I’ll be shocked if Meirer doesn’t start, makes no sense to start him last week and not this. If the goal is to get minutes into him and get the team used to playing with him then that won’t happen with him on the bench

grozos will start, 

given how well willmerring played id imagine he will get start over Russell 

 

I must be missing something with Wilmerring?? Sure he was on debut and I am certain he will be brilliant for us given time...but I didn't think he lit the league on fire last weekend? I think Tate has proven himself much more than a solid but average debut by Wilmerring? I'm happy with either either but I genuinely think I must have missed something with Wilmerring.

2 biggest memories of this fixture are the win in S1 and Flaregate in the season before last which was then followed by Arnie-gate and the whole active support discussion in mainstream media hit it's depressing lowest point.

Oh and that last minute free kick by Finkler which took 3 points off us in S2

Training this morning , no sign of Elrich,  Kamau  was training alone with a trainer working him with a ball

Georgeski, Yeboah, O'Doherty  and Ziegler all worked hard with the team  

Muller with 2 dots sat under an umbrella with a Latte and watched. :)

Singapore airlines 12 and half hour flight Frankfurt to Singapore then 6 and half hour flight to Sydney arriving 6:30am  this morning :)  like every other morning

Time for another bus trip methinks.

This is a ridiculous stat that we haven't beaten MV at home for 6.5 years. In a salary capped league. WTF

We were close in S2 (95th minute equaliser by Finkler) and S4 when we had the VIC under pump in the second half with a late Santa equaliser and sotirio hitting the cross bar in ad on time. Two of the most exciting away games ever.

Hey @mack, I know you're a cunning bastard, but did you really need to lock both part 1 and part 2 of the squad development threads!? And ...... how the hell are we now supposed to keep track of the number of pages until the next signing?

You are an accountant, live out your numbers fetish elsewhere. And remind me to give you a good slap for all your useless numbers posts next time we meet...

O'Doherty was training with the first team and doing all the drills :o

Surely not.

Good news about DG, Yeboah and Ziegler

Get to the back of the line and wait your turn...

2015 2-0 win when Castelen ripped it apart is the best memory I have, not been to an MV away game yet..

Castelen is mobbed by team-mates and fans after putting Wanderers two ahead.

We loved him that night anyway...

- Babbel mentioned Yeboah is added to the squad,
- Monge and Pagden are promoted to the squad.
- Russell is back from International duties.
- Kamau, O'Doherty, Elrich and Ziegler will miss out 
- Muller should be ready for next week's Sydney Derby (hopefully).
- Personally, I would have Grozos starting over Sullivan and Wilmering taking Elrich's spot.
- If Babbel decides to use Yeboah this week, I feel as though he would use him from the bench 
- We have enough players to use the 7 bench rule (right?). 

Anyway, here's my predicted starting line-up against Victory:

Subs: 16.Cordier, 22.Sullivan, 27.Yeobah, 28. Monge, 33. Russell, 35. Adam, 40. Suman
Omitted: 31. Pagden, 37. Trew

I'm still predicting a draw (really depends on Victory's lineup and if they stick with their 4-2-3-1 formation from last week against City or use 4-4-2 with Toivonen and Athiu at the front, that'll cause headaches for our back 3 if they decide to go ahead with that formation instead.)

I remember that game when Santa equalised. One my mates got absolutely flattened by a female cop while we were jumping around celebrating in the away bay at Etihad lol

When Santa scored I nearly fainted, my hearing when for a short moment. Absolutely mental. 

As far as the Friday game is concerned: WSW can't go to Melbourne and expect to beat the VIC. But they are still getting the hang of Kurz, a few of their key players came late, and they are missing two key players with BL experience - it could be much worse for WSW. 

If WSW can keep Toivonen quiet, and AMFG scores, then WSW will win the game.

Retired accountant! 

I need a numbers hit every now and then!
