ALM Round 4 - Mariners v Roar 5pm Sunday 12th

[Tevor]

Via Singapore probably

KL I think.

 

[marinermick]

KL I think.

Yeah, Air Asia is via KL

 

[Meerkat]

Vuka said after the Bali game they have a 26 hour journey home. AirAsia haven’t done us any favours there. It will take me about 12 hours.

You’ve got to be joking ..

Air Asia makes Jetstar look classy.

6 to 6.5 hour direct flight to Sydney is the norm or 3.5 hours to Perth and then a domestic flight home.

 

[Coastalraider]

I’m certain the club didn’t partner with them because they have the most direct flights, but because it took tens of thousands of dollars off our operating budget. For a club like ours that matters.

Probably landed this morning ?

Surely at least one of Windust or Larson should have been involved in this squad?

Kaltak, Hall and Paull all have had significant game time, heavy travel and now have a incredibly short turn around. Isn't it time at least one of Windust or Larson gets an opportunity?

Same goes with Millard and Brandtman.

Desperate for a win so wants the best team on the park I expect. Going to be hot on Sunday as well.

 

[shipwreck]

Windust is better than Paull imo

Vuka was at Tuggerah at 9:30 this morning with a travel bag, so id say so

Would be super ballsy after the start we have had.

I think we will rotate the 3 between Hall Kaltak and Paull during the game.

Way too early and in need of points to throw those others in.

forecast has changed Looking to be a nice day and 27 now so hot but not to bad and maybe rain later in the afternoon with a southerly wind so probably cool off quite nicely

What I saw of Windust i liked, made fewer mistakes than Paull. Paull is bigger, but I don't know who's better on the ball and who has better distribution. So far I still think Hall is in front of both of them, but Paull seems the most likely to get us another pay check if we play him...

Windust was ok against MV I think it was when he played in Melbourne but I think he made an error or two and got pulled. Can’t quite remember.

Paull is settling down but I would like more of the Hall Kaltak combo and give Paull shorter sub spurts for a while just to adapt to the league. Will have less errors I think if can limit his exposure

I think Paull is better on the ball but Windust is better defensively with positional play.

Windust is solid enough if we had injuries or fatigue like this but he is a right side so would be 3rd behind Kaltak and Hall. He got sort of one look with Monty and that was it. Hasn’t pushed through under Monty to be seen as a sellable player like Paull could be. Maybe MJ seems more.

Depends how the boys pull up but would think they would get by without him. Roux could even cover if you say start with Doxa and have Roux cover all the backline with say Hall.

Nisbet needs a spell the most after a heavy workload but if Tapp is no go would MJ go with Steele and Max? Maybe start Niz and pull him off at halter or whenever fatigue gets him.

Also we have the international break after the game so can probably push a few like Niz a little longer in the game.

 

[Corsair]

pull him off at halter

Sounds very rude!

Really? I don’t remember him making any real errors, thought he just got pulled because he was only really in as hover?

Someone else may know better.

He made one error in an end of season game and we lost consequently. Then against some dead shits team, him and Hall both started together and proceeded to pass the ball back to each other repeatedly like a bad Okon dream.

He has a far lower error ratio than Hall, Kaltek and Paull.

 

[Allreet?]

I'm far more worried about our attack than any tinkering we might do with the defence.

 

[booney]

Roar's press has been effective so far so our defenders will need to able to counter this with plenty of movement and judicious passing.Balard and Nizzy wil have to make them selves available for the defenders.
