Was Hatch playing in the left back position. I was impressed but suspect he picked up a knock.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Hatch has an unbelievable engine but i think hes a big shaky defensively. Think a left footed Millar (snake). Love to see him get a shot higher up the pitch

 

[Huddo]

I think macarther has a lot more riding on this then us, a loss yes they move closer to us but if they lose the field is back on em.

Gotcha. No worries. Thanks Adz

 

[true believer]

Truly feel this the pivotal match of the season.

why do you think that capecod ? i certainly expect to win .
these guys are certainly aren't the second best team in the A-league .
i do believe it's a game we need to win . to rebuild fortress gosford .

Big game. Great opportunity, Win our next two and we’ll be stamping some real authority down.

Massive two games here, especially since the Nix rolled Perth nicely.

Still makes me angry Adelaide are in the position they are...

I think we should call them " Refsbet FC".

Yes Yes and No. Very fit and very fast but huge question mark defensively especially when things don't go his way. Really needs to keep his focus and not get discouraged too easily. Absolutely no way should he play further up the pitch. Still have memories of 2019 NPL when Hatchy was having a brilliant season (at left back). Going in to the last game of the season, the winner of CCM v Northern Tigers would make the semis. We were unbeaten in our previous 5 games with an unchanged side for 5 weeks. For the last game, at Staj's request, Monty switched Hatch to an attacking LM/LW role and he was completely lost and we missed the attacking impetus he gave us when starting his runs from deep. He was frustrated and it disrupted our game. Also didn't help that Monty was forced to bring DRD back for that game (again Staj's request) - hadn't played for 5 weeks (during our unbeaten run) and had a shocker. We lost, missed promotion and missed the semis. Thankfully Monty learned from that and last year didn't play Hatch further forward at all.

Shame Stens still out tonight but I don't Macarthur have the cattle to test us...

I'll get my coat.

They have the cattle but the guy herding them is a systemic numpty....

 

[Ironbark]

I agree. Any team (or ref) can be a banana skin and the cows certainly have the cattle.

That said, there is no reason we can't beat them and again it's ours to lose. Would have been good to have Stens back but I think we'll get the job done

Unfortunately can't get to the game so will have to watch later on Kayo. Enjoy all you lucky ducks who get to go along!

It was Louis Khoury (who had a few mins off the bench in first grade at the end of last season as an AM) that started left back, and Hatch that came on to replace him.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Leading in, we know we can and should beat them. Which is always a very different kind of mental test for a team that for most of its season so far, has had the mindset of the under dogs full of grit who won’t back down...

Success destroys a lot of teams. Some only need a little and they unravel, many win a season and then struggle badly the next, some few, seem to keep it and make winning their culture.

I think we have the leadership on the park and togetherness to keep fighting with 110% every game. Do that and we’ll always be tough to beat. And win or lose I can take it.

But the key today, is the same level of high intensity effort. Matched by high intensity concentration - especially in defence. And lastly higher quality execution. Particularly in controlling the ball/game and finishing our chances.

Do that and we have too much for the meth cows. (Methcowthur?)

Come on you pink!!

Nervous about the next four weeks...

But if we win over the next four weeks will MV come a knocking for Staj...

Thanks for that, I imagine from what I saw he could be an effective AM. Is there anywhere I can find a list of players names against numbers. It would be handy for the next time I attend, to know who it is who impresses me?

 

[AuzDutchy]

id like to see

-----------Birraz
Nigro Tong Rowles Clisby
------Bozanic Janota
Nizzy---------------De Silva
------Bouman Urena

With Simmo & Kuol off the bench

 

[shipwreck]

Hard to drop Simon atm, his physical presence against Macarthur does somewhat get nullified and Bouman (alleged) speed probably would be more effective.

I also have a feeling this is the game Janota has a breakthrough.
