Our line-up depends on whether or not we sign these Jamacians, and what their positions are, etc.
Kwasnik is better on the wing then in a striker position. (or maybe we could play him in behind the strikers)
No idea how Laurie will pick the team, alot of 'good' headaches to have I spose.

Holy crap.....didn't realise how close the season was.
16-0 to Melbourne. All 16 goals to come from corners, all from whichever player Hutcho is supposed to be marking, and all goals to go straight to an open back post.
I mean, yes, I'm totally pumped about this season

Thanks for saving me time heyzeus!
Thats my line up, excepting I think it's possible we could see a 4 2 3 1 instead of the Lawrie's favoured 442. Happy to be wrong as I generally love a more attacking formation and a a win would be outstanding... but even a point against the tards at the home would be a great opener.
That said I think we can get a win. We are a better squad than last year now I believe (whereas they are the same) and excluding that 70th minute collapse, for mine we looked like one of the few teams who potentially could do MV last season...
Mariners 1 zip in an absolute nail biter.
As to the Hutch bashers, does it ever get old? Personally a week out from opening the season I don't want to see any of our players getting ragged on. and can we please not turn into Bling fc?
How about we try showing a little solidarity and manning up for our club. Hutch has done a lot more good than ill for this side over the years and at the very least deserves a bit of respect. That said, its tiring that people just can't understand his job. Whose your hold up man going to be? Caceres? Elrich? Travis? Porter? Hutch has a role, you may not like it, but he does it well and the team needs it. He's also had a very strong pre season so why people want to see him dropped on previous form is beyond me. And it's not like he's a triallist whose never performed over a season for us before? He's been one of our biggest contributors over the years, and now it looks like he's in form. Or hey, we can just stick with the Lawrie whose actual job could end up on the line, is just playing favourites routine. To what end? So Hutch will still invite him to his B'day parties? Re assess pickle heads.

Danny
Boogs Wilko Doig Heff
Elrich Travis McClinchey Caceras
Simon Macca
Bench: Porter, Mrdja, Redders, Bojic, Kwas or Hutch.
For me thats our strongest team but we won't line up like that apart from the back 4.
I won't bang on about Hutcho and if he does play DM then I hope he plays well, proves us wrong and cements the position due to strong performance not due to unbalanced squad.

DMAC will not play according to this-
CENTRAL Coast won't gamble with Dylan Macallister for the A-League pipe-opener against champions Melbourne Victory next week despite scans clearing the big striker of another trip to the operating theatre.
Macallister required shoulder surgery after the ill-fated Asian Champions League campaign and it was feared he might have needed a cartilage operation following the team's final hit-out against Wellington in Dubbo.
"The scans are OK. Dylan can resume training on Monday but there's really no need to risk him next week," Mariners coach Lawrie McKinna said yesterday.
"The other three guys (Matt Simon, Nik Mrdja and Adam Kwasnik) are all fit."
Despite finishing with a string of poor results last season and not winning a game in the ACL, McKinna expects better things of the Mariners.
"Last season is in the past," he said. "We've had a good pre-season, not losing in seven games.
"We can approach the new season with confidence.
"Sure it's a tough one first up against Melbourne (next Thursday at Etihad Stadium) but the new players give us something different."
McKinna said defender Chris Doig had a real presence about him and was a very good communicator.
"Nicky Travis and Michael McGlinchey provide us with more options in attack from midfield," he said.
"We are just hoping we get Nicky's visa finalised in time."

I am sure that elrich and caceres will not start..... They are the last people to be picked for our starting 11 at the moment for me.... They both bring something to the team but are no means starting 11 with the squad we have.
So I guess If Macca dosn't play/start it will be interesting to see who starts up with kwas.
Is Matty ready to start an A-League game???
Is Nik ready to start an A-Laegue game???
Does Travis or Son of Mac get a run up front??
Does Caceras start up front??
Or do we change to lone striker (kwas) for this round??
I'm don't kniow where to put my money TBH

Based on how they've been training I'd expect
----------------Danny
Boogs------Doig-----Wilko------Heff
Porter-----Pedj----McGlinchey---Hutch
-----------Simon----Kwas
Bench - Redders, Mrdja, Caceres, Elrich, Travis, Clark - Any of these depending on what Lawrie wants

So we are agreed that the scapegoat oder for this season is:
1) Hutch
2) Kwas
1) Hutch
2) Kwas

Boogs will struggle at right back for speed against Melbourne and I'm sure that Porter will be asked to do a lot of defence to back him up.
I haven't seen preseason. However, if Travis is available (Visa) I wouldn't be surpised to see Porter drop back to RB and Travis come in at RM.
Apart from that I think it is spot on.
