I watched the energetic, entertaining game between Auckland and Perth last night, and I also watched the Brisbane vs Nix game the day before. By the final score alone, Perth provided stiff opposition and defended well, while Taggart and Co were a constant threat which gave us a flowing game, especially after the first thirty minutes when Auckland threw everything but the kitchen sink at the visitors, to no avail.
Ruben Zadkovich had a poor season with Brisbane yet they were a better team on the park on Saturday night. Perth had a horror season but they were matching Auckland pretty well last night.
On the strength of viewing those two games, if Perth play a similar game, I expect them to win against us, much like Brisbane did. It is not that Glory and Roar have improved of late; it is that we have deteriorated even worse in the second half of this season.
