Not sure if these are Senior deals or Scholarship deals. Van der Saag is a great name just quietly.

Apparently Andy Pengelly(Bris Strikers) has signed on for the CCM.

Everyone at the Gold Coast Knights FC would like to say a massive well done to our #23 Matthew Schmidt who was named as A TRIALIST this evening for @NewcastleJetsFC

You have been rewarded for your continuous hard work over the last few years Matthew!@FootballQLD @ALeague pic.twitter.com/dTRdPAKTBF

I thought you couldn't play trialists in the FA cup?

This was in the Surf City Cup game from last night.

Yeah true!

Harry Sawyer was on trial with Sydney but obviously didn't pick up a deal. I think that other trialist might be Jacob Esposito

We are proud to announce the signing of Matthew Jurman ?: https://t.co/Uigkc5YJHi #WSW pic.twitter.com/xYuNnlIlXi

As predicted by David Squires

City sign 5 more Scholarship players and appear to have promoted two of their Scholarship players to Senior deals.

Five of the best! We confirm our Scholarship players ahead of the upcoming @ALeague and #YLeague season.

Another addition to the retirement village in Geelong.

ngl looks like a pretty bad signing on paper

Sounds like they are gonna use him as a striker.

Hope so, looks terrible. Also looks like they have signed or at least are trialling Liam Rose, former Mariners defensive midfielder 

Good luck with that, he certainly ain't one. He hasn't really played serious football in 10 years, although he was back in the top Croatian division this season, but for a team that hasn't won a game in the league yet (after 7 rounds).

I really don't understand WU logic with this signing a 34 y/o only playing 190 games in his career and only getting 36 goal contributions in not so great leagues.

?? According to @dailytelegraph, the striker #WSW will sign is 36-year-old Alexander Meier.

He has 18 years of experience in Germany and played over 300 games for Eintracht Frankfurt.

Thoughts? ?#ALeague pic.twitter.com/lQ06aBoY9w

— Daily Football Show (@DFS_AUS) September 19, 2019

I really like Meier but has had some injury issues last couple of seasons. Keeps in really good shape and even given his size, he's a big boy, can play as a 10 or 9 and was (is?) a pretty good athlete. Was Bundesliga top goal scorer a few seasons back and a Frankfurt legend. Scores some really good goals.

great player

Average age of the possible starting 11 is 31 - oldest in A-league history?

@brisbaneroar sets a new record for oldest starting XI in Aus national league history, with average age 33.45 years (previous record set 2 weeks ago). and Jack Hingert the oldest youngest starter 27y 151d #BRIvNEW

— andrew howe (@AndyHowe_statto) February 24, 2018

Older teams generally do better in this league, so probably not a bad plan from Snakeman.
