Any recommendations on good streaming service to watch A league ? ... For the away games have been using live commentary but with the way Phoenix going pretty keen to watch not just listen / read for the upcoming away games.

This, and berisha out, is massive for us. Franjic and Berisha in particular always seem to have good games against us.

3 points? Me reckons so...

Nothing from Fox sports about these guys and the latest from the TAB is that Roar are $1.45, so it sounds bullshit to me.

Franjic definitely out, he's been left out of the squad.
The other two have injury concerns and will be assessed tomorrow as to whether they can play or now.

Beathy! Haven't seen him at all this season. Missed him. 

If Franjic, McKay and Miller are out then shit, we might be a good shot.

Stout fellow!  
I have one "spare" from last week (probably has a best before date as well) which I will donate to the cause.

At this stage only Franjic has been ruled out and is not in the squad. McKay and Miller have been named but could still be omitted of course.

Bit disappointed Ridenton is out - needs consistent game time and I think he will do well for us.

Hoping we see Rufer on the bench but can see Ernie being cautious in his selections. Italiano, Caira, Leo, Harry.


+1 more. 5 on the bench now. Rufer?

Whoops, forgot about that. Would give room for him, yay. Other options would be Shermy or Adams.

The basis of a good starting eleven is still there and remember we beat Western Sydney without Carlos. Brisbanes last three games have seen two losses and 0-0 draw with Perth. We're well in this.

Have they all been brought over to Aus? I guess whoever he chooses might show what Ernie's intent is.
Rufer - Attacking 
Adams, Shermy - defensive

It would be an extremely defensive bench if you had Caira, Bertos and either Adams or Shermy along with Krishna. Since Ernie has at times gone with no defenders on his bench I would be surprised to see Rufer not make the squad. Might not make it onto the field, but if we are behind in the latter stages suspect he will make his debut. I think they were only taking match squad players over so someone should know by now.

Nice feeling. Not a game I expect us to win at all (of all remaining fixtures). Agree, chance to blood a newie or two like Rufer if we get behind. Nothing to lose.

Interestingly Ernie also said... 

Coach Ernie Merrick says he will replace Hernandez with either Stein Huysegems or Jason Hicks.

"That decision I'll be making overnight. It's good that we have two players to choose from, so Jason Hicks and Stein. We won't reveal it so we don't help the opposition too much, but both have shown they can play the role very well."

which is a little different to what he said last time.
