AUFC 2015/16 Pre Season

[sevengoals]

The goal this season?

Win more than we lose.

[EdDog]

Finals.

And beat the Tards at least once.

[ChillyPhilly]

Had a dream last night of us playing Newcastle away. Went 3-0 down within several minutes, but quickly responded with two. Think our third equalising goal was disallowed. Dugandzic, I think it was, equalised with a simple finish, but it counted for nothing.

[ZANZIBAR]

Finals.

And beat the Tards at least once.

Agreed. Make finals and please for the love of god beat the tards

[blahblah]

Finals.

And beat the Tards at least once.

Agreed. Make finals and please for the love of god beat the tards

I think we are all in agreement here. I'd also love at least two of the kids to have a break-out year.

I think the club is going to NEED that to happen for the season to be successful.

I am going to go one better, top 4 and beat the tards.

Yeah that seems reasonable going off from last season. As we see so often with new A-League seasons, clubs can have massive turnaround.

But I think if we haven't taken a step backwards, then top 4 should be achieved.

From the season preview---


Mid-table hopefuls.
In a 10 team league with finals...

4. Adelaide United

The man who delivered Adelaide United its most significant piece of silverware to date – the inaugural FFA Cup – has departed the city of churches for the one that never sleeps.

Josep Gombau leaves his side in seemingly good hands – those of compatriot Guillermo Amor. With both men coming from the Barca school – Gombau as coach, Amor as player – the transition could be a fairly seamless one. But will it result in a first and long-overdue A-League championship for the Reds?

Their cup defence certainly hasn’t gone well. It was over before the season even began, thanks to a 3-1 loss at Melbourne Victory. They’ve lost key defenders in Nigel Boogaard and Cameron Watson, and speedy young striker Awer Mabil has landed a gig in Europe.

But the Reds have held on to their best firepower – Sanchez, Cirio, Carrusca – and have lured Viduka-esque forward Eli Babalj back to Australia, at least temporarily.

The 23-year-old, once of Melbourne City, has spent the past two years as a “forgotten man” in the Netherlands. Time will tell if he’s still got the touch that made him attractive to AZ Alkmaar (and Red Star Belgrade before them).

Tarek Elrich continues to improve, even in his late 20s, and looks to be growing into the role of national full-back. That’s bound to have flow-on effects for Adelaide, the team that has helped him rediscover his form.

With no major overhaul of last year’s squad, the biggest change has been at the top. Gombau has laid the groundwork. Now it’s up to Amor to take the Reds to the top. JK

ultimate season:
win the premiers plate on the last game of the season.
AUFC and tards on equal points. AUFC win while the tards are held to a draw.
win the championship at a sold out adelaide oval - against the tards!

Standing on tables, Chelo obviously excited for the new Star Wars movie is showing his power of the force and levitating a ball, Billy Love with the old phone pretending to organise a date with your girlfriend......has nothing to do with anything in the article
