R10 v Melb Victory | Fri 28 Dec | 9:50 | AAMI

I think its the combo of suspensions and fatigue which could be our biggest worry. 

Game management isn't it? If we're ahead and comfy against Adelaide, one or two picking a yellow to be suspended against Wanderers wouldn't be a bad thing - especially with the three home games interspersed with the Vuck game coming up.

I'd rather lose the players to away suspension matches than RoF, because it's a fortress now.

Just looking at the draw and noticed an incredible amount of football being crammed into the next month. 

Incredible team effort on Friday. Looks like we can win the whole thing, lol. In fact, yer, we’re going to run away with it. 

All this positivity has me seriously concerned.

Bit of talk about the fixture congestion. I didnt realize until I saw one of our home games next month is on Wednesday. Got worse as I looked at the full fixtures.

Obvious comcerns about fitness and fatigue, especially considering the run we're on atm. Wanna keep that form going.

This isnt Europe, we're not playing in multiple competitions. A little annoyed that we cant just have games once a week.

Someone I was talking to about it said its because of the international breaks which is logical.

But still annoyed nonetheless, again, this isnt Europe.

Plus side more football for us to enjoy right?

Not if your national team never play.

Watched the game back last night, thoroughly impressed with that performance and great to hear the fans loud and clear on the tv too. Fully deserved point. 

I'm actually looking forward to those back to back games at the westpac, will feel like being back in Europe having a wednesday evening game although I was surprised to see one! What's the deal? Stadium availability? The cards are definitely a concern though, especially the amount of soft ones we seem to accumulate. Not sure we have sufficient depth yet to cope. 

Cheers! Still getting to grips with everything. Clearly missed the marketing by the a-league 

My point exactly ?

It honestly didn't take much - meaning that, a few losses on the trot (as is probably inevitable) and the #SackRudan / #WeakestTeamEver memes will come back out.

We're playing some of the best football we've played in a decade, matching and even surpassing at some times Merrick's 14/15 squad imo (even with a sample size of only five or so games, we're still playing like the best side in the league and dominating the champions for long periods). People are definitely rightfully excited about this, we've had a doom-and-gloom culture for too long

Anyone know the A Tobin ratings for the game?

Yep.

They awarded 3, 2, and 1 points to the best 3 players on the pitch. Then at the end of the season the Sydney FC or Melbourne Victory player with the highest points tally for the season wins the award.

I hope this helps
