Round 8 - Adelaide vs Sydney FC - 20/12/24

Adelaide have the best attacking record in the league and we are equal third worst defensive record. This is not going to go well.

2

I’m tipping a boring nil all draw

Adelaide 18
Sydney 6

Unironically Adelaide to win 6-1. It’s hard to imagine a way we will beat them. Maybe if they get an early red card or two, but that’s more likely to be us too.

Good luck to any travellers who purchase a daily double for first try scorers.

Yeah, Adelaide are low key good. All the hype has been about Auckland but the pissants are also undefeated and a measly 2 points off top, that’s remarkable as I reckon Veart would’ve been under pressure towards the end of last season.

There will be peaches and baguettes.

Oh jesus, do we have to go through this again already?

^^ as an aside that reminded me to sort tickets for Melby away. The wedge is filling up so anyone here heading down for 24 Jan should get on it.

Adelaide don’t really play defensive counter attacking football. It will probably suit Sydney more. I think this will be an easy win, I think it will be a 7-3 win

Imagine if Irankunda was still there, we would have added a million to his price in one game

11

or he’d have had a tantrum at only scoring two and been sent off

12

Disappointment immediately before Christmas?

Oh boy.

13

We were predicting similar peach baguetting for this same fixture last year and then pulled their pants down 5-1. Predicting same score line for us this year.

I am not a crackpot.

We’re going to make the 6 and then turn up for finals and win the damn thing.

Getting sick of it. :smile:

Irankunda was 50% chance of catching fire in a game and 50% chance of having a stinker and being a distraction. Adelaide did great to make the money they did on Irankunda but now they’ve built a more balanced squad, which has been badly needed the last few seasons.

Klimala out for at least 1 week.

Talay mentioned Joel king coming in to play, not sure if that means JCP is out as well

Joel King is probably replacing Klimala up front.

Probably won’t get caught offside as much.
