Are Brisbane really going to be able to travel to NSW to play the Jets in another week? 

Jets (A) Wed 20th of Jan 

When is our next home game?

Would like to use the first of my 3 game membership I got from Santa Clause 

Nice present. Maybe you will be less naughty this year and get a full season membership next year.

But I like being naughty

Anyone heard anything about Young suffering an injury and possibly out for a few weeks?? 

That would be a massive blow if true

Confirmed on the club FB page this morning. No timelines given. 

Ah well, will be good to see if Freke is up to it. 

Yeah, the defence is pretty good - it’s not like Youngies had much to do so let’s hope the defence keeps up 

“Freke-ish save earns Roar the points”
You read it here first.

"Freke-kick seals controversial win"

Youngster Macklin Freke will be thrust into an A-League debut next week with Young sidelined as coach Warren Moon prepares for life without his preferred custodian.

Young suffered an injury in training earlier this week and is facing several weeks on the sidelines to recover.

😬😬😬
No pressure but Young makes at least one top draw save a game.

Goalkeeping concerns ?
it's ok.... I have a cunning plan ....we will score more goals than the other team .

Young is a really good/great goalkeeper; and will be missed. But its good to see a young keeper get his chance. If he takes his chance well, and gets more opportunities, its good for the club in the longer run.

Just my 1 cents worth.

It’s pretty cool how many young GKs are playing in the league this year. Freke joins Glover, Delianov and Margush which is one third of the league.  

Mack’s a good young lad, he’ll be right, to be honest and this will piss a few people off, I would suggest his distribution is better than JY. 

Young is 36 before next season which is not too old, but now is the time to consider a replacement 

Bringing Acton back from Victory would be my choice but Freke, maybe?? 

I don't know of any people who praise Jamie's distribution skills. They may be improving - but he still gives the ball away often if he does not do a short pass.

I would be surprised if anyone is put out by your observation.

Was it Freke who played most preseason games?

Agree 

Given that keepers never get subbed based on performance or for tactical reasons, why don’t they bring in a rule that subbing your keeper is not counted as one of the allowed subs. 

It's a good idea but the coaches dread making such a call.

Does Moon have a three at the back plan when Scotty Neville arrives back soon or will he go to RB  in a back four and jostle with Hingert for a spot?
Interestng problem coming up.

We briefly touched on that several pages back.

I wondered if Moon would look at the 3/5 at the back structure, but his preseason form and history suggested he likes a back 4 more.

 It is a challenge for Moon for sure. I would rather have both Neville and Hingert in the side than miss one out for rotation or competition.

I hope he stays back 4. Neville can jostle for a spot.....I'm sure I've seen him play a winger type role so that's also an option. 

Better to have options !!!

Club has confirmed Bon Scott has been signed as an injury replacement for Young and will be available for selection tomorrow night. 

Its a long way to the top.....

What club is he from ? and is that actually his name or a nickname  ?
