I thought Diego was still a current player??
 
True, but I was struggling for a midfielder who'd done sod all in a Nix shirt. Now replaced by George.

Midfield of wingers and strikers, quality.

I never claimed it was a good team, but perhaps it would be a very attacking one?
As you posted, we've done pretty well in the defensive midfield stakes. I could have pick Aloisi or Johnson, but then I would have picked a team with McKain, Felipe, Moss and Smeltz, which wasn't the point.   wolfman2010-10-05 15:04:53

Fixed - how did I forget George, when he was the one who started that train of thought?

As I said, I didn't see season 1, but my impression on here is that Brownlie fell into a similar category as the likes of Johnson, Dodd, and Ferrante (season1 & 2 version), as decent enough A-League players, who put in a decent shift in a Nix shirt. Hence his omission.


No way. He hardly played. Would be NZFC standard, but not A-League!

I'm glad Dadi's got something going..
he was twittering about "I'm keeping my fitness up and waiting for oppertunities" and I was sort of thinking "it's over buddy." but what do you know..

There was a story going around a while back about a guy who had played in every confederation.
 
Caceres is with Real Mataram Yogyakarta in indonesia.  Dadi is also in Indonesia with Manado United.

According to wiki Lei lei G** has retired from football due to injury.

Wrong category. He belongs in the "Players never contracted in any shape or form, that didn't play" group.

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

Clapham has been an unused sub once before.

Yep. Same here. Complete amnesia. That is why I called Clapham quite wrongly the "never used" player.
But then again, Durante was an unused sub for Australia too, once, wasn't he?

Yes, Durante was a sub (a friendly?) for Aussie, and only in one game. Had got on the pitch, even for a few seconds, he could never have played for the AWs.
