Dylan Leonard

And it's like, you know, I don't need to do this or that or whatever.

But helping young players when I look at certain, like I look at Moore, for example, or even like Yaya Dukuli, Dylan, everything, making moves and, you know, starting playing, performing.

That makes me proud and happy because you helping them when you see them wearing in like the national team jersey, growing.

That's the best thing.

Young brothers.

Yeah, they are my young brothers.

Like, seriously, like, the relationship I have, like, with the Touré family, like, with Rafael Borges, Bernardo Oliveira, Yaya Duculli, Dylan, everything, and a few of them, it's different.

It becomes personal, and that's the reason why I do travel a lot.

He got 28 minutes off the bench in this one.

Another level down to Bundesliga 3 and Dylan Leonard played 90 minutes in Almond Atkins' 3-0 loss in midweek and he backed up with another 90 minutes in his side's 2-0 win overnight.

Very important time for Dylan Leonard after nearly missing the whole entire season last year.

In the Freund Bundesliga, Hayley Rasso gets 16 minutes off the bench as she returns to Matilda's duty in Frankfurt's one-all draw with Bayer Leverkusen.

And this is a good news story and it's been popping up each week, hasn't it? Noah Skoko is on the score sheet again, Chief.

I was just talking to someone about his ability to bring players through, which he did.

At Western United in particular, I'm thinking about some of those younger players.

Dylan Leonard was one of them who we just spoke about before.

And you could see almost Iren Kunder and Harrington almost feeling guilty and apologising to those they didn't get to.

Marcus Younes, Eli Adams, Dylan Leonard, Jacob Chapman.

It was just beautiful.

And Swartzy, this is the moment that the footballing aspect is really, really important because obviously fans are going to want to watch a great team that's competitive.

Told us he'd been sick for the last three days, so it'll be interesting to see if he's fully recovered or if he is rotated out and we see a Milos Degenek or... or

even a Dylan Leonard come in for a debut possibly.

He's very young and Tony Popovich has spoken about the potential that he's picked on for a few of these players.

So it'll be very interesting to see if there is a temptation to throw them in.

And that's the one that you referenced earlier on, Christian, where he's cutting inside and then hitting it from range and it took a good save from the keeper to tip it over, right? Those kind of passages...

uh what is being afforded by the braveness at the back playing through breaking the lines and kind of you know allowing the opposition to push you up a little bit higher and then getting the ball and getting it out to those forwards um with room to burn so on the bench on friday night we had riley mcgree jason gary aiden o'neill marcus unis for his debut and then uh patty yesbeck laid on as well coming on and then unused Chapman, Izzo, of course, as the two goalkeepers, Dylan Leonard, Casey Boss, Keely Adamson, Milos Dezianek, Yaya Dekuli, Eli Adams, and Nishan Valupale-Jakob.

So what are you expecting in terms of personnel? I think, as Christian said, it's only a four-day turnover, right? So you would expect a fair few changes.

Are we going second string? Are we making those kind of five, six changes? Are we probably expecting Brazil to do similar?

Jaja Dukuli, who was playing in Slovenia, was previously at Adelaide United for a couple of years.

Dylan Leonard, the young defender who's playing in Germany but was previously at Western United in their last season before folding.

And Marcus Yunus, who was at Melbourne City on loan last season.

He's since gone back to Denmark.
