Ricki, have you had your innoculations since shaking KP's hand?

Do you realise that KP hasn't washed his hand since you shook it?

Ricki, we have five outstanding defenders in Dodd, Durante, Sigmund, Lochhead, and Muscat.  Have you ever considered trying to play all of them at once to try and make the defence more leakproof?

It wasn't particularly leaking this season.

31 this year, 37 last year. Take out the 6 courtesy of Adelaide makes 25.

Have you ever considered using Lockhead and Muscat in a more wing back roles i.e. 3-3-2 and let those 2 just roam the entire flank. We keep hearing Lockhead is fit enough...

The story we got when Stu Jacobs was let go was that you were to take on more responsibility as a sole coach, yet Brian Turner came on board. Who had the change of heart and why?
 
Now THAT is a good question.
 
Thought of it by myself. Probably better for Tony P actually, I'm not sure Ricki had a part to play in Stu going or if he did he won't tell

Ricki,
 
If you like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the Cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape
 
Cheer,
 
Rupert!

Ignoring the idea that you are playing the team to their strengths, what is your personally preferred team formation if you were given any players you could have??
 
Barring injuries, what sort of time in a game do you prefer to make any tacticle subtitutions?

Knowing how much a good striker costs, what's the point of going to expensive UK market? Nix may end up with another Yeyo, Divane etc.
Why not bring some younger players from South America (not necessarily Brasil)?

The link doesn't work.
I emailed the contact person and he said the recorder wasn't working then, so he can't fix it.

Guess we're stuffed then ...
