Australia Cup Rnd of 16 vs Melbourne City | Wed 17th Aug | 9:30pm | YouTube

Great first touch turn and finish. We have missed that, goals from nothing.

Kraev looks like he's got a heck of a lot of pace in his legs. Composed vision in the box too. Perfect pass to Kosta for the goal. 

Great little goal. Good to see some speed going forward. Excellent signs. Kraev looks like he's got a bit of toe for a big lad too!

Onya, Jamieson... exactly what I expected from Mr Popular

There were at least 2 rebounds they fell for us after that... clutching at straws.

Don't forget who got the move forward started... Pennington 

 Dunno what the commentators are talking about, we're mincing them 

Bahaha the It's a fudgeing foul came through the stream

Ben Old is having a storming game too. Looks like he's been in the gym something fierce... Really looks like he's bulked out a bit this year - Holding his own on the ball and maybe a touch more pace as well. Exciting development.👏

Excellent skills from Kraev to get it back into the box (twice)

Maybe it’s the camera angle but he was towering over Tilio, and I always thought Old was small.

Kraev has been very involved in most attacks so far, good to see it even in his first proper appearance.

Tilio is just pissant to be fair mate 😂

FUCK ME THAT WAS NICE. Great string of play leading up too!

You just knew Waine would score.

Now that's a great striker's goal.

Well blow me down if I haven't just bougut a one way fair aboard the waine train! Choo bloody choo lads let's get this!

Get in Waino!!!!! Wahooo!!!

Yeeeeeeeea Waino traino

That. Was. Lovely.
🚂🚂🚂

Ben Old again, nice vision to find Sutton on the left there too.

This is very promising lads!

This season is Waino's season. Our new #9 better be ready for competition for a starting spot

all aboard!
2-0, what do the TAB know?

What a header from Waine, jeez - Curtis Good could have just pushed him off, and yet here we are, 0:2.

So far Elliot is not doing too badly out there (in Payne's absence). That's the bonus of having this camera angle - we can see this up close!

counter attack footy frustrating City into silly fouls, We are simply finishing our chances.

Well that was an excellent first half.

Let's see how they handle the second half.  I did like how even at the end we looked like we were trying to score more.  Hopefully that carries through.  Nothing loses a win like packing up shop when you get a goal up.

Has Kurt Ams left his cards at home today? A few cynical & late hits from city gone unpunished that half. City with 66% possession but still out fouling us 9-1

Well what a nice half. We just look... Like a team! Solid, well organised, and with pace and flair up front. Let's not forget Ball isn't there, we haven't seen Yasse and there's potentially another striker to be signed soon. Feeling quite optimistic 

Freaking gorgeous. Bring it home boys. Horrible feeling Kraev is guna get kicked all year and get fudge all protection. Oscar van Hattum been teaching Ben Waine how to score headers!

Lovely football from the lads, I'm liking the style and build up from us in particular, it's nothing flashy, just pretty patient, but we're not afraid to go direct in order to mix it up. Keeps the opposition on their toes for sure and nullifies a good press if we get it right, ultimately putting their defenders in two minds as to what's coming and making it hard for them to read the game. 

For all of City's possession they have offered bugger all up front. Callan Elliot has been good in keeping Tilio in his back pocket, and Old has been outstanding. My MotM as it currently stands. In fact all the Kiwi lads look fired up and tuned into this one. Honorable mention for Kraev too who has been doing some good stuff.

3 halves of football into the season, 6 goals scored and 0 conceded. Ya love to see it!

Unnecessary attack on someone else fandom.

Remember we are all in this together.  Tearing down someone's love of a team in a different sport shouldn't enrich your life in any way, and definitely has no impact on the Nix or the season ahead.  

To quote many drunk people, "Come On You Nix"

Odd's are that despite a 12-4 foul count, that we'll be the first to cop a card...

It hurts to admit how much that rings true.

It hasn't been that scrappy, but given City is 2 down I imagine it will soon.

Called it.
