Given the schedule I'd be happy with a point with this one. In no way confident.

 

[FFC Mariner]

While a win would be ideal, a point will do (just).

Roar are likely to beat Adelaide so we would retain top spot, need to beat Adelaide at home and then have to go to Wellington for a result............yikes

 

[Jocwa08]

I'm pretty confident with this one.

2-0 rogic and dutchy

Reckon anyone brought into the team will start give anyone a rest?

 

[midfielder]

In terms of play when ready ... this seems to be happening to us every time we play ...

In: 9.Shane Smeltz (Returns from Injury), 10.Liam Miller (Returns from Injury),... every team seems to get their best back when they play us...

 

[Roy Law]

Tough gig but this is when top teams perform; I am hoping the trip away has improved the spirit and confidence within the team - they played quite well in China - and that they lift for this. Tipping a hard fought gutsy win.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Miller is out according to latest reports.

Shame

I've not been so disappointed since that time I found a fiddy in the street.

 

[Ravana]

Miller out, Smeltz sounds like proberly out.

With Sterj gone, I wonder how glory will do.

I like how conditions are going against us.... expect a job done and a win!

Shocking! can't believe Brisbane clawed bak for a win!

Really need to win this one to keep the pressure off us at home and in NZ

Bernie on sideline
Deflection Ryan misjudges easy take and Dodd scores simple goal - carries on like a wanker after scoring.
Rogic shoots - over the bar
Biased commentator
