I think a lot of you are blowing our performance way out of proportion. We’re not the finished product, we had very little time as a full squad in pre-season, we were playing without a left back, and Rojas, Sutton, LKH, Retre, Colakovski etc are still to come in.
Once we’re full strength and up to speed we’ll be firing, and in the meantime we’ve got more than enough of a squad to grind out good results.

Yep, four of those at least are nailed on starters. Then the likes of Conchie, Walker, Sheridan are all subs.
I think we got found out in the second half with them pressing more and closing down the easy passing options we found in midfield between the lines in the first half. Plus it was pretty clear that a lot of the young guys and some others were very leg weary towards the end. Kosta ran his butt off but noticeably had run out of pep at the end.
Plenty more to come from these guys.
I liked the look of the young guys we had to play. I'd say they all had decent games and have some serious potential. But they aren't A League experienced and ready yet. And not match hardened.
It would have been good to hold the three points, especially with the Perth trip to come. And the guys nearly did. But with Sutton, Retre, Rojas and Cola starting we are a totally better team.
