Harrison Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Time to focus on our next match. Metcalfe, Glover, Najjarine and Genreau are unavailable so there will be a few changes. Bouzanis returns, unfortunately Jamieson will come back in but maybe Atkinson can move up to the wing and Cabrera shift over to the other side for Noone. Can Windbichler make a surprise return? The midfield will either be Luna or Berenguer next to Griffiths and Brillante. WU are ripe for the picking with so many injuries to their defence.

Imtellingyou Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 This is within our range. Win and 6K City attendance. It's hard to predict number of WU fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they keep changing the starting time. It's hard enough to go to start with without missing part of the game. Oh, commercial imperatives.

neio Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I have absolutely no confidence in this game as Western will sit back, they won with 28% possession against brisbane. And they were full strength. Now with all their injuries, they will hit on the break and make us break them down. Which I'm not sure we have the ability to do, if we score early we win, but the lo ger it stays nil all, all I can see is a Berisha 90th minute winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it from me, they have no defence. That doesn't mean we won't stuff it up, but it won't be because WU can park the bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red or Dead Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 City to win 3-1. Berisha to score for them. Oakleigh will be dead coz everyone will be at AAMI Park watching Panagiotis Kone (if he plays)! There's no BBL on so this will be the biggest non-victard-derby crowd since Del Piero came to town! Then again, it will be hot and too far for WU fans to travel from Geelong/Ballarat so might just crack 8k crowd! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Even says in the Team News article that Bouzanis is starting. Cabrera is in doubt for this so Atkinson might play RW to allow for Jamieson’s return. Wales the other good/only option.

Shahanga Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Coming into this we have won 1 game in 4. We need to find a way to get the 3 points regardless of anything else. I’m expecting we’ll rise to that challenge, even without the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted January 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Given what Mombaerts said yesterday, Griffiths might only make the bench because of the knock he copped against Sydney. Hopefully we’re in a position where we can see kids like Abdulahi get a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty thick down in Geelong, so if it's the same in the city, I can see this being called off for the sake of both players and spectators. Nothing to see here, says the government...
