R3 vs Sydney | Sun 23 Oct | 7:00pm | ROF

let's just leave Simon alone for a free header. We are so shark.

we were a bit better in 1st half, they were in the 2nd

Meh. We played pretty well and deserved something out of the game. Didn't get it and that is disappointing. Going to Melbourne next week will be tough.

Seven losses in a row now?

Disgusting result - very poor that we didnt have this game won in the first half

What the fudge was that from Rossi? Piss poor, really was.

Going to be another season of agony.

Didnt' deserve shark with that defending.

Wow, I am so surprised they snatched it late. Shocked I tell you.

Might as well not even go. So uninspired.

Bring in Hudson.

O'Neil and Zullo add their names to Simon and Brosque as cynical players and cocks...

Tratt not to be man of the match eh?

Garbage header to end it.

I jinxed it. Fudge. 

I jinxed it. Fudge. 

First half was quality, but looked tired. Needed fresh legs in the middle, but never came.

Soft goal... if only Krishna's hadn't been disallowed.

Goal was scored from a right foot.

Assisted by a header.

I know it's only three games into the season but how come every team we've played looks fitter than us?

Dewhurst was rabitting on about A league and how classy Kosta is and then journeyman Simon just does the business and sets it up..simple game really.

An actual striker, something we are seemingly never destined to have.

A draw was a fair result but there is nothing fair in football.

Probably because we have Lia and Finkler in the middle of the park. Both tire by the 60 min mark.

Though to be fair; thought Lia was one of our best today. 

Roly was actually our poorest midfielder by quite a bit.

Well, shark happens. On the other hand we should have scored a couple of goals too. Looks like we did not have the legs to last the whole game.

On the balance of things I think it was a draw kind of a game.  There is still a lot of work to do for Ernie to get this team sorted, especially with so many key new faces. I would have preferred for this to have happened in the off season, frankly.

I thought Roly had his best game this season... played a lot deeper and got on the ball more. Was involved and didn't get caught in possession too often/

didn't see how Watson was doing when he came on?

I think that because there was a certain inevitably about that ending, it does't quite hurt as much as expected. Just knew it was coming.

Must've watched a different game to me. Lost the ball countless times in dangerous positions and had some horrid first touches. He got on the ball more, but didn't do anything with it.

I was wondering why on earth he wasn't playing there in pre-season? Quite clear we were over subscribed with players up front. So why 3 games in make such a big switch?

This season so far...

I dunno- I thought we were the more enterprising of the two teams and made the running most of the game. We had two one-on-ones incorrectly waved away. Not sure if a draw would have been fair!

But the late goal was a dirty steal.

not much apart from unnessesarily steamrolling Vuko.

If you look at what I said at half-time then it is not a surprise.

At least one of those goals was onside surely?

yeah

I miss the good old days of crippling mediocrity, now we're just utter gobsharke 

Who played well?? Moss, Doyle, Roy, Lia

What was the attendance?

Krishna and Weemac played well

7k ish i think

biggest concern for me is 3 games no goals and still poor free kick/ corner execution

also, Finkler has the turning circle of a ford cortina
