silva10 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Looking forward to the game Saturday...Let's hope JVS doesn't bottle his team selection for this one! Same team as last time except Williams starting in replace of Duff and Brown playing on the right....think that suited him better than when I have seen him playing on the left. The substitutes will be interesting. Would go for Redmayne, Koren (if fit), Mauk, Ramsay, Marino If a centre half gets injured then you can move Paartalu or Hoffman there....so please no Wielhart on the bench!

sheepdog Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Are we marching all the way to the ground or train as usual?Marching all the way with our scarves above our heads the WHOLE way.

Wieleart did score in the last derby. I am not sure about Koren - Germano was rushed back (although I do think that he will never play again) and lasted less than 23 minutes. Otherwise I agree.

Shahanga Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I don't think Germano can be used as a case study in poor management leading to injury, the guy probably would have got injured walking from his car to training. Just a heads up for Silva etc, you probably guessed it but outside of finals the Christmas derby is easily our biggest game of the season. Crucial we Perform well.

ragga92 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Can't see us getting close in this game. If we lost to Wellington 5-1 then we should lose this at least 4-0 and that is my tip unfortunately. Hopefully I am wrong and we get a result. I don't know what I will do if we beat them.

Parrot Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 How many of our players in the squad for the Victory game would get a starting 11 position with Victory? Aaron Mooy and Robert Koren are our best chances. Possibly Erik Paartalu, but not on recent form. An outside possible is Connor Chapman. That tells it all - unfortunately we're outclassed.

Popular Post GreenSeater Posted December 18, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Koren will start. We'll stand around awkwardly in the terrace due to no tifo and the fact that we are surrounded by riot police and SWAT officers. The game will kick off and Koren will recieve the first pass of the game. As he goes to pass it his calf muscle will literally fall off of the bone. Career over. JVS panics and sends Weilaert on as a midfielder because he thinks he'll be good there. Within 10 minutes of the game starting Besart Berisha will have scored 2 goals and recieved a red card for kicking Tando's head in. Redmayne will come on to replace Tando's bloodied corpse. As he runs onto the field he trips in a divot and claps furiously in the direction of the groundstaff. Half time arrives with the score Victory 3-0 City. During the half-time break the camera aims at Jesus Kennedy in the crowd, the entire Melburnians terrace errupts in applause. As he stands up to aknowledge the support, he tweaks his back again and ends up as crippled as Michael Clarke. In the second half Jacob Melling completely turns it around, scoring 5 goals! Incredible scenes as City now lead 5-3 with only 34 seconds to go. The celebration starts early around the stadium. Then Archie Thompson scores a hattrick and we lose 6-5. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Until I die Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Earlier this week, I received some terrible news. Over the past four seasons, I have attended heart/city games with a very close friend of mine. From humble beginnings in season two, we have certainly had some great times- a highlight being our 2-1 win in aloisi's first game. This week, despite having a city membership and being one of the main reasons, I ended up continuing with city- he informed me that he has changed his allegiance to Victory. Currently overseas, I believe the decision is largely due to peer pressure etc. but my sob story aside- this game now has a lot of meaning to me. Perhaps the ultimate opportunity to one up a traitor. If city win, There will sure be a lot of people to finally claim bragging rights for. But I feel as always that this means so much more to our fans than the players. It is like they do not even care. Hope they prove me wrong. Score prediction 0-0 with melburnians spurring on a MOTM tando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally it'd be weird if fans didn't are about a derby more than the players but you're right, they just treat it as "another game" and it often shows in our performances.

Attack11 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Sounds like a lot of people here are wanting Victory to win..??? I agree that they have a solid squad of players but so do we... if JVS starts demanding more from his players and stops accepting the rubbish that some players (willo, Weilart, Kisnorbo, and Hoffman,)have been dishing out we will be more than competitive... on paper our team should be top 4..keep in mind we are the only side to date, to play without and Aussie Marquee and International Marquee. all other teams have there marquee players playing and performing...all this talk that Victory are superior to us is Fucken Rubbish... just wait until their good fortune changes then will see!!! don't forget they received 3 own-goals in 2 weeks, a captain that should have been sent off last week. (if he did, Victory lose that game)and for the majority of the season both marquees have been playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strider Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 ^ we don't have the depth to be a top 4 side and probably won't have the quality we need for another 2 season (pretty much until most Heart failures fuck off). Three quarters of our squad wouldn't make bench for any of the current top 4 teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 The only difference last week's win made is that Victory are paying over $2. Legit going to put at least $200 on them. JVS keeps paying my bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I can play after a few beers. Good luck. If you play well enough they might give you a contract. Remember to mention you're a midfielder who's never played at left back in your life...oh, and that you have chronic hamstring problems.
