R17 v Victory @ home

[Wombat]

If Gem and Oar play we can win this. Tovinen is the only player i fear.

haha...I know Tevor and its cost me alot of money but had a nice $75 bank from Perth v Scum so willing to back us at the right price

Troisi seems to have come into good form as well and it’s your money Wombat but I would be waiting for another game to try your luck. Seriously think MV will win the Comp, they have the X factor to beat Popa’s consistency men.

I will probably be looking for a bet like a goal to be scored in the first half. Even though its usually only a 30 or 40% return its a bit better than the banks (but more risky).

They should win the comp but u really hope they don't. Makes a complete mockery of the league given the massive gift from the FFA. Just undermines the integrity of the comp

Agree, if they don't win with Honda and Toiv on the park then Muscrat should be sacked.

Honda has been out like 10 weeks. His game will be affected. Melling to tag him out of it. That leaves the rest of their mid field and forwards to negate. Nux showed it can be done.

Unfortunately, Nux are better than us.

We're pretty handy on the press for 60 odd minutes. It's a formula to follow at a minimum.

Yeah we pressed well against Radelaide and we are pressing the opposition longer in each game. Positive signs from a S+C point of view.

 

[Big Al]

Victory are another class above for the press but they do have Roux to be exploited

 

[MagpieMariner]

Roux scored a couple of matches ago, didn't he? He may be looking forward to exploiting our "defence".

Yeah from a corner header as well.

We should be looking to exploit Roux's lax defending.

Honda unavailable apparently

 

[turbo]

Wanted to see him play but can see why they might not risk him against us. Would be backing themselves to get it done anyway but it’s better for us if he doesn’t play.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Honda unavailable apparently

Just afraid of Melling showing him up as the pretender he is, that's all

So we sent Millar home from training but name him in the squad ???
I don't get it

Much as people saw him sent home, this could suggest that we're jumping to conclusions and he might just have been let out early because he's signing the mortgage for his new house at Terrigal, so he can stay close to the club where he'll be playing for the next couple of years?

In all seriousness though - from what was mentioned in the other thread, the thing that wasn't rumour, was that he was let out early - was there anything substantial to the contract bit?

 

[Timmah]

I imagine the squad list was sent to FFA before this morning's training run? Who knows
