We are off to Wollongong to play the 'Nix who are coming off an impressive win against Perth. Davila is looking very dangerous though Hemed and Piscopo are likely to remain on the injury list.

For Adelaide.............I guess if it 'aint broke don't fix it. I'm a little surprised Mauk remains fit, however he seems to be there each week covered in strapping.

Strips could be a little weird if 'Nix play in red and we play in yellow.

This will be a tough match and I will be more than happy with a point out of this one. Welly have transformed under Ufuk Talay into a genuine premiership threat; they remind me of us in their determination to get forward and to keep defences off balance.

I would much rather see us play in red and Welly in yellow, as God intended; but that the strips might be reversed is truly an odd thought.

Are there really only 5 games left?

Tough game but we are going to need to pick up at least a draw to stay in the hunt for that crucial top 2 finish.

I'm hoping Yengi can return, he offers us something very different to Juric up top, he's a real handful.

Otherwise, extended minutes for Pacifique would be great, he could be the diamond in the rough come finals. And what's happened to Dukuly ?

Agree if it ain't broke don't fix, but would like to see the squad freshen up a little as well.

I do love that for the first time in forever we have a striker scoring better than a goal a game but... we're still not happy.
I mean I completely understand why but it's such a change from previous seasons.

It is indeed odd having our faithful goal scoring machine, Owen, having such a quiet year.

Dukuly hasn’t played since Goodwin arrived and that’s probably a good thing.

In my view he was out of his depth and needs a another year or two to develop before getting another chance.

I do feel sorry for him though as he probably shouldn’t have been thrown into the deep end when he wasn’t ready.

Nah, 26 game season just like last. They just haven’t done the fixtures for the last few rounds yet.

The club tweeted that we will be in red and they will be in yellow.

Wellington will be come off only a 3 day break. Davila came off hobbling - I hope he’s not badly injured, but I wouldn’t be sorry if the short turn around means he doesn’t play.

The short-turn around certainly works in our favour. Then again, we had a short-turn around against Sydney and barely blinked.

Kudos to the 'Nix though for playing their entire season away from home.
