Boland
McGree Konstand
Halloran Opseth Toure

Richards, Marrone, Lia, Maria, Blackwood

Mileusnic unlucky to miss out. There was talk of increasing the bench to 7 subs, so hopefully that happens.

I dont think sydney will have a clue how we will line and how we will play.

Tbh neither do i lol

I'd go

---------------Izzo
Marrone Elsey Jakobsen Kitto
----------------Strain
--------McGree Boland
Halloran Opseth Maria

Maybe change Strain out for D'Arrigo ?

Sydney have a bunch missing on intl

Who knows how we'll line up but I am happy for Maria to come off the bench later in the game if we're in trouble...

Because nobody solves and problem like Maria...


Merry A-league Eve everyone, fire up farken?

Fire up farken!

We are have a full squad that is relatively even ...........there are going to be some unlucky players unless the bench has indeed been expanded (please tell me this is so)

It is.

If you have 1 u23 player, you can increase the bench to 6. This will always be the case for us given one of Margus or Richards will always be on the bench. If you have 2 U23 players on the bench, you can increase the bench to 7.

That's a really good rule change.
Surely with the likes of Brook, D'Arrigo, Toure, Yengi around we will always have a couple of youngsters on the bench so we can use the full 7
