Round 1 Away @ WSW

[Michael]

Yep. Was in apparently contention for selection on Wednesday night, but held off.

Makes us a lot stronger. I really fancy 3 points next week.
Schwelger is a huge player for them but I feel like we have a stronger all round midfield and our speed in central areas is a massive threat. Hopefully fox and kye continue their solid form from Wednesday to contain Meier if he plays.

I've been rating Fox on his displays so far

Prone to laziness and inattention. He's good, then he isn't at crucial moments. He needs Ziggy to kick his arse a bit when he slacks off.

Agree, hadn’t seen a lot of him before so it’s been a pleasant slight surprise. Starting spot is his to lose now.

So what are peoples' thoughts on pre-game pub? As I said before, with the RBB drinking at the Crown Hotel (and marching from), I think it would be best to go to a pub on the north side leaving the Rose and Crown and the Royal Oak as the two best options. I would prefer the RO but would rather go where there is more yellow.

Looking at the weather forecast, the 'experts' are predicting downpours beginning on Thursday and then relatively solid rain across the weekend. If the upper estimates come to pass more than 45mm could fall on the Harbour City. Temperatures will likely peak just shy of 20C.

- START practising people !

"We're WINNING in the rain,
& singing in the rain,
What a glorious feelin',
We're hap-hap-happy again,
Because ..We're WINNING in the rain, .."

Yeah you old bastard ha ha
I reckon about 3000 . Even the old ladies on the hill weren't out that day.
I think parra lost 63nil at brookvale on the return leg .but being a western suburbs support i was fine with that.

Saw Western Suburbs do the same to Manly at Lidcombe Oval. One of the Magpies dived over for a try and nearly drowned!

Line up predictions? I'm going with
-------------------------Birighitti---------------------------
Ziggy -------- Fox ----------Rowles -------- Clisby
-----------------------Stensness--------------------------
Silvera ---------Duric ---------DDS-------------- Oar
--------------------------Murray---------------------------

With the possibility of Duric dropping back for a 4-2-3-1 an option too.

Bench GG, weemac, majok, nisbet, pearce.

Yeah I’d say that’ll be the line up.
We’ll be a lot more structured and not as direct as we were in the semi. They’ve sucked me in again, I’m very excited for this.
Pretty annoying the club isn’t specific about Kim’s injury though. Does anyone know what the deal is?
He’s been training too.
