There's 8 players training at monash uni now, no keepers, maybe trying for the last remaining spot? Or some other reason...
Anyway, the guys there I can recognise 100% are Oar, Carle, Vidosic, Carney, Holman, Milligan. Can't tell who the other 2 are yet.


Edit: other two maybe Williams and lowry

God i hope that isnt the final, pretty light on for attacking options.

7 if you count Milligan who can play there

8 if you count Holland who has been tried as a deeper playing midfielder in the reserves

I doubt that is right. Pim has used Vidosic as a direct replacment for Harry when we had a full strength squad and he starred.I would expect he will go and he has also said Ruka would be a threat at the World Cup.

there is no way pim only takes 2 out and out strikers

he'll take rukavytsya for sure so hopefully beauchamp is gone because we dont need him

hell probably take both jedinak and valeri too

and garcia/vidosic/oar/carle will fight for garcia's number

He's a versatile player, no doubt, but I'd rather see him at RB.

I thought Wilkshire did well in the games against Oman and Kuwait as a DMC.

I don't count Williams or Wilkshire as they won't play there for us...

Ruka should definitely be in there imo.

6 if you count Rhys Williams, he plays there for Boro.

It's 5 if you count Wilkshire.

How is four DM's overkill? We play with two ffs... If we played with two strikers would four strikers in the squad be overkill?

Um......
No thanks.

Reading on the verbeek blog a couple of days ago he said there will be a train on group so i would think the 7 dropped from the list of 30 will go anyway to help out in training scenarios

Yeah it is a bit. I'd take Valeri out for Vido/Ruka.

And Beauchamp... *shudder*

it is, but i still really want to see both jedinak and valeri in there

4 DM's is overkill and Beauchamp as the fourth Centreback is shite

That's a no surprise 23. It would only change due to injury.

Would be ideal if the other 8 all travelled and trained in camp.

vido and ruka for beauchamp and garcia

Wouldn't be any suprise. The biggest one being no Vido OR Ruka. I thought one of em would go, in front of Garcia.

hopefully that's not the final squad, no ruka or vidosic

i saw something interesting on the web today, they had individual portraits of each of the socceroos pleriminary squad players. and these were the squad numbers, i beleive that these are only for the NZ game, but you it could also be seen as the final 23 who will make the final squad:

2. Lucas Neill
3. Craig Moore
4. Tim Cahill
5. Jason Culina
6. Michael Beauchamp
7. Brett Emerton
8. Luke Wilkshire

10. Harry Kewell
11. Scott Chipperfield
12. Adam Federici
13. Vince Grella

15. Mile Jedinak
16. Carl Valeri
