Mariners V Adelaide

[scottmac]

Sick of shit topics. Back to football.

I think Arnie has no choice here but to play Amini and Rogic. We must attack. Rogic seems the only player likely to score ATM so Musti to go into DM and Hutch onto the left. Bozanic to the bench. Bernie and Kwas up front.

Football Aust. website has both games (Scum v Roar & us v Adelaide) down for the 17th @ 5:30???

I think he must start Kwas up front.

Bernie has been much more effective coming off the bench terrorising tired defenders. I think when he starts he tires quicker than the defenders. I hope he is fit.

Mc Breen has not been effective as a striker and although I do not believe in playing people out of position maybe Rogic could start alongside Kwas. He is able to shoot so it may work out. Preferably not Hearfield but possibly Duke as a roughy.

Musti into AM (if fit), replaced by McBreen at 60 min.

Playing Musti at DM is probably far too risky. He has never played there to my knowledge and could get lost. If he plays up it could enhance our attack or could cause confusion with too many forward. It could also expose our defence unless he and Hutch/Bozanic develop a good understanding of covering for each other.

Possibly Hutch on left and Bozanic as DM depends on who fits best with Rosie.

Fitness of players may be the determining factor.

Yeah, Fox rules ok?

Wonder if it's a typo? Hopefully they are going ahead at the same time.
Will make an exciting afternoon!

Fox sports TV guide shows Newcastle v Brisbane replay starts @ 10pm with no suggestion of live coverage

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Brisbane moved from Sunday because they are travelling to China mid week.

 

[adz]

Maybe a viewers choice thing?

 

[true believer]

[dibo]

To whom?

 

[bikinigirl]

play rogic up front with mcbreen. with amni behind .
i said it last week too

. fixed it for dibo

. without a midweek game this week, maybe it'll happen

There's a short while to recover and soul search, and I wouldn't be surprised if after 15 minutes we're either 2-0 down because bundles have been dropped entirely or we're 2-0 up and snarling like ravenous animals.

Adelaide's HAL season is gone and they play Gamba Osaka on the Tuesday following - their minds should be elsewhere. Brisbane are about to travel for the ACL and have to face a Jets team that needs points to stay in the 6.

With the game on at the same time as the Jets-Roar game and it is conceivable that with a win and either a Roar loss or a draw against the Jets that we can be League Champions by the end the game on the weekend.

 

[dibo]

Yep. They're simultaneous as well, so people at both grounds will be checking the scores on their phones etc. I just hope the PA announcer is on the ball and announces the scores as they happen in Newcastle. If say, we're up 2-0 and a late winner hits for Newcastle and it goes over the PA, cue pandemonium.

 

[dibo]

Actually, I hope the FFA are up to speed and if we *do* seal the league at home, they have a presentation ready. Get the navy and yellow confetti guns ready, a nice sponsor backdrop, a Hyundai executive etc.

Why do our requests for venue/time changes, to alleviate a horror schedule, fall on deaf ears but it's all good for The Roar. One for the conspiracists.

 

[LFCMariners]

Jest to throw the match against the Roar in the hope that we will lose the Premiership because of it?

[krusty]

i hope all the home teams have a win this week

 

[priorpeter]

f**k I just got nervous thinking about this one. It's in our hands from here on in.

 

[dibo]

It's in our hands from here on in.

Sadly, it's been in our hands since the start of February and we've almost ballsed it up. We shouldn't fear either Adelaide or Wellington.
