ALM Round 1 vs Adelaide

I think Adelaide will be gunning for us. We are a very different team to the one that flogged them, too.
I’m keeping my expectations in check.

 

[Michael]

I know it’s so early and the proof will be in the pudding. But I’m getting good vibes from Jacko, seems to have a highly intelligent football brain.

 

[Big Al]

Club need to put a mic on the interviewers

Yeah he was speaking like someone whos been around the club for years, good signs

No more substitution shenanigans tonight....but wouldn't be surprised to see a dirty game from Adelaide.

I think we've got the team to beat them, but R1 predictions are always tough

 

[midfielder]

So many changes to the squad, many questions, many assumptions, its a new team, with a new coach.

For me its also a new league, something just seems different this season, whether its the new boy at the top or the success over the twelve months or so of the national teams,. perhaps its the Ange effect..

Perth, Roar, MV all look stringer, WU playing out of their own ground, GF back to the way it was.....

One thing that has not changed is the media, or should I say lack of, except for the negative articles and A-L ownership being in tax havens... they will always find something.

I get the feeling we will have a floating shape this year, constantly changing to suite the flow of the game at times 5-4-1 at times 3- 2-2-2.

Looking forward to tonight.... COYM...

Are you expecting lots of red cards for us?

Another season, another promise to 'crack down on dissent'.

Apparently the 3rd player into a confrontation will be booked (fair enough), as will the 3rd player into mobbing the ref (so.....the first 2 players are allowed to sprint up and scream in their face???). Apparently they'll crack down on managers using the 4th as a verbal punching bag, and on timewasting (as long as they actually do something about players running up to block a quick kick).

Meh, we've heard it all before, many times. I'll believe it when I see it.

Very interesting night tonight. This is Monty's team designed to play Monty's way. How will Jacko settle the team into his style. Will it be effective against Aleague opp. Especially the team we f**ked over so well and so often last season.

Happened twice in our ALW game last weekend so you've already seen it and it led to 2 red cards being a second yellow.
It's third player in for a ref confrontation because there are more often than not a couple of players around a decision when made and we are all heated during a game so you can't start booking everyone that reacts to a decision. But third player in is fair enough. You've more than likely had to travel a distance to argue with the ref.

Million dollar question.

Simon in for woman & storm & kuz out

 

[Corsair]

Storm is injured

 

[FFC Mariner]

1 all I think. We have a settled and decent back 5. 2 in the middle are the same.
Just the front where the questions are

 

[Hello Sailor]

Is there a designated club for us to watch away games like tonight's? CCLeagues, Iguanas?

Agree 1-1 and questions of clicking up top but not sure about backline being settled.

Kaltak on a new side for A League
Paull first A League game
Doka first A League game
Faz back in LB after losing his spot.

As a 4 not much time together. I think they will do well but Adelaide can be tricky. I see at least one break down

Brian Kaltak?.

Red carded for being the third man in despite minding his own business 10m away.
