Grand Final Injuries & Suspensions Updates

[striker]

Tommy is probably the worst of the injuries, lucky for him we have a week off

That's not good for us at all.....

How about Aloisi...... what was wrong with him on sunday?  has he an injury?  or is it poor confidence?  if it's the latter..someone give him a big hug and tell him we all love him and start scoring again....

a number of factors for johnny:
1. being double marked leaving sasho and kwassy with extra space
2. knee still a problem
3. and my guess confidence a little low after muffing some easy chances recently

any one know if training sessions are open to the public?  maybe some supporters should front up and give his extra support, encouragement and boost confidence etc.

Well if Matty gets a goal next weekend then we know the hug works

If Matty plays next weekend I'd be surprised.

In Football Fever today there was an article about Matty and Lawrie said that "He will play some part in the GF"

 

[Omni]

He'll be on the bench, that's playing a part. You don't know who's going to do what this far out from the game, maybe he will, maybe he won't.

4. Exhaustion & rushed preparation after returning from Roos camp/duty
5. Flying with slight injuries & post-game stiffness actually aggravates them (swelling, bruising etc. I think it's to do with the pressure change and sitting still in a confined space)
6. Building some suspense for the final!

He might be given a bit of time towards the end if we are winning safely..otherwise, we need strikers who can score..like Petrovski and Aloisi...... even though they have been a bit lazy lately, they can put them away........ we want to win farken! 

6. Building some suspense for the final!

I don't understand how you can "build suspense" by playing badly?  :

 

[Tez]

if Matty scores just one goal this season i hope its the one that wins us the grand Final!
That will be something to celebrate!

Had to look at that photo a couple of times before I realised they were celebrating....at first glance, it looks like Matty has ?accidentally? caught Lawrie in the crown jewels...or maybe he's just trying another tactic in his quest to get a regular starting spot.......

....either way, scoring his first in a GF would be a dream come true for all of us.

Accordingly to the express today Tommy &  Ceccoli OK but no word on boogs.

Anyone here anything ...........how bad........all the express says is was a 
groin strain.

any more news?

Found bugger all today after looking at the Mariners, A-League, Central Coast Express & SMH sites.

Most of the focus, understandably, is on the Jets-Roar Preliminary Final.

The only Mariners news is Viddie's retirement.....
