I'm not a Finkler fan but he knows how to put the ball away, that's for sure. Thank christ we don't have to watch Sydney any more.

Why do they even open the top tier for these games? Surely be better if bottom 2 tiers were full

Archie snubbed for interview with Del Piero. Crowd boo. Brilliant.


The FFA suck up to Del Piero is a grave embarassment. 

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Awkward interview there!

I really need to see these IPL highlights though so I'm glad Sky just cut off the whole programme.

Zappone has a kid named 'Alessandro'? That explains everything.

Love the idea of him scoring in a yellow stripey but the humping of RoF corner flags fills me with alarm.

Wow. Spectacularly embarrassing.

Poor game. I did not enjoy it

Graham Arnold just found his next coaching gig.

I have seen a lot worse this season. Did not expect to see a fabulous game. It was a knock out game and overall it was OK.

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

Entertaining. But lacking quality. Could have been a lot worse.

Glad the Victory won but would have liked some some penalty drama. They have an ACL game during the week, so big advantage for whomever faces them next week.

I think CCM today, Adelaide haven't really impressed me the last few weeks.

You really must understand the game well.

They get the ball and pass it between their center backs constantly and then when the finally get it forward, they pass it back to the defence again.

Pretentious post of the day! 
It's hardly an entertaining game. Possession is all well and good but at the end of the day you need to push forward at some point. The game is as much about what you do with the ball as it is about holding onto it these days.

For me they are a lot more interesting to watch than CCM, who these days are barely a step up from the old skool CCM of Laurie McKinna.

Also true. Both teams contributing to a bit of a snore fest. It isn't even absorbing to watch like other 0-0 games are. Hopefully that changes as the end of the game nears, it is a finals game after all.

Yeah, have to say I'm hoping it doesn't go to extra time. Just got the 3rd series of Sherlock and Mrs Outpost is very impatient to watch it. As am I actually!

To be fair, think Adelaide have been better in 2nd half. CCM haven't been very good at all. Was just thinking if anyone was going to score it would be Adelaide...then CCM scored...

Outpost - I would just switch to Sherlock. Provided you are talking Benedict Cumberbatch, it is AWESOME

End of an era.  Vinnie - It's over.

All this could have been avoided if Ben Williams had blown for FT nearly 2 minutes ago as he should've.

He is right in part. They didn't do enough with the possession they had to earn the win in the end.

Perhaps, but I  refute that is boring-- not good enough, but not boring.
Being neutral for this game I thought Adelaide were the better side and should have won.
We know how fair football is.
