R16 away @ Adelaide

[Insertnamehere]

My first ever team line-up on the forum. But what would I know?!? Hahaha

---------------------------BK
Rowles---------Aspro------------O'Neill---------Clisby

Hoole-------Tom H----------Nesbit---------Pain

-----------------Simon-----Murray

Millar comes off the bench for Hoole at 60th minute (he needs a rest).

Rowles O’Neill swapped. Rowles is hopeless out wide

Adelaide are a way better team than us so all l want is a good performance and to not fold and concede plenty.

Hopes for the game:
"I just hope we lose well"

But yeah.....here is where we pay for not having a fitness coach when it mattered, and for not having enough depth. The Summer of Football is particularly harmful to use because of those issues.

But we've fought well the last few games despite all that.

 

[Josho Howe]

I'd love to be confident in snagging a result but we'd have to play really well and Adelaide have gotta be way below their best.

We're gonna flog em. COYY

 

[NoDiggity]

2-0 to the coasties, you heard it here first

 

[Josho Howe]

VAR f**k Ups 2 - Adelaide 2 - Mariners 3

I can see us doing well. We were a shambles early on but we are improving. If Millar is feeling fit enough i'd start him. He looks fitter now than in the early games.

Good to see Kek and Nisbet on the bench!!!!

 

[Ozhammer]

Fcuk me, Hoole gets yet another start, surely that can’t be based on his performance?

Hopefully Jem can dislodge him for the rest of the season.....

 

[true believer]

i'd like to see kekeris given enough time to effect the game

 

[Timmah]

Close to our strongest lineup of the season, only missing Oar and awaiting Jem.

Yeah was thinking exactly the same. Add those two for Hoole and Melling

fkn sub Hoole off

fkn sub Hoole off

Same thing every bloody time he gets his feet on the ball... Turns and runs towards the side-line... Even if there's an enormous gap in front of him, still guarateed to turn and run for the sideline.. .Eventually he then follows up with a mis-placed pass

Our attacks just die when he gets the ball.
So far he's Adelaide's best defender. Even that shot where he almost knocked the block out...we've got players free, he just turns toward his own goal, turns again, then shanks it wide.

Then fouls as I'm typing this

Our attackers are still having a lot of trouble linking up to each other.

Good header from Matty.

Nisbett for Hoole
