Official South Melbourne Hellas thread 🔵⚪

If we bring 7 back it will be enough for us to be competitive, Ethan O Sullivan and Dovison start.

If we can get Lopez, Jankovic, Eliopoulos, Uchida, Tommy G, Pasquali and Bonada back we have a chance, ideally Lampard as well.

Im just thinking why cant we have 2 outfielders on the bench like we did against Auckland? We can just phone it in over in Fiji now.

I would not be exposing our main players to hot and humid conditions when its not necessary.
 
Given the points reset in the Leaders/Challengers Groups phase, there is no point in our best players hanging about in Fiji. Let them enjoy a day off by the beach today and hopefully they are on a plane heading home on Friday.

Agree - We need the spine to be in place - Lopez, Jankovic, Eliopoulos, Pasquali, Giannakopoulos, Uchida, Mikkola, and Bonada to be in the Starting XI on Sunday. The rest can be O'Sullivan, Dovison, Angelatos brothers, Papadimitriou, Killick, Durso and Saristavros.

If we can hold Joe Guest and neutralise him, we have won half the battle.

A win here under these circumstances would be huge. It would allow us to retain a 4 point, and even extend that lead to 5-6 points depending on other results. That provides the buffer for the team to focus on the OFC Pro League in May to collect that $450,000 winners cheque.

Pasquali in front of Eliopoulos means Guest NEVER passes the ball forwards...
 
We will know at Saturday 1pm looking at the starting line up to see who has remained in Fiji and who has returned to Australia. I hope we are sending back 7-8 first team players to play against Oakleigh.

Why doea Sinisa even need to be there?

Yeah I would think he is back here for Sunday... I mean the guy is so committed he literally left the Gully game 10 mins early to rush to the airport... whatever he decides is OK with me... no more second guessing the big Serb, he can do whatever he wants.
 
Sinisa can catch a flight at 4.55pm out of Nadi that would get him back to Melbourne directly, or he'll need to fly via Brisbane and stay overnight and catch a Sunday morning flight to Melbourne.
