He and strike partner Danny Allsopp have so far been left in limbo since Postecoglou's arrival from Brisbane Roar two weeks ago, leaving them in limbo about their future.

The double Championship-winning coach famously had a clear out of veterans soon after he took the reins at Roar and players are anxiously waiting to see if he repeats that in Melbourne.

Allsopp, 33, admitted he had yet to speak to Postecoglou about his role for next season but hoped at least for a chance to show what he can do.

"There's no guarantees for anyone I guess but hopefully I'll have a fair shot at (playing), same as anyone else and get judged by what I actually do on the park," Allsopp said.

"That's all I can ask for."

Victory have already dismissed veterans Roddy Vargas, Tom Pondeljak, Grant Brebner and last season's player of the year Ante Covic but Allsopp is not concerned that he could be discarded.

"Players have got contracts and (Postecoglou has) got work with the squad that we've got and we've got a lot of places (still to fill)," Allsopp said.

Last season was one of Allsopp's toughest as he started just five games and scored one goal.

His old forward partner, Thompson, had a slightly better season but only managed six goals in 27 games as Victory finished in the bottom three of the A-League.

This month's friendly against Olympiacos will be the first chance to see how Postecoglou has influenced his new team and Thompson has compared Postecoglou to former Victory boss Ernie Merrick.

"In a way he actually kind of reminds me of Ernie because he wanted us to play an attacking type of football, which is when you get the ball to always look forward and we've been doing a lot of that at training," the 33-year-old said.

"And you can already see... how much our training sessions have improved."

Despite no guarantees from Postecoglou that he will play, Thompson argued that the new coach will not be able to ignore his experience.

"I don't think you can count just on youth, obviously there's got to be a blend of youth and... experience," Thompson said.

"So I think if you perform well and you train well you're going to play."
