Agreed need some classic Manfred

Just remembered that the Monday is a public holiday.... BEERS IN LADS!

This is our very last game at home for 3 years.

For the love of the team/city/both, come down to the Collector and enjoy the afternoon with jams/chants, having a drink/feed and firing up for the game with all in red and black.

From what it looks like on ticketmaster, no membership needed to buy tickets in the NT.

Not looking good with the Brisbane born Peter Green as the match referee..

Trust the FFA to put him on for our game..

He has it against us..

Awesome....

But in all fairness. No matter which ref was put in charge, it'll be a $hit decision.

In regards to ref, we just have to play well. Be clinical with our finishes and solid at the back.

I'm expecting Roar to absorb our attack and hit with the counter. A strong finish at the end of the final minutes will be key, going to be a nervous wreck on Sunday.

I see Sotirio is back in the squad. Looks like he will start then seeing as he is a favourite of Popas (for some reason)

Pio to make his return in the GF !

Was hoping to see Pio in the lineup... just needs a back-flick goal and we need a nice chip in the 2nd half to secure a GF spot... why does that sound familiar?

Gol Gol?

must be true that he is on the out

Romeo to hit the bar and both posts...   (or maybe he'll just hit the bar after the game!)

He has a talent for it. He could prob hit both posts and the bar in one shot if you asked him.

Santa must start and we must not let in late goals and we got this,unless the Brisbane ref is feeling biased ******* stupid FFA have no common sense.

If Sotirio plays we be f*****.

The habit of letting teams back into the game has to die Sunday morning.

Peter green eh at least is not cockhead Williams

My only doubt is MC beating Adelaide. I have no doubts about us beating Brisbane. If MC do beat Adelaide we just simply would not let go of a home GF. Whatever dribbling **** the Roar have been able to concoct up north ain't gunner work here. Never on a Sunday.

I think popa will run the same line up that has one its last two games 6-1 on aggregate.

It seemed like we hit some good form and I wouldn't contemplate changing now.

Only question mark is over keeper. Redmayne is good for a shocker or two, but has pulled out a few decent saves in his time with us so far. Not too sure why reddy was dropped to be honest. Attitude issue?

Santa

Bridge Nichols Castelen

Andreu Dimas

Jamo NTS Alberto Neville

Redmayne

Reddy, Cole, Baccus, Vidosic, Sotirio

Agree on that lineup. Although I'd have a CB (Aspro) over Sotirio. There's already 2 players on the bench that can play out wide.

And please peeps, stop trying to jinx us

I'd expect Hamill to get the bench spot should we choose a CB

The bench is his best position. he always has a good game there

Wasn't Peter Green the ref for the gf against Brisbane as well? Whoever it was, they were from Brisbane. 

Regardless of bias, it just makes sense to not have a ref from either city that's playing. Not for the FFA though.

You want see Pio in any Wanderers games, he hasn't been doing the proper training,Will be better for everyone to forget about him,

So, where are we congregating pre-match.

I've heard rumours that the Collector does jugs of Coopers?

It does, just set aside half an hour to get them once it starts getting busy.

Blasphemy Manny! Our last time at Wanderland for the foreseeable future and you're not going to grace the Bav? Disgraceful

Thought a Nobody from Newy was coming down to the BBC pre-game

can't remember a lower key build up to such a big game. even on here it has been very quiet. Not sure what the cause is?

disappointment at not winning the league?

general distaste for 'finals' football (although this didn't stop us getting excited in previous seasons)?

'big club' mentality where success at this level is expected and taken for granted?

eggball is in full swing so casual fans are distracted?

has the novelty of wsw worn off for some of our less committed 'fans'?

whatever the cause we are having a laugh if we think we are going to fill a 35K seat stadium week to week when we are struggling to fill a 20K one for a final.
