If Lochies crosses were on song we would have have a zillion chances. He was making some good runs, but the crosses were mainly shockers

Just watched the reply and it confirmed McKain as easily the best Nix player on the paddock

Also confirmed Daniel can only play 45 at the most

Muscat for me he was outstanding and even laid on the beautiful cross field ball for the goal.

McKain a close second did Brown's work after he'd got sent off and even provided a lot of the go forward and to be frank he was doing a lot of Brown's work before he got sent off as well.

Costa was great particularly after he scored the goal that seemed to give him a boost in confidence and he was a real handful for the balance of the game.

Daniel provided a bit of quality and showed what we'd been missing by leaving him on the bench most of the season.

Only negatives were another lacklustre display from Lochead. We really need another left back to challenge him as he has been an underperformer most of the season and needs a bit of competition for his spot and the deadball delivery from free kicks by Bertos is woeful.
 
Is right. Pretty much sums it up for me. Well said!

Voted for Siggy. Had a superb game. McKain was very good too.
And big ups to Costa for the goal.

McKain is so much better than Brown that it's not funny. You wouldn't even know Brown was on the pitch in that game. Unless he got sent off for cutting McKain in half with a well-timed 'tackle'.

Brown is being played out of position. That does not help

So was McKain earlier in the season, but you could still see a bit of class about him.
Don't get me wrong, love Timmo and his attitude, but as a footballer he's a long way from McKain.

What we've got is Brown and McKain who compliment each other. The two of them on the field is working well.
Maybe we'll be lucky to see it again this season if Bertos' comments on stuff are fulfilled

Muscat can play left then you start Dura on the right!

oh and McKain for me as he's just class

Well Brown is more consistent and probably a better passer. Plus Brown is a CM and McKain is a DM.

Brown is consistently average. So that's something I guess. And he's a terrible passer.

Brown needs to show less heart and more head imo.

it's Manny's fault for calling him the hardest player in the team in the Feverish interview

looking at the ratings above for man of the match against Adelaide it does beg the question." where we all watching the same match?"  the votes for man of the match went from several candidates to an obvious "not a hope in hell"  does scoring a goal make you man of the match? or coming on to play 20 seconds at the end of the game?   maybe there is a need to add a certain amount of realism to the choice and not just the use of a blindfold and a pin.......
