Victory vs Mariners

[krusty]

Ok guys lets forget about last nights game and concentrate on next week. Just watched Victory play and i should hope we can beat them. If we are serious about winning the title this year we should smash victory on friday night. How many fans are going down to melbourne myself and the father in-law will be there lets get a good crowd there to cheer our great team onwards to victory over the mexicans.

Hey Krusty,

Five of us going to the game with a few that haven't been to an away game before. I'll rev them up and have them ready to sing verhead:

We're also off to watch Black Caviar race at Caulfield the next day too - woot, then a very sick & sorry trip back on Sunday...

Can't see Duke getting a run but it would be nice; i think Kwas is lucky he has another year on his contract otherwise Arnie might have trialled Chris Payne...
I expect Hutch back, on the left, with Pellegrino to be on the bench - Kwas/ Hearfield to miss out.

Very glad Victory midfield isn't in the Roar class. If it was I suspect Archie, Harry & Fat Boy would rip us a new one on our Saturday defensive performance (1st half at least).
They will also be strengthened by Brebner being suspended lol.
Bit worried about this one, Victory are due a good game, hopefully we're not at the start of a Roar-like slide.
No matter, Krusty & I will be there yelling our heads off; going to be fun to be there with the Army. The atmosphere is going to be brilliant, as long as we don't get that knob of a ref again.

Arnie was the 1 who gave Kwas a 2 year deal, Chris Payne is garbage! Arnie was given the option to get Payne but doesn't want him!

Personally I think Pellegrino will miss out

After Kwas' first touch and goal against Adelaide I'm glad he's hanging around for another. Hes a game changer. Pellegrino should miss out with Hutch back but the I wouldn't be dissapointed if it was Rogic

[Marquee]

Duke!

I knew Hearfield had an injury but Pedj? Big loss.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Yes, interestring.

 

[dibo]

Given that's the first I've heard of him having an issue, is it maybe a contract negotiation knee? The sort of knee injury that magically clears up when you get offered a two year deal?

 

[Ravana]

Well, once new owners come in I see a new contract coming

he's been grabbling the hammie for weeks

 

[Roy Law]

No

Give Mitchell Duke a run off the bench

Somebody is closer to the action than I am

 

[bikinigirl]

. who is this duke kid ... never heard of 'im

. bet he only got a contract because he is striker called dukes bring it on - should we look forward to the two kids alternating alongside the new big man up front

. pedj ... interesting

. any of you learned peoples care to suggest a line-up?

Mario was right all along!

I'd say -

------------Pasfield
Sainsbury - Wilko - Pat - Rose
-------------------Griff
---Weemac------------Hutch
-----------------McBreen
---Bernie--------------Kwas
