Not bad Dave. I'm not sure about collars vs no collars TBH. Some football shirt neck lines are bloody horrible IMO.

Cheers mate

Brisbane are going to have to change the style of play a fair bit if Matty does go to Rangers. It was his and Kosta's movement and pace that made the system work so well last year and it will take some of the remaining players to change the way they play too much to be as good.

Time for a very early prediction:

1. Adelaide
2. Central Coast
3. Brisbane
4. Perth
5. Sydney
6. Melbourne Victory
7. Melbourne Heart
8. Wellington
9. Gold Coast
10. Newcastle

Yeah I really like the away kit its kinda similiar to our one, not a huge fan of the home one not so much the collar but just doesnt do it for me. Im not fussed with collars some can be ok, Didnt mind the collar on the LFC home kit few years ago, but the Syd one make it look more like a polo shirt and that was my first impression of it.

Time for a very early prediction:

Adelaide
Brisbane (if Mackay stays)
Sydney
Perth
Central Coast
Melbourne
Wellington
Newcastle
Melb Heart
Nth QLD
Gold Coast (sorry SB but with all the players they have lost, I just dont see them doing well)

If Mackay leaves id drop Brisbane down a few positions.

Just applied for a work placement thing with GCU to help drive attendance, raise awareness, and improve public perception (marketing ****). big ask!

Tipped 2nd last and last No way guys. We've got a lot of young guys who I expect to do well.

Looks pretty similar to last years just a diff sponsor. looks like alot of teams still have Reebok kits, good to see a bit of variety now, and be even better when more teams move away from reebok.

Haha I did say sorry... I hope you do well, I like to see teams give kids a chance. Ive always said we should be linking up with EPL academies and getting decent kids on loans. But too many teams are afraid to play youngsters I find or dont play them enough.

I think you may need a season for them to settle in hence why I put them in last and losing alot of the big players doesnt help either.

Apology accepted

Watch out for Chris Harrold, Ben Halloran and Zac Anderson from our winning youth team this season. We've bought a couple of Dutchies in Beekmans and Jungschlager who have done well in pre season too. If Robson can stay fit he'll prove a match winner at times too.

We play Victory in a few weeks and I can't wait for that one

Interesting to see you guys have tipped Adelaide for top spot.

Who you tipping then Harv? Do you think your lads can do it? I think it's between Adelaide and the Roar TBH. Perth should do well also. Let's see if Smeltz stays or seeks pastures new before the end of the season as he likes to do
