Why would Sasse even do that though, like go in wildly in the wind with a raised foot. Foolish.

Par for the course season start. Wake me up when the mid season surge begins.

To be honest the way he's played we won't miss him. What an abysmal first half so far from just about everyone but especially our midfield

What? He went to play the ball and slipped...   How can you call that a red?

Not even a foul. Useless A league ref.
 
It’s a yellow definitely, but he left the ground (despite it being a slip) it’s out of control so gave the ref an excuse.

He’s slipped over, his studs aren’t raised where he makes contact, he’s won the ball, the ref previously decided studs into Payne’s ankle wasn’t a card, the Adelaide guy has his studs raised going for the ball at the same height. 

A league bs. 

And after Blackwood et al theatrically lying on the deck.

Even if he'd given a yellow, nowadays VAR is 90% likely to upgrade it to red, slip or no slip.

He standing foot slip out from under him, no intent could understand a yellow but straight red is mind blowing.

Ugarkovic is better than Pennington and Lewis and Rufer? Not seeing it yet, though he’s short of game time.

Fark, short a couple of FBs and the way the team is playing it could be half a season to get settled. Mess of a first half. Hopefully they prove me wrong.

Any reason why Ben Waine isn’t starting somewhere? Been our form player.

Stevie you're off free kick duties mate

Also anyone who thinks that wasn't red needs to take their yellow glasses off

Rufer is injured and Lewis is just coming back from injury

All are better than Pennington imo

He’s been talked up as an experienced player, but he hasn’t shown much in that first half. I didn’t mean why he was selected today, I meant against the savior of the midfield and club talk. 
Wind will be different second.

Wasn't unexpected that we weren't going to click immediately against an experienced, settled Adelaide. 

Despite the send off there is still a good opportunity for the boys to show some grit and grab a hard earned point. That alone will do wonders for squad morale going forward.

Certainly not the slick passing and positioning we’d expect from an Uffie team. 

With Sutton, Waine and Lewis out we’ve lost a lot of the benefits of familiarity in the engine room. We’ve basically replaced almost everyone with this starting 11.

The only saving grace is that Adelaide have been crap, for a team that should be highly cohesive. They haven’t yet blown us off the park.

When I was playing that was a caution at most but in the modern game it's a sending off all the live long day.
Zawada looks capable of doing something good.

What village idiot made all the kiosks "card only" ? FFS Sky stadium. Why have two Westpact terminals if you wont accept cash? Meanwhile, my kids go thirsty. Stupid move by the Stadium Trust.

Harsh, but possibly as we haven’t built up the combination play and we might see a bit more space for Kraev. But you do have to wonder what Uffie has been seeing in training so far.

And another one from the ref. 
No card, we’re away on an attack and the ref calls us back to allow the Adelaide defense to get back in position.

If you want to stop an attack just go down clutching your head and the ref will have to blow.
