That's a formidable foward line. On paper.

Curios why they haven't fired just yet. 

funny you could say the same about our lineup

In case of Perth Glory you could say they have already peaked this season and are now losing steam.

In contrast, our team can only go up from here.

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

Feel bad for Watson... more goals and assits than Barbs with half the game time and on the bench... reputation over actual results?

He should come on in the 2nd half I reckon - but it would be for Smeltzy, probably, and not for Kosta.

Watson will gave go the last 30 minutes, only real attack option on the bench. Game will be interesting. Fireup!

Sky shows the game ending at 1.30, let's hope they don't cut if off with 15 mins left.

Kinda, but Watson is a very different player to Kosta.

Parkhouse in midfield when we have a natural midfielder in Ridenton to slot in there? Ok.

Are we just trying to play Parkhouse in every position that isn't actually his own or?

2 and a half hours should be enough!

Ah yes, the build-up/beginning of coverage to the highly anticipated Distance Derby: Players walking onto the field whilst an unenthusiastic commentator is heard for the first time half-way through a sentence.

Beautiful through ball, should be 1-0 up. If only it were Smeltz on the other end of it.

Looking sharper on attack tonight so far than any other game i can recall thus far this season

Based on the first 10 or so minutes, this seems like it may be a game worth staying up for. Chances either side.

KRISHNA GOAL! so far we've been cutting them open with through balls. Shot wasn't great from Krishna, but it snuck under Reddy despite the keeper getting a lot of contact on it.

Smeltz assist. That smart attacking play was missing, great ball to Krishna.

Shot was straight at Reddy but I'll take a goalkeeping howler!

Funny, they've all been going on recently about Reddy being in career best form.

Fudge it's good to have Smeltzy back.  I just don't see Watson making that run to receive the ball in space and play Krishna in.

Great work from A-Rod (?) too, to show huge effort to intercept the ball leading to the goal.  He came from a long way away to slide and win it.

Yep, looks like Parkhouse on the left, and Kosta on the right at the moment.

I normally like a whinge and a moan on game day but so far we look as good as I can remember in recent games

Was that the same Nix I've been watching all season in our box there?

Roly to Melb C? Maybe the attraction of being linked to Man C will attract him away? hope not.
