The good thing about the A League is that it has progressed from guys seeking one last pay cheque. If you want to come and make a living you need to be about 28, 29 for the most part or a youngster yrying to prove themselves. Sure thereare a couple of exceptions like the City goalkeeper but then his level of fitness is exceptional. I think if the FFA give the league some slack, it will evolve into a very good competition. Now that we have at least 4 years, the club, fans and players csn plan for the future.
Although we lost last Saturday, I am feeling pretty upbeat and excited about Friday and beyond. I am looking forward to what our owners will now come up with for a plan to win this A League.
and also goalkeepers can generally perform at the highest levels much later than out field players- Friedel, Schwarzer, Van Der Saar et al...
