[MagpieMariner]

Sorry for Broich's ankle, but very glad he won't be playing. He's creamed us too many times in the past.

 

[Big Al]

Did we get any info on Micky Neil's injury. Did he do his ACL again or something else? Indefinite doesn't sound great that sounds long term to me.

It was his foot but no other info has be forthcoming

Fite up . it' s time to hear the cannon
fire.

Fite up . it' s time to hear the cannon
fire.

. maybe they should stop firing the cannon at the start of the game ... it's as if the guys think they can start the game protecting their one goal lead

 

[BrisRecky]

righto...enough is enough Mossy and all the rest of you, time to get stuck in and get a win, no slacking off, no stupid passes, and NO going into a deep depression when the other team go one nil up...FIRE UP

 

[Big Al]

So who will be the back four today?
Mossy has said Bosnar is a strong chance. Will it be Ando and Eddie or Poscalario and Eddie with Rosé back at LB or Ando Rose and Sim?

Personally I'd like to see Storm, Poscalario, Bosnar and Rose

 

[Golly]

i feel a 12k crowd coming on
then it decides to rain and we get 8k
really feelin a win today
players refreshed by mrs claus
today is the day we find the net on numerous occasions (including the outside of it)

 

[ballantyne]

In 17 visits they've scored 33 goals.
Prediction:0-3, Moss sacked

I hope your prediction is wrong, particularly the first bit.

 

[VicMariner]

i feel a 12k crowd coming on

My guess: minimum 12k...might top 15k.
Be disappointed with less than 12k.

Oh, and 1-0 to the Mariners.

 

[ballantyne]

If we get a good crowd we will certainly lose! The only exception I can think of to that rule was the 7-2 rout of the Alessandroless Sydney.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Semi final 3-0 against scum Ballantyne.

Roar nearly always outplay us but Im actually feeling optimistic about today.

Matty Simon has some good minutes under his belt and will be getting close to full form. Same goes for Vernes, this with Monty's return and a lack lustre Roar makes me think we'll get this one.

Early signs around stadium look ok crowd wise- though I'll be surprised if we crack 12k myself. Still speaking to people who are surprised to learn we aren't playing on NYE who were thinking about going to it

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Any word on lineup?

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Ok Just saw lineup

Reddy roux Bosnar Ando Rose
Hutch Caceres Trif Sim Fitzy Simon

Bench duke Kim Vernes nash

The Mariners will be minus young gun Mickey Neill for Saturday’s clash against Roar, while tough midfielder Nick Montgomery remains a fifty-fifty proposition due to a calf injury.

“‘Monty’ [Montgomery] is being nursed back to fitness – whether he’s right for this weekend or not will be touch and go. But certainly I won’t be taking any risks with him,” Moss concluded.

 

[shipwreck]

Has Monty fallen out with Moss?
