Melbourne Heart squad:

1.Clint Bolton (GK), 2.Michael Marrone, 3.Brendan Hamill, 4.Simon Colosimo, 5.Fred ©, 7.Rutger Worm, 8.Kristian Sarkies, 9.Maycon, 10.Wayne Srhoj, 11.Alex Terra, 13.Jonatan Germano, 15.David Williams, 18.Curtis Good, 19.Eli Babalj, 26.Paul Reid, 27.Craig Goodwin, 30.Sebastian Mattei (GK)

*two to be omitted*

My take:

----------------------------------------------------------------Eli Babalj----------------------------------------------------------------

Alex Terra-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------David Williams

---------------------------------------Fred ©----------------------------------------Jonathan Germano--------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------Wayne Shroj--------------------------------------------------------------

Craig Goodwin--------------------------Curtis Good-------------Simon Colosimo--------------------------Michael Marrone

------------------------------------------------------------Clint Bolton----------------------------------------------------------------

Subs -

Sebastian Mattei (GK)

Brendan Hamill

Rutger Worm

Kristian Sarkies

Omitted - Maycon & Paul Reid

Sounds perfect to me, but would defninantly have Reid over Sarkies.

Although I don't mind Sarkies, would go with Reid for this game.

Omit Babalj? Does anyone remember what happened at the start of the Season when we played Either Terra or Maycon as "Target Man" - no way we can omit babalj-

yes he has been out of form recently but hes supply really hasnt been good enough either. He Hasnt scored in over a month but as a team we have only scored like 4 times in the since he last scored anyway .. All strikers go through bad patches and we dont want to shatter his confidence as hes only 19 or something? keep him in and the goals will come imo

Must win game for us if we want any chance of a home final this year. Lose and we could be equal on points with Sydney by the end of the day and a spot in the finals would be looking very shaky.

If Fred is fit enough to play well, we will win.

Fred won't play tomorrow. Seems like they're being very cautious, which is understandable. We need to make sure he's out there for the run into finals. Still, it would've been nice to have him on the bench to come on for the last 30 minutes. But we can win without him anyway.

After the result tonight, the task ahead of us is pretty clear. The three teams immediately below us are within touching distance. We need results from now on.

Funny league this. Doesn't really matter where you are at the half-way point. If you have a good second half of the season, you'll probably make the finals.

This is another point to note about strategies and tactics for the future - manage your squad better, especially returns from injury. Don't bring back players too quickly as you're going to need them fit at the business end of the season.

The message is clear from van't schip, we DON'T want to win this game. A lot of people here are talking about saving fred for finals or end of the season ext, What guarentee has this team got that we'll make finals? A loss tommrow against newcastle and they jump above us and than we are truely fucked. This is just another fucking BS excuse from van't schip just so he can play a reid or a sarkies, some HACK who has proved throughout this stretch of inconsistency that he cannot play. And than Van't schip has the nerve the call up MAYCON?! the guy who has had AMPLE opportunity all season to prove himself and keeps proving time and time again he is shit? Eli is still playing well, he just has to stop trying to do too much, he thinks hes messi FFS. We don't win tommorow, kick van't schip out before he can fuck up our final chances anymore.

Irrational post.

We rushed Fred too early last time and paid for it. If he plays 30 mins in the youth team then starts against GCU, that is great, and he should be fine for the season.

Maycon is only back-up if Sarkies doesn't come up. The team played very well last week without scoring a goal. I'm confident and hopeful they can score this time, they know how much rides on getting a result.

Geez, it's starting to look tough. I was fairly confident 24 hours ago. But now missing three experienced creative midfielders - Fred, Thompson, and Sarkies. Will be a good win if we can do it.

Need good performances from players like Germano, Terra, Worm, and Reid. And Babalj needs to finish when he gets the opportunity.

NEWS:

Sarkies out of the side, Maycon will replace him in the squad. So Reid is sure to be starting you would suspect.

'A light knock in training' wasn't it? I sometimes wonder about our injury management. Seven games left and we need about 12 points to qualify for finals.

By my calculations we need 11pts to book finals and 17 to book a home final (2nd or 3rd).

Todays line up:

Bolton

Marrone, Colosimo, Good, Goodwin

Srhoj ---------- Reid

Germano

Terra --------- Babalj------------ Worm

Bench: Mattie, Hamill, Williams, Maycon

Hopefully the latter is an unused sub. So fucking glad Reid is starting!
