Chopping and changing is starting a player who has only been here for a week, and playing with a formation different from that which was employed for the majority of the pre-season.

    Anyway that is my opinion, the real interest is how GVE sees it. It will be a big surprise if he starts with exactly the same team, I can see him making at least 1 or 2 changes.
    One or two changes would be fair. That's discounting the enforced change as well. And you are right - they all had a decent run and opportunity in pre-season to stake a claim.

    I think he will change, which I reflected in my team prediction, but it's just another side of the coin to consider - one that hasn't been introduced to the discussion so far.

    Apparently 22,000 tickets have been sold for this game, that doesn't include their 8000members.

    30,000 appears likely.

    from reports in the paper looks as though ribs will be ignored again for selection, yet another waste of an import by Dutchy yet again.

    really looking forward to his so called up-tempo entertaining style of football, like he so religiously talks about, on the weekend against Adelaide we looked as though we were the ones battling jet-lag and had travelled half-way around the world.

    Sydney 8-0.

    GvE to try some experimental 5-6-4 formation before being told he can only have 11 on the pitch. Settles on the completely untried 4-3-2-1 with Kanta, Joe B and Pepper playing as holding midfielders to nullify ADP. Will confuse high tempo, short passing from the back with high passing from the back, short temper game plan. Passing will therefore be from the back, high balls from Tarago and Mitchell with the occasional long ball from Wheelhouse into the channels for Heskey. Heskey to throw his hands up in the air (wave em around like he just don't care) everytime we play a ball into the channels expecting him to chase or hoof a high ball a) over his head or b) well short of him due to strong headwind. RubeZ to see red as a result of short temper instructions.

    Deans out.

    Read some conflicting reports today. some said 13,000 tickets others said 11,300.

    Maybe they got 20,000 'likes' on their Facebook page, and once all those dudes are finished finding Kony, legalizing gay marriage and sacking Alan Jones, they will come down for a look.

    Crowd 24k tops.

    why didn't this fella just call ticketek and ask how their PAX relates to crowds?

    not that I'm against doing the simple analysis, it's just you often see engineers do this sort of analysis when there's a more accurate and easier way
