Buhagiar to do a half with each team?
That will be a decent game. Very keen to see. Trent demolishing Wilko would be hilarious.
Tickets bought. Trifling offer of 201 to the great God of Pax.
Interesting to see the result for this actually
Anyone know about a trial game versus the Mariners in which you won 5-2?
The senior team played against Dunbar on Saturday, not sure when this Mariners game was, maybe it was the youth team ?
Thought the youth played Fuck Dunbar?
I think the seniors played Dunbar last week and the youth this week?
Maybe the Mariners wore Dunbar kits and no one noticed
Maybe Dunbar have used thier financial might to purchase the Mariners licence. Yet another derby to please fox Sports.
THB, Ivanovic and King were all called up to the Olyroos for this game.
I assume Trent wasnāt because Arnie knows all about him already, and he hasnāt had much time with Luke?
Its better for Trent to be with us and show Bimbi what he can do. Arnie has used him loads before.
Yeah presumably, that and exposing young players to a national team set up is probably not a bad thing.
Looks like FFA will be streaming the games on Kayo, My Football and Facebook with Simon Hill commentary:
If thatās the case, thatās much better than I expected. I didnāt expect a stream for this friendly game.
Looking forward to the game tonight, canāt believe Iām going to a football game
Great opportunity to see both Buhagiar and Ivanovic on the pitch at the same time (albiet for difference sides). Also keen to see how the Olyroos are doing, and will good to see Arnieās mug on the sideline. Arnie v Corica is a good sub plot too.
So with no King, Ivanovic, THB or McGowan I am assuming weād still start full strength baring those something:
Redmayne
Grant Wilko Warland Zullo
Brattan Retre
ABJ Ninko
Buhagier Barbarouses
Second half maybe something like
Pavlesic
VVS Mliranic Flottman Zullo
Niewenhoff Zuvela
Caceres ???
Wood Swibel
Trying to use most of the acl squad.
Iām looking forward to seeing more of Nieuwenhof. From the bits Iāve seen of him in NPL, I really think heād suit any pressing tactics we might use. He seems really adept at winning the ball in midfield and quickly setting up a counter. Whether he can make the step up technically to A-League level is another question, but if he has a good pre-season, I would certainly be in favour of him getting minutes for the senior team in the new league season.
Wood looks like a real goer as well. I look forward to seeing him develop over the next 12 months or so.
