The weekend's goalkeeping blooper reel looking quite healthy. Adelaide 2-0 up off the back of two keeping errors, but WSW have just grabbed one back through Milanovic.

2-1 after 25 mins.
02 Nov 09:11
But ex-WSW man Dylan Pierias smashes one in from 30 yards to make it 3-1 to the Reds.
02 Nov 09:19
Cracking game. That's the sort of goal scoring we needed for the derby today. Ah well, maybe in the next one
02 Nov 09:58
Kraev gets one back for WSW. 2-3
02 Nov 10:06
Nice run from Pierias and a tap in makes it 2-4.
02 Nov 10:18
Goalmouth scramble, Borello heads in in for 3-4 with 15 to go.
02 Nov 10:20
Man I wish our derby had been like this! Great game and entertainment.

Reds see it out for win.
FT 3-4
03 Nov 05:02
C'mon the draw.

Germain!! 0-1

Arzani levels us up from the penalty spot, 1-1 
03 Nov 06:32
I miss that guy.

Wow, Reno. 2-1 
03 Nov 09:58
If the highlights are anything to go by I shudder at what the xG must be for Victory!

Wow, Reno. 2-1 

It was a lovely shot by Piscopo, a successful version of Rufer's attempt against the crossbar in R1 against WU.

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

From the ALW

The commentators thought it was a gust of wind that assisted the improbable goal, plus the keeper was out of position as well.

Hopefully it is a good game tonight.

Maybe it is time to give up on the Melbourne Cup Eve fixture? It always seemed to draw below average crowds for the Victory/Nix fixtures & this is another poor turn out. It doesn't seem to have caught the general Melbourne public's imagination over the years. 

This would have been way better in Tarneit but guessing it is at Amy Parks for ease of travel for a night game.  0-0

Yeah I think Western United can't play either Melb City or Victory at Ironbark as the Victoria Police won't allow it, they consider the fixtures high risk.

I saw they were doing a 2 for 1 ticket deal either yesterday or today. This crowd would've looked great in Tarneit

Tilio off after doing a hammy, 0-0
04 Nov 09:07
Think I've been a bit harsh on Western on the basis of their 2 ½ games this season.

They're not flashy or a brilliant watch by any means, but they kind of remind me of where we were at last year - gritty and able to keep in games, and as it is they've got a couple of points on the board for their efforts.

They're better than I thought they would be (I had them for the spoon before a ball was kicked) and their ability to keep in games will serve them well across the season.

Should add that City have a serious injury list at the moment too, and all medium to longer term type injuries too.

Nabbout puts City ahead, 0-1 
04 Nov 09:11 · edited 04 Nov 09:19 · History
Lol, just as I say that they get peeled open on the counter.

1-0 City. Nicely taken goal from Nabbout.
04 Nov 09:14 · edited 04 Nov 09:41 · History
Now Nabbout limps off. The City dressing room looks like a hospital ward. 0-1 
04 Nov 09:24
HUGE crowd for a Melbourne Derby.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

Ouch. Season ending stuff for Nabbout that. If Tilio has done some damage you'd imagine he'll be sitting out 3-4 weeks as well. 
04 Nov 22:02
Kind of a shame we don't play them until January. Nabbout won't be back, but you'd assume that Tilio will.

Nabbout confirmed out for the season with an ACL. Tilio out for 4-6 weeks.

Call me crazy but I think Jets get something from this game tonight. 
08 Nov 08:58
A Milanovic free kick takes a huge deflection and its 1-0. 
08 Nov 09:11
Guess I'm crazy, Milanovic with a brace. 2-0 
08 Nov 09:48
Sapsford makes it 3-0 
08 Nov 09:59
Penalty Jets, 3-1

Penalty WSW, 4-1. Hatty for Milanovic.

Victory vs Roar at 7pm. No Bruno for the Victory, looks very much like he is being frozen out.

Piscopo sets up Velupillay, 1-0
