I'll hop in my car and drive to Ottawa again this year if they start up for 2020. That's like....3 or 4 tickets for one game. Good Start.

Kinumbe might push De Carolis into CB. Good to have right and left footed CB pairing, I guess. And some coverage at LB. Really like the way we're shaping up so far.

Do you have something against tables in Winnipeg? Murrell and Langwa….furniture, watch out!

N’sa was great last year! Loved seeing him sprint from centre field and pull off a slide tackle at the top of the 18 on a guy who had 10-15 yards on him. Excited to see him pair up at Schaale, if he comes back like has been rumoured.

Meh, disagree with the need for "star power" - goals, yes - star power, no. Star power would help with drawing crowds, which we have no trouble with. Seems Hart is moving towards smaller, speedy forwards, so not sure how well Hume would fit into that given he's 36 and likely lost a step over the years.

Schaale is a graduating senior, so wasn’t eligible for the U Sports draft.

I’ve heard he is very keen to stay, but haven’t heard if that will be the case.

Schaale just scored the wining goal in extra time in the AUS Final, so seems he’s doing pretty well. Also heard he’s been in chats with the Wanderers for a return next year.

Apparently this was more likely Skublak than Simmons. Heard Duane Rollins source is **** for the Simmons comment. I guess he just didn’t fit the preferred system in Hart’s eyes - although we seemed a better team with him in the squad. Langwa I understand.

Elliot Simmons release was a club decision apparently. A little disappointed as I thought he played really well for us and made the whole squad better when he was on the field. Hart talked about players pricing themselves out of a contract at the Q&A, so perhaps this is an example of that. Sure the younger players saw guys like Perea and Williams making quite a bit more and contributing less, then felt a little undervalued.

Gives me Goosebumps. That first home match with Forge is unforgettable.

Elton John has never played RB, so can imagine how difficult that decision really was. I'd throw Sukunda there instead - Bona has solidified his spot at RB and Sukunda doesn't offer the same offensive upside as Garcia or Guti on the RW.

I think the story was the bigger hype - unknown insurance salesmen playing senior soccer in Moncton comes through to boss open trials in Halifax. He was very effective in his defined role (shadowing Bekker) during the first match at Wanderers Ground. Other than that, he can't fill the same role as Rampersad, Simmons, and John as his distribution isn't up to par, so has been frozen out of the midfield.

I endorse this statement. Off topic, but Halifax did try to sign him prior to his move to TFC.
