Yeah, my cousin just got there. I'm trying to finish off a uni assignment, but I'll be there after 3 sometimes.
When do you expect people will be heading across to the game?

That'd mean a lengthy sentence then.
Tell them 'not to worry' as we'll soon have a spoon on its way, to help them tunnel there escape.

However the way they've been playing the last couple of matches, that's not going to be a gimme.

Melbourne City seek return to winning ways
Melbourne City attacker Nick Fitzgerald says quelling his former side's triple-threat of Luis Garcia, Fabio Ferreira and Mitch Austin will be key for City on Sunday.
Melbourne City need a heart-starter in their title shout, three weeks after blowing a chance to go top of the table in a helter-skelter 4-3 loss to Western Sydney.
Since then, they've lost to Newcastle and emerged from the Melbourne derby with a barely-merited draw to fall off the premiership pace.
When the league's worst side comes to town on Sunday, van 't Schip suggested he was keener to see a result than a performance.
"Tomorrow is all about getting three points," he said on Saturday.
"A draw against Victory, that's not a result that everybody worries too much about.
"But a loss against Newcastle, that is.
"We need the three points (against Central Coast) if we're to keep in the race for the highest positions."
City will be without at least two starters from last week's derby, with Anthony Caceres suspended for his red card and Harry Novillo stood down for his role in a domestic dispute.
Pushing Michael Zullo up the pitch or returning young winger Steve Kuzmanovski to the first-team are options for van 't Schip to replace the wayward Frenchman.
Filling Caceres' position is more straight-forward, with Jacob Melling likely to come straight back into the side after a one-week suspension of his own.
Nick Fitzgerald will play against his old side, saying he was looking forward to competing against "plenty of mates" still at the club.
He pin-pointed a trio of players that need to be shut down.
"Fabio Ferreria, Mitch Austin and Luis Garcia have been doing really well," Fitzgerald said.
"If we can restrict them to minimal touches on the ball, we'll go half way to winning."
Van 't Schip is wary of the last-placed Mariners, who he believes are playing above their station and have been aided by the addition of veteran Luis Garcia.
"Everybody expects us to win but this league has shown that its not like that ... Victory played them a few weeks ago and half-time they were 3-0 behind," he said.
"They got in Garcia in who's still a good payer and can give them something extra on top with through balls and scoring.
"We have to be aware of that and just go out there and get three points."

Hadn't seen this, From yesterday;
Garcia back to the bench as the Mariners plan to speed past City:
Luis Garcia is set for a return to the bench as the Central Coast Mariners seek more second-half inspiration from the Spanish veteran in Sunday's meeting with Melbourne City at AAMI Park.
Mariner coach Tony Walmsley confirmed the 37-year-old will be expected to provide the spark off the bench after he made his first A-League start in last week's loss to Adelaide United.
"We're going to look after him, it's another short turnaround trip, we want him fresh for the Jets game at home next week," Walmsley said.
"I would say at this stage Luis is likely to come off the bench and give us that impact that he's given us in the previous games."
With Garcia to be saved for an impact role, the Mariners are planning to go at their opponents from the start, targeting what Walmsley believes is a heavy-legged City defence, with all-out pace.
Flagging starts for striker Josh Bingham, wingers Fabio Ferreira and Mitch Austin and 17-year-old Trent Buhagiar, Walmsley said neither City captain Patrick Kisnorbo or a "rusty" Alex Wilkinson - a former title-winning Central Coast captain - will be able to keep up with the "explosive" speed of the Mariners' attack.
"He hasn't had a lot of game time," Walmsley said of Wilkinson.
"At least we're playing Wilko when he's not 100 per cent peak form.
"(Bingham) is the kind of centre forward who can really give Wilkinson and Kisnorbo a headache. We'll launch some bombs into Bingers this week and see how they cope with that, with Fab and Mitch running off him.
"We've got quite a formidable and potent forward line, we're going to cause their defence some problems.
"If we can get the ball into the right area and deliver balls in behind their defence, the likes of Kisnorbo over 10, 15 yards will, as much experience as they have, will find it difficult to cope with our sheer pace."

That article hints at all 4 possibly starting. 
Perhaps 4-2-3-1
Roux ------ Posco --- Uskok ---------- Rose
---------- Monty --------------Ascroft ---------
Fab ---------------- Budgie ----------- Austin
----------------------- Bingo -----------------------
Interchange Bing & Trent, with Bingo very good aerially - winning a lot of headers and flicking on for the flying Budgerigar's runs in behind.

That's what I thought too. Nothing in the news all week.
But then again Foxtel gets the scoops as we found out last week.
Trouble is they kept it to themselves

We cant handle citys press. You have to go past players when they press this hard or win a foul. You cant just keep knocking it back or you just invite even more pressure and get pinned.
WOOT!!! Great solo goal by Austin
