Sorry lads, can't have two Polls and t'other one had a bunch of
players missing.
Get into it.
Get into it.
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

For me it was Moss. He kept us in the game in the first half. But
it's hard to pick a standout and everyone did okay...

Great great effort. EFFORT being the key
word. 
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Just got back from the game, there would have been a good 50
Phoenix supporters there, great turn out.
I gave my vote to Moss thought both Lockhead and Smeltz came a
close second.
Moss for three very improtant saves.
Man did Lochead put some great tackles in. Also played a real
wing back role up and that flank all game.
Smeltz caused the defence a bloody headache all game.
Man he works hard off the ball.
Congratulations to all the players in this very important
win.
And to Frankie and his mates that made the trip from
Wellington, had a good night thanks.

Moss for me.
Brown, Lochhead, Smeltz & Daniel - all good tonight.

Lochhead kept his side of the defence generally less heart stopping
than the other, and he's always capable of putting the odd
Bekchamesque ball into the area. He's Mr Solid of the season so
far, for me, and we have needed that.

Apparently Phoenix goalkeeper Jacob Spoonley, had a good game
according to the A-League website!
I'm slightly disappointed!

i chose moss he did some great saves in the first half that kept us
in the game,the rest of the team were solid and did well to hold
onto their one goal lead.

yeah we could have been 2 down within 8 minutes with moss there.
great stuff.
How did our defence go in the 2nd half? The beers took hold and I fell asleep at that point

Definitely Mossy. Without him we wouldn't have had a game to
win. Commanding, confident and three outstanding saves.
There's no one better when it's one on one.
Much better all round effort from the team. Dfence
seemed to grow in confidence, or maybe Perth just ran out of
ideas. A good night's work.

Yea definately moss he had an awesome game.
Tim Brown and Vince Lia did wel to and Smeltz does a huge
amount of work

Moss, Smeltz, Lia, and Brown all did fantastically well, but I gave
my vote to Lochhead.
My heart almost stopped when they got the ball at their feet in our box, but Brown came through and nicked it off them.

I voted for Lochead, thought he had a great game, but I couldn't
really argue with people voting for Mossy. Also thought Lia and
Smeltz had good games.
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Moss was great, Daniel had lapses of paralysis, but goal was class.

Roll on the carrot tops and the zirconium bling.
A win and a draw against Queensland and Sydney will see us mid
table again.
I still reckon we'll claw back to top four.

4 votes for Daniel 
Fair
enough if scoring the winner is enough to get you MOM, but
personally I thought he did just about f**k all else last night.
Very disappointed in his performance.

Karl Dodd, given the obvious impact he had on defence,
deserves a bit of recognition as well. Having said that I
didn't vote for him - Maybe if there was a "MWMTBDCTAOTM" (man who
made the big difference compared to Adelaide of the Match) he would
do better. Even then Mossy would get my vote! Dodd
added something though.
I know, I know, its serious!

Can't go past Moss' keeping last night - especially considering the
performance from Pasty last week. The defence were shaky yet again
last night, but moss was superb. He deserves all those votes!

was undecided between Moss, Brown, Smeltz and Daniel.
Dismissed Daniel, athough his goal determined the outcome of
the match
Dismissed Brown, although he had a great game
Dismissed Smeltz, even though he did very well.
Couldn't have given my vote to anyone else but Mossy.
Insuperable!

Tim Brown finally gets a chance and shows his worth. Long overdue i
say. Brownlie didnt impress again. Give Paladini or Costa a chance
off the bench cos brownlies not cutting it. Covs is still class
just a bit old.

daniel was that great to be honest. looked out of it.
vaughn: perfect wen he came on. really good use of experience
there

in the way ricki used both covs and royce last night they were
well suited, as guys with real strength on the ball who can hold it
up. costa and george would have been ill suited to that role last
night. in saying that vaughn did a better job it than royce, really
showed his experience last night

cant bellieve there isnt more votes for dodd he was superb in
defence

A well taken very ugly win,mossy for me as had it not been for him
we could well have been down a couple after 25min.Dont think we
should go to over the top as i think many of the other teams would
have had us buried early,given the way our defence just opened up
for them.

can someone give us an update on how vinnie lia is going please...

going for Timmo, covered lots of the park, always switched on -
superb intercept and well weighted ball for Daniel, vocal
leadership and leading by example, also great to see him be the
first player to go over to the Phoenix fans at the end
also impressed by smeltz's work of the ball and his greater willingness this week to take players on
hopefully Smeltzy and Elrich will get on each other's wave lengths real soon
Mossy did well, but keepers do get paid to make saves (v Sydney he was outstanding and clear Mom - not convinced this time)
Doddy coming back helped

I voted for Smeltz, tireless up front, held the ball well - how
good would this guy be with some decent support? Lochhead,
Johnson, and Moss were also very good. Have to say though
that our right hand side defence is a real worry. I worry
that JC gives the left sided attackers too much time on the ball
(same last night as against CCM at the Stadium). Also our
attacking options are very much left-sided, given Lochhead's
attacking skills. This makes us reasonably easy to mark as
our right-side attack is more limited.
Second half we looked pretty good defensively and I think the
much maligned O'Dor did well until he was booted in the
chops! Every time Dodd went down my heart sank though.
Paul Henry must be gutted - probably call in sick on
Monday. Cock.
Go the Nix!

I agree on O'Dor, he did some quality things and you could see that
if he keeps improving by this time next season he'll be one of the
best in the league.
