Preview: AUFC vs CCM 27/3/16

[View From The Top]

I have this horrible feeling we are destined to meet Perth in an elimination final. Hopefully at home.

Home?

You mean Adelaide Oval

I just hope like hell the FFA learnt from last season where they had to give enough tickets away to get a crowd over what Coopers holds.

[Max Power]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but we have signed an agreement for 3 years that ALL* finals will be at AO, and at least 1 Victory game a year.

*unless AO is pre booked for something major

Would the club have signed such a thing if the FFA are the ones that organise finals? Where did you hear that?
Seems very odd that the club would publicly express that they don't want games at AO as they have done, if this is the case.

That's not good, especially when ange is cracking it about Adelaide ovals surface.

Unfortunately we have to accept that our state government and the curator of AO have no knowledge of football, They both think that ARF is the be all & end all.
The FFA couldn't give a rats as its all about $$$$ for them. So if we do meet Perth we'll beat them at the oval

I think the curator has learnt a few lessons from previous games now.
I'd imagine the pitch is as good as it can be given they only just took the cricket pitches out.

[ChillyPhilly]

I am not worried by Perth at all if we play them. We are their bogey side.

I agree. I feel AU seems to generally get the better of sides that rely on one striker to get the majority of their goals. Keogh and Fornarolli have generally struggled against AU.

[Stuckey]

Some big in's! Hopefully they are ready to roll and this isn't another smoke and mirrors tactic.
Elrich's injury seems to be taking a long time to heal.

[EdDog]

Elrich 3-4 weeks fuaaark.

Really need another full/wingback hey.

Can someone one direct me to the thread that informs us about Members children getting into this game for free. Cheers

I don't think the curator has a say when the afl season is this week. Hence why the national coach is so dissapointed with the oval surface. It isn't for football it's set for afl.

The FFA couldn't give a rats about us when he only national game we get is against Tajikistan on the eve of the easter holiday long weekend where everyone leaves for a holiday.

Last year the FFA had to give so many tickets away for the final and if they haven't learnt from that then we know they don't care about the game in sa.
