Was just looking for this. f**king hard straight out of the blocks and they'll be gunning for us.
I think we've got the team to get over them but we'll need to do exactly what we did last year and make them uncomfortable by pressing high up the field. Not sure we're going to do that though.
Not sure Adelaide how Adelaide will handle the departure of Goodwin though.

If we press high and often I'm thinking we can steal the points with a 1 or 2 goal win.

Also, is there reason we haven't seen DiPizio this pre season?

Goodwin is a huge loss for them and by far was their best player. Aging midfield and haven’t really replaced Goodwin. Would be great to keep the domination of them going.

Only seen us against pretty weak Asian teams so this will be a good test of the new players and manager. Bring it on.

The girls are also playing beforehand.

I have two mates who support Adelaide and both reckon Irankunda is going to destroy all in his path this season.

I certainly rate the lad but we kept him in our collective back pocket last year. He'll probably be their main threat... presuming he plays.

Still haven't received a password for the away bay, getting close now, might have to book tix amongst the AU morons
Why is the A League so amateurish?
The only thing I've received from the club so far is my hat and nothing else.

He’s fast and that’s it.
Doesn’t have mental side of things down yet.

Been wondering this quite abit too, must’ve had a knock… is all I came too. Club keeps injury news very quiet..
Thought he’d play the AFC game the other day.
The clubs post about squad numbers today basically just confirmed the squad for the season and he seems to still be apart of the plans.

He's a lot more than just fast, but you're right about the mental side.

Fazz upset him so easily... and Fazz is a nice boy.

Any word on Danny’s injury?

Look forward to getting to Cooper’s on Friday night!

I disagree Adam Fielding is their best player, followed closely by Kurt Ams. "Penalty to Adelaide"

Nursing through injury. Is coming good.

I saw video of him the other day and was moving freely, no strapping or anything. Couldn't tell when the video was taken but the club don't usually reuse footage like that

 

[marinermick]

Are we able to title each match day thread “ALW” or “ALM”? Girls also playing Adelaide.

Has been injured but now in full training is my understanding

Fazz has classic whiteline fever. Nice boy until it’s time to play.

Will be interesting to see if the new coach has been told about it although Fazz should start.
