Aussies Qualification - What Now ?

[scottmac]

With Australia playing Bahrain on Wednesday night thought i would start off this thread.
Team news is Neill and Valeri are out and into the squad comes Luke Wilkshire.
Pim will probably start with his famous 4-2-3-1.
                       
                            Schwarzer
Wilkshire       Coyne           Spiro      Chippers
                   Culina           Grella
Bres                       Timmy C          Harry
                             Jesus

This will give him opportunities to play some of the younger squad members to see how they go. Jedinak will also see some action as Grella cannot last 90mins at the moment after returning from injury.

Prediction- 1 nil Australia.

I think he will give R.Williams some time as Bresc had an off night on Sunday and might need a rest. Wilkshire to right mid.
Timmy may also get a break with Carle a straight swap.

I think Bres has had an off last couple of games. Not much of a fan of Grella although I thought he played well against Qatar.
Those two players are the only regulars that concern me going into the WC...for now.

Bresch not playing the sydney game, he's spending time with family in melbourne. I read this morning that chippers probably wont play either as basile (did i spell that right?) are starting their preseason.

That didn't take long..... "on sale in time for Wednesday night's game in Sydney".

Some of us will have to hang around after the game for ages because some of us (not me) won a work comp to be a sideline reporter and go to the post match press conf.

Quite looking forward to see how they get on now SFC have taken over home end duties for the night (if I understand correctly)

You understand 200% correctly.

We can never hear them (Betfair GGA TM. Pty. Ltd.) anyway, so it won't be an issue.  The core of SFC singers have tickets directly behind us (same as last time) except this time they've got a megaphone and a designated capo.  A hearty mix of piss-taking of those idiots down the front and celebratory songs are to be had I believe.

+ the guy who spent 90 mins tacking the words "tard c**ts" onto every song

 

[UnitedsNo9]

Heard on 10 news that Jesus isn't playing in sydney with a niggle but should be right to face Japan

 

[marinermick]

with neill out who will skipper - schwarzy, grella or kool?

my guess kool

 

[scottmac]

will be kool IMO. with jesus out, what formation.

Dont really have any other lone striker

 

[marinermick]

I am going to guess at:

-------------------- Schwarzer--------------------
Williams-------Coyne-------Spiranovic------Wiltshire
-------------Grella---------Culina------------------
----Garcia----------Cahill?-------Kewell------------
----------------------McDonald-------------------

 

[scottmac]

maybe Djite or Vidosic beside McDonald with Cahill on the bench? Or Carle for
Cahill and Djite for McDonald.

Will be interesting to see which way he goes. Could be many different combinations, without the guys that are out the team really does not pick itself.

 

[scottmac]

Garcia is out too, so Carle should get a cap

 

[marinermick]

Garcia is out too, so Carle should get a cap

I'm actually going for Vidosic

 

[scottmac]

haven't even thought of carney, he might get a run instead of williams

 

[FFC Mariner]

Appreciate the late notice but I have a home end ticket spare.

Will be around until about 11 tonight and can check pm's early in the morning.

PM me if you are interested, I will meet you in the Brewery to hand over.

 

[serious14]

Pretty sure Harry (mariners4ever) was after one a few pages ago??

HARRY, GET IN HERE LAD!!!
