Bogey team. Be a good time to go on a run and beat them consistently for our own decade.

No Monty and it will be another pasting. Roar are a good side and I just wonder if Okon is running dead to prompt our esteemed owner to actually invest in the football club.

Much as I like the idea of forgetting the last game... pretty sure we've lost our last two...

Club has confirmed we will wear the Surf Life Saving jersey this Sunday.

I don't think we're running dead as such, but our shortcomings are pretty clear.

I count as good as you quote posts

No intel on this, just going off all of his interviews, I actually don't think he'd be trying.

Strongly suspect that with his signing on it would have been need you to do your best with the players at hand and then we''all support you next off season in making the changes you think we need or done such.

Reminds me of the old Kariong kits from when they first came into the comp.

But you don't count as 'well'

If we beat roar in that jersey, can we please wear it in all our games against them please ccm.

I really like the kit and glad the initiative looks to be regular now. Great idea for a coast based side like us.

The Grammar Pedants and Associated Know-It-Alls Union would like to know if you're a member, and if not, why not?

I don't come to CCMFans for Engrish lessons!

 

[dibo]

Given sydmariner posts here, that's probably for the best.

I'm looking forward to this game in a bizarre kind of way. I'm expecting to lose... and lose convincingly. As such, the pressure of expectation is removed. I can concentrate on looking for the little things in our play that 1) give me joy, and 2) give me hope.

 

[Tevor]

Had no expectations against Perth the other week so using the same strategy. Just want to see them put in 110%.

The boys should plaster the white zinc on their noses for the full effect.
We can all bring a beach towel.
Whatever it takes, lets cover the field in sand.
"Tell him he's Dream'n"
Well I would love a win to put in the "Pool" room.

Covering the field in sand is a strategy worth considering I think.

Welcome McGr1m3,any fan of Andy Capp has to be good for a laugh....
The white zinc cream though is a seriously good idea.
Maybe a few girls in bikini`s & Pete Prior in his speedo`s would add to the "vibe".

Brisbane had an interesting win against AU.

Christensen has actually become dangerous. He scored against us and had a double in 1st half. Has scored 4 goals from 6 or 7 shots not bad for a DM.

AU controlled the 2nd half and dominated in Roar half but every entry into the box was hit with return to sender. Some poor crossing but the Roar had a very Strong back 4 which have played the majority of the season together. Au needed some more cut backs or some variation.
AU had the for 1st 10mins after half time, Roar went down other end and scored. Was very CCM Esk of AU.

McClaren hasn't been doing anything lately and we need to keep it that way.

Hope Monty is back and Faty might be a chance after his chat on the podcast
