IssySG Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 The A League Men are back! How we all feeling? My main curiosity is how we line up for this game with our Socceroos absent. Assuming Nabbout is right and raring to play, I'm of the opinion that our team is stronger with him in it. Both Galloway and Nate seem undroppable after their respective performances against South so that lends the question, do we leave the team as is? Do we drop Cola to the bench and start Nabbout as a number 9? Hoping to see our Italian Stallion at least make the bench. Also hoping for a solid crowd to see the boys out - somewhere around the 8k mark feels about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) So pumped for this, the South game was a bit of a snoozefest so I'm keen to see how we fare against A-League opposition at home. Brisbane are a bit of a weird one, their squad looks pretty underwhelming on paper and there's a lot of unknowns regarding imports and young Australians, but their pre-season form has been electric from all reports, and we know they overperformed last season with Warren Moon in charge. Going to be very interesting given our selection dilemmas, but I don't think it'll be straightforward per se. Predicting a 2-1 win for now.

citypool Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 I think we pump Brisbane 3-0 in front of a decent crowd of 8k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeVader Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Returning socceroo has to start. Wouldn't take into account someone who dominated a poor South melbourne outfit.. cola, Galloway or tilio to be the unlucky change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovan Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 I wouldn't start Nabbout, but will expect him to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Nabbout looked well out of sorts for Australia and he seems to have come home with a niggle. Bench chance at best I’m thinking. Hopefully Puchirelli makes the bench. Any news on Rostyn? Given his history, if there are any questions I guess he’s on the bench too. Pumped for the game though!

Deluka Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 TBH Nabbout was always going to look out of sorts as he was surrounded by teammates and opposition who have largely been playing regularly abroad. Looks like JMac was on a flight ASAP and will arrive in Melbourne today so expect him to come off the bench (maybe start!) and reckon Leckie will be rested given he played more minutes for AUS.
