FINALS - game 1 - CCM v ROAR

[timmers]

Simon and McBreen to start, Kwas to score a brace after coming off the bench in the 65th minute.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

No I don't think Bernie will be on the bench.
I think the only spot in likely contention is the second striker position - I suspect it will be McBreen who gets the nod.
Though perhaps Matty is not well enough to start yet??

 

[serious14]

Can't believe I agree with serious, WTF?

It's always a bad day for someone when that happens.

Although I had hoped you were agreeing with my "burn down FFA headquarters when they give the final to Brisbane anyway" bit.

 

[dibo]

Hard to burn down a level or two of an office block...

 

[mariners4ever]

maybe bernie to start with matty on the bench ?? because dont forget in the finals we now have extra spot on the bench to fill, unless they changed that ?

 

[midfielder]

For me I would rather see Perez playing along side Matty with Bernie on the bench to replace Matty... Matty role in part to run his arse off and keep Perez fresh.... have Bernie as the sub when Matty tiers with Amini playing the number 10 role...

 

[Ted]

Pretty sure we played a 4-2-3-1 formation against them earlier this year and they pants us?

To have the 2 forward boys in the squad sounds like there might be a bit of doubt over Simon?


So it will be a 5 man bench. who is the 4 out of Hutch, Sainsbury, McBreen, Kwas, Amini, Ibini & Duke

My 4 would be Sainsbury, Ibini, Amini & McBreen with Kwas in the 11




Oh and f**k Breeze.

 

[midfielder]

Means both sides at full strength...

 

[fish]

Bernie and Kwas up front? Why not?

 

[scottmac]

Means both sides at full strength...

But Mrjda's not in the side ???

 

[MagpieMariner]

With there being a maximum of 4 games left for us this season, why not write Porter & Mrdja up as (season) instead of (x weeks). You don't need to be an Einstein to work out that they won't be back.

 

[Roy Law]

Doig already left for Indonesia is a bit of a surprise; must be doubt about Matt Simon with Bernie and Duke in the squad. If Matt is ok I expect Bernie and Duke to miss out - bench: Hendo, Hutch, Kwas, Sainsbury and Musti; if he is not ok then Kwas into starting eleven and Bernie on the bench

 

[hasbeen]

Simon and McBreen to start, Kwas to score a brace after coming off the bench in the 65th minute.

This is real-life and not x-box I'm afraid ...

 

[Roy Law]

It's the biggest game since we played Newcastle in the second leg a few years back - we won 3-0 that night in the best display I have seen from the Mariners. We need the same again tomorrow and we need Kwas to fire. Getting very excited about this game.

best game ever still got the ticket brings back great memorys

 

[midfielder]

I remember that night and leaving the stadium via the CCLC side exit and there were people in the club car park sitting on ledgers waving flags... the street was just packed signing .... the club that night had a feel to it I have never experienced agian or before for that matter... Dibo and others posted heaps of photos ... was a great night agree...

 

[Atomic]

This game is going to be EPIC! I'm so pumped right now... I hope I can last until kick off.

I honestly believe we can beat the Roar tomorrow. I honestly believe we can win the whole f**king thing!!!! Who'd have thought we'd be back in Asia so soon?

Planning on getting to the Kendall at 4pm... TBH, I feel like heading down there now
