R19 vs Melbourne Victory | Sun 1st Mar | 7:00pm

Who's he slotting in between?

And I only post on wins and draws. Has anyone seen the two of us in the same room at the same time?

What a victory muahaha!

Also, nice to see two teams wanting to play football. Made for a cracker of a game.

Appeared MV may have gassed a bit after pressing so much for the first hour or so.

A bunch of huge performances by us but wanna give Moss a big shout here. He was immense.

Sorry to spoil your day archie but payback is a bitch!

How the bloody hell did that happen??

The Tab special with Burns to acore and nix to win paying $7 would have been nice

Now i know 90% of you think everything i say is bollocks but please please please can we keep Boxall?

I though Hicks was our new God?

I knew, after Berisha hitting the post, this will be our day. We will beat Adalaide next week, they are totally overrated, we are a top team and we all have to get used to it.

I thought Boxall had a very poor first 30-35 minutes.  Boy, did he turn that on his head. Well done for turning it around.

That pen looked rubbish as well, he hit it over the bar and then got clipped. 

I had that discussion with a ref last week asking what happens if you have a shot, miss and get taken out afterwards to which he replied the advantage was taken with the shot. Seems odd as it means you can charge a shot regardless of consequences. I think the decision tonight is correct

If the shooter is taken out afterwards but all in the act of shooting - pen

I thought the ball was well gone by the time the challenge came in, but that is just my interpretation. 

Yeah I think probably a pen, card very harsh. As discussed at the time...... if that was a yellow, whoever was the douche that caught Burns after he scored should have been carded also. Late and reckless.

Edit: 1000th post! Get in!

I also thought Griffiths contributed very well and belied his years with his pace and ability. Astute move Ernie.

Awesome game. Roly , Burns , Dura , Moss and Boxall all played bloody well. Really love Sunday games like this , makes Monday at work bearable being able to watch the highlights. Boxall was MoM for me. Would really like the club to talk him around to staying because every time he gets a good run in the team he looks good. Bring on Adelaide at the wreck on Saturday.

Things that rule

- Birdshark not scoring

- Archie not scoring

- Breaking our draught against the Tards in Tardsville

- Manny chopping Birdshark down

- Michael 'the man mountain" Boxall

- Scoring twice from a free kick

-Nathan Burns

- Kosta scoring ( kind of)

exactly this

yusss -was thinking this also

Brave if it's Brock Lesnar

The next podcast is going to be awesome!

There's not knowing how to use the Quote button, and then there's this 

Plus Breakers, 'Canes

on train back from game - after going to countless Melbourne games where we got completely reamed it waa fantastic to see us fight back in 2nd half. Fudgeing elated. Great stuff. Griff made a diff, no doubt.

UUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!   8)

Krishna was shut down by a mostly superb Geria all game. Getting him off changed the game for me.

True, been some awesome sporting results this weekend! Just capped off with this Nix win!

Fuuuuuuuuaaaaaaark! 3-2!!!

Boxall gets the most improved award for his slightly shocking first half and Lomu-esque second

This match thread isn't as hilarious as I thought it would be. You disapoint me Fever

and Sthn Jeff must now go to every away match

Must have been some outrageous curl on this freekick to get this top left corner.

Was an amazing free kick; though looked like Coe got a hand on it. Remember when we thought free kicks were foregone conclusions into row Z? No more!

Took me about 3 seconds to celebrate the free kick as I could not believe it had gone in! 

I'm afraid I will wake up tomorrow and this will all have been a dream

I was like that for the third goal. Stood up at the stadium but didnt know wtf happened
