LOL at the scarves being confused with the Magpies (i.e. Collingwood/KP's team).

What is the TV coverage for this game? Do we have anything??

8.30pm on Monday, Sky Sports 2.
One of the players families is looking for coverage.
Anyone got an online link, a Justin source or anything ?
Paston
Reid Nelsen Smith
Brown Elliott
Bertos Smeltz/Mac Lochhead
Killen Smeltz/Wood
which is a very strong lineup imo, even if Smeltz misses out.
after reading/watching the news lately it's looking like
Quite rough on the Sea-monster and Vicelich, the above line-up. We have 5 quality defenders, in fact, we're stronger in defence than anywhere else on the park so it seems a huge waste not to utilize it.

Ricki already knows what Siggy and Vicelich can do, this game is about trying out these players in those roles, I also think Reid is gonna start over Siggy anyway tbh, unless we opt for a 442 then Reid will be the one pushed right, but even then Siggy will probably be behind Vicelich at CB. unless....

But then you will say it's harsh on Brown..... unfortunately someone is always going to miss out, that is a good thing, plus what a bench is for.
I can't afford any all whites gear (and I doubt I can find any in Melbs) so will be the odd one out on Monday I think - may be forced to freeze my ass off in a white adidas t shirt
if still in NZ might I suggest a white $7.50 thermal from the Warehouse (50% off) and if really keen could go for the long johns aswell....

Have to wonder why they selected Boyens, if they go with this line up. We have two players covering that back three, but how much genuine cover do we have for Lochead or Bertos? Really none for Lochy right?
Valeo is in Aus.And Mate, there are some NZ World Cup Scarves in Rebel Sport in town (Can't name the street)$AU24, might be worth a look?
Really? Didn't think they would stock anything. White or black?

Schwarzer out. Chippers and Kewell too.

Kewell is injured more often than he isnt,no surprises there.

Pax 42,227 from yesterday. Not sure how accurate it is.
Meanwhile the MCG is packed for tonight's AFL top of the table clash!

I have a spare ticket, my friend pulled out, would accept $20 AUD, which is half the ticket price

pretty sure there'll be a feed or two on justin.tv - i watched a couple of A-league playoff games on there, so would imagine someone will stream this.
if they are based in the US, then one source i found said the fifa.com website is showing it (but i have my doubts).
failing that, Radio sport online
I think they're in Denmark
I used this link to watch Winston, so should have the game and be okay for anyone.

No, DS keeps us in our submissive and humble place didn't ya know?
Lucky he told us who Collingwood are, us poor uneducated kiwi's would have no idea.

Jesus wept, as a Hawks follower, I can't imagine anything worse than being mistaken for a Pies follower. But it would be lulzy if the All Whites adopted a fine AFL tradition and sang "Heading For The Top" in the changing rooms if they win.
I would even like to see Reid slot into Eliiot or Browns position. Reid, Wood and Smith have to start, and really hope Clapham gets on early in the second half.
Been in Melbourne since Thursday, staying till thursday.
Got tix for the all whites game in NZ section breaking the girlfriend into a proper football game finally hah she was keen as to come over.
Should be fooking awesome, and with those odds would be mad not to put a lazy tenner on the AWs!

Sigmund and Vicelich are both quality when talking about NZ Football.
Saw a bunch of Socceroo's were in a TAB this afternoon.
I, of course, was only walking past.
