R18: Roar v CCM

[tim...]

Saturday 5:15pm (4:15pm Brissy time)

Sadly this one leads into Vuck v WSW so we're probably gonna get about 3 minutes of preview on Fox and maybe 2 minutes of post-match.

Monty & Ascroft back, who makes way?

SQUAD as follows

 

[FFC Mariner]

Stella will go and we will start with 3 CM's I reckon.

His work rate is shite and even Garcia tracks back better.

Ascroft to the bench maybe?

 

[dibo]

The club's emails are dropping hints that Garcia's starting soon.

Izzo
Roux Poscoliero Ascroft
Monty McGing
Ferreira Garcia Austin
Bingham

Without the ball it'll turn into

[tim...]

I think Stella's workrate and attitude has been good, he's simply just not fit enough yet. Dittto Fletch.

 

[true believer]

rose jnr must start . I think micky neill would be unlucky not to get a start either.
I think stella has been ok .I like him as a sub if garica starts .
garica hasn't played for a long time .any more than 45 to 50 minutes is very riskiy
with the golden goose .

Missing a left back or have I had one too many whiskeys? Or both? Probably both. Porque no los dos!?
TW has mentioned Garcia aiming to start vs ADL next week but I wouldn't be overly surprised if he's brought into the starting XI this week based on his impact on the second 45 against the 'nux.

 

[dibo]

Oh yeah. I'm gonna lace on the boots at LB.

Nah, Rose to go in there.

 

[tim...]

As expected, Cap'n returns along with Ascroft and Bray, Uskok also promoted so there's plenty of competition for bench spots. THB and #ThatBoyTrent are left at home.

 

[Pirate Pete]

Unavailable:NIL. Are we going to sneak Roy back in early then?

[MagpieMariner]

Tricky not mentioned, has he gone then?

 

[Big Al]

Tricky not mentioned, has he gone then?

Well that's a tricky question

 

[Wombat]

Tricky not mentioned, has he gone then?

He was with the squad before Nix game.

 

[adz]

I guess he doesn't fit into any of the categories there - isn't unavailable, isn't in, and isn't out (from last week)

 

[MagpieMariner]

Yeah fair point, Heff isn't mentioned either.

 

[dibo]

Maybe they forgot the "14.Daniel HEFFERNAN (not considered for selection), 18.Glen TRIFIRO (not considered for selection)"...

 

[sydmariner]

Tricky not mentioned, has he gone then?

http://www.ccmariners.com.au/team/a_league No, the club still has him listed in the team.

 

[Spacks]

I'll be there!

 

[Deej]

I think Brisbane's attack will be too strong for our defence, hope I am surprised. Brisbane under Aloisi has surprised a few people this year, they're playing good football.

After seeing Stella start last 2 games he's done nothing for me, sadly not too many options if we want Garcia to make an impact off the bench again.

On the Trifiro subject I wouldn't be expecting him to be in the squad any time soon unless we're lacking numbers, sad if he's fit because I think he offers more than what I've seen Stella offer in the time he's been here. A little harsh perhaps as Stella needs time but when you only have a contract for 12 games like he does you need to make an immediate impact.
