Would love to see Piscopo come back, him and Davilla were beginning to look a real handful together.
Interested to see how the Hemed and Waine partnership continues to develop as well. Has a nix player ever got 5 goals in 5 matches?

I don't think so. "Waine became only the fourth Phoenix player, after Jeremy Brockie, Roy Krishna and Ulises Davila, to net in four consecutive games."
Surely they would have mentioned if he was within a goal from the current record holder. How great would it be for him to get the record though? And the way he's been playing, I wouldn't put it past him!

Not in five consecutive games, no. Would be pretty special if it's a local teen who gets the club record. Also would put him in serious contention for the overall A-League record which I believe is six in a row

Interestingly despite the score Brisbane were loose at times, and the commentators spoke about them playing us this weekend and that we might tear them apart if loose against us.

i think with the current back 4, Fenton, Taylor, Payne, and McGarry/Sutton we are looking pretty solid and not terribly likely to concede the silly set piece goals we were early on. Up front with Waine, Hemed and Davila we are always likely to get one or two across the line. All we need to do is sort our midfield control out and we can beat anyone. Personally I prefer the Devlin/Lewis combo and hopefully Piscopo can find a spot on the bench this week as he will be devastating against tiring legs.
Really need Piscopo for this game to take some of the creativity responsibilities off Davila. Brisbane are likely to bully Davila all game, they're almost as dirty as the snakes
Watched the game last night, even with 10 the Mariners dominated Brisbane... their coach was on the sideline kicking the signs over he was that frustrated.
The goals at the end came against the run of play, as did the second which was a sloppy effort by the goalie.
Based on what I saw, I'd expect us to dominate the Roar. They looked very average. CCM just looked devoid of ideas or a player like Davilla to make things happen.
Slight change of direction (but on topic) - any recommendations for places in Wgtn to watch on Saturday night. I know its the official venue, but my experiences at the Bristol have not been good (including once when the game was not on - becuase of a UFC event). Have watched one in silence at Fortune Favours (at least the beer was good). Back to future at the Backbencher? Does a group gather at Four Kings?

Four Kings is the best bet, for sure. Bristol has been a disappointment this season, to say the least.
Last night's 0-0 draw between Adelaide and the Snakes is a good result for us. Makes me feel a bit better that Adelaide couldn't score against a 10 man Western either. Toure should be suspended for the game next Friday as well
I remember watching Smeltzy and Coveny playing up front and thinking that was proper football. Have we had any other famous strike partnerships? Krishna and Burns, though they were both more roving forwards than 9s. Merrick had a false nine system. Anyway - Hemed and Waine are the real deal, hoping for more from them today! Piscopo off the bench for Ball? I mean that chat is about Reno, but Sotirio has made the difference in a couple of games now too! Who’s marking Champness? Three more points please!
