Going to be in Umina of the day/night. Any good Mariners friendly Foxtel pubs or clubs nearby?

As has been mentioned on another thread this is a season defining game. Knock them off and we're back to second and chasing hard.

I have a feeling we'll be right up for this one, and Matt Simon always seems to play well against them.

Looks like the weather may be not too bad (showers and 29 degs max). Lucky as a 4pm game in summer up there could have been very ugly. Strange time to play IMO anyway...

Reckon there will be a few goals.

this years grand final preview - should be good

After having to watch a game at Langwarrin (google it), I'd take any pub on the Central Coast.

Seriously though, if it aint too far of a stretch, my old away game venue of Kincumber Hotel is fantastic. On Christmas Eve I think it was, there was half a dozen of us watching a Perth game then they said they were closing, we begged them to leave the TV on so we could watch while we were outside as they cleaned up, at first they allowed it, then some chump turned it off… two minutes later some other bloke turned it back on. We won 2-1 if I recall correctly, allowed a goal in the final minutes as we were all standing outside. Good times.
Also was where I was when we clinched the Premiership in 2012.

 

[true believer]

it will be a real test of how were travelling . score first and win

 

[style_cafe]

Interestingly the Roar have lost more games than us this season, so we should be up for a big game

I would recommend Ettalong mantra, or as the locals call it, Ettalong big club. Has a good sports bar area with plenty of large televisions. Cant think of anywhere else on the peninsula worth watching sport at as you will probably find yourself in some corner watching on a small tv annoying some keno/pokie players. Been a few years since ive been down there though.

. so zach pulled up alright during the week?

 

[greenlig]

Seems it. Good to see we might start with the same formation/squad as last week!

 

[Big Al]

Pipped in the last minute at home but where dominated to honest.

Win we jump WSW into 2nd & only 4 points behind Roar. Loose back in the pack again.

Which McBreen turns up (If at all).

WSW although a game up, will still be in 2nd if they win (They will...) against Scum, if we lose we're still 2 points ahead of sydney if they win (which they won't) against Mel City.

A win is going to set us up though.. WSW and BRI play next week. If BRI form flutters coming to the pointy end of the season I can see us with a good chance of taking the plate this season, I don't think WSW have the experience to perform well in the ACL and HAL.

 

[Lowlander]

Roar have either played good football or average football this season, nothing in between, they are very beatable.
I am not going to predict a win for CCM only because I am sure I jinx the result whenever I do, so I will take it as it comes.
The premiership is very much undecided as yet, BR, WSW, CCM are all in with a good shot, a favourable result on Sunday for us and WSW will make for a great tail end to the season
COYY

Ettalong [big white building impossible to miss] ..

Just past the reception on the left is a sports bar ....

 

[eenfish]

Wait so is Sains gone immediately? Who we gonna have next to Zac? I hope Griffiths.

 

[scottmac]

Immediately.
Griffiths or Seip. Both will be in squad, one on the bench.

 

[Big Al]

Yeah Zac & Griff for me

 

[Big Al]

Lets hope the boys can pull there heads in and show up after all this activity Re: Mcbreen & Trent

What are the grades between good and average?

 

[ballantyne]

There's trouble at t'mill, minds are wandering, it's all about your career. We're ripe for a thrashing.
