R18: Roar v CCM

[FFC Mariner]

Im with Deej

While the 3 in CM makes us more solid, a genuine number 10 has to pose a real threat in order to make the opposition devote a marker to them

Stella doesnt frighten teams in the way Garcia does.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Would ANYONE frighten teams in the way Garcia does? Bit hard to expect Stella to do so at this stage.

Fair point

I meant I don't think Stella is ever going to be more than a squaddie who can fill in if needed. Like Tricky really

 

[Rowdy]

"Frighten's" probably not quite the right expectation.

More so he needs to "Have them wondering ??? ".

And to achieve that, Stella has to find the space and THEN get his derrière' 'into-it',

Once he does that - then the opposition will be 'wondering' as FFC prescribes:
- "Do we mark him & commit a player?"
- "Or is he a non-threat?"

Like others, I'm still yet to be impressed by the odd few good passages of playthat Stella's contributed, (still looks pretty much the same standard I saw when he was at Melb.V) - but still hoping.

As DJ said, with only a 12 game contract...... you'd like to see him him step it up a gear, get a wriggle on, stop the navel gazing, pull his finger out, get the shark out with the frick'n laser beams. etc etc.

Brisbane's possession game is to strong for us. We don't like playing them, however with the renewed effort and a little luck two in a row not out of the question.

We haven't lost away for two weeks now.

Stella makes excellent runs, is the only one moving when everyone else is standing still. Just needs to be stronger and still adapting to the pace but I'm still sticking strong with him.

You have to say all the Australian Capital City teams seem to have finally got there stuff together and the Roar are no exception.... having said that I can see a spirit returning to the side as well as a bit of flare in Poscoliero, Ascroft, McGing, Rose and Fab...

 

[BrisRecky]

I'm thinking were gonna give Aloi$I a fn migraine, a point to us ( but 3 would be bonz)

Roar are our boggy team would love to beat em ..

 

[Rowdy]

Two teams that like to play open attacking football - have the defibrillator handy

 

[rbakersmith]

Austin's out with a back injury, replaced by Fletcher; Uskok is on the bench

 

[sydmariner]

Garcia is on the bench

 

[Atomic]

That's definitely going to hurt us big time. Fletcher for Austin is not a like-for-like replacement. I'll be interested to see the formation.

 

[Rowdy]

Would be better to have Fletch up front and Bingham on the lhs, Bingo will have legs needed for that position.

 

[pjennings]

I suspect that Bingers will play wing - probably right - with Fab inverting and Fletcher up front

 

[Rowdy]

CCM line-up:
------------------Izzo -----------------
Roux - McGing - Posco - Rose
------------- Montgomery ---------
------- LRose --------------- Neill
Ferreira ---- Bingham --- Fletcher

Subs:
Ascroft, Garcia, McDonald, Uskok & Bray (GK)

 

[Rowdy]

Fletch's left ???
Fab's right
Bingo central

 

[Rowdy]

Mickey Neil's gonna have sone work cut out for him covering Fletch on that left side

 

[Rowdy]

Great run forward from Neill to grt on the end of Rosey's long ball

 

[Rowdy]

Bingo nearly scores !!!
