R7 v WSW away
- Thread starter tim...
- Start date
I am thinking that the relative lack of posts on this thread probably point to our collective apprehension about this fixture?
If we are unable to beat a struggling Wanderers, what does that say about our prospects for this season? As others have said, the next three games are crucial to the path that the team is likely to take for the remainder of this campaign. A couple of wins potentially puts us in contention for the top six and will give the boys something tangible to aim at, whereas a loss or two could be devastating to the belief that we need to retain.
MMM will need to consider how we set up against WSW, just like he did against Glory and SFC, as we need to match them and not be unnecessarily exposed. Like many on here, I will be disappointed if Melling starts if Tom H is fit and Millar or McGing could rightly feel aggrieved if either lose there spots after their efforts in last week’s game.
Heading down for this one on the bus and hoping we will all be smiling after the final whistle.
COYY!

Makes sense but seems a bit harsh to cut Clisby and retain Golec, talk about mixed messages. Clisby hasnt been his best but he didnt pass to the best player in the comp just outside the box.
It would be silly to underestimate WSW in this one. Their coach would have given them hell this week and their next games are Sydney, Adelaide, City and Victory. This is an important game for them too and they'll know it. A loss could see them 10th by the end of the year, especially if the nix can bring the same performance they brought against Perth.
I think lack of posts is more about limited information about the team along with some apprehension. I'm optimistic but the last few years have taught me a thing or two about that.

If we win and nix lose well at least be off the bottom.. A 5-0 win puts us ahead of scum if they lose.... Lol
We need to get wins on the table before the derby on Xmas eve eve.
If we lose tonight we face nix with lowered confidence. Odds will be on them, and scum will f**k us over. We need these 2 wins to bring it against Jest. And from there, we're suddenly eyeing off a top 6.
Can we get 3 wins on the table?
I haven't watched the drivebys all year and I missed our game last week.. No idea waft to expect.
Tom H worries me.. It seems that something is being concealed from us...

Misguided maybe .......... hopefully ......... but it is also a symptom (no pun intended) of not wanting to get injured while in the “exit” hall.
Mc’s big spend wasted because of results and jan window close enough to recoup some cash.
Wouldn’t blame him as spoon to eighth is only on offer it would seem ............ and tom will be free agent at end of season ???
It could be Tom is leaving come Jan and he is trying to get Melling up to speed. In the scheme of things playing Tom if he is going is a waste of time.
Is it though? If that tips a draw to a win or a loss to a draw we've secured some important points. I don't think the people of the coast are expecting miracles but if we can move up to even 8th it puts some distance on the spoon and buys some hope and goodwill.
Edit: We've had 1 win in the last 12 months. If playing a departing player can tip us over for another one or two I think it's well worth it.
I think though, in the context of the whole season we will get more points by playing who we have now. All hypothetical though as i will be praying Tommy is staying.
I hope he's staying too. The main reasoning behind my comments is the next 3 weeks are a great chance to put some points on the board, in the context of having 4 wins last year and the start we've had I don't think we're in a position to do anything to weaken that chance with the expectation of making it up later. We need to have our strongest starting XI that's available and give people a reason to hope or you'll have 4-5k turning up the day we do turn it around.

I think mm has shown his hand ........ he doesn’t want to lose. Tough and ugly hard is the order of the day.
Victory had more trouble handling us ........ and we scored .......... than the games since.
Each and every game is going the same way so far.
It’s going to be a long season. Hopefully lessons learned will be implemented with the new management recruits.
So rude and hilarious

Hasn’t tommy H been injured? Why would start a bloke whose been out for 3 was with a groin injury? If he doesn’t start this wk perhaps there’s something to query.
My understanding is that he was dropped to shake him out of his complacency, which I would have no issue with, if that applied to all players within the squad.

Agree. He needed a kick up the Arse after the game when he was hooked early. Point made Mulvey now get back to putting out our best side.
Like you say, many other players have needed a shake up but it hasn't happened.
We have 4 top quality players in our squad from what i've seen. Aspro, Ross, Tommy and Aiden. (Weemac looks superb at training but less so in the games)
