If i was to to be a betting man i would tip Mariners.
But i want the Jets to win, sorry dude.
Think it will be 1-1 at FT then Mariners to clinch 2-1
Joel Grifiths to score first.

why say sorry?? i think you’re crazy – newcastle are bogans!

i reckon you might be about right with the score.

aloisi and petrovski will score the mariners 2.

it would be great to see matt simon score his first competition goal of the season!!

here’s my new tip.

1-1 at full time
joel griffiths (jets)
john aloisi (mariners)

2-2 at the end of extra time
adam griffiths (jets)
sasho petroski (mariners)

And then a penalty shoot-out!!!

So it will come down to a battle between the two best keepers in the A-League – Danny Vukovic (Mariners) and Ante Covic (Jets). And Vukovic will be the hero for the Mariners who will win 4-3 on penalties.

I’m not about to go to a bookie to place this bet, but if I’m right will someone give me some money??

petrovski is a choker
it wont go to penalties.
If your prediction happens I will buy you lunch in Newtown on Wednesday, I got your lunch off then.
How does that sound (lunch at college is good, but always good to have some thai for a change)
