Deluka Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 With just under 2 months until the season starts, thought I'd start a thread to keep track of any preseason matches prior to the season. Understandably there haven't been any matches announced, but hopefully we'll see something in the next couple of weeks out of the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughJass Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Going to be interesting how they wills cheudle matches as NPL Vic teams still don't have a return date just yet/will be early preseason if so, with the border opening with NSW might be able to get some games in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Anyone know anything more about this? City players Tom Glover, Nathaniel Atkinson, Aiden O'Neill and Connor Metcalfe played for the Olyroos team that played Sydney last night and lost 0-3.

Seems more makeshift to me, with several midfield players not available to start yet. This time around Griffith played CB, Berenguer didn’t play and then there’s the Olyroos with Metcalf.

The off-season has seen the departures of Brillante, Delbridge, Wales, Genreau, Ianucci, Najjarine (loan) and Najjar (loan), to be replaced by Garuccio, O'Neill, Gomulka,Tilio and Nabbout. I'm not sure we've got this "depth" that people are going on about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not particularly imo. The other AL clubs will have played 4 or 5 friendlies between themselves by the time the season rolls around, and without the negative side effects of quarantines and playing in Qatar. IMO it will even out a bit in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
