Round 5 - Perth v CCM

[marinermick]

Today is the fifth year anniversary to the day of us beating Perth 2-1 in Perth. We were down 1-0 from a Jamie McLaren goal but McGlinchey equalised and Mitchell Duke scored a 90th minute winner.

Perth should honestly rip us apart. That squad is very very good and should be at least top 2. Agreed that we have to hope they are well off their game. I think if we can snag an early goal, that would be huge. But honestly, not liking our chances in this one unfortunately.

I can’t believe the negativity

 

[Offsider]

I can’t brlieve the negativity

Actually ......... you can’t believe the reality.

Unless you understand the real position ......... you cannot truely appreciate any improvement in the overall scheme of things. We are not in a better position than last year ......... half the recruited plugs for the holes are still injured ........... players having to be picked out of position experiments failing through no fault of their own ............ interupted preseason by all of the above etc etc.

Here’s something positive for you ......... take off your club blinkers they do not help or change anything ........ it is what it is but it can only get better.

Already We are going to look better for me ......... foxtel 4k is phenominal.

 

[Offsider]

We've already seen some disappointing signs, however this will really see what we are made of. And by that I mean, how have the coaching staff and players reacted to a couple of poor performances. This will be our toughest test so far.

I'm not expecting miracles, all I hope for is that we string together 90+ minutes of solid football with improvements all over the paddock. In my eyes, all we need to do is:

• Have faster movement with the ball;
• make chances in the midfield;
• improve our passing; and
• get combinations working in attack.

If we get beaten 2-1 and do all that, I'd be happy. There will only be a few teams to beat Perth this year, realistically I can't see us doing it at this point in the season.

No pressure then ..........

It was a tongue in cheek comment to a mate, settle down Bessie

haven’t read/heard we have trained the house down like the drive byes have been saying. We should have been IMO.

When you train against yourself you always look good

 

[MagpieMariner]

I hate being negative, so I'll say I'm positive that I hate being negative. However, comparing Glory against Adelaide with us against Adelaide, we will have to improve a huge lot to prevent this being a double-figure score. I would love to be made look foolish, but, really...

Thats why I was worried that the majority of our trials were against opposition who were inferior to us.

Adelaide look well gelled and up to tempo because they had been playing intense level FFA cup matches against Aleague sides.
We look slow and off the pace because we played makeshift NPL teams.

Sorry ........ couldn’t see the tongue in cheek ???? ......... thought it was something else

Just be doubly negative, that's a positive. Mathematically positive anyway

It's alright, we're still winning the league.

Night shift worker ?

He will answer when he wakes up at 4pm

 

[MagpieMariner]

Well, now we're last on points as well as GD, so we'd better do something f**king fantastic this weekend.

[Ozhammer]

Rome wasn’t built in a day

Yeah but that was the builder’s first estimate......

 

[Josho Howe]

Night shift worker ?

Nah, just go to sleep late on the weekend

A bit disappointed to hear today that the team was given 4 days off over the international break, as I don’t feel like they have earned that sort of reward as yet.
