We’re back baby!
Given the completely nonsense fixturing I’ve had to cut this first round off somewhere so just the first four games in this thread:
28/12 - Western United vs Adelaide
29/12 - Brisbane vs City
30/12 - Wests vs Macarthur (derby name pending)
31/12 - CCM vs Jets
The entire 2020 component of the 2020-21 season!
They are both in western Sydney derby
The Bogan Bash
South Western Sydney vs East Western Sydney.
There is a round one?
Draw
City
Macarthur in “The Defector Derby”
CCM
If a round happens and Sydney has not played, has the round really happened?
More excited for this r1 than I have been for a few years. Not sure why.
WU
City
Macarthur
Jets
That’s got to be the name!
My predictions for these games:
WU 3-2 Adelaide
Brisbane 1-2 City
Western Suburbs 2-2 Macarthur
CCM 1-2 Jets
The Jets will probably be the upset of these first four games, but I do think that the players who actually want to be there will have a point to prove, maybe even coming from behind to win the F3 Derby.
Surely a win for WU tonight against Adelaide. Will be interesting to see the crowd they pull for their second campaign opener. Their first home game last year attracted 6k people
I will be amazed if they get over 5k. 3-4k is more realistic on a Monday night.
Just FYI everyone, Fox has a half hour mini match version of the Grand Final on at 6pm to really get you in the mood.
1-1
1-2
0-2
2-2
Good to see that Archie’s English hasn’t improved.
Fox hurts after a few months on Optus.
Only 5 minutes in and I already really like the look of this Dukuly on Adelaide’s right wing.
9 minutes and 30 seconds before a Sanchez played under Guardiola comment from Speed.
Impressed by his restraint to be honest.
I do think Speed has improved as a commentator (isn’t saying much as he started from a low baseline). In years gone by he had no idea on any players earlier careers etc…
