Player ratings v Roar

Mossy 6 Was embarrassed by his dropped ball, otherwise was sound
Boxall 6 Caught out for their goal otherwise sound
Siggy 7 Thought the ball was going to run over the line for their goal but then was too late to get to it, otherwise good
Dura 7.5  A timely block, reading the play well and some good leadership
Fenton 6 Did the job
Riera 6.5 A few give aways but held the middle well
Lia 7 A couple of beautiful passes
Mikey 7 Yes he missed a sitter but he also scored and put in some nice passes
Roly 8 Some great touches in tricky conditions, a shot well saved
Burns 8.5 Off side several times for little apparent reason, but absolutely magical for the first goal and didn't miss the second
Krishna 7 Tested them out thoroughly
A Rod Not time to make much impact

Fever away fans 9 a top effort

Water 8 really made things easier down the stretch

I'd give Mossy an extra point for quality post-match quips.

I think Vinnie was better than a 7. He was outstanding. Yes, he put on a few highlights reel passes, but his defensive work was massive. Their free kick that went off the wall and out for a corner - off Vinnie's head.

I think Riera was WAY better than 6.5 - his mop up work in the first half - he was relentless, constantly winning the ball back in the midfield, often very high up and freeing Burns, Roly, Krishna and WeeMac free.

Krishna - did you notice his AMAZING defensive work? The number of times he blocked shots, chased back, tackled people in the midfield. I don't mean to reduce his attacking contribution - it was excellent, but for me it was an eye opening effort on defence from him that was particularly notable.

For heaven sake! We won IN Brisbane after 70 minutes! We are 4 point ahead. What else have to happen to give everyone 10 points?

I'll fix that now and forever:

Mossy 10

Fenton 10

Siggy 10

Dura 10

Boxall 10

Krishna. Burns, ARod, Lia, WeeMac and Roly 10

Coach and rest of the bench 10

Referee and officials on the iPhone double, checking the rule twenty two 10

Yellow Fever 10

Tlaloc, god of rain, probably also deserves 10 points too IMO. All that and we didn't even give him the child sacrifice and flayed skin he usually demands. Great work

or add one to the lot of them seems about right to me

reckon burns deserves a 9.5, it'd be hard to see a better assist.  The more i think about it the more i think that

plus the goal

I might be imagining too much but I though it was a bit significant burns laid off that assist

in earlier games he might have tried to go for goal himself

says to me Ernie's still fine tuning these guys

Ernie - 10

for the above and going to 4-4-1-1 promptly with the rain
