2016 A-LEAGUE GRAND FINAL DISCUSSION THREAD

[Mr_Bojangles]

SUNDAY 1 MAY 4pm EST.

THE TEAMS

THE VENUE

THE PRIZE

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

So much at stake. The winner will finally have a title while the loser will be 0-3 in Grand Finals.

It's still surreal to me that we're actually hosting a Grand Final in Adelaide. From where we were at round 8 to now... it's unfathomable. Should be a great contest. We will be favourites but not much will separate the sides on gameday. I think we will win. I just think it's our time.

The Wanderers defence clearly wasn't at their best tonight so hopefully we can expose that. Nichols is a possible doubt with injury so if he misses that would be a huge loss for the Wanderers.

I can't wait for the game, especially the atmosphere at AO. I've been waiting for this for 11 years and finally a GF where we don't have to play the Victory . I am so proud of what we have already achieved this season and I think we can do it on Sunday. 2-1.

Neither of these teams will want to loss a third Grand Final and be labeled bridesmaids. Especially the WSW because it will be three losses in four seasons.

But to me it looks like Adelaide are the complete team hard to breakdown they keep the ball well and score when needed and they make it look so easy.

At home and fresh unlike the Wanderers who had to spare every ounce of energy to win their semi final coming from behind and extra-time! it's all fallen in to place for the Reds, can't see any other result other then an Adelaide win!

3-1 Adelaide

Please not Williams or Beath, Please not Williams or Beath,

[FAITH]

pretty confident though wsw are a team that match up well to us.

Hope Wanderers smash those campaigners

Hope Wanderers smash those campaigners

So very salty.

Anyway its our time, it must be. I expect us to nick an early one and settle.

It's handy to have an in form striker at this time of year. Should be a packed house at AO which will be amazing.

COYR

Never a better opportunity for us to win the ultimate prize than this Sunday, God I really hope our squad have one more excellent team performance in them.

Yeah it was, not that I take his word as gospel but it wouldn't surprise me.

 

[chazwazza]

Yeah it was, not that I take his word as gospel but it wouldn't surprise me.

Outside 90 updated to 29k also so take it as true. About 10-12k Wanderers supporters heading over

 

[hey shorty]

It's going to be a huge atmosphere Sunday arvo.

 

[apollo_creed]

10-12k wanderers fans.... great....
Consiering their suspended sentence if one of them lets off a flare, what happens?

 

[Jatz]

Am a casual Wanderers fan (albeit I don't go to the games any more) so I hope we win. Wouldn't begrudge Adelaide though. I'm just happy it's neither of the blue teams!

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Almost tempted to watch this than go see Essendon.

 

[Zidane98]

Adelaide 0 Wanderers 6

 

[Murraj1966]

Muscy better not go to the game. A sniff of Victory in the place and bang its 6-0!

In all seriousness Adelaide will win on Pens after 1-1

 

[chazwazza]

Imagine Wanderers / Leicester title wins. If Carlton win you'll never have a better year
