fensaddler Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 OK, time to get back to earth. We've had a fabulous Derby win, and a run of three good wins, but this one will in many ways be the biggest test. A side stacked with talent and going well, we can't afford not to turn up, to play one good half and one mediocre one, or to believe in our own publicity. If we want to do something this season, we need to take out the contenders, and this is a real six pointer. A win for us will damage Macarthur's push, but the opposite will push us right back into the pack and undo our good work. It would also erode the belief in the team which is hard won and only just returning. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where we're at is that we're the best side in the league when we're on, but too often this season we've been well off. We're capable of being woeful. As so often, it is which version of City turns up on Friday night. Edited March 8, 2021 by fensaddler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neio Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 I think Macarthur are really gettable, they are really susceptible to a fast break, cause they have Benat playing pretty much as their 6 and he gets up in attack. Western tore them apart with Diamanti, Iker and Pierias. If we hold up defensively I think we have too much going forward for them, especially if we can get Maclaren and Nabbout one in one with Milligan (he has been a brilliant player but he has lost pace and can't turn and go like he used to) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 High hopes. No doubt our boys will be on cloud 9 after destroying our cross town rivals, where as the Bull Artists will be down after struggling to lay a glove on CC. Having said that it’ll start at 0-0 and we’ll need to bring our A game against a talented side. So. I think we can win this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony999 Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Not sure if this has been raised, but the tickets available for this Friday's home game and the other two subsequent home games, Ticketek is charging $5.95 for "delivery" (sent to your mobile). Why all of sudden there is a charge?? Never had to pay this "delivery" fee all season when claiming tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another cheap money grab from ticketek hoping you won't realise or bother doing anything about it. Maybe I'm getting too old now but have really noticed the greed in some of these companies since covid. Everyone is out to stooge everyone and the consumer will always be the one who gets shafted.

Similarly, when I booked tickets earlier in the season I saw the charge being applied part way through and tried to work out how to delete it, but at the end of the process the statement showed a discount which balanced out the charge.

jw1739 Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Take it easy on the club boys. My information is that the clubs were not consulted when the DHHS handed down what had to be done at AAMI Park (and other outdoor venues) and it's been an absolute nightmare for them to get even to where they are with tickets. The club is paying the handling fee, meaning that on cheaper memberships they are actually paying for members to attend matches. If you've paid a handling fee it will be refunded in due course.

Tony999 Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 FYI - appears that the $5.95 fee is still up there for certain memberships. So, the way around it is to select the second $5.95 option Mobile Delivery Ticket and when you proceed to checkout, the fee changes to $0.00. Worked for me.

Harrison Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Nabbout out for me, couldn’t even score on the weekend. Maclaren scored one but got too much of the ball and was way too involved in build up. Strikers are only supposed to score goals Jamie, you muppet. Drop Berenguer, Metcalfe and Griffiths for scoring goals from midfield. Don’t they know that that puts our defence in a really vulnerable position? I’m almost tempted to bin Reis and Good and Glover for conceding 7 shots. They were so lucky none were on target. They were basically invisible all game too. Atkinson and Jamieson are on thin ice; zero successful crosses and neither of them able to hit 100 per cent passing accuracy. Pathetic. If I hadn’t already dropped Berenguer and Griffiths for putting their own glory in front of the team’s then I’d probably be calming them down after their stupid and selfish yellow cards. Do they want to get sent off? Fucking hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
