A couple of weeks ago it was ‘we can score, we just can’t defend, so we’re halfway there!’.

Now we can’t score either. Progress!

8 and a half hours without scoring away from home?

So that was midday Melbourne time. What've we been doing all afternoon???

We look like we might get something on the counter, but thats more a hopeful thought than anything.

We let them pass freely outside our half and 15 meters in and oly apply pressure 25 yards out. Our defense seems intent on simply just hoofing it.

Is Roy still injured or something? Doesn't look quite right to me. Should've slipped it wide then. Walking around the pitch too. Not his normal energy.

Nah, I agree. Ridenton has had a hell of a lot of chances but looks like a park footballer at best. I think Rufer has slightly more potential but he's in a similar boat.

Actually think Ridenton's dead ball work is usually his best quality. They're usually pretty decent.

Ridentons dead ball has generally been ok this year. Can't hit a perfect cross / free kick everytime

There is something off with Roy. Barely celebrated. Is he one of the players leaving, you think?
