If you pick up any form of media at the moment, chances are you are going to be bombarded by Abbot or Gillard, telling you they can run the country better than the other, our country needs good economic management, we need better policy blah blah blah...

After a beverage or two at the sensational win on Saturday and then getting home in time to watch a thousand said ads, I got to thinking, if only Franz was running for PM and had Robbie Middleby as his deputy/treasurer, they would have my vote in a second. You couldn't get much better use of your money than the NQFC squad that these 2 men have assembled for the current A-League season. Sure some of the singings (expenditure) has seemed to be on unknown quantities, but the more you see them play, and the more you look into the way the players conduct themselves not only on the field but also the training paddock and off the pitch in the public eye, the more you realise how much time, effort and research went into selecting Fury V2.0.

I know some/most of you are probably thinking- "It's two games into the season mate, don't get ahead of yourself". I am not saying that there will be green and white streamers on the toilet seat come March next year (although you never know), but I don't think there could be many people out there who would deny that Franz, Robbie and the football operations team at Fury have managed to put together a quality squad on a (quite openly) shoestring budget.  

The win over Sydney on Saturday highlighted a few things for me. This year's side have a self belief that last year's side lacked and the players (and even the coaching/admin staff) have openly attributed most of that to the faith and relationship between Franz and the players. Fury V2.0 also seem to have a more attack minded play. Even though the boss likes to play only one up front, it doesn't seem to be a rigid defensive style, more a fluid formation, and he is happy for Williams, Payne, and Cernak to get far enough forward to almost play two or three upfront at times when attacking.

Fury this year also seem to be a more flexible outfit, last year would sometimes get a little frustrating watching our team getting outplayed but still continuing to play the same style, working or not, to try get the result, whereas it seems Franz has put together a side that is not only young, exciting, and good value, they are also very flexible in the way they play.

He has got two very capable target men with Dyron Daal and (hopefully) Eugene Sseppuya, although he really didn't impress me on Saturday, I am hoping with a little more time here he will shine, these guys give us the ability to play them in and use our speed and fitness to run off them and try to catch teams on the break.

We also have capable ball players/creative midfielders in Payne, Williams, Talay, and Cernak, meaning that not only can we knock it to DD and Sseppuya and run off them with our pace, but we can also play the ball around trying to get in behind defenders (ala Payne/Daal combo on Saturday).

The Robbie Middleby masterstroke of securing Mark Hughes, who he told us he has been watching since the start of last season, qualifies him to sign off on all the financial/major policy in my book. Hughes' ability to read the game with his communication skills have turned Fury into a much more cohesive unit in defence, and in my opinion, once Andre Kilian is back from injury we are going to be a lot tougher side to score against.

No disrespect to Grossman, as he has scored two great goals and worked very hard but we seem to be a little weak on the left side defensively and Kilian will most likely be the answer to that.

So if the Franz and Robbie can achieve what they have in two months with a tight budget, next to no staff, and no big name signings then why can't they do it for the country?

If they don't start a last minute election campaign after reading this, I'll be adding a box to the ballot paper next weekend!
