R17 vs Melbourne City | Sat 14th Feb | 5:00pm | Bellevue Gardens Hotel

Problem is that he is 27ish and needs to be starting.

Didnt realise he was that old,  thought he was a couple of yrs younger,  although if he stayed I think he would get more game time next year

Needs more Shirts Off!

Sack roy

That's twice now that Krishna has fallen over with an open net!

How have we not scored here!? Indian bookmakers on a detour from their world cup travels?

totori sighted?

Someone has used a voodoo doll.

Or maybe Jeff Vader was right all along, and he's a flat-track bully who went through a purple patch.

Melling lucky that is not a red.  Studs up at the achilles.

So cynical.

He definitely strikes me as a confidence player looking for his mojo

Fever Zone have dropped their balls. Zero noise 

You reckon?  I thought they had been ok.

shark that was frustrating

To paraphrase Ernie Merrick, that was a 0-0 massacre.

Good second half,  we could have won that.  I guess overall a draw was fair as MC dominated in the first half.  Feels like 2 points dropped. But have stopped the losing streak plus a clean sheet

Agree. They were all over us 1st half but that pressing cost them a lot of fuel. We should've made them pay but blew several good chances. Draw was about fair.

the better team won

2 points dropped. Disappointing. 

Also is cataclysmic possession giveaways in our defensive third only mentioned if Vince Lia is on the field?

It was a game of two halves. We battered them in the second and should have scored 2/3.  Really don't have anyone that is a good finisher.

would have been great to have the option to swap Roy for Boyd in the 2nd half

We could have used Boyd today specially in the 2nd half.

Odd we only made 1 sub today.

Interesting that people thought the crowd sounded good because I thought at the ground that the crowd noise was poor. 

Not sure what the answer is. If I did I wiuld be an A league coach

That ground, even if it is only a temporary stand is a zillion times better than Wetpac. A lot closer to the actual pitch. Perhaps a 14k stand set up would be all we all need. Prematch yummies at the Belle Vue. I recommend the Big Breakfast for $11 it leaves anything at Westpac in the dust. Or you can buy a TBone steak meal for $16.

Should have won that. I think we are still a very good side but if you want to stay near the top then that creates the pressure to stay there by winning week in, week out. The atmosphere didn't sound much better than at Westpac because the sound just dissipated.

Why the fudge do we have Boxall avaliable to play and Boyd isnt when theyll both leave end of season? Its really costing us; think he couldve made the difference off the bench today - Burns was poor and Krishna was constantly making the wrong decisions.

Very frustrating last few weeks. 

YF sounded very quiet but dont blame them considering the blue balls from getting close and fudgeing up over and over.

For me the highlights were getting the YF bucket hats and Patrick perking the sausage rolls.

View from bay I was not so good when play was at the other end.

Patrick was a legend today, the small pie was very nice. Despite drawing, it was an excellent day out for me. Catching up with old friends and new. Looking forwadd to next Sunday.

Boxall played and from all accounts he isn't going to re-sign either.

Obviously something going on we don't know about; but from the outside looking in it looks like we are shooting ourselves in the foot somewhat. Not saying he would've won any of these games for us, but having him on the bench as an option certainly could've helped.

Anyway, happy to see A-Rod starting instead of Lia. Overall thought he had a good game, though also had a couple of careless touches. Needs a consistent run in the team now.

well.......

Player interaction feel..8/10..close enough to hear them swear and tell them man on when no one else did.

View....5/10 from Cerato Bay M..got sick of turning head always like at a tennis match.

Pitch..6/10..give it a mow

Stadium....6/10.  Hard seats very little leg room, overpriced wine in cups.  Good stomping going on tho

Fever noise.the reduced attendance? mainly lost in the wind and there was no way once wrapped up I was going to stand up for the Phoenix sori.

Crowd..9200..yeah right

Ref..4/10...was there anyone he didn't book...

Bench...5/10.must have been frozen by half time hence no change up even for last 10.

Next week..I will see what the weather is like...and turn up at 4.45 as there was still plenty of room to get a seat.

Overall...6/10 for better second half but where has the mojo gone guys?

Anyone have the spun spud and is it worth $4.50?

Anyone have the spun spud and is it worth $4.50?

This is the only question that needs answering in this thread. They looked bloody goooooood.

Also, Yellow Fever noise was so quite.... Disappointing. 

Yeah everyone thought YF sounded poor, but that's due to the ground. I have a new appreciation for ROF after today. But Hutt Rec was fudgein mean. Awesome atmosphere
