They do and the only advantage spotless has over parra is that you can still see the game* while you are waiting for the kids to get off the jumping castle.

*noting that the stand behind the goals at that end is in a different postcode to the pitch

In all the family x 3 and feel we are going to win. A strong start with players needing now to prove more. I feel a crowd of around 15,000.

 

Sunday with a 6pm kickoff - I think the crowd will be light. As long as there's a big RBB presence, though, it will feel right.

Really looking forward to the game and being back in action despite Popa going I think we should be strong and win 4-1 with the quality we have this year. Oreo brace with Cejudo landing a couple of assists, fat head to get one and Santa grab a late goal, just need a big turnout but predicting 16.5k crowd.

Finally some real football action!  Bring it on!  In x2.  Wanderers 2:1

any good food options around or

I'm expecting a draw, Perth have a decent side on paper and they haven't been worn down by all the travel yet. Butters is suspended right?

I doubt anything except that 7/11 type store near the station will be open, and even then it might be closed.

Either eat before you leave or pick something from a stadium store.

Perth have had poor form in pre-season.

Butters is suspended for 3 matches including this one. Alex Grant is supposed to be injured as is Harold. We won't really know who is in their squad until they are announced tomorrow.

I'm just scared of Castro really. 

i am going to an album listening party pre match, only mentioning this because apparently there will be free pizza and i wanted to make everyone jealous

Draw

I'm going with a draw, we've never won an opening game

Suggested Perth line up

Gk Reddy

DF Neville, Lowry, Poscolliero; Warren

MF Chianese, Torres; Andreu, Castro

FW Taggart, Keogh

that perth team looks great going forward but very sketchy at the back.

keogh/castro/taggart gave us all sorts of headaches last year.

Looks like the same starting squad as against APIA. Jumpei/Sotirio fighting for bench spot as are Lustica/Melling.

Clisby to cover LB and CB.

Llorente may cover LB and LW

I see the names Hamill and Sotirio, and I have flashbacks. Not good ones.

Sotirio got a red card in his last match, do they carry over? Maybe we should check with FFA just to be sure.

Aspro? Injured, or away?

Already served in FFA Cup v Nix

Let's just leave him out to be certain.

Riera 

bridge, roly, cejudo 

baccus, herd

llorente, corn, thwaite, hamill

janjet

subs: hall, Clisby, lustica, jumpei, santa

melling and sotirio omitted. 

Aspro and risdon to come back should knock hamill and Clisby out of the squad too.

Has there ever been a better combination of words?

How can we end up with Hamell at right back , we are in trouble if we dont have any choice after Risdon

Where is Aspro , I thought thwaite could play anywhere across the back 4

We are a salary capped league mate.

I'd go as far as saying we have the best squad strength in the A-League.

Hamill might not be everyone's cup of tea, but as a back up, he'll do me.

Faith.

Play Clisby instead of Hamill.

Hamill is a liability. A disaster waiting to happen.

Clisby, Aspro or even baby Baccus
