will sydney get big away numbers during the aus open? 

Victory for Victory for me. Rojas brace. 

I wonder if Rojas will play some minutes off the bench in this one

Difficult to see him playing more than a few minutes, if at all.
Last played a match - 15 Dec.
Last 90 mins - 10 Nov

Rojas won't play.

Sydney will win.

Sydney should win 3-1 against us. That probably means Victory will nick a lucky 1-0 win. Own goal by Kosta (snake) would be the sweetest.

Usually this game is on Australia day. I went last year and reckon we brought 1500-2000. 

Won't be anywhere near that given it's a Friday.

Even being on the bench will give Melbourne a lift, if only psychologically. 

Once fully match fit Rojas and Tiovenen will be a very tasty pairing.

we will lose and lose well. 1-3.


LMFAO. you've never brought those numbers to Melbourne to a home and away game. ever.  

A shame they (and Kruse) will not get to play a full season together with a solid team behind them.
It could have been very entertaining.

Has it stopped raining down there in Melbourne ? 

Yeap - but hopefully we continue to get more over the next few days.
Remember when people were stupid and use to pick on Melbourne for its weather.
How times have changed.

(pssst - N i k o - This is how you do it mate).

Rojas included in the extended squad. I hope he does come on for a bit, it'll be minutes to rest for another player we'll need in Japan, and crucially give our fans a chance to chant "you signed the wrong fucking Kiwi" at Sydney.

Might not be cleared in time to play.

Sydney 3-0

Ill go with 1-1 draw. Victory do enough to hold on.

Righto m8. Easily 1500 there on Australia day last year. There were even Sydney fans spilling over into the Victory bays towards the south end.

Not sure why the Victory even bother to turn up - easiest Sydney win all season.

4-0 to Sydney

SFC to dick this 1-3.

Knowing you. We'll probably win this. Remember your call bali 5-mv nil 

The dicker became the dickee.

Nah Melbourne will smash us I reckon. 8-0 to the home side. 

Nobody cares anymore, unfortunately.

Why are you posting then?

Rojas back is great and all but we're still not going anywhere until the midfield is replaced.

I wouldn't mind Lesiotis Basha
                           Toivonen
in midfield.

Victory really need to turn up and play today.

Show some spine.

Because I love seeing your profile pic

Hopefully rojas can play but should play a weakened side imo. Not really worth gassing the top players with a bigger game on Tuesday, and they'll need everything going their way in Japan as it is.
