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

[Michael]

Any other stand outs besides Simo’s hat trick?

How’d Macfarlane go for CCU?

 

[BrisRecky]

T9 be fair, The CCU boys were running on fumes....Super MARIO was o.k Clisby and Simon were ruling ....I was hoping that I’d get to see O’Neill and Muzz again...but they must of played the earlier game v Nth Shore Mariners ....the only exchange made in our game was when Kekeris came on late

 

[Josho Howe]

Mcfarlane wasn't at his best, but was still very good. Simon dominated in the air all night and got 3 goals out of that dominance.

 

[Wombat]

CCU were shite. McFarlane was their only bit of quality. Below the level of CC select v Bolt.

2nd half keeper so bad he made Pearce look good.

For us...

Kennedy....nothing to do. Looked ok
McGing....crossing is woeful.
Golec.....looked fit and switched on
cisse....this bloke is a tough unit, not classy but hard and simple like a slightly better Toppo-Stanley
Rowles....not bad but not great
Clisby....obviously not a winger but classy and could have had a couple but finished like a LB.
Melling.....did ok but definitely NOT starting 11 material
Shabow....started poorly but grew into the role. Not starting 11 but useful.
WeeMac.....not brilliant but clearly one of our best.
Simon...hat trick hero but could have had 5. Too much off a handful for amateur players. Still needs to calm done but in our top 2 players.
Can't remember the other bloke...,so he was ordinary or I've had too much.

To be fair to CCU, they’re probably still feeling the effects of their Saturday night/silly Sunday/mad Monday celebrations. Mariners never really got out of second gear.

Anyone know anything about the earlier game? Who played even wold be great? Is O'Neil back on the park?

I watched the second half from the sidelines and couldn't tell who was who as they mostly wore first team kit with first team names. The only one to stand out was Bolt who still needs a lot of fitness on the short and sharp stuff

 

[BrisRecky]

I was sitting with Steve Arbello, whose boy Alex is CCU, he wasn’t making excuses , but he said including Alex, half the team shouldn’t have been playing due to niggling injuries, all the changes CCU made were from the 18s and 20s .....having said that, what would O’Neill and Muzz done to em if they played

Monty told me it was a 1-0 win.

 

[Luca Brasi]

Keeper and back 4 were never tested; Rowles and Clisby combined well on the left; Weemac looked sharp; Simon must have won a dozen headers in the box but his timing was awful for the most part. The rest were mediocre in what was nothing more than a training run.

Not sure about much of that but I believe O’Neill played at least 45

Thats a good outcome if so.

Wonder if Ross & Tom will get a run

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Wonder if Ross & Tom will get a run

Unless they’re unfit. You’d certainly think so,

 

[Coastalraider]

Wonder if Ross & Tom will get a run

And O’Neill. Could be the first time we have the 1st team squad together.

 

[marinermick]

Reckon Bolt will play in this and the only reason they are playing in Wollongong is that they received money to play there.

Surely not from the Wolve's?
