This one could get ugly but if we see real improvement in the defence along with the attacking play there's hope.
A big loss and those questioning TW's direction are going to multiply and get louder. We just have to hold our nerve, keep going and look for that defensive improvement.

Anyone else dreading 2 Sydney AM's charging at Monty having hit the ball into the space behind our midfield 2?

Or sitting deep and killing us down the left?

I'm excited about seeing us play. I kinda love what we are trying to do but.....

I do NOT want us to go back to the shit Moss gave us last year. I don't care (well, I do care, but I can live with) if we get beaten, as long as we keep playing the way we have been this year.

Here's hoping Arnie gets them to keep making the first pass backwards like the derby. Might have a chance to get someone back to help.

Who am I kidding.

Fitzy and Caceras yeah we will comeback to get the ball but we aren't doing that tackling thing that Monty does. Could get our boots dirty.

Fab no way am I going anywhere near our side of halfway. I can't score from there.

Austin no thanks I'm good I'm big but I don't do the intimidating thing.

Roy I will if u want me to but you don't.

Monty and his kids it is.

Love Wombats spirit on this one. COYY. They're not that good it's true. In fact I think they're downright dull tbh. But they will be organised and well drilled, and if we don't make some serious tweaks, Arnies game plan will almost certainly exploit what has been there to be taken. Even Perth could have had 5.

Large hole in midfield. Horrible zonal marking. Players still unsure when to close down or to go with their man... final ball never finding our strikers feet (or head) though to be fair, we found his stomach once...It's a start I guess o_O

Bring in Rosey and Posc though and we'll definitely firm up defensively. Score first and continue to threaten and they'll probably start to open up a bit.

But if we don't make any tweaks... well, we know we can attack, that we're fit and enthusiastic. So make a fist fight of it when we don't have the ball, and attack like lunatics as per usual when we do, and we still might pull it off regardless.

1-all v City, 1-0 v Jets, 1-0 v WSW.

They might be first but they're not exactly world-beaters. We're in with a very good shot at this one.

For the superstitious......Eerily the 7-2 shellacking we gave them was 4 days after 'Halloween', watching the above vid Simon Hill couldn't help himself .... "Well Sydney look to have given up the ghost"

That's the Arnie effect. Apart from a few notable games our football under him wasn't exactly thrilling stuff.

However win 1-0 every week and no one cares

We were ok at first but the final season with us was dire. Im grateful to Arnie but also think he is overrated thanks to us. Victory, with a retard in charge made a fool of him at the last grand final.
Little did we know how f**kin clueless his 2ic was going to prove.
