Can't blame Moss for that one. We just didn't shut Novillo down at all. You can't give someone that much space in the box.

Nice yellow Siggy, really firing the troops up there. 

No. Its a dumb yellow for a CB. Getting a yellow for something you are not involved in and then you can't make a tackle again is dumb.

It is called having some passion. Something this team is lacking

Well, that looks like season over.  I think we lack mental toughness.  Once we had reached the "low" goal that was set we have switched off.  I dont think this season was one we, or the team should think is acceptable,  far from it.

C'mon guys, please switch on.  We can comeback from here.

very little which is why he is on bench.  Real question is why no more subs...

Agreed,  Siggy and Boxall have passion,  a few of our (star) players need to take a leaf out of their book

Melb v Melb semi final would be FFA dream come true rather than Melb v Wgtn.  

Should have put money on Melbourne City to win.  Least I would have got something out of this game.

Starting one of Fenton and Lia I understand, but not sure why both of them started to be honest.

Easy in hindsight I suppose. Lia has been good, Fenton hasn't offered much.

He has had one of his better games  but I would have played A-Rod. Today isn't on Lia.

Why not chuck Hicks in there. A-Rod does nothing for me on attack

Our movement off the ball has been about the worst i;ve seen this season.  The player on the ball has just stopped at times waiting for someone to move.

To say players have lost because they don't care or aren't passionate is hugely unfair. Have people never done poorly at something they cared a lot about?

Fenton in midfield hasn't worked at all.  Surprised they haven't taken Boxall off

I have been out of the country for a while and have missed some games. Must admit I was a little shocked to see three of our I,ports on the bench at the beginning.

So you would have dropped Burns? The players who haven't played well have been some of our best. A-Rod or Cunningham started would have changed little.

Of course everyone has an off day from time to time,  however these are professional players and they have been having an "Off Day" for 2 months

worked once in second half and now seems to be the panacea...but we have lately  been found out for "not a striker".

Fenton has actually done a lot better at the back recently. Also Muscat and Boxall aren't great at getting forward so we haven't had much support on attack at all.
