When I used to work there I used to buy a "tin trup to Willington" - a ten trip ticket to Welly :D
With Ifill out we really have no excuse, we should take the points.

Available, but not chosen = the thread on Player Movements debates his current merit to the Club. For mine he is better than Sterj, better than Bernie (this will change in the future), and much better than Pelle. I'm disappointed he's not even making the trip

I agree mate, Oli adds much more IMO to the team and Rosey seems to play better with him there. Sterj I don't mind at all and adds to the team is my preference if Ol is not playing. Ibini looks lost out wide and Duke offfers more up front. If we were to release a player, I'd let Ibini go and give Pellers as the bonus boobie prize. Pellers does well in the youth team, but is out of his depth in first team.

Also disappointed Ollie was left out. Maybe to do with recovery still... Hope so. I agree with Fishsdad, just posted as such in the player movement thread. Bit worried about Kwas's future... but when teams are playing like this, squads are incredibly difficult to break into.

I would expect ollie was given another week off with his head with the big sydney game to come as well as NYE.

If AU lose to WSW, which is looking rather promising at 3-0, we should field our best against the Nix to take the 3 points and get a 4 point buffer.

Wellington Phoenix vs Central Coast Mariners - Saturday 3:00pm EDT - Westpac Stadium, Wellington. Wellington Phoenix have come under fire recently for so called "Dullball" turning away thousands of potential supporters. Ricki Herbert is under pressure because he's done precisely nothing of note the entire time he's been coach of Wellington and there is agitation for change. A huge blow is the loss of talisman Paul Ifill for surgery on an ankle injury, Brockie comes back from his injury. Wellington have been inconsistent, 1 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in their 4 recent matches. There is never a good time to face the league leaders but this could be very bad for Wellington. They aren't playing very well, their tactics aren't impressive, their structure is lacking. Jeremy Brockie and Stein Huysegems have 10 goals between them no-one else apart from Ifill has even two goals to their name. Unless both Huysegems and Brockie fire it could get ugly.The Mariners are sailing high, riding the crest of their 8 game unbeaten streak (wins in all but the 2-2 draw with Victory in Round 7), and have turned in two impressive, by the book 2-0 victories. Admittedly they only faced Newcastle and Heart, but you can only beat whoever the draw puts in front of you and the Mariners have done that as often as anyone else in the competition. Mile Sterjovski returns from injury, and may start from the bench in favour of Mitchell Duke. Central Coast are one of teams best suited to playing away in Wellington. They are compact, intelligent on and off the ball, work smartly as a group but have the ability to play harder if required. Arnold will keep them tight at the back to avoid any quick surprise goals and will look to keep the ball away from the home team. Wellington's form is unpredictable and all teams eventually put in a less than stellar performance and I doubt even the Mariners are immune from this. If Wellington turn up like they did against Newcastle earlier in the season and the Mariners have suffered from the trip there could be an upset. It's just not that likely a scenario. Mariners to continue their march to the minor premiership.Prediction: 2-0 Victory.

Just at Club Tuggerah to watch the match & they've made a real effort to attract Mariners fans.

Special area with lounges, big screen & drink service - very cool!

Been told that this area will always show football (well she did call it soccer but they're trying :))
