so a big mid table clash for us, after a rough start;

we can't afford to give up two easy goals for this one

Keogh was at least several metres offside for each of those that were disallowed though, it's not like it was even close. And it was the Nix pressing that caused the defensive errors Perth were making. We did allow them to become ascendent in midfield for too long though by giving the ball away too easily, that's my only concern.

That was a great coordinated offside trap for the offside goals too. Those are examples of our defenders doing their job, not the opposite

I don't disagree with that.  But my point is we gifted a couple of goals and but for split second timing for a couple of offsides the game could have been a lot closer.  And we had Perth on the big travel. 

It's a great result.  But I wouldn't be getting carried away yet.  We need to be good enough to do it again this week.  Perth are a mid table team, nothing more.  At least with that starting side.

But like I said after the Jets game, we are better than we looked in that one, especially with a few players back from injury.  So, Rossi made a decent difference this week.  And the whole team showed great character and worked hard.  Positive signs.

But Perth were not great.  5-2 was a bit flattering imo and the measure will be whether we can consistently get wins or at least points against sides like Perth AND WSW.   Gifting two to WSW won't be as easy to get back.  'Cause they are not going to be as defensively frail as Perth.
