Ive not seen McGree, Yengi or Goodwin try to "walk it in"

Definitely. For now, Yengi has to be the undoubted first choice. Between now and March hopefully gets a good run of games at Portsmouth.
Insane group!
We're actually not in a bad position if you play it out from here. Should we win our next two against Indonesia at home and China away (which seems very doable on paper) and Japan continue on their winning ways by beating Bahrain and Saudi at home, then we'll be at least 4 points ahead of third place (possibly more if other results go our way) going into the final two games of the third round qualifying phase. That's obviously a very good position to be in and means we probably need just one more win to seal our ticket to the World Cup.
Why not give Daggers a go if he's in that kind of form? We seem to have a real issue scoring lately so there's probably no harm in trying someone else, or at least putting him on the bench with the intention of subbing him in.
Must win. Hopefully Sydneysiders show up and do their part.

Next two games are absolutely crucial. Two wins would see us sitting pretty as other results will take care of themselves. A draw away and a win at home, not the end of the world.
Two wins in the next window and we're just about there. We really should be beating teams like Indonesia and China so I'm quietly confident that we'll be in a good position leading into the final window of group qualification games.
WA locked in to host crucial Socceroos World Cup qualifier
The Socceroos’ quest for a sixth-successive FIFA World Cup appearance could be decided in Perth, with Australia set to take on Asian heavyweights Japan at Optus Stadium in their penultimate qualifier next June.

Japan in Perth is a surprise.
Can Optus stadium be set up in rectangular configuration like Marvel stadium can?

Optus has hosted Perth Glory before, as well as the pre season friendlies EPL teams play here occasionally.

I realise that. Can the stands be brought in for a rectangular configuration? Image of Marvel in rectangular config:

Yes but I'm not sure just how much and I think it will depend on ticket demand.

I don't think iv ever seen Marvel Stadium ground been made into a rectangle soccer ground.. I don't think iv seen the seats to be brought in like that
Has happened a fair few times back in the day
Couldn't tell you the last time, but it's been done.When would of the last time it has done that
Even in a sell out Matildas game or Melbourne Storm game in late its never been done to my knowledge
I think ( and I'm not sure ) way when it was built and it was new most likely
, but I'd say it maybe 20 odd years they haven't. Not sure why they don't anymore

They were doing it at Docklands at least a couple of times a year in around 2015/16 - I remember as it was my first couple of years in Melbourne being able to attend a heap of games.
I think the whole mechanism has essentially been abandoned since the AFL took over ownership and the Victory chewed it's leg out of its contract there.

We desperately need him in attack for the Socceroos
Glad that Boyle is playing again.
