Phoenix vs Sydney

Its the way they lost.

Good goal by Danning, he was well played in by Brosque. Smeltzy looked largely uninterested until the last 2 minutes. Hearfields sending off was a poor decision in my opinion, Brosque should have been red carded at the same time at least... Daniel looked average off the bench too.

there is no way that we can beat both melbourne and adelaide...no chance in the world

complain to FFA yes please, nah but serious he will come under some sort of investigation

there was no heart tonight none at all

Everything went wrong for us. 1. Ben Williams

And also hope CCM don't win a game.

What would you red card him for?

What does that even mean?

It was a game that summed up our season really. A couple of things here, a couple of things there. Some good stuff, some not so good stuff and a decent goal against us that was relatively simple in creation (1-2), but one we couldn't create ourselves

We have tried hard some games and others just no even shown up. i thought we at least competed in this game compared to some others.
I'll still carry a flame for the last 2 games but we realistically need 6 points because if CCM even get 1 win, we are gone on goal difference. Against Melbourne and Adelaide thats nigh improbable but not impossible.

Hopefully next year we sign a big dominating CM as we do need a feild marshall and a couple of quality strikers. The first step to that is getting FFA to extend the license so we can sign 3 year deals. That and clean some wood out, Coveny, Johnson definitely, the rest well....

Lets cheer then for the last home game of the season. If they possibly needed the points before the Sydney game, well they are non negotiable now.

maybe if they both get 6 reds in the game vs us?

not serious mate..brosque the w**ker obviously steps into him and hearfield just jumps out of the road..no blatant forearm..

I thought that ben Williams had a very poor game......seemend to completely ignore the fact that Flynn was blatantly handballing all game. Brosque(I never did like him was ) was bitching like a girl after the incident with hearfield even though he had managed to sucker hearfield in with the evntual sending off. i thought that lockhead and Mc Cain had very poor games today and to be honest I thought the game might peter out into a draw...alas not

I'm not usually one to do this, but I completely blame Heartfield for this loss. He didn't need to do what he did, he should have just walked away, and we wouldn't be a man down. After he was sent off Sydney ran us all over the pitch and just made us look like amateurs.

Well, I guess there's only one game left worth watching (and I doubt we'll do well in that). Can't be bothered watching us play Melbourne as we've got no chance and our playoff chances are finished.

well said jose...we just arent good enough..no pace..no vision...and seemingly no plan...any reason why our young guys arent getting a run..no chance for draper all season in a team that cant score goals..as for dodd great stopper..damn shame he forgets who he is playing for when he passes..all in all a good solid season but we desperately need some players with a bit of spark to fire up the journeymen we possess specially with smeltz gone next year...as for the sending off well i think itll be a good learning experience for hearfield..

So you also think that we didn't 'try'? That is just stupid. Ricki obviously went out to not lose first and foremost - it's not completely the players fault he didn't show any adventure.

Yes, but we were going along alright before Hearfield got sent off. If he had not got sent off ,we would not have lost imo.

serious mate..if the ref books the player for the challenge (which i feel is a send off) nothing happens after..refs in a-league r ordinary..tackles like that coz problems afterwards..stamp it out plaese before players get hurt..
