Wish I could be joining y'all, I've persuaded a friend from Fawkner to go to the match wearing Yellow in my absence.

PS Eejit, don't forget to get the banners off Hard News before you head off, because he will!

Just picked them up the noo!

Hopefully a few other stragglers might make it then!

You lot will have the ENTIRE South End to yourselves. The Telstra Dome (scum) have barricaded away fans from home fans and have kicked the South Enders out of their area.

I'm sure if it were Sydney or Adelaide there'd suddenly be "South End - Property of <Team Name>" banners going up. Which I'm sure would be exceedingly popular.

Im in Melbourne and id love to join the YF for the first time... LJ19822007-11-23 18:48:07

Mercado, messiah and Co.  Can you get in touch with Tony P.

PM him, or reply in the other thread - stickied and started by Tony.

Tickets are cheaper to get tomorrow, saves money for one beer atleast...

have fun lads!!

I had a couple of mountain goats at the Y&J this lunchtime when I got in, very nice they were.

What the Y&J like?

I'm hoping to pop into Y&J and say g'day if I get time, show you that not ALL MVFC fans are coin throwing wannabes!

Good luck for the boys tonight

Here's latest off stuff
Ferrante will start again tonight in another 3-5-2 formation. Tony Lochhead, Tim Brown and Shane Smeltz return from international duty, while Ahmad Elrich returns from suspension.

Captain Ross Aloisi and fellow midfielder Richard Johnson are both out through injury and striker Royce Brownlie is sick, while Lochhead replaces the suspended Steven Old at the back and Smeltz comes in for Vaughan Coveny up front to lead a two-man attack with Felipe.

good to see Ricky staying with the 3-5-2 with Smeltzy and Filipe up front. I've been using this formation of fifa and haven't lost a game for a while.

3-1 to the Nix

Come on You Phoenix!!!!

I think a Coveny-Smeltz or Coveny-Felipe works a lot better than Smeltz-Felipe. Felipe has the tendency to just run around like a mad man and leave Smeltz by himself. Smeltz can't really hold the ball up that well either - he's better running onto it.

Ferrante to score!!

interesting formation. if we believe stuff then it must b something like

                                             Moss
                        Rees           Dodd         Lochhead
  Elrich           Ferrante         Brown       Lia??      Daniel
                                   Smeltz        Felipe

'Nix 3-2 I hope.

10 min: Daniel (0-1)
29 min: Archie (1-1)
64 min: Elrich (1-2)
69 min: Smeltz (1-3)
90+4 min: Allsopp (2-3)
  

Gonna be interesting seeing Felipe and Elrich in the same team. It's a pretty attacking formation/team eh.

i'm keen, if he can lock get involved with daniel and felipe there gonna destroy

yeah, if Felipe, Daniel and Elrich play like we know they can, we could win easy. If they don't it's gonna be a hella struggle

Come on Ricky and the lads!

I'm stuck at work   .. anyone know whose doing the radio broadcast from melbourne of the game?

Thanks :)

You could also go to www.sen.com.au for online commentary - I think that's the feed that Radio Sport are taking.

I'm backing Vince Lia to have a top game.  He's better than the mistake that handed Bling the draw last week and am sure he and Ferrante will be out to have good games at their old club and back in Melbourne in front of friends, family and ex-teammates.

Time to step up Vinny....and what better place to do it!!!

C'Mon our Phoenix

Phoenix City!!!!

Intense First Half
