^This!
Mitchell & Neville would struggle to get that right.
Ah, but Branko had us playing NBN and NEWFM teams. Playing Zone League teams are better preparation for a professional league than NBN teams....Originally Posted by 380

we're building up too fast. should be starting with the under 6's all-star team. nice easy game to build from, but they'll be tough opposition none the less and good practice for our boys.
I bet GVE would be out coached by the U6's all star team.
GVE would be out coached by a coach who was under 6 ffs.
i've been thinking about these games vs plattsy and uni..
the only explanation i can muster is they are continuing the whole 6aside thing. so the jerks will run out with 6 players, and plattsy/uni will have a full squad, on a full sized field.
Does it really matter who they are playing at this time of pre season??
Season is still over 4 months away. As long as they do enough fitness and tactical work pre season and play some quality opponents to offer a decent contest closer to the season does it really matter if they have a meaningless kick around against some Zone sides???
I can't see the problem either - training just started and a hitout against these sort of teams is better than umpteen intra club trials and 6 a sides.
As long as it ramps up to A-League level with time to spare it all looks good to me.
i reckon an intra club trial would be better.
inferior opp breeds bad habits and gives false confidence. Start with Bayern get beat 24-0 then play perth lose 3-0 doesnt feel so bad then.
Don't forget we are the undisputed kings of pre season friendlies with what 2 undefeated campaigns. Maybe the Egg wishes to solidify this record!!!
I agree playing stronger opponents where possible is best option. End of the day our blokes need confidence. Don't forget we are shit anyways. If we are taking any degree of false confidence from these outings then the players need their heads read.
I ain't overtly worried that we are playing these teams. What will irritate me is if we ain't playing at least minimum 4 games against HAL opponents or the mythical foreign teams HSG have promised and failed to deliver
We don't want to play too many HAL teams they're likely to work out our TACTICS before season start
I hope he likes prison food.......and penis
A wise man once told me "if you wander down the same road you end up in the same spot".
I didn't get a chance to have him explain it as he took a different path and I never saw him again.
I guess there's something in that for all of us.
As if they don't already know themWe don't want to play too many HAL teams they're likely to work out our TACTICS before season start
we'd probably beat bayern 1-0 from a shinned jesic volley and then lose to perth 24-0
**** I could have sworn we had of gotten rid of that hack> Must have been imagining it.
Maybe they are planning on playing Plattsburgh and Uni at the same time.
Actually may not be too bad an idea. Would mean that our players would have to be a lot quicker on the ball.
Or Biraz would just be pumping long balls all game.
