I thought at first that I'd lump a fortune on Heart to win, but actually, this 'B' team we are able to put together actually looks decent and a win is definitely possible. I say GO FOR GOALS and NOT park the bus.

Bet365 - Heart $1.66 / Draw $3.50 / Phoenix $5.50 - Phoenix are longest odds of the weekend, although Victory away at Brisbane are not far behind.
Edit - And TIP OF THE WEEK from me...on Bet365, Fenton is a remarkable $29.00 to score first / last. Unbelievable odds and I'll be having a bit of that.

Our team is still pretty decent. Attitude will determine whether we come away with anything (and scoring first away from home is key)

I expect that Greenie would like his 1st win as 'manager'
and certainly a good sign for the rest of the season if we can pick up some points with so many unavailable

I know, I know, its serious!
We're gonna get dicked. I just know it.

Dmac scores goals, not pretty one, but his ratio isn't too bad... and at the end of the day that is all that matters.
Would love 3 points this weekend but I really doubt we are going to be good enough with all the AW's missing.
If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid
I would be stoked with a draw. I think it's achievable too, and it will be great to see Greenie's leadership compared to John Aloisi's. Two inexperienced managers going up against each other, although Aloisi's tactics were spot on against the Victory.
Why the fuck is Herbert taking both Paston and Moss to the islands ??????
Jesus.
Greenie said on the radio yesterday that he'll be in constant contact with Ricki and that Ricki will name the starting XI
Considering how many of our starting lineup and subs aren't match fit I'm picking we'll get overrun in the last 15-20 minutes. Would be very happy if we nick a point.
GCU got some good results last season fielding a team full of toddlers, so there's always hope.

Because if he takes one and they go down injured and we lose he'll get lynched. I love the Phoenix but these All White games mean more than the Phoenix league game to the sport in this country.
FFS FFA! Even China One has a break to allow for the international window.

Apparently to some of the Australian fan base we're just whingers and if we had a team full of Australians this wouldn't happen.
Of course, sorry about that. FFA carry on. It's quite nice being in this little bubble at the edge of the world doing our own thing. What do the rest of the footballing world know anyway?
After all the Tards invented it first.

442's WaMackie is definitely Dingo Son in drag. Without question.

interesting, probably not unusual but I'd like to think that Greenie had some decision-making power as he'll be watching the players in training in the days before the match (not that we've got buckets of options to play around with)

Utterly spot on.
Nostalgia isnt what it used to be...........

Nelsen is apparently in doubt as well as Reid now. If we lose Boxall I feel that would be the straw that breaks the camels back. With Boxall I'm quite confident we will be very competitive, around even money.

Yep, this scares me too.

Do we have a pre match pub in melbs? or a melbs crew of ppl who are going?
.... (secretly Im looking for friends to get drunk with and watch fine phoenix football)
There are a couple of threads around. Seems like pre-game is at transport in Fed Square (the normal home iof the Fever and White Noise in Malben).
Post game you will be lead by radioman and Feverish and may I just say, good luck with that shit.

"We won't bring any other players in. We've got 16 minimum that will travel to Tahiti. We can only use three subs anyway. I'm comfortable with the depth in this squad.''
Phew! Source
In another twist, Herbert said he thought it was unfair he request Phoenix defender Michael Boxall join the All Whites' squad as cover.
"I think the club's made a pretty good contribution to this group,'' he said. "That would be a completely unfair request ... I guess I feel that from both sides, obviously.''
I'm sure both West Ham and QPR or Pana, or the Galaxy could well consider that asking players to come half way round the world for friendlies, or if the next set of matches are dead rubbers, or when other players are coming to sit on the bench etc to be unfair requests.
Normo's coming home
It sounds like Spoonley might get the start spot ahead of Basalaj.
From Greenacre...
"Scott is a goalkeeper of the future for the club and he's going to be a long-term goalie for us," Greenacre said. "And everyone knows the qualities of Jacob - he's played in some big games, in the Olympics so the fear factor won't be there for him."
I have seen Basalaj a couple of times at youth level and he went pretty well but this is probably a good move. He just has more experience and more likely to be confident which is extremely important with a rejigged defence. What do others think?
As we said on the PodCast (I think) I don't agree with it. Start Basalaj he's the keeper on the clubs books and at least as good as Spoonley. If we're playing Spoonley we should be starting Imray instead (if he has NZ residency sorted) as he is the best keeper in the ASB Premiership.
If you're taking a punt, take a punt on the keeper at the club.
