Guess this is why Rudan was moaning about the FFA the other day
Asked Rudan if he's looking for another marquee, he asked me back "what is a marquee", "don't get me started on what the FFA accepts as marquee"

That's actually a pretty easy answer - it's pretty much a one step process:
Is he wanted by Sydney FC or Melbourne, yes or no?

He’s had it rough re Marquees (here and there) but maybe in his head he’s still at SFC.

despite it all I have a feeling this team are going to be my second team this year (or maybe 3rd after Bayern) Dura's too much of a legend, Maxy put in some honest shifts for us and Rudan is just an epic character of Shakespearean proportions...

Maybe not support, but certainly to follow with interest.
Still as Talay said on the pod, he wouldn't have kept Kurto or Burgess anyway.
And if Rudan was heavily responsible for bring Talay to the club, ain't all bad. Let it all go, move on.
Seems to be the approach of Dome and co, at least publicly. Still they asked FFA for WU as the first game, so they are aware of the marketing value of Judan and co returning to Westpac.

I've never going to let it go. Rudan is a snake (only partially serious) and its great to have a genuine rival !!

Wow, naming yourself after a notorious hooligan gang of dirty L666ds is quite a statement. Are they going to try to out do the RBB in bringing Australian football fans into disrepute?

The ACFC active support have done the same thing. I didn't know Leeds hooligans were the source.

Dunno what is more shocking, Hamill's poor touch on the second goal or the fact he just gave up. So strange seeing Dura in the #4 shirt.
that's not Kurto yeh?

Hard to gloat, not at all a first WU team. Kurto was about half our team last season!
