I'm on a 2-10pm shift so will miss the first half and sprint home for the 2nd ;)

Oi Oi Edgecumbe Yeah wtf? McGarry has been one of our most solid players this whole season. Looked to be carrying a knock last 30 minutes of last week. Could be injury related?

Not the first time this year either. I don't think Ufuk is a big fan, personally he's one of the first guys I'd have on the team sheet despite being poor last week.
Lonegunmen I'm assuming Hemed is injured...?
Edit, just saw higher in the thread he is.
YoungHeart I love the late kick offs, so each to their own, even prefer midnight in Perth if I'm honest!
newzealandpower Yes, other sports are taking players off based on video evidence, not just concussion test.
Royz You're mad. We've been pantsing them. Only a matter of time before we get a goal.
Royz WU barely been in our half.
must beat Rudan and other turncoats.
Interesting 3 games against other teams in and around the top 6. Can't really afford to lose any of them. Probably need 7 points.
Our next 3 games (WUN, PER, WUN) will potentially define whether we will make the top 6 or not.
Anyone but Rufer to mark Diamanti please.
Fingers crossed we have Tayls and Reno back.
I think our wide players, (full-backs and attacking mids) will have a big influence on how this game against WUN will pan out. Most of their play which have resulted in goals, have come from Diamanti playing out wide to Pain and Pierias. COYN! We have beaten them before and we can do it again!

3-1 loss coming up COYN!
3 - 0 win coming up
Based on the 2nd half last week I'd like to see us try the Lewis + Devlin combo from the start this weekend
Talay said on Saturday that Taylor would likely be fit enough to be on the bench on Sunday, when they host Western United, as would Ridenton, but McGing, Hudson-Wihongi, and Piscopo would remain absent.
Piscopo could miss 3 more matches after this one !!

"Talay said on Saturday that Taylor would likely be fit enough to be on the bench on Sunday, when they host Western United, as would Ridenton, but McGing, Hudson-Wihongi, and Piscopo would remain absent." Piscopo unlikely to start until early May.
Great to have a coach who still hasn't given up hope.

Chris Beath in charge of the match tomorrow
Feeling a bit underwhelmed at the idea of a 9.05pm Sunday evening kick off but will probably soldier on

MATCHDAY! COYN!
Agree especially when you see a kickoff at 5 on the saturday. Just shows FFA really dont give shyte
Another lose coming up! Just hope the boys put in a good effort in a match we really never stood a chance. COYN!
Let's send Rudan home with his tail between his legs
Good to see the Lewis Devlin combo and will be interesting to see how Sutton goes

Replying to @WgtnPhoenixFC Tomer is out as a precaution after feeling his quad in training.
McGarry dropped is a shock to me
Never seen him play there, his various cameos have all been as one of the wide AMs I believe, interesting as I thought McGarry has been good. Back four of Sutton, Laws, Payne, Fenton could be a bit sus though, I like Payne but others worry me a bit.
No Diamanti for Western is huge though, he’s a baller and would’ve gave Lewis/Devlin a huge task

We don't have an overly strong bench, but hopefully we've enough to see them off, especially with no diamanti. Bit gutting that Hemed is out, just when he's been starting to show what he can do.
not sure we ever have an overly strong bench to be fair
Come on boys! I am honestly knackered from work and moving and everything else going on in life at the moment, so this 9.05 kickoff has already pissed me off enough, please get out there and get the job done tonight. 💛🖤
Yeah wtf? McGarry has been one of our most solid players this whole season.
The FFA does give a shyte as it was the W League Grand final played earlier tonight. A bit of research would have given you the answer instead of blindly blaming FFA for our late KO

Shocked to see McGarry dropped. He's been a highlight this season.
How does Sotorio start? He's an 80th minute substitute.

Come on you boys! Fudge up the snake cods!
Really liking how aggressive we have been so far. And how we're being more direct and sometimes just going long instead of holding the ball aimlessly.
Good to see Wales up and about. He should really have come off though.. He passed out after that impact. We need concussion rules for the good of the players!

Oh god, Bosnich and Thompson... Bring back Cam and Paddy
Good hands Sail
WU clearly the better side, we do nothing in front of goal.
