mmm, four strikers in that squad

will alex go for three up front?

the youth team's real issue at the moment is dominance in the middle of the park

the players (mitchell, braude, trifiro) are extremely skilfull and mobile but do not impose themselves physically enough

all are similar players

 

[FFC Mariner]

Danny
Owens
Mrdja (yeah right)
Stringers


and free entry.

 

[Razorback]

Thats an interesting squad especially taking into account the over age players.

I'm very impressed if Macca put his hand up to play in this match and was not asked, shows great a work ethic and I feel a genuine repect for the competition and the club. Also the return of Vukovic is exciting.

The omissions are just as interesting... Where is Dapuzzo? Being under age why is he not there? If he is injured, he was fit enough to be dancing a Largo till 2 in the morning last night. No Greg Owens either, are we to assume he is due back next round against Wellington and has he hit a snag on his road to recovery.

Should be a good game... but i'll be playing cricket

Owens

. ty

. or just a sign that he knows he has his work cut out getting a first team starting spot atm

 

[Yellowbeard]

Surely with Macca and the small possiblity of Mrdja playing we can score some goals this week

 

[Bear]

Apparantly its 1-1, and Dapuzzo scored, but his names was not on the list, so yeah

 

[goingtoadisco]

my wild guess is that mrdja pulled out. stringers played up front and dapuzo filled the back line.

 

[Bear]

2-1 us, big Dylan Mac

 

[FFC Mariner]

Mrdja played - looks horribly unfit, lasted about 70 mins
Dylan played and scored the winner in what was a pretty ordinary game.

 

[pjennings]

Danny looked very short of a run. Defence was okay - though under pressure for a lot of the first half. Dyl and Nik played okay.

The main problem seemed to be a mssing midfield.

 

[bikinigirl]

. good to see the boys get a win today, it might lift them a bit

. that new 'keeper we had could have a future ... needs to work on his kicking a bit though

. and how was that yellow that dylan copped, what was the ref thinking?

. also good to see some of the 'big boys' there to watch the game and show support for the youngens

route one football would alleviate that problem

Brady Smith in CM didnt really work that well but I have now seen 2 of their games and believe that the club isnt too bothered by results. I suspect its all about nursing the injured seniors back and "growing" the next generation.

I reckon there are 2 or 3 who could easily be in the HAL in a year or 2 and whilst winning any game is nice, the development side is more important

stringers was trying to go route one with very little success

was fortunate that my cricket game finished early and i was able to grab the second half

dylan's yellow was a complete joke

did anyone else notice how completely brilliant danny's save was from a header that was ajudged offside?

ball seems behind him, big paw comes out - DENIED!

great to see he's looking sharp.
