R1 also rans' games - #F3Derby #BlingDerby

Melbourne will be hard to beat at home.

No comment until I see our game on Sunday.

Good finish Mark Bridge.

HT 3-1

Tards looking ominous.

Melbourne look the business on attack

It's fair to note that WSW are missing Spiranovic, Topor-Stanley and Adeleke in defence. Then Castelen and Saba are both on the bench. It is fair to say that their depth isn't what it was this season and they will probably struggle with having to play so many fixtures.

i want to see WSW's new lads

It's a mystery to me how Golec is still an A League player. One of the dumbest defenders I've ever seen.

Kosta subbed. Not worth watching anymore.

wsw fans appear to be chanting for themselves, what a failure of a group.

pretty damn quick

sig, dura, doyle, muscat will have their work cracked out in that game

I still don't know whether or not to admire a supporters group who chants like that when they get well beaten.

I admire them well done RBB. I hope other groups admire us as well.

I'm a fan of the signage that penned Muscat into the technical area.

Victory look scarily good, though it is too early to draw anything from it other than they will be a hard team to beat this year. They were all over WSW, who looked a shadow of what they did last season. Suspect that has something to do with ACL and national team duties though.

But Melbourne's front four of Archie and Kosta to the sides of Berisha, with Finkler in behind is for me the most threatening attack in the league. Add in Ben Khalfallah as well who looked pretty handy in the minutes he got. Maybe even Pain if he gets over his nerves and improves his touch.

They also looked a massive danger on set pieces, some of their corners were stunning to watch, and Finkler's free kick to De Pierre was a a class above (albeit Leijer took out Golec and dubiously claimed to be standing his ground).

I just feel like some of them care more about their rbb group then their team or the game. I mean chanting 'RBB ole ole, RBB ole ole' seems a bit sad and egotistical. Supporters groups arn't there to cheer and support themselves, they are there to support the team. 

That's sort of how I feel. Their support is amazing and they out chanted Northern Terrace but I don't understand why a supporter's group would turn their backs on the game. I like chanting and supporting my team but I also enjoy actually watching the game. Chanting non stop for 90 minutes creates an amazing atmosphere but I don't think I would enjoy being part of it.

Yeah and their main chant is something like "We're from the streets of western sydney home of the RBB (RBB)"

Too bad yellow fever has so many syllables, hard to build a chant around. And YF has too few. 

Just have to keep chanting for the team I'm afraid.

Strange call this

Flores and Jeronimo both on the bench for the Jets ##CCMvNEW

Senegalese Central Coast striker looks the part - Mane I believe

Roux has been terrible

Mane looks a handful

These two teams look a class below the Victory though

Steel looks rusty.

losing the will to live. 

Ugh, Rose blew that chance horribly.

Feels like we are watching the battle for the spoon already

never understood why people like CCM. Boringest team ever.

Glad that abortion is over.

Come on Citeh!

Regan whinged but he needed to be a lot stronger there. Fair goal, the most boringest team ever takes the points.

pretty sure duke was offside the whole time aswell

Because by and large they are inoffensive.

true, NZers love that.

damn, no Smeltz

It will be interesting to see how young George Blackwood goes.

injured again! he is really having a rough time with his body recently

The new Harry Kewell.
