Baccus > Baccus

[theguyyouwishyouwere]

disagree. Baccus > Baccus any day of the week.

[Case]

Be more specific please. I don't know which Baccus you're talking about. Is it:

K Baccus > K Baccus 

or

K Baccus > K Baccus

Wait until the 3rd K Baccus is on the scene !!

I think our ultimate goal should be to field a team composed entirely of Baccus (Baccuses?).

I believe the plural of a gaggle of Baccus' would be Bacci.

I don't believe Bacci is the preferred nomenclature.

This matter needs to be referred to a baccalaureate for a decision.

Bacci confirmed. Squires says so.

Nah, he just copied you lot with the question

[mack]

Don't think we should be playing him at fullback. Doesn't suit him.

[mack]

3 year extension. Finishes 2021/22. I suspect it'll have a decent release clause.

[Sithslayer1991]

Well deserved extension. Hopefully he keeps building on his career with us.

[theguyyouwishyouwere]

by my calculations if he plays as many games as possible by the end of this contract he'll have accumulated approximately 32 red cards.

 

and i'm all for it.

[Davo]

That number may tail off after the first dozen or so when opponents start running away from him.

Best Baccus

[theguyyouwishyouwere]

big season ahead for the parlkea pirlo

[Keithie]

Young Baccus looks like he has built up a bit in the off season.

[Generator]

He must be bored tonight or he has been tasked with getting out there on social media, because he has liked a bunch of my #wswanderers tagged Instagram posts dating back to April 2018

Probably going crazy as he had to watch from the pine last night. The lads had to return to YS camp in Wollongong last night & didn't get to train with WSW today. 

He'll be like a caged lion tomorrow. Watch out Nix

GVe must be horrible.

Was most likely by design.

Keanu, Tass & Tate all played good minutes in the Friday game & were probably given an easier time last night, given our current injury list & scheduled BCD friendly tomorrow.

[mack]

Might be off to Europe in January in a transfer.

Yeah, looks to be linked with Danish club AGF Aarhus.
 

Mustafa Amini, Alex Gersbach and Zach Duncan currently plays for them.

[Davo]

Mid season transfer for a player we don’t want to lose. Let’s see if the club demands a transfer fee or rolls over like most A-League clubs.

[mack]

He probably has a release clause.
