Adelaide having a good spell here.


01 Nov 04:45
And out of  nowhere... it's 1-1.
01 Nov 04:47
Jovanovic levels us up just before half time. He is a fantastic young player. 1-1 
01 Nov 04:59
Jessie Randall is some player. AFC look slick but they will be unhappy at 1-1 at half time. Cosgrove got the goal but i think he was trying to head back across the goal. Hes got a very poor touch. Unusual signing by AFC

Sakai limps off, maybe a doubt for next Saturday? 0-0

Only following commentary for this one, but how'd that happen? Heavy challenge?

Just getting up and down the pitch. Didn't see anything nasty happen to him.

Hamstring. Off the ball.

What’s happened with the Auckland defense there for the goal? He’s skipped past two- was it both CBs? Or was it Elliot and Hall?

Smart there from Brimmer. Take the foul and try and reset. 

Edit: and that hanging ball at the back post was Rogerson’s last season. Just an example of them not quite on the same wave length yet.

Also not sure  why Adelaide had one of their shorter players marking him.

Yea I'd probably play him up front as All Whites striker in absence of Wood 
01 Nov 05:20
Must be great to be a Risdon or a Goodwin or any Aussie golden child. 2 meters from the ball studs into ankle and it’s not even a foul.


01 Nov 05:37
Yes, Mr Verstaete, Cleevers is one of the worst refs in the competition, correct, and he does play favourites.


01 Nov 05:39
AFC take the lead with 10 mins to go, 2-1
01 Nov 05:56
Both teams not great. Surprised that Adelaide couldn't find a 2nd goal in that. AFC won't care though 
I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.

If we win tmr.  Then the Derby.  Top of the table clash.  Means ticket sales will be like selling ice cream to Egyptians.
01 Nov 05:58
Closed out solidly. Perhaps they just missed a bit of experience when Adelaide came at them? Gallegos, Howieson and Rogerson added some composure. 
Good shift Cam Elliot.

SS3 for Jets vs Sydney 
01 Nov 06:08
Sydney all over the Jets. Should be 1 up but their CB headed into the crossbar. 0-0 
01 Nov 06:09
Jets go up the other end and scores against the run of play. 1-0

Nice finish by Ben Gibson. 
01 Nov 06:12
Sydney hit straight back, 1-1 
01 Nov 07:19 · edited 01 Nov 07:19 · History
Now 3-1 to  Sydney! 
All three to Toure. The last two similar counters carried through the centre before releasing Toure on the left. 

Still, 30 minutes to go and this is a team with belief so far the Jets. 


01 Nov 07:19
Toure gets a hatty, 1-3.

Jets keep turning the ball over with their fullbacks high & it ends with a 3 attacker vs 2 CBs.
01 Nov 07:34
Wood makes it 1-4
01 Nov 07:35
Newcastle created several great chances for 3-2, at 4-1 surely it’s goodnight nurse for Mark Milligan and his young gun slingers.


01 Nov 08:43
Macarthur score after 90 seconds!! 1-0
01 Nov 10:24
Kosta with an assist, MAC 1 WSW 1
07 Nov 10:33
Things aren't going so well for WSW, lost 2 zip to Adelaide. 
07 Nov 12:59
Poor Perth, you have to feel for their fans. 

Heading for the wooden spoon for the third season in a row unless their new head coach is quality, can turn things around.

I think I heard rumors that Kisnorbo and Aloisi could be in the running.
07 Nov 20:44
Think i saw somewhere Aloisi said he didnt want it.

Couple interesting stats that I have only come aware of this week.

Victory haven't scored a goal at Amy Parks for 6 hours and 42 mins now.

And the only goals the Roar have conceded so far this season, are the two we scored vs them.
13 Nov 04:27 · edited 13 Nov 04:27 · History
Call it the 'Greek effect' but Valkanis is going to make sure the Roar are tough to score against.

I wouldn't be rushing to buy a ticket to the Auckland v Brissy game post the FIFA break, or any Roar game for that matter this season.

https://brisbaneroar.com.au/news/roar-boss-highlights-key-issue-we-dont-talk-a-lot-about-in-this-country/

However, despite his side scoring three goals in the dominant victory over the Jets, Valkanis was more impressed with the way in which the Roar were able to completely nullify the opposition when it came to creating any real, clear-cut chances as they secured not just their second win of the season, but also their third clean sheet.

“But I’ve learned in Europe you need to keep clean sheets.

Adelaide destroyed Melbourne City and they play us next, just great.
22 Nov 00:31 · edited 22 Nov 00:32 · History
That only because they had ten men. We all know what happens when you're playing with ten men!

Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

22 Nov 07:23
5 goals already with WSW CCM game. 
22 Nov 08:04
CCM lose, but they had urgency and intensity to try for a third goal to draw the match.  Exactly what our team was missing. 

Big blue next
22 Nov 08:20
C'mon Sydney
22 Nov 08:37
Great crowd in.
