Oomph that was a banger of a play.  Gutted we didn't score.
Lovely work from Ball. May have missed that one on one but he's having a good game so far.

Close from Kosta, he's making the effort, just his usual Wgth accuracy letting him down.

They’ve won the ffa cup only last year,. After Yorke left it all turned pear shaped. It’s clearly a higher management issue

Rufer worried we might win or draw so is sliding around when there is no need, heart in mouth stuff.

I hate seeing that sort of wild clearance from the back under no pressure. Get a grip, you are leading and looking ok.

Those cards that hurt us. Rufer has to double guess himself

That FFA cup win was a long long time ago, alot has happened since then, including Yorke's blowup about the micky mouse running of the club. Just need to look at their last two set pieces, they are not interested.

And you don't know what the hell to expect from Kersey. He's notoriously inconsistent.

Really disappointing free kick. We've been under pressure, that was a chance to turn that around.

Uffie gets a yellow card and all our players are screaming at each other.

Seems very toxic tbh

Payne and Wootton bloody ball watching on that cross, and then arguing after the fact. One of ya's has to be jumping for that!

Come on lads, we're inviting them back into this one.

you would read it that way.
Clearly the rark up the got midweek has them fired up wanting he win. Toxic would be teamates facing up to each other and arguing.

Was hoping to see some confidence, some form regained this week against the wooden spooners. Instead we are being completely dominated and parking the bus against the worst team in the league. I don't even think I want to watch the Adelaide game at this point. Maybe I'll be lucky and macarthur grab a couple of goals and put us out of our misery for this season

From this, the top 4 teams are well above the rest this year. 

We are a decent team. But dont have the x factor they do. Looking forward to new ideas next year.... hopefully.

We were at our best when Uffie was getting in trouble for being fired up.

Game is still making me nervous but I'm holding on to any thread I can.

We have the ball on the right wing, and literally all our players pointed to Wooton for the ball to be passed back 20m.

WTF?

Standing around with that ball in the Bulls half. Nobody taking charge and all three players pointing back towards half way. Screams no confidence. If we make the finals, Adeladie would be licking their lips at that

Dead ball delivery from Sasse has gone off the boil too. Not a confidence inspiring performance the last 15-20 minutes that's for sure.

Between the shark football, whatever the fudge is going on with the colour in the broadcast and the complete lack of atmosphere this is a bit of a tough watch.

it's pretty clear to e that this team isn't playing the way Uffie has asked them to - sitting on a 1-0 lead is insane - I think it's sail and maybe Rufer leading this "we have a lead lets sit on it". You can hear Talay screaming at the players to get the ball forward - this has been the case all season, yet as pointed out we have the ball in the attacking half and then we long ball it all the way back to the keeper.

The conditions don't help but I feel we will be whipped against Adelaide.
Let's hope we see the boys get some more goals on the second half.

yeah the wide angle from the stands is horrible, the close up stuff is so much clearer.

Won't even get a point if we keep trying to defend this lead - we have no track record of doing it - and are so low in confidence.

Fudgeing Sail! such a cock! 47th minute and you wander off to get a ball from the sideline instead of the ball behind you!? - his attitude has been awful this season - Perth can have him.

That’s on Talay. It’s been going on for weeks and he’s not done anything to fix it.

not a lot he can do if the capts decide to slow play down when we have a lead - especially during the game. He can bench them - which he;s done to Rufer, he can harrass them during training which I assume he does but during the game what can he do?
