From 70' on each week we are such a dangerous side. Griff & Neymar Burns went so close to each having a second. Another great win.

Hope all the Joel haters will now admit they were wrong. lol
Just because he scores doesn't make any one wrong
Idiotic post.
Diddums
How's Ernie's tactics now, Doloras?
Very good in this game, and a good call to sub on Lia. As I say, I apologise for being mistaken about what was happening in midfield.
On the other hand, it wasn't too long ago before we got humped by WSW and narrowly took a point off the Jest. We're not consistent enough yet for my comfort.
It's win-win for me. We took three points and I learnt who Anita Sarkeesian is. She could hammer me with her feminist ideology any day of the week!

RIP Hutt Wreck
Should make it permanent...
Great game in the 2nd half. Good to be top of the ladder for the next 3 hours.

Well, Hutta was suppose to be a swamp barren .
Looks like I gave Adelaide too much credit. Absolutely fudgeing pissing down at Woburn station. The weather gods were good to us today. Great result, peaking!
What was the "croud attendance"?
Steve-O says many more stupid negative things than me and he's treated with affection rather than contempt and continuous demands to shut up. AJ13 seems to agree with my assumption and no-one's being all like "load of crap as usual" at him, which is the second time I've gotten that in two different threads. At least I am not being asked to make anyone a sandwich.
The point is precisely that, we are 0-0 after a half with the wind at home in a must-win game if we are to have any real hope of a top-2 finish. Dewhurst is not shutting up about how Adelaide are pushing us around in the midfield. This after only just scraping a draw our last home game with the Jest, the scum of the league. I am seeing nothing which makes me think that Merrick is anything special, that any anonymous coach (goddamn Miron Bleiberg) could be doing.
But yeah. Some posters I seem to really infuriate for expressing opinions not much different from other posters. I wonder why.
Now that they have had 3 games in a close knit ground. What do people prefer the Cake Tin or the Wreck?
I prefer Petone Rec, but we'll need an anti-NIMBY machine.
The pleasure was all mine folks!!!
No need to thank me...

I think we all knew this day might eventuate and in all honestly I feel remarkably calm and am suffering from less internal conflict than I anticipated.

RoF.
There's a bloody roof on it.
Reading this thread after a game sure provides some laughs and reminds me again why i avoid posting during the game.Thanks for the laughs hope some of you have tissues to wipe off that egg.
New chant I sang proudly all the way to the car. To the tune of oh wellington.
Oh sack Wacker
He scored a goal
Oh sack Wacker scored a goal
We were worried when he joined the phoenix but sack Wacker scored a goal.

Loving this
This is a thing of great beauty.....I just told my missus I am going to get it tattooed on my chest above my heart. She replied " why don't you grow up" Some people just don't get it!!!!!!!!!
That move near the end where the build up included two back heels and Burnsy just flashed the shot wide...was pure poetry
So happy to be a Nix fan...the wilderness years seem such a long time ago.
Oh Sackwhacker, bam-a-lam
Oh Sackwhacker, bam-a-lam
Sackwhacker scored a goal, bam-a-lam
He's got a groin-shot soul, bam-a-lam
When he has his fun, bam-a-lam
All the linos run, bam-a-lam
On a more serious note went to the pub between games and started chatting to two adelaide lads playing pool such lovely guys had come over for the week and loved it here being their first time. They did however predict we would win lol

You mean two weeks ago when people were like OMG THE REST OF THE LEAGUE HAVE FIGURED US OUT? ;)

There's a bloody roof on it.
and you don't need to stand half the time to see the other end a bit from the sideline seats
if they made it permanent would want steeper stands (sim YF zone) and bottom seats starting higher.
but other than that (and the roof and the less preferred transport) it's a peach
I don't care what silverware, I just wonna win one silverware this season.
Strange game - each half dominated by the team playing into the wind. Both teams played poorly with the wind, too many through balls instead of keeping it on the deck and playing wide.
I thought both Boxall and Fenton were excellent and Ernie's subs were spot on - both Krishna and McGlinchy had quiet games.
Conditions considering good croud and yellow fever in fine voice.
I'll miss the wreck - love being so close to the action.
Top of the league, heady days.
Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Give me a roof over my head any day and seat so I can see how the game develops.

7800. Pretty decent considering the amount of pussies who dropped their sacks at the last minute due to weather
Lia on -look for us to score 2 quick goals
I felt this was a positive move from Ernie. I said to Jnrette that with WeeMac off, Roly would move forward and that worked a treat last week.
Hope security are able to identify the dickhead standing at the back of the fever zone who unloaded beer on the caterers below.He should of been kicked out for that but more so for the fact he wasted good beer.Hopefully some of the good croud shots will enable him to be idenfified.

What I heard on Twitter, it was a coke can and the Baxter staff came into the Fever Zone and laid punches into Brendon!

I will admit to having needless nerves at the end of the first half. I didn't actually think we were playing that badly, but I was influenced by the idiot Dewhurst going on about the Reds bossing us in midfield. Which they weren't.
A
I did have a wee chuckle how the Nixs left it till just before the 80th minute shirts off to get a goal :P
Great result, and very lucky with the weather mostly holding off until after the game. Was pretty horrendous on the way home. Somehow made it back to Johnsonville, basically without being able to see where we were going it was so heavy.
