between brockie and smith for me.

Back 4 were all solid though.

Lia invisible and Manny didnt have as much input in the game, as has been the case recently.

Ifill and fenton were quiet but disciplined. 

Brockie probably could have done better with a few more chances, as could smith - but both were very dynamic and dangerous

Actually thought brockie didn't have a good game at all. Thought bertos was good though

Lia did a lot of the donkey work, running around marking men. That let Smith move forward, who I voted for.

Lol at all the Totori votes.

 Was Manny playing?

Just putting it out there that the Junior82 household washed all of the supporters kit that we wore to last weekend's match.

This weekend we record our biggest away win.

Coincidence?  I think not.

However someone out there probably didn't wash away the bad mojo totally - causing Totori to try and take on the keeper when he should have passed. Shame on you - you'll know who you are.

Lochead and Bertos for me !

Not gonna be the guy who quotes old threads.. but glad everyone is warming to Leo at RB. Think there were a lot of doubters but he really has done a quality job and in fact seems to be better on attack than last year. Maybe its because he now cant turn around and pass back? Or he has more time to pick up the ball at pace?

Hard to do without a search function!
But yes Leo is doing well.

Happy to admit he has been significantly better than I thought.  Even winner a header or two.  Really need to learn how to hold the line of the back four.

Much better than I expected but still work in progress. Better than Hearfield, not quite as good as Manny yet. So that must make him the 2nd best RB we ever had.....

Hahaha, Totori's in the lead. All he did was run quickly towards goal, and miss that chance. Can't believe he's getting so much love!

Leo's not as physical as Manny but makes it up in other ways, especially speed. He's reading the play a lot better than I expected too.

I think that was my first ever vote for Smith for MOM.

he's defineitely better in that forward role, with two midfileders in behind him, I think we are going to see him much further forward and getting into strong attackving postions

I would say Siggy.
Until Leo has a game like Siggy's against Adelaide.
