Ifill is getting angry.  Wow, as is Durante.  Needless corner because Crowther wouldn't open his mouth.

Durante finally giving Crow a slap on the wrist.

We will never fully decide who has won the football.

How does a team from Wellington adapt to the wind worse than a team from Sydney?

Is the pitch narrow or just a strange camera angle?

Second half changes?..Costa on for Daniel?

The camera is lower than normal but its only about 10 yards from the touchline to the edge of the box. There is usually heaps of room out there.

Any idea what the crowd number is? If the stands full it looks about 8-10k

Poor passing all over, it's not often I bag the Nix but this is rubbish. Although good effort by Ifill.

Great run in from caceras...but puts it in high to..none.  But Ifill collects at back post jinks and shoots...but..its weak.

Ifill giving heaps to one of his own team  - a measure of the frustration out there.
 
Absolutely dreadful from us.

A Wellington team getting outplayed in the wind? Unacceptable.

Shocking, had some good runs at first, but it only went down hill after the penalty..

Caceras is playing well.
Maybe Lochheads really a left midfielder? He does his best work on attack

I like that idea purely because there is no width and our wide men are having no effect. If we are taking route 1 to goal, another person in front of it would be helpful. Ifill is dropping off deeper playing his normal game so there is actually no one up there.

Now we're into the wind I think Costa is a pretty smart idea, let him run his arse off chasing through balls with Ifill coming up behind.

Unlike Melbourne Sydney actually try to attack down the wings with Byun and Cole so there is less chance for Lochy and Hearfield to get forward

The penalty was rubbish. Even a cursory look at the replay will show that. Brosque had a great fistful of McKain's shirt when they were neck and neck, then in true Brosque style went to ground with that aggrieved look.
 
Bullsh*t.

Haha, just what I was thinking.

Not looking forward to seeing Crowther kick into the wind btw..Bolton was struggling big time

Carpet football for the 2nd half.

Our first half was uglier than Quasimodo's passport picture. We'd better get things sorted for the 2nd half.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Like last week we are going to struggle without Greenacre...but I think given the conditions that we have to drop one of the midfield and change the approach.  What will they do..continue to pass it around I think ratherthan use wind much.
 
Aisle 21/22 must be downwind?
 
Havent featured in coverage much either.

I'd rather us of played like that when we had the winds at our backs (and gone for heaps of long shots) rather than going into the wind. Going into the wind is actually a bit easier when going forward imo because you can hoof the ball up and you know it will hold up for your strikers.
