But as you suggest, Brisbane have just picked up a cover defender from the Victorian state league. Is there another Og-man waiting to be found? Yes Neil, I was teasing.

No use signing a big name such as Beauchamp as when Muscat returns from injury they are not going to get any game time. Anyway I thought Gold Coast already had him lined up. John,

Don't mind it towards the end of a game last 20-25 minutes or so but I wouldn't start with three strikers. Even then, if we were to play with three I don't think we need to look for another - as I said we have four fully fit strikers on our list and a number of attacking midfielders that add a significant amount of firepower.

We might let lots of goals in, but if we are scoring heaps doesn't matter.
