Surely 3 points coming up. Yes, but those pommy Perth's have many players missing due to injury and red cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSeater Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 This game will give us a chance to send a message to the rest of the competition by showing that we can beat the easiest team in the league to beat. That would be unheard of for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSeater Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I've been a supporter of this club since the first day of Melbourne Heart. I've been to more games than I can count. And yet tonight is the night I finally make my long-awaited pre-game debut. I look forward to hopefully meeting some of you chaps in real life tonight 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jovan Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Interesting about Colazo statement in the other thread that the coaches are going to persist with him in the same position and probably going to play the 343 again as it gives more options. And against the Mariners is probably the only team the 343 suits playing against. Having Kilkenny return and Ruon rested also leads me to think they probably will try it again and I'm also thinking Brandan will most likely start more centrally.

Tony999 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 So the kids can go free tonight. Was this advertised at the last home game? I don't recall it being advertised as I only got an email now to say that kids go free. Great incentive by the club but f* me, shouldn't have we been told this at the last home game as I can't recall this being up on the big screen?

But that's what happens when the stuff shown on the screen at half-time etc. is such a load of crap that no-one really pays much attention to it. People have been asking for a long time for specific City-oriented content at City home matches - such as coverage of the Women and Youth teams - but it never happens. Just another example of the club failing to communicate with its fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playmaker Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 That's because kids don't want to go anymore. Two guys I spoke to at last home game said they had to force their kids to go because they hate the way we play. My kids are getting the too. So much for the 'Beautiful football' we are meant to be playing. A snoozefest more like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the team we have we shoukd be 1st or second on the table not 3rd and 9 points behind victory. We lose and draw stupid games. I am getting fed up with how we play.

We lose and draw stupid games. I am getting fed up with how we play. So far this season our average non-derby attendance is 9,558. If we go back to S1 the season n-d average was 5,828. The average attendance continues to rise each season. Membership is at an all-time high and we have overtaken Sydney (just). I agree that it seems that a lot of us are disgruntled, but the "metrics" people at the club will look at the numbers and whilst they're probably not happy with them in an absolute sense they will be pleased with the growth.

DAM10 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) The circus continues. The untouchables Cahill, Brattan and Colazo in the starting line up. The player of the month Ruon, our best defender on the bench ( ? ) and Malik in. Valkanis, you're a joke. You have no character and balls to replace players that everyone with a football brain can see aren't delivering. Good luck FFA muppet.

n i k o Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Tongyik not in means we're playing 3 at the back? Last time we played them I hoped we'd play 3 (enter JVS decides to play 4 at the back and give them time in the ball) at the back and pressure their defensive backline as they're culpable to make errors. If we do this I think we'll win convincingly. Edited January 19, 2017 by n i k o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haz Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 What the fuck is wrong with this club. The player selection is mind boggling (I was wrong thinking Brattan was suspended for this game). And with Chapman leaving, what is happening with our defence? We'll probaly use the cap space on a midfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Polak Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Hard to tell if that was intentional or not, but usually i always see those types of fouls as yellows in other games. But i guess the ref assumed he intentionally hit jakobsen. Now im just concerned they will park the bus like wsw and it will stay as a draw due to city's lack of creativity when teams are ultra defensive Edited January 19, 2017 by Young Polak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
