Bad feeling about today, but that's often when we get our best results.  BIG game, biggest since our last finals appearance

I think this is bigger than the finals serious,  we win this we can be champions.  Finals serious is just some end of season cup competition.  The Champion is the team on top of the league at the end of the regular season.  Dont for a second think I wouldnt like to see us win the grand final,  I would just love to see us be Champions 

Yup you are probably right, although hype for those games was bigger

Agree the hype for those games was bigger,  but the hype for this should be right up there too.

Siggy is a huge loss. Boxall is a competent replacement but you want your solidly experienced CBs there to cope with a frontline as frankly terrifying as MVs.

Hopefully Victory will flounder due to underestimating the Boxall and get frustrated by him.

Take a bow Manny Muscat. You are the left back so pointless waving your hands at anyone else.

If we give Kalfallah space to run, he sucks in other players and thats where the free man comes from. We have to force him to pass immediately he gets it, not run with it.

We are standing about a lot and not overly fluid with the ball going forward.

Thats actually a good summation. We are passengers in this game at the moment.

You want a card for that? It was more a push from behind going over his head. Give a card for that and in 60 mins time, there will be no one left on the field.

They are really squeezing on us. We are getting forced to play long. We have no possession because of this.

We are a funny team.  It's really obvious what we do each game, sometimes teams can completely get on top of us, others we get away from them.  But we don't vary it much.  A lot of it comes down on the day to how well a team can control our game plan
