jw1739 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Has anyone managed to find out what time we play against Newcastle today?It's part of Newcastle's six-day training camp here in Melbourne. I don't think the match has any real significance at all, because both clubs will treat it more of a training exercise than the "real thing." The last thing any one needs at this stage is injuries to their players. So for once I don't see this as a pointer to what will happen in the season at all. However, I'd be interested to know who actually gets on the field for us in terms of recovery from injury etc. Particularly Novillo and Hughes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Does not bode well.Hold on a bit...we don't know who actually took the field for either side. With two matches coming up vs. Adelaide and Wellington I'd have been surprised if we fielded a full side and went at it hammer and tongs.

Ray Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Score was 1-1 and we played a fair number of youth team and spread the minutes around for the senior team members. Very much a training run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's two losses to Adelaide in two matches. Also seems we're trying to play the off-side trap too often, leaving us wide open to a pacy side such as Adelaide. It might work against the likes of Oakleigh and North Geelong - and it did, but will bring us undone against better sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cityamatic Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 The thing that slightly concerns me about this is that Adelaide were referred to as 'clinical'. For the last couple of years the reds have been notorious for not putting shots away, so it may be that they've sorted this part of their game out a bit, or (more concerningly) our defence is still a bit questionable.But then again, it's a practice match and I've got no idea what the squads were so probably means sweet FA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red or Dead Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 What's more concerning is that it was 3-0 by the 58th minute (Jeggo 16', Carrusca 21', Cirio 58'). Dekker's goal came in the 90th... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekker's goal came in the 90th...i really dont think these behind closed door games mean much at all. The only thing you could say is that adelaide seems that it is going to do its usual thing of peaking early and then fading after xmas. Something they have done for the last few seasons.

Shahanga Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 With Dylan on this. I don't think we can get too hung up on pre season games. The problem in past seasons is we never played well against strong opposition in pre-season. The cup demo of Nix shows things are different this year. Even the demo of Oakley - easy to dismiss but it's not that long since we beat them 1-0 in pre season.i also wouldn't worry that we lost to Adelaide earlier. It was our youth side vs their firsts and even so we almost won. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Edmonds Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Wellington playing basically the same level squad they did against us who lost in the FFA Cup, are currently beating a strong Sydney FC squad 3-0 just after HT.

InMyHeart Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Haha clinical...
