Joel21 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Ive played for a few clubs who've had better shit than heart and they were state 3, provi 1 and 2. Never carried a goal in my life and ice baths were prepared upon request. Doubt becks would want to be apart of the "team building" at heart.

Ando Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 We have pretty good facilities down at Monash HC, I just wish our college/university sports were as well supported here as in the US. Our ice baths are better than Heart's too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaliMate Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Went to training today. Only stayed for about fourty minutes but by the looks of things our Starting XI for the derby will be: --------------------Tadic-------------------- Williams---------Fred ©---------Garcia --------Thompson-----Germano-------- Behich--Colosimo-Gerhardt--Marrone -------------------Bolton------------------- EDIT - Not sure who will be more defensive minded out of Thompson & Germano. Seemed to be taking it in turns so I'm guessing they'll both sort of 'hold'. Didn't see Kalmar there so not sure if he'll be on the bench this weekend. Although he could have been there, I just didn't spot him as there was about 30+ players at training today. Guessing the bench will be D-Mac, Golgol, Redders & Vrankovic/Hoffman.

Jimmy Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Garcia at right wing is very appealing. If we do end up lining up like that I can see us getting the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sash Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 We have pretty good facilities down at Monash HC, I just wish our college/university sports were as well supported here as in the US. Our ice baths are better than Heart's too. I think La Trobe has pretty good facilities such as gym and pools etc (maybe not ice baths), but because it's such a big campus, the fields where they train are pretty remote. Out there, it's very basic club rooms and nothing else. So if they want ice baths immediately after training, it's in the bin. But at other times, I'm pretty sure they use the University's other facilities, which are probably decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart of Melbourne Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Big risk playing germano. Is he match fit? I don't think so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kontra.11 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Germano on one leg is better than Hoffman. We need players who can keep the ball and distribute acurately for this game and Hoffman would probably be more effective at starting Victory attacks than our own ones. Same for Thompson really judging from his recent form so hopefully he lifts.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadete Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I really hope Germano starts and lives up to the hype that has been created in his absence on this forum...

Defibrillator Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 To be fair we must start Germano. Our midfield has been slaughtered in the last three weeks, even in the win over Perth. Looking back on the season so far it's amazing we've not shipped far more goals than we have. The stats for how long the ball has been in our forward half has been ordinary for a while. Our defence has been under enormous pressure due to basically conceding the midfield. Fred needs to step up now, and Germano will provide more surety on the ball and reliable passing. It's worth a punt on his fitness and if we can get his quality for half a game it will help stem the tide. A full game with our regular DMs given we're coming up against a possession based team really concerns me. Tadic can star if he gets quality service.

Sash Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 From what I've seen, Victory's main avenue of attack is Rojas and Thompson/Nabbout on the wings. While one breaks out wide, the other will cut in for the cross - like the goal they scored against us in round 1. Flores seems to play as a false 9, moving up and basically giving them an extra player in the midfield. So I think the defensive work of Marrone and Behich might be one of the most important things we need to look for. The young Brisbane player, Hingert did a great job last week minding Rojas, and really helped to keep them in the game. I'm not sure how we're going to get control of the midfield if they're using Milligan, Celeski?, Finkler, and then Flores working in there as well. But if we can get enough balls into the box, I suppose we're always a chance to score given their defence is their real weakness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Until I die Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 This has happned to me before and am not sure the case, do I have the right to stand in front of a seat and not let others crowd into my space in front of that seat.

HeartFc Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Not sure we can pull this one off. Rojas, Thompson, Nabbout, Flores.. theres some speed and skill there.. and we have simmers trying to stop em.. hope he gets a red and we play with 10. Probably have a better chance. If Victory dont win this one and they look like the dumbest knts. Btw does anyone know if we've gone into a game favorites in the history of the melb derby...?? I dont think we have...

The thing is, even though there haven't been many votes, we were neck and neck with Victory a bit earlier. But I've noticed a sudden surge in support for them, so it looks like they're getting organised.
