smart.

Any news on Corban Piper YH?  Surely he'd be a good pickup as a scholarship player, though will be 22 in September.

Nah I haven't heard anything, but I've been a bit lazy and haven't kept up with my player rounds of late.
 
Might be time to flick out a few messages and see who's biting on the domestic scene.

That boy is some athlete. So are a few of those Birko boys. Definitely a few rough diamonds floating around the Northern League scene. Look at Grieve who went straight from Birko to St Mirren and was playing within a month or two.

Melbourne City released Scott Galloway so he could sign with Auckland, so I would be assuming it is referring to that.

Hiroki Sakai isn't far away from being confirmed.

We're pretty much just waiting on an announcement at this point.

I'm really excited for AFC now. Am really liking how they are getting out in to Auckland's clubs and are putting up some really positive social media posts. 

The Knights Mk1 only got involved with Massey Uni Albany (with my input) and Waitakere United (don't know how much the Kingz did, maybe Bloc5 boys know).

Hopefully Gouldy can iron out Wouds weaknesses and provide the AWs with another dependable keeper for competition. I don't think we've ever had this many competent keepers at one time (Paulsen, Crocombe, Taznav, Sail, and fingers crossed Woud). 

As fan of all things kiwi football, I can't wait to get home at Christmas/New years and watch both the Nix and Knights play. Super excited for next season.

Jake Brimmer announcement incoming.

Man on the ground says he was training separately from team yesterday - A Light run after the rest of them were done and dusted, so yeah he's either been sick or carrying a slight niggle.

I guess there is no need to rush anything at this stage of pre season anyway.

Their initial media presence and marketing was insanely shaky, but they've been absolutely killing it recently in both presentation and messaging
