**two to be omitted**

Brisbane aren't great and we have a good record up there. Must win game imo.

[ZANZIBAR]

not confident on this one. Forced to play blackwood alone up front. Brisbane will be hurting and desperate for a win.
Atleast the rain has stopped up here and is not forecast for saturday. Fingers crossed

[Reds4Life]

If there was a week to take a gamble on starting Absalonsen this is it.

[otto62]

My guess - Absalonsen on the bench (maybe gets 20-30 minutes depending on how the game plays out), Lia and Elrich omitted.

[shinAUFC]

Rumours aloisi is very serious about securing odoherty next season.

Will be interesting how he reacts on the pitch for this match

[ZANZIBAR]

hopefully we get the same ref standard as tonight. Barbarousous just committed his 7th foul without a card. 32 fouls for mvfc and only 2 yellows.

[ZANZIBAR]

make that 8 fouls

[UnitedPants]

Feel like it's a must win. COYR!

[Reds4Life]

Lose tonight and there's no point making finals.

[ZANZIBAR]

Lose tonight and there's no point making finals.

dont kid yourself, we are playing for the kast acl spot. Sfc are way too good.

If we lose tonight, 3 points in 5 games to catch an in form Victory

[sub007]

Ochieng playing NPL so he must be omitted which means at least one of Vinni or Tarek will at least make the bench.
