Best Young A League Talent

[Muz]

that he is - something about left footers that stand out compared to the many right.

And he belts the shit out of them. Christ he can hit a ball.

What are your thoughts on Jalan Pearman?

Hard to say unless I watch games twice or more. Live you miss a lot of things. At the end of the season I might see if there is a possibility of watching some of his replays. Live I just watch the a league to enjoy it. I do note his fotmob score is really dominant, let alone taking his age into account

Pearman looked weaker than bodalato and yull in the Australian u20 team but looks stronger in the a league. That could just be due to Morgan's tactics not suiting him or just that he didn't play a lot of games before the tournament for the u20s and needing time to find his feet in the team. He has been compared with Rogic. Rogic was elite at beating players when facing his own goal, this is a pretty rare quality, so I'm curious if has something similar

Would be great to see all these guys together for the All Stars. But that would require that they don't make the GF... could still happen.

Would love an A league vs championship all stars match. Reckon the game might actually have some passion in it

Every promoter of every code envies state of origin, but that is successful due to 20 years of grievance from queensland rugby league. What other sport has 20 years of grievance? There has to be a way to tap into that...

Milanovic probably gets my vote as his been around the block a while.
Segecic potentially has the highest ceiling but admittedly I don't watch the sky blues that often.
Clayton Taylor has caught my eye as a standout talent for some time.

I wanted to vote Milanovic but voted Segacic. It's close between those two.

I was the same but voted for Milanovic. Hopefully the start of long careers pushing each other for a national team spot.
