Round 3 - PINK Round v Adelaide

[Offsider]

To my mind adelaide have the best stacked defense attacking trio in the league. Goodwin, Mileusnic and Boland not hampered by having to waste opportunities to assist their hopeless strikers diawarra and blackwood. Whether kurtz can get them up after their outstanding ffa cup win will play a major role for me.
They have a mistake prone centreback and we have Mc Cormack to capitalise if he repeats his cup booboo.

Another draw would keep me happy but no news on Golec is worrying.

I’d like to humble them. Theres the talent in our side to do it to. Looking forward to this.

They've got a great side on last night's game although Sydney really turned it into a scrap and it was down to 2 moments of individual brilliance. We really need to hold the ball more for this game. They can't score while we've got it. If we invite them on I think we'll find they will be more clinical than city or roar.
OTOH that game was physical and will have taken heaps out of them. Plus they need to travel. We should be able to go longer than them which bodes well for us as we haven't conceded until late in both games so far.

Yep,that’s me learned...I’m sticking to Dr Who and pro wrestling

Which one is more far fetched?

 

[Wombat]

My big concern for this game is how Golec has pulled up, as he looked very proppy after the $ity game. Monty thought it was a groin issue and they don’t generally fix themselves quickly.

If Golec is unavailable, Kye surely has to move to left CB, meaning we start McGing at RB. Not the worst thing we might have to do but it will take some adjusting to. Who knows, McGing might just give us a bit more going forward?

Golec is completely fine.

Golec is completely fine.

Wait... is that a statement of manly appreciation Like "Golec is damn fine!"?
Or a statement on his health/recovery like "Golec is feeling just fine"? ;-)

I’d be more worried if the mrs said he was .......... fine!!

Hoole is a surprise. he was still limping after training last week.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Encouragement award. Two to be omitted.

 

[Josho Howe]

Hoole on the bench for this one maybe? I think it'll be the same XI as last week.

 

[Coastalraider]

I’d say the inclusion of Hooke is just a little reminder you Oar/Pain/WeeMac that there is another winger about to become available, and they need to up the game a little bit.

He wont make the bench this week.

 

[Big Al]

Hoole is a surprise. he was still limping after training last week.

Might be playing mind games with AU but didn’t MM say on the pod he was very good before the injury.

Does Murray miss out or Weemac if he makes the team?

 

[true believer]

Mm is definately a hoole fan . So if fit
He gets a bench spot .
Just who's spot

 

[pjennings]

Melling? That would give us more attacking options. McGing and WeeMac can cover CM if need be.

 

[style_cafe]

I think some on here underestimate Hoole.
With a decent team around him I think he could be the catalyst we need going forward.
He`s decent on the ball but with better players around him he should be able to get the passes where they want it.
Interesting times ahead, but I think Hoole will be immense for us this year.....
