Wellington Vs Melbourne - Pre Season Match Thread

played in wellington since you guys finished third.

archies first game! hernandez played the full 90min against the glory and scored a ripper from outside the box. and our other brazilian stricker, Love, should join us for the first time.

so, melbourne will win, 2-1.

brebner to get revenge on aloisi for getting elbowed in the grand final last year

ferrante will sh*t himself when he sees muscat charging at him

EDIT: carlos hernandez goal against Perth:

Why do Melbourne fans think that they're awesome because they won the league last year?! Do we need to remind you that you finished 7th 2 years ago! Sydney fans weren't cocky when they won the first grand final. they shut up and played the 2nd season! Remember that Melbourne has lost its 1 single playmaker Fred, so lets just wait and see before we start getting cocky guys! You have to play us twice in the space of 4 weeks remember.

It says that 3rd place in group B has a home game though feverish? Is that not true?

They dont want to spoil Aug 26th - which I think is sensible

Melbournes a good team but brebner ant nothing special. Dno why Ferrante and Lia were dropped from melbourne they were great in the first A League season! So im sure the Phoenix are stoked to sign them. All this tlk ups bllsh*t neone can win on the day and with a big crowd behind the phoenix i would back them over melbourne for that reason.

if the Stadium is no go - how about holding the match in Palmy North?

- The Phoenix have played S. Island, Wellington, Wairarapa - time the Manawatu had a look?

We improved. You should try it sometime.

Yeah, and how'd they go again?

[QUOTE=shabba121]Remember that Melbourne has lost its 1 single playmaker Fred, so lets just wait and see before we start getting cocky guys!.

We did retain both the league's top goalscorers though.

Yeah I think Chch is in pole position because having played a game there already they "have the systems in place" (which I guess will help a lot given the short time frame)

Man the boys (crowd and players) are going to be fired up for the Melbourne game - if purely for the fact that no one likes the f**kers. Ah well, at least they make things interesting.

I live in Melbourne, btw.

Don't take it personally melbourne fan, I think we all just want to be where you are imho...hard as it is to admit. I must say though, signing Hernandez is not replacing Fred. Only once he's performed like him on the field and brought you a championship will he have replaced Fred.

Any reason why you guys haven't done so well in pre-season? Just early season blues or more to it you think?

yeh i spose your right about the fred replacement. the thing is im confident he will be better than fred. ive saw him play live in geelong, although for only 30mins, and he had great composure on the ball, and also overnight he got through the full 90mins, and scored a goal. i know its early but im very happy with this signing.

as to why we havent performed as yet, i think it probably comes down to we have only had one sticker in allsopp. archie and love should now join the team in wellington, or wherever they play. but im not that worried anyway, its only preseason, and i wont be surprised if your boys get up in the coming week.

What the? Olympic Park? that can't be right...we finished higher than Melbourne, are we getting shafted or something?

Permalink

Let's hope it's all just a misunderstanding.

[rant]
I can understand the marketing point about not playing Wellington, but that leaves an awful lot of New Zealand as an option. In fact, quite frankly an awful lot of Australia.

Can't play it here, then go to Tasmania or Darwin you don't hand a free home game and psychological advantage to the side you play in the season opener. They'll get 17,000 at Olympic Park make a couple of hundred grand out of it and we'll get nothing.

Also, while I'm in rant mode what on earth is the story with this sort of news appearing on the A-League site with not a thing on the Phoenix one ? I'd have thought some news on the day today at the stadium and something with as big an impact as this would be all over the club site ?

[/rant]

There you go John, ask Jamie to stick the knife into that.
