Lets make some educated picks
Lets make some educated picks
We have seen the make up of the teams so lets get your educated
desicion and why you have picked them! My picks are:
Melbourne Victory ( recruited well with Hernandez and Milicevic, while maintaining the nucleus of last year)
Adeliede ( have a very very strong team)
Queensland (i think 3rd to 7th will be close but they have tiatto, milicich and moore to get them through)
Sydney FC (contrary to others opinions this team will still be good, on paper they are still superb but lack depth)
Phoenix (im being conservative, with Smeltzy flying, George to come, Cleberson marshalling the troops at the back and Felipe and Daniel up to their tricks, the sky is the limit for the nix!!)
Central Coast (well drilled squad but lack the flair to finish higher)
Perth (recruited well, look ok, just dont think they have the goods in defence)
Newcastle (average team i dont care what anyone says)
Wat u boys reckon?

Wat u boys reckon?
- Tards - I'll await judgement on Milicevic as I suspect
they will miss Leijer, but still first.
- Cakes - The big question is whether Skeletor is up the job as coach when the pressure goes on.
- Salty Dogs - Injury ridden last year, but Gumprecht, Pondeljak, Sasho and a fit Mrdja should fix last years problems in front of goal.
Then I reckon it's wide open for 4th onwards (yes, a cop out) in no particular order.
- Planes - will miss Carle, he was Talismanic for them. A chance van Egmond could be found out after hype and adrenalin got them up last season, depends how the imports work out for them.
- Clogs - some good players, and Lynch looks to be firing early but they still have Farina in charge and he's average with a capital A.
- Bling - Juninho ain't going to save them. Despite what Foster will tell you Branko is no coaching messiah. If they lose Spike they will be screwed.
- Perth - Hard to tell Pre-Season cup form is special and they had some wretched luck last year. If they get on a losing streak they will be stuffed but if they start well they'll keep rolling along.
- Us - God knows. Still say I'll be happy with 7th.

Us coming in last?
That could make a Tui sign, i think we have far too much depth, class and competition for places to come last!
Look at the starting lineup from the victory game:
Moss, Christie, Lochhead, Dodd, Cleberson, Old, Ferrante, Daniel,Aloisi, Smeltz, Coveny
We beat Melbourne who were completely at full strength. Add a fully fit Campos , George , Brown, O'Dor, Johnsen, Brownlee ,Paston and Lia and you have 19 players competing for 11 spots and all of them are in the running for them.
You are entitled to your opinion but just like i said before the sydney game, we can win, and win anything.

Final table will be:
Adelaide United
Melbourne Victory
Wellington Phoenix
Queensland Roar
Sydney FC
Central Coast Mariners
Newcastle Jets
Perth Glory
Perth will be off the pace but gaps between others will be tight. Expect no dominant side this time round.
