2018 Pre-Season Games ...... yes they exist !!

[Ozhammer]

Second half is much more of an arm-wrestle, hopefully we can keep the Drive-By’s scoreless

How does Cisse look?

How does Cisse look?

He looks strong. No fuss defender. Doesn't pretend he is a footballer so doesn't worry about passing it around the back.

 

[marinermick]

3-0 full time

 

[Ozhammer]

Final score 3-0. Gritty second half but the boys held on.

I heard our squad was still not our first squad but wsw pretty much was ...?

Good stuff, nice work on the updates gentlemen.

Be good if the club do a write up of the match tonight or in the morning. Let the general fan base know.

I heard our squad was still not our first squad but wsw pretty much was ...?

Going off this:

4-2-3-1
Kennedy
Millar Cisse Rowles Clisby
Melling Hiariej
Pain McGlinchey Murray
Simon

From the match today, I’d assume only Millar (unless he becomes more solid defensively before RD1) would be replaced by McGing and Rowles, Melling and Murray out for Golec, O’Neil and Oar (when he’s announced)
Pretty close to what we can expect our full strength.

WSW were missing Janjetovic, Bridge and Risdon.

We were missing O'Neill, Oar, Golec (though on the bench), Hoole, Gameiro and one probable from ours.

Bahaha. Love this comment Mick.

Thanks for the great updates.

Yes yes, that’s all fine and good, but did you find your road runner?

How was Weemac?

 

[NoDiggity]

How was Weemac?

Weemac was great, chased down every back pass & linked up well with Tommy on more than one occasion.

Was very impressed with Murray, he’s able to bring the ball down & cross into the box which is dangerous with the likes of simmo in there

Good hit out this arvo from the boys. 3-0 up by the 18th minute and shut WSW down. WSW were pretty poor and were playing a pretty close to full strength team. Produced very little and our backline didn't have a lot to do.

For us, Clisby was very good, Cisse was much better, looks fitter, Simon was lively (as usual), McGlinchey showed good signs (was still closing down in the 90th minute), Murray was good on the right, Hoole has competition for that spot now. Rowles was good, but MOTM was Tommy H. Awesome awesome player. Produced some lovely touches and has a first touch most A-League players wish they had.

Said it a million times, Tommy is levels above this league. We are lucky to have a player of his ability. When Brama left I was petrified Tom would go with his mate.
If only Australian football could produce players with his technique and intelligence regularly

O'Neill. Same standard in the one game I saw.

O'Neill. Same standard in the one game I saw.

His development has come from England though.

The goals

 

[Josho Howe]

1st goal was poor defending. Easy for Simmo
2nd was nice work from Pain and a nice finish from Tom
3rd was the pick of the bunch, Murray was excellent all day getting up to win headers at the back post and Pain does well to chest it to Mikey whose finish is superb. Low and hard into the corner.

Good signs.

Quality. I'm starting to get my hopes up again.
