R24 V Melbourne Victory | Sunday 5th April | 7:00pm

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

Anyone at the game, whats the croud like?

Gametime!!   COYN

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.

righto

Let's get it on

Lets go boys,  big game today from A-Rod and Boxy

burnsy better score then

COYN!!!!

That was extremely poor defending Jesus.

FFS what the fudge

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

Shocking start,  im gutted

lovely work manny

Oh man that is depressing.

Siggy's abscence felt early

Not sure on what left side of defence is doing there

Good work Griff and Fenton

That had nothing to do with Sigmund. That was all Manny

Moss,  hold onto it

I expect MV to score from every attack and setpiece. Defence is like swiss cheese of late.

What with this ref,  its not netball

Yellow fever seems to be very quiet as well

Our 2nd touch is a tackle today it seems

How does hold the ball in your hands imply that it must be your throw?

lol

0 intensity from us. WIll be 5 or 6-0 at this rate

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.

Blatant headlock on Burns - why wasn't that a card?

I miss Piney...

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 really miss Riera

Riera showing himself to be our most important player

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

you can listen to piney here ABC Grandstand -slightly ahead of the video

what is with the non existant pressure?

past couple of minutes has been better,  we need to pull the trigger when on edge of box,  Roy and Burnsy to follow up on keeper

Griff is down,  hope he is ok
