R12 vs Western United | Sat 28th Dec | 7.00pm | SS7

what's Davila's chant?

Hooper with a little assist too; Davila shows how good he is by forgetting last weeks miss

man we are lucky to have Davila 

shark yea!!! This score line has been coming for a few games! 

Davila scores a third with hardly any resistance from Western United. The commentators reach for the ultimate idiom, the "nail in the coffin". Superb individual effort.

Can only hear the Phoenix fans 

Hudson-Wihongi comes on for Tim Payne. Crowd calls "we want four". Dura gets physical with Hooper. Commentators wondering and arguing whether it is a 0:3 or a 0:4 kind of a game. They console WU supporters that their next game is a derby against Citeh.  Berisha comes off for Youel

Saw Hooper clutching his hamstring

Fudge off Durante, you chose to leave

there's more divets in that turf than in the pitch at the MCG. 

We've been all over them today. This has been the perfect game to break the shackles for us in terms of goal scoring, we've been threatening, but haven't had that game when we've run riot. Exactly what we needed going into the next month or so.

Excellent to see, and definitely looks like we've got at least one more in us too!

As someone in Melbourne today, it's fudgeing hot (luckily not quite as hot as scheduled); we've done so well to work this hard for 90 mins (well, 85..)

A perfect illustration of why you don't sign old players to play in a summer league

Ask and yee shall receive.

stupid pen to give away!

What a load of crap, there was a hand ball in the lead up

shark. Taylor has a habit of that...

A classic bizarre Taylor moment

Handball from Taylor, sadly he is not the goalkeeper.Penalty scored by Diamante. It is 1:3 after all. The crowd goes wild.

Damnit I want a clean sheet!

gah! And Stefan has the shot covered...

Back to 1-3

So just as well. 

Taylor falls full length to give up a hand ball penalty. 

3-0 would have seen us in 5th on goal difference.

Can’t speak ill of the captain but for fudge sakes!!!! What was that?!

Four extra minutes

Ben Waine is ready to come on.

That's just Taylor; brilliance and ridiculousness all in one. At least he did it when we were 3-0 up!

yes what a goal!

the crowd got there 4th!

What a finish but looks like Kurto injured him

Hooper with a long range header over Kurto out of the box, for 4.

What a fudgeing header

Looks like he got knocked out for nothing as he's offside, bugger

off side?

off side?

Fuk off 

Found the VAR did ya?

Woulda been a great goal

Hooper scores an acrobatic goal, and as a precaution gets injured. Kurto matches Taylor in brainfade stakes.

And VAR overturned on a tight offside

Gutted, that deserved a goal

What a header! I hope he hasn't done himself some damage though...

Scratch that, fudgeing VAR

oh bloody VAR! Hahaha. Excellent game nevertheless. 

I love Gary hooper and hate VAR

Beeeeeauty!!!

I almost wanted us to stop running at the end as we looked so fudgeed; we played so well.

First time WU have conceded 3. Fudge off snakes.
