fensaddler Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) I think WSW are a better outfit than last year, and are certainly more likely to be in the six. Got found out last night by pace, but will be interesting to see whether that was a blip or a more long term weakness. CCM are going to be the classic wild card, great on their day, but still beatable. Losing Kuol after Christmas will be significant because he's a game changer. But definitely a likely top six contender. Victory are just vile and filthy and cheat but unfortunately have some decent players. Albeit they are not as good as they think they are. Newcastle are underperforming, Perth look woeful. Been some odd results this weekend, Sydney have blown up, Brisbane suddenly found some form, and Wellington come good in front of their home crowd to beat an underperforming Bulls. Adelaide will just be themselves but wouldn't bet against them being top three. Delightfully, Tarneit Unsupported and their lovable manager look about the worst of the bunch. But the net effect of widespread inconsistency means that we are well clear already on points and goal difference, without ever having really hit our straps for the whole of a game. If ever we do, we'll take someone for six or seven. Edited November 6, 2022 by fensaddler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is kind of difficult to work out which way the league is heading as results have been inconsistent with City being the exception and I thought that they should have won the game against WP.

haz Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) The table after Round 5. CCM have a chance to sneak up when they play Macarthur, and to get even more points when they play their postponed game against Newcastle. Next round, I'd like to think we can knock-off Newcastle quite easily, while Adelaide vs Victory and Sydney vs WSW means we'll see some movement towards the top.

Newcastle are being funded by every other club atm and are scraping the bottom of the barrel and their striker has a heavy first touch. CCM were the pick of the bunch this week, their pressing was impressive and they created a lot of chances, let down by their finishing until the young subs came on, both very effective. Kuol going will be huge for them and probably a bit much but should be in the six, I hear it was for only 300K as well. WSW do look to be in trouble, they shouldn't have been accepted before other bids, it was clear as day to everyone but the FFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted November 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 I think it's far too early to tell what might be the outcome of this season. We are top of the table after 5 matches, but IMO the match vs. Phoenix highlighted our frailties. IIRC one season - I can't remember which - Adelaide went from dead last at the half-way mark to the Premiership. Shortly we'll have a break in the season, and then a transfer window, so I think it's better to take it one match at a time until a clear pattern emerges. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSW doesn't look very strong, despite some results. They got something early in the season, but they only scored 5 goals in 5 games, a very weak showing to be in the top. It's unlikely they'll make the top 6... Hi all Edited November 18, 2022 by DarOv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aardvark Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Geez that was a satisfying result. Adelaide very good to watch, great press and some standout players. Kitto is very impressive, Goodwin greta, and Ibusuki is pretty complete. Meanwhile at Victory Nani continues to be a flop, their midfield is non existent and amazingly Broxham is still starting at CB. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewConvert Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Really liked the way AU kept their formation. The only thing that let them down was some inaccurate passing - missed their targets by inches which they recovered from but if they had been able to be more accurate their attacking would have been more effective. MVC cannot wait for the break so that they can re-start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fensaddler Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 Victory's weakness is believing, year on year, that they are better than they are, and entitled to success because they are 'the biggest club in the league'. Probably explains why they signed a diving flog like Nani. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fensaddler Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) WSW won't score many, but they'll be bloody hard to score against, and they'll battle hard. They are contenders this year. Safe to say that Adelaide are also in that category. Victory are mediocre and Sydney verging on poor.

NewConvert Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 Sydney's squad looks very average across the pitch. I feel that one or two players will retire and a few more released by mutual consent. They could do no worse than raid some of the City players coming off contract at season's end.
