If Manny and Leo both make appearances in the away games against Adelaide and Melbourne Victory, their 100th games will both come up at our next home game against CCM on 11 November. Might need a really big banner :)

I thought Victory away would be their 100th? Ultimate A-League has them both on 98 appearances for the Phoenix

Manny Muscat
Leo Bertos

Also lists Manny as a left fullback

Hmmm, their player trading cards would suggest it is their 100th games. Wonder where this extra game has been added on by Ultimate A-League.

Are we going to do anything special for them at the CCM game, a la Brownie and Daniel?

I actually thought that was what the "banner for next home match?" thread was going to be about but then it turned out to be hatin on Jeronimo the submarine and that seems to have consumed everyone's creative energies of late.
Hope someone is doing something. Would be very poor not to have anything for Leo and Manny. Their contributions to the club will be remembered in its legacy and as centurions deserve something special.
Commemorative Centurion Chant anyone? (oooh alliteration)

Is it the Victory game or CCM though? The records appear to be conflicting.

Is it the Victory game or CCM though? The records appear to be conflicting.

Piney's tweet says the Victory game, and the official A-League twitter also did a trivia question about which 3 players hit 100 games for their clubs this weekend.

[Edit: Celeski being the 3rd]

I used to bundle him up with the rest, but I also agree

I have to say, as much as I think a Jeronimo/FFA banner must be shown at the next game, we should also acknowledge both Leo and Manny for their outstanding service to the Club.

This being said, maybe people could work individually on their own, smaller banners for Leo & Manny? Some kind of 'stencil' (sorta cutting some letters and/or a cool pattern out of cardboard filling the gap with a spray can?) saying '100 times thank you' or something like that would be nice.

I don't expect that at all. When I said 'we' in my post above, I mean the members of YF. The idea for the lucky headbandages for Brownie and the Brazil flags for Daniel came from people on these forums, so I was asking if anyone had similar ideas. I'm more than happy to put a bit of work into making my banner say something for these two players, but I need idea's on what it should say. I did it for Dura so don't know why you think we all expect YF to make them.

Don't be a cock. Patrick probably puts more effort and thought into making Banners than pretty much any individual

One goal each in their 100th game, should do nicely...

If Siggy plays tomorrow, his 100th game will be Adelaide away. Vinnie Lia is the next closest on 92. He is set to play his 100th away at Sydney, if he doesn't miss any games.

Of the 6 in the hundred club, am I right that only Tim Brown has had his at home? I know Daniel was robbed of the chance with a ridiculous added time subs appearance.

Did Durante celebrate his. I have vague recollections of a dude in a Duracell battery costume and us losing to CCM

Duracell was his 50th. His first game at home after his 100th was that CCM game at the end of last season.

Thanks for clearing that up Patrick.

Siggy's 101st game this Sat. Assuming #SackRicki doesn't happen over Xmas, Ricki will crack the 150 A-League game mark against Heart on the 27th (5 for the Knights, 145 for the Nix). Interestingly enough, he will break Ernie Merrick's record for most A-League games in charge when we face the Victory on the 5th Jan

Sack ricki on 6th January 

We are away in Melbourne. If we play that high line against them again, there is always a chance that might happen.

After the run of players we had over the last few years achieving 100 games for the club, we could be waiting a while for our next centurion. Of the current players, Glen Moss is on 53 and Stein Huysegems on 38.
