Just saw the squad and wow shocking selections. Definitely some deserving players missing out and others picked purely because they played under Popa at Victory
So this window there is a lot of players called up, including some new ones
AFC
Iraq have called up Mohamed Al-Taay and Charbel Shamoon who becomes the first ever player to come through the Western United academy to get an international callup.
Julian Schwarzer and Jesse Curran called up for...
They want to play their reserves in it. Not sure how that would work tbh. Like the AL clubs, their reserves should play NPL.
One of the other Aussie clubs to apply was Sunshine Coast. No clue who they other two applicants are.
Jovanovic has a lot of promise but he lost his starting spot to Archie Goodwin. Ideally we sell Archie in 18 months and then Luka becomes first choice,
As for Badolato, he has big wraps on him but he’s only made one league appearance all season. Hopefully the loan move away from WSW gets him...
CCM may be shit but at least they rocked up to all their games!
