Rate the A-League Keepers

Personally I think there are a number of very good keepers in the a-league.

I would be interested in other people's views as to who you think is the best keeper in the league.

I find it very hard to split them.

My rankings (going by this week's keepers) would look something like this

1. Danny Vukovic
2. Glen Moss
3. Ante Covic
4. Eugene Galekovic
5. Michael Theoklitos
6. Clint Bolton
7. Liam Reddy
8. Tando Velaphi

Wow that was actually very hard. I rate all of those first six keepers highly and you could probably convince me with arguements for anyone of those guys being the top keeper in the league.

Eugene Galekovic has impressed me greatly since moving to Adelaide. He has a lot of potential imo.

Come on, Fev, don't hold back, say what you mean!
 
I'm probably not qualified to comment because I've mostly only seen Phoenix games, but I rate Theoklitos highly - he's very consistent, plus I give him a huge thumbs up for delivering a great performance the day after his father died.
 
I'm so impressed with Moss, not so much for his acrobatic saves as for his vast improvement in the air. The way he plucked that vicious swinging corner out of the air the other night fair warmed my heart.

Funny how everyone says they're not qualified to comment because they've only seen the Phoenix games, funny because I remember seeing at least two keepers at every game I've been to.  Have I been lucky?

I want to see Liam Reddy throw another tantrum after the Roar concede a goal. It's good to show emotion, but man does that guy get angry

Covic and Galekovic have generally impressed from what I've seen,

Mossy certainly gets a few opportunities to show his talent, and has pulled off some absolute stunners as we all know!

the Adelaide goalie was good against the Nix - some outstanding saves (by the name of ...?)

Theo,Covic best in the league. On form Mossy + Vukovic are the best and probably Covic.

They're all good really. Velaphi has been class until the game vs us where he had the shaky start.

I really do hate Reddy though. He's a c**t.

What do you expect from Reddy, his Dad played rugby league for Australia - not exactly great breeding.
 
I will say one thing in his defence though, after every home game he walks around the ground with a bag handing out signed Roar caps to kids.

Yes Moss is the only goalie in the world that can make diving saves Every professional GK should be able to.

Moss has been absolutely awesome but he's not the only good keeper in the league.

and his mum was a singer, and quite possibly a fan - as indicated by the line from her song as follows

"I am woman hear me!, Roar"

IMO Vukovic  is the next Socceroo keeper, currently is the Olyroo keeper & its sadley only a matter of time before he moves to Europe.
 
Vukovic is one of the main reasons the Mariners are on top of the table, if Moss is better as you say, he will also finish up in Europe.
