Great save by Scott to deny Hall. 0-0

The Jets are doing well on defense, surprisingly

Fairly pathetic dive from Gillion 


30 Nov 04:46
So why do you not get booked for a blatant dive like that? Someone please explain. This should at least be a yellow. In my book I'd like to see a red given with a 2 game suspension. Only then will this sort or crap stop

Good energy from the Port. 

Corica out!

Agreed, was a pathetically embarrassing dive. I was certain a couple of years back they started booking players more for diving? Or did I imagine that?

AFC well on top, they just can't all that many create high quality chances. 0-0

Still covered by their first big decision amnesty! Included the de Vries pen, a number of yellows…

Jets just crowding the box and don’t wanna leave.

There was contact, so not a dive. He is a great dribbler, like how he takes them on, only needs to improve final pass/ cross and he’ll be chased after

Jets having to do a lot of defending in that first half - surely at some point AFC will find a way through, although they haven't created many great chances

First weather affected game and it looks like 10k max in attendance. 

Hasn't been much in the game to be honest though. Both sides struggling with the slick conditions, and the wide players in particular have been pretty anonymous all up.

So if there's contact, why did the ref not give a pen? It's got to be either this or that

Also is Anchor now sponsoring Sky/the A-League as well? Or are Sky just happy to give AFC sponsors some extra free air time? (Talking about those milk cartons on the pundits desk)

Because he didn’t have the ball, but the contact upended him.

I mean Ingham won the ball, so wouldn’t have been a pen regardless. He should have been booked for rolling about like a Twit.

First minutes for Max Mata right?

No idea but if The Port start belting out a rendition of 'Anchor Me', then we might need to start asking questions.

0-0

Are streaming? Their apps seems to play ads during games which are not actually in the feed. You can exit out of the stream when they start & re-start it and the ads won't be there.

Fudgesake. That was a good finish. 
30 Nov 05:41
What a strike, but Boooo!!
30 Nov 05:41
Boooooooooooo, AFC take the lead. 1-0
30 Nov 05:42
Knew it had to happen at some point
30 Nov 05:42
Nice volley
30 Nov 05:43
That was coming… As much as we dislike them, I think their game management is superb so far, credit to Corica
30 Nov 05:43
God sake. The most hardship those jafas have experienced so far is having to watch in the rain lmao
30 Nov 05:45
Ooph, thought that was the equaliser for a moment
30 Nov 05:45
It was coming but Auckland are terrible at taking opportunities. Maybe it’ll gel soon but the coaches need to be looking at how to convert more chances.

Great finish from the man though. Full credit to him.

You're joking

De Vries seals it after some chaos in the box, 2-0
30 Nov 05:46
And another 2-0
30 Nov 05:47
Sakes. Hopefully offside.
30 Nov 05:49
Reckon Auckland will score a third

I'm sorry but I swear to fudgeing God if they pick up their first silverware before us by winning the premiers plate in their first season, especially after how close we were last season.
30 Nov 05:57
Five clean sheets in a row.

This team is title material.

Three for me, and two for them.

we have to do them next week to show it can be done.
