A tiny corner of yellow in a sea of .. yellow. Greek being spoken and sung on the PA. Friendly club, good facilities.

Will we ever play with two up the top?

I am so tired of seeing us play with 1 up top, always isolated feeding off scraps.

Yup, match day - I feel angsty!

you're right, sometimes the LM and RM will join the attack and make it a 3-3-4
football is fluid, the shape changes constantly.

Strips are a bit confusing - even with the Chemist Warehouse at bottom of shirt backs!
EDIT: Snap!

I know, I know, its serious!

 That yellow label on the black shirt looks so much better than the red though. Dont mind this kit, shame it's only gonna appear once!

That was some nice play to beat the press, if only Lokes pass connected with Supyk

Dumb question.   If we win all our games do we win the Australian cup?

I know there is some weirdness as we got involved for just the preseason experience and we cant go to the Club World Cup if we win, but do we still win the Cup itself?

Early observations:

1) tim paynes body language is pretty average- he seems to he playing well but cuts a very frustrated figure
2) min 9-14 - blueprint for season. Great football- great ball speed- much better than last year
3) isaac hughes continues to impress 


For me the ball speed and high press are impressive

I missed the first 8mins but since then we’ve looked impressive, lots of progressive football and almost moments. I’m definitely in the glimmer of hope camp for the upcoming season.

I tell you what this bloody yellow shirt/chemist warehouse business is causing me all sorts of grief. Keep thinking "ooh who's this academy product?" Or "Oooh is that one of the new signings?" Before I catch up and remember we are the team playing in black.

I was so confused on why we looked like we were attacking Oluwayemi before realizing we were in black.

alright mate you asked for it. Here is some negativity for you. Loke and Supyk simply don't have the quality required. Their decision making and execution in critical moments is just not there. Want to see Sheridan or Payne on the right instead

Supyk is inconsistent on the ball. Needs to hold on to it to help out the play more. 

 These yellows are a bit stupid

some of our long balls have been woeful though. Some nice little quick passing triangles when under pressure, but still not overly happy with this
Annual finals disappointment enthusiast.

I reckon they will be able to defend this lead tbh. We won't be able to break them down if they just defend deep.

I'm not convinced many of these Phoenix players would make the starting XI for Heidelberg.
