AUFC vs MVFC match preview 29/2/2020

Postby bpowell454 Tue Feb 25, 2020 8:09 pm

The last time we lost by 3 goals was against Perth in round 14, in round 15 we beat Melbourne Victory. Let's hope they can revitalise us again.

Gertjan said pre-game last weekend that Troisi would be joining full training on Monday with a hope to be ready for Saturday. Surely he won't have 90 in him but getting our senior players back to full fitness is important coming towards the end of the season. ACL is still a very real possibility if we can tighten up at the back and take control of games rather than let the opposition dictate the play.

In related news, I actually won a triple M radio contest for flights, accommodation and tickets to the game on Saturday! Anyone else going? I haven't been to Marvel before, only AAMI Park so I'm excited to check it out.

Just entered my details on a form after following a link from the club's Facebook page. Then I got a call out of the blue and was told I was one of 2 finalists and George Blackwood would be representing me. I assumed I would lose straight after that but George knew more about Jordan Elsey than Jordan knew about him so I won, nothing required from me at all.

Great story, Georgie does it again. :D

Think the Red Army are travelling for this one, lets hope the boys put on a show.

How long are Mauk/Troisi out for?

Imagine the flavour in a Mauk, Troisi and D'arrigo midfield playing away to victory in a derby. All 3 love to get stuck in.

Jimmy Troisi talks to the press.



We should get some minutes from him.

With Halloran out, I’d imagine Maria will play wing with Kitto playing at full back.

This is what I’d like to see:

Izzo
Marrone Elsey Jaboksen Kitto
D’Arrigo
McGree Troisi
Maria Blackwood Mileusnic

Oschenham, Abetew/Smith, Boland, Toure, Yengi.

I don’t think it’ll happen but I would drop Opseth from the squad entirely.

Abetew and Smith are playing NPL so you’d imagine they wouldn’t be travelling.
