Get around it fellas, let's sell out our whole end for this- with the Tards dead last, there has never been a derby I've been more confident of winning (I'm aware a lot can change between now and then but off what we've seen so far we should be confident)!

Ticket sales looking good, Victory have already sold half their end and a lot of the unreserved bays are selling quick. Big chance to smash them on and off the pitch in this one.

Crowley has to start, if we don't play him next week I can't see what the point was in giving him a senior contract

                          Bouzanis

Malik, Schenkeveld, LaRocca, Jamieson

                   Jakobsen, Brattan

                             Mauk

Arzani.               Crowley.            Fitzgerald

Galekovic, Tongyik, Kilkenny, Budzinski Kamau/Atkinson

if you think having the piss wreck malik at right back is a 'good cgoice', you have lost it. give atkinson the start in the derby, i am more than sure he will show up whoever he marks and will destroy victory's left back cos they have shit all in terms of full backs

We should play Shenkers there IMO, Jako moves to CB

Can active organise something with Victory active (don't hate just yet) to protest or portray a message about getting the VAR out of football. Has already ruined a 2nd game this weekend and more then likely will have an effect on the derby.

I'd love to see something like this league wide

Petitions won't do shit (although I've signed this one ha). Something that will effect the Fox broadcast will though

The problem isn't the VAR, it's that the bind mice operating the VAR are also drawn from the same pool as the blind mice officiating the game

I suspect the point is moot.  We're not likely to see change to poor officiating, so VAR simply adds to the general level of FFA induced cockwombleness which presently infests the game. Arguably with better officials, much of the reason for VAR should disappear anyway.

Line up going to be very interesting for this one. I wonder what tricks Wazza will have up his sleeve?

For mine tards have too much wing pace to play Malik at RB. Atkinson must be in with a real chance, but other than that he could put Jako in the back 4 and do some of shuffle I guess.

At the other end I’m assuming that Ross can’t go from “out for the season” to “playing next Saturday” so some sort of shuffle required.  Not clear if Brucey will be available either.

All and all it’s looking like a quite different line up, so we’ll see Wazza does with it.
