R1 - Mariners v WSW Grand Final Rematch

[eenfish]

Will be more than 50% away by all accounts.

Will not be surprised if this is the case. There was at least 1/3 away supporters last season.

 

[Familygamenight]

All good hard cash for the club at least. Hopefully its another 2-0 scoreline to promote the game further in the region

Down to 1,500 seats, according to Facebook.

It would be great to get a sellout to open our season!

No WeeMac for this game

He has NZ duties

Drats.

So line up will likely be:

----------------Pasfield------------
--Roux--Sainsbury--Siep--Rose--
------------Monty--Hutch---------
----------Fitz--Flores--Duke------
----------------Simon--------------

Bench: Reddy, Anderson, Caceres, Sterj

Not too shabby IMO. Wanderers will really have to be top of their game to stop us I reckon.

I have a feeling Simon isn't quite up for it yet. There was talk at the fan day he wasn't quote over his groin injury yet. I think Fitzy is better on the left.

I think it will be this.

I won't mind, both Duke and Simon have looked great in preseason. As long as Fitz keeps his preseason form alive, he was something else in Indonesia.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Gayyyyyyyy

Doubt it, he's there for football I believe.

Maybe Caceres in for Sterj. That is if Matty is not quite fit enough.

I'd love it if Caceres got a run but I think he will want a balanced team of youth and experience. I think Caceres will come on for Monty around the 60th minute mark especially if we are still level or drawn.

 

[Brighty]

Bumped into a guy this morning and got talking about the game.... he said he'd heard on the radio that it's now all sold out. Can anyone confirm this??

 

[Capt. Awesome]

You can still buy tickets on ticketek.

Still Gold, General and Yellow Army available.

 

[localpom]

Saw an article on the world game that Matty should be ok for the WSW game. Not that i necessary believe anything on there. Positive 0f WeeMac been out for 2 games is that someone really gets a chance to fight for a spot. Plenty of options.

[Roy Law]

Can't see Caceres starting; Fitzgerald has been on fire in pre-season. Seven players are missing from the GF run on side - Ryan, Bojic, Patrick, Bozanic, Ibini, McBreen and McGlinchey. We still look like we have a very good line-up though; it is going to be a cracker of an opening game.

 

[true believer]

I hear there is some new bloke who is likely to push Mooy out of the fray, can't recall his name.

Also I know Tony said he won't give Spiranovic a start week 1, but he'd be crazy not too.

 

[12th player]

Based on pre-season performances :

----------------Pasfield------------
--Roux--Sainsbury--Siep--Rose--
------------Caceres + Monty or Hutch--------- Monty has played better than Hutch in pre season.
----------Duke--Flores--Fitzy------
---------------- Sterj--------------
Bench: Simmon, Monty or Hutch, Reddy, Anderson,

Monty has played better than Hutch in pre season.

Big call that. Personally have been very disappointed with monty in pre-season. Has looked rusty, turned the ball over at nearly every opportunity.

Will be interesting to see if Arnie starts Sterj or Simmo.
