Only Adelaide player to score against us from anything other than a penalty in 5 matches (though it was from a free-kick), and plays down our right flank which is our weakest side. Dodd will be in Kemp's pocket again all game so having a good combination on the left to test Ryall's mettle under the most extreme pressure is a must. Beyond that they have to forget about fatty and stop Celeski if they want to hurt our midfield.

IMO fuck him. They were perfectly fine without him and I cant see him having an impact against MV. Use the same line-up as was on display against QR and it will be a good match.
As long as Salley plays.......

Cassio rang, he wants his spot on the wing back.

As a Melbourne supporter the only way I see a close game is if Adelaide line up like this.

It will be good to get some fresh blood as owners - especially Coopers.

Bianco is about to go through some some tough economic times with his company and is also about to go through a divorce apparently. With other owners in place, it will stabilise the club.

i wonder if different managers will change the environment of the club??

how much say do they have in the club?

thats the one

Wouldn't mind Coopers getting involved with AUFC - mmmm Pale at games!

Personally in the current climate would prefer not to have a real estate mogul involved - assets are not liquid enough.

are we talking Glen Cooper of coopers brewery's and Gordon Pickard the real estate guy?

Knew that Salley came off injured - leg injury of some sort, hopefully he pulls through!

What I hope is that he realises that the jeering was not directed at him when he came off, he had a blinder of a match!

Apparently Glenn Cooper and Gordon Pickard are buying into the club - Bianco with 50% and the other two 25 eachIF its true then its good news \:d/

i dont really giv - e a rats how we do it as long as we win

i dont think i could face another loss :cry:

Got my tickets, trying to work out if the guy on the phone put us in the Adelaide section.

ha ha me to!!! cant wait... if they play like they did on sat they may just have a chance, if they lift a bit they will have a chance...

How cool is it that the presets are playing, that is a added bonus!

I got my tickets, and accommodation, I'll be there front and center (well five rows back and slightly off center)

Salley!

Man I have missed him - AUFC needed someone to do what he did, take control of the midfield.

As for next season... who knows? He may have been released by the club but...

Need AUFC to show up like they did against QR or it will be a walk in the park for MV. Will hopefully be watching it at a mates place on the big screen (depends on my pregnant wife! baby is almost due...) and would love to see Salley feature.

Diego is being a prima donna - great player but... he ain't no Ronaldo!

Cristiano is too soft, I think we will start Ago against MV again - though personally I think we should start Younis with Cristiano on the bench (maybe Ago too).

I too am brokeski but have fox so I will see it at home - with some relies

I BELIEVE!

Unfortunately I can't make it next week, but I will be watching at a mate's place on a small TV......... haha... oh well

We can hope:)

Salley are a champion mate!
GO YOU MIGHTY REDS ALL THE WAY
Here we come MV on our redemption mission

Got my trip to Melbourne done, hopefully we put in a good show on Saturday.

lol but still start younis lol yes he was constinet but cristainao needs a partner .. and i like younis lol

hes too inconstistant for starters and 2nd when we changed our gameplan he didnt fit

salley is great player pity hes off to chian.. why didnt viddie play him more?? or yeah the afc thing .. but start younis lol

he was taken off because of a hammy - hope its alright

Edited by UnitedGal: 22/2/2009 12:46:24 AM
