Got lucky.

But in such things sometimes all you need is Luck.

Hopefully we can build on this.

Dura outstanding

All go back to 68 mins when he is defending against 3 and comes up with an interception. Quality.

Still 1 point away from a Home Final!

Perth can go above us on Goal Difference if they beat CCM.

a good result, I would have enjoyed the game more if I didnt support one of the team. End to end stuff and to be honest we played not bad, lots of commitment just some of our passing was a little off today

That'll do. Not the best result, but much better than a loss. We are 5 points ahead of 5th place, and 3 ahead of Perth. Heart could have been just 2 points behind us if they had won.

Much better 2nd half from the Nix!

I'd rather we take one point point out of the match, than give our opposition 3 points.
Forget about it, move on and improve for the next game please!

Lochhead on the bench for me next week. Smith did the damage in the last 20 minutes when we lost 3-1 to Victory. So that means Smith starting....

Was already sealed after last night's result. Awesome effort nonetheless, given all the pessimism shown by many (not the hardy fans) pre-season.

You see, it's hard this prediction lark. I said 1-2, and 1-2 it surely was, if only that purblind spawny eyed wazzock of a ref could have seen Iffy being downed in the box from 15 feet away, the prat.
 
Messages to Ricki-
The boys were heroic.
Smithy should have started.
 
Oh, and Vinnie was complete and utter pants. Again.
 
Well played boys!! The hardest game you faced going into the Finals and you took a point.

Nostalgia isnt what it used to be...........

As Ifill said post match.."it wasn't pretty but we will take the point"
 
Ifill skill level > light years > rest of the Nix attackers
 
Thought Smith coming on changed things for the better...apart from one crap pass he finally got things moving in midfield. Please Ricki...no more Lia/Brown midfield
 
Whats with our inability to do simple one/two passes? once again we made things real hard for ourselves by constantly turning over the ball. Once again our swarming defense got us through a game.

Suspect said tracksuit was in the Karma Laundry (its in Newtown) getting the jinx washed out of it after the previous loss. Hoping they send it by urgent courier for next week's Tard-a-thon.Could come in handy....

Very poor stuff overall tonight, saved by a truly great strike from Ifill.

That central midfield are really is woeful and I am not sure there can be a slower midfield trio in world football than Brown, Lia, and Greenacre. Lia in particular was missing for most of the game, as was Brown whose distribution was appalling all night.

Anyway, 1 point away from a home final, quite an achievement to be fair!

MOM tonight for me was Durante, was in the right place at the right time and made several important tackles and blocks.

couldnt believe that Ricki had droppedsmith to the bench to play the plodders in midfield...Brown and Lia, does our manager ever learn from his mistakes.....I believe that smith improved things in the second half when he came...but ffs brown was f**king dire tonight
