your going to be having a lonnnnng 24hrs re hahaha let alone evening possibly.

I know there has been many changes/signings so don't think we now what to really expect form wise in this game let alone the rest.
So many new combos/not alot of training time together its going to be just who clicks well on the night I suppose.
You guys had a dog of a season as we all have seen whereas SO didn't set our NPL on fire either but recovered better finishing 7 in a 16 club comp.
They sure scored well though - 50 GF compared to your 29 !
Both leaky defense's yours 49 SO 38.
This game is a lottery you could say just hope it delivers what we all hope to see - a bloody good game of football !
May the best greek/aussie club win but GO O LYM PIC O LYM PIC hahaha

Mate its been 7 years waiting for the bloody competition to start, 21 years for us to play on the national stage again (outside the cup)... I can wait another 24 hours..... just barely

This is probably the most nervous i've been the night before a game since the 98 grand final.

Will we perform? Will we shit the bed? Will 7-8k turn up or the usual 3-4k? So much unknown going into this.

Lavale definitely is a striker.

Its a disgrace Mesouroni is in the squad and would be an embarrassment if he gets any game time in the championship

Should i go? If i go, who do i support? Decisions decisions...

If he gets gametime that order is coming from above.

Lavale definitely is a striker.

I think Lavale is a versatile player who can play both as a defender and in the forward line but likely he's been put at left back because he was registered as a defender on the South squad list.

Versatile or not, thats a uniquely interesting position combination, i cant recall another striker/left back from memory.

Habib and Kaddour are both away on international duty

Both Bilal Habib and Khoder Kaddour got game time for Somalia and Lebanon respectively off the bench. Likely they'll miss matchday 2 against Moreton City Excelsior as well given that there's only a five day turnaround from their last set of international fixtures.

Why is the Sydney Olympic dude wearing a Roman helmet??? Too close an association with the Italian clubs up there? lol
