AU - Match

[Gratis]

Agreed - AU are in great form having hit the season flying due to the acl. They'll be tough but CCM will be their sternest test yet and they will also have player(s?) out for the 'roos.
I think the boys will be up for this one and with form and confidence should be able to do it. Arnie has been really nailing it tactically lately too which I also expect to be a factor...the likes of Jeronimo won't see the kind of flowing service he's used to for instance

 

[midfielder]

Thanks. It is Patonga.
I`ve never been there so I`ll add it to the list...

Ever wantta have a a cheap weekend away ... where the creek runs into the river there is a camping area with lots of shade and right on the that point of creek and beach...... get a tent ... short drive ... BBQ facilities there ... maybe 5 to 7 mins from Umina pick up your food ... as as MrCelery great fish and chips and pub ...

If it rains just go home ... is a hidden jewel...

Tommy will be missed, but they will sorely miss Vidosic as well, who was selected also, but is now out with apparently a serious knee injury. Big blow to their sides aspirations. Mercifully we get Tommy back They lose Eugene while we lose Matty. But they will also be without Osama Malik who has been playing very well for them.

They are a good side, playing well, but I think they will be more disrupted than we will be and I think we can do them.

Qantas Socceroos Head Coach Holger Osieck has confirmed that Dario Vidosic had been withdrawn from his squad for the East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) East Asian Cup 2013 qualifying tournament due to a knee injury.

Coming from the City of Churches will Dario be miraculously cured and available to play this weekend What is the ruling (if there is one) if you are selected for the Socceroos and withdraw thru injury can you still play club football although not fit enough for International

 

[adz]

Ha yeah interesting. Club before country anyway, IMO

 

[Gratis]

i'd imagine he'd be allowed to play for his club but you'd think that he'd want to play for Aus even more than for AU...if he's fit enough to play at all i reckon he'd be in camp so don't expect to see him come weekend. at least i hope not..

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Yeah no way he's foxing. If he played this weekend, Holger would never pick him again.

BOM has saturday down as mid 30's with thunderstorms late afternoon/ evening... could be a wild one!

 

[Jesus]

Surely it will be a simple Ollie in for Tommy. Ollie showed more in his 20mins last week than pelle has shown in 2 years.

Also a win this week could put us top of the all-time standings

Wow... how cool is that!

what he said

 

[Wombat]

Agree with Jesus. Olly is taylor made for that spot.

 

[pjennings]

I think that if Sterj is fit he may replace Tommy. Olly will start on the left and Bernie will drop back to the bench. Personally I'd like to see

---------Duke------
Olly----McBreen----WeeMac

I really think Duke will be a standout this season if he is gets a chance with older heads around him. I also think that that is probably our 'best defensive' attack. We don't want to be giving too much ball away and be open to counter-attackes with Maty missing.

Just a thought - the only game lost this season was due to reprehensible refereeing (vScum) meaning that so far all season the boys have not deserved to lose a single game played. It's good being a CCM fan

Here here, Duke/Ibini

Methinks Arnie is gonna give pellers a go tho, he had him on the bench to replace Rogic 2 weeks back. Olly needs to be right in the mix

 

[Gratis]

On another note - having Dutchy & Ollie back in the squad is a real boon despite losing Rogic, Ryan and probably Sterj for another week. I think Sterj has been extremely good value and hasn't gotten the credit he deserves as yet...

I regard the Mariners as unbeaten this season

 

[dibo]

That's silly talk. Referee errors or no, we got no points that day, something that will have to be rectified with extreme prejudice later in the year.

The most important thing this weekend is showing Adelaide who's boss. They should be made to bow down to the Premiers this week.

strongly concur

 

[midfielder]

Wonders aloud if weather reports about the heat on Saturday are correct should the game moved back to a 6:45 kick off...

Jesus love your chart...
