Kashima Antlers vs Western Sydney Wanderers 25/02/2015 7:00PM

Hope Bulut starts and scores 3.

Would love to see a reformed Bulut score, Bouzanis to have a solid game and Takahagi to show his class on AFC level.

Settle down guys, as much as I think Kerem is going to be everything we hope for - he needs a bit more time I reckon.

He's gunna score bro, said as much on FB yesterday

Looks like they flew out with Jetstar.

those excess baggage fees are going to be astronomical!

Pumped for the first glimpse of the Bulut

He's gonna be a budget version of ruka without the speed. He's still one of my favourite players though, is the bulut

Park the bus.

One chance.

One goal.

Come home with a 1-0 win and 3 points.

Has there been an announcement of who made the trip to Japan?

Anything other than a 5nil away win and 1 red card for the opposition is failure....after all theve been saving all their energy for the acl again as proven in this aleague campaign 😂😂👌

It would be nice to see him score against esfc...net the winner!

The pilot and air crew were on for starters 😜

Romeo will run riot but Juric will score. 1-1 draw will do just fine.

Can't wait for this, forget about HAL form and fight to defend our title.

gunning for the win.

needing a composed effort to start our ACL title, we will get the 3 points

takahagi to score

EVERYONE BUY A SHOOTF*ARKEN SCARF 

Romeo will run riot but Juric will score. 1-1 draw will do just fine.

Can't wait for this, forget about HAL form and fight to defend our title.

I've heard that Romeo and Ruka didn't travel. Obviously being saved for the derby

Romeo just being back from injury and having his first run out in ages this weekend means I doubt he was ever going to travel to this one.

He might start from the bench vs ESFC.

He's pretty small. Maybe he did go but we saved some cash by checking him in with the luggage. If Marty Lo wasn't injured they could probably take him as carry on.

Let's win this game

Posted this in the ACL thread, highlights video of Kashima's most recent match, a preseason friendly against a 2nd division foe around 10 days ago but still worth a scout.

2:43 is the best.   

Its more than doable to get a result.

 

Romeo will run riot but Juric will score. 1-1 draw will do just fine.

Anyone know who traveled at all or do we wait 1hour till kick off to find out.

Acl should be our priority now but yeah the scheduling doesn't help.

Not worried about result, just want to see a good performance. For Saturday not worried about performance, just want a win.

We'll find out when the team sheet is released 5 minutes before KO

Lets be honest, a point would be a very good result here. Even when we won the ACL away wins were rare, 2 out of 7 games, and we were playing a lot better then than we are now.

I don't reckon any ESFC player will give Kerem a flick on the back of his head   Might just be the last thing they ever do lol

Boy I cannot wait. Midweek football again!

The name Antlers' always conjures up images of the series 'True Detective' for me.

1-1.

Surely Popa wouldn't save players for the derby which, apart from pride, is now meaningless as we won't make the finals. The ACL is the only hope of salvaging something from this season. The fact that we are champions and we know we won't be in it next season makes it all the more important we get as much out of it as possible this season. 

a bit bored today so trolled through airport footage and training first session, couldnt see covic, Brendan h, romeo, nikita, larocca perkatis and obviously poljak and santa. not to sure about the youth players selected.

Players who are in training session footage.

NTS, Spira, Golec, Kalmar, Sotirio, Cole, Bridge, Tanaka, Takahaji, Haliti, Hamill, Trifiro, Bulut, Baccus, Liam Youill & Bouzanis, Hewlett Bell as GK's. There was one other player who I couldn't make out - Tomi perhaps.
