Likely squad:

GK: Roganovic, Dunn, Maynard

Def: Konstantanidis, Groenwald, J. Walker, Treloar,

Mid: Patterson, Blumgart, Ibrahim, Petreski, Liolios,

Fwd: Bosnjak, Andrijasevic, Z.Walker,

I think the youths will be roughly, as above.

As for the seniors:

Ibrahim, Kalmar, Zahra, Taseski, Maycon? Sarkies? Hoffman? Reid? Williams?

We have also been told to expect a couple of surprises...

Skoko is in, but Sibon is not- anyone else? Aloisi player manager? :lol: :lol:

Official squad is up tomorrow.

Interesting to see that no senior players were selected, Its probably for the best, but I would have liked to see at least Zahra and maybe Taseski in there. Especially due to the lack of wingers.

(IMO) Strongest XI:

Janjetovic

J.Walker --- Konstantinidis --- Gray --- Grossman

Skoko --- J. Trifiro

G.Trifiro

Groenewald/Bosnjak/Paterson/Andrijasevic/Walker/Lagana*

*Close your eyes and take a pick, its that close.

Dunn, Treloar, Liolios, Petreski, Peluso, Blumgart.

A few minutes in apparently. Its like this match is being played in a bunker underground, but I guess If ESPN suddenly dropped it that might explain the difficulty finding it on the web. Anyone having any luck?
