Threshold that I’m sure literally any other team else would trigger.
Our boys better avoid sneezing too loud on Friday, or they might get slapped with a week or two on the sidelines!

Don't make me laugh!
But 2 assists for Zawada would be fine 👍
No changes. A picture of consistency in that regard so far this season. Big congratulations to Kosta too - great servant to the game in the country and this league as well. Hopefully taking home the full 3 points tonight to celebrate!
Conchie & van Hattum the ones to miss out on matchday squad of the original 20 named. Gotta be a little worried for OVH if the academy lads are still getting a shout over him. Unless he's still coming back to full fitness after his injury layoff...
imanixsupporter To be fair we have a few players under Uffie that looked average that are performing under Italiano

My thoughts exactly - there won't be any consistency with that.
Marto Victory fans were sceptic when he signed for Sydney. Acting like they developed him from day one!

They obviously love the taste of Vic ass.
Another hatty coming
Contrary to other comments, I thought Victory were relatively decent in their last two games. They had a 5:3 against Jets and the 1:1 against the Reds that were playing well but had a player sent off.
Yup, MV looking kinda hot. If they hadn't received a red card against Adelaide they would have won as they were dominating. It'll be interesting to see how we attack Melbourne because they seemed to be completely all over Adelaide who themselves are a very scary attacking unit.
A draw is a win for me in this one.

Surprised Popa turned it around to be honest.
The boys are hot off 2 wins and looked particularly good last game. I reckon we'll pick up the 3 points.

Well, that's disappointing...
Miranda is out which is good and maybe Geira and Traore so they could be light in defence. I hope we come out with intent we did in the Brisbane game.

Can't have the leagues biggest star missing games.
Remember when Berisha got off kicking out at Durante because he claimed Durante was choaking him, despite all the video showing he was just trying to give Berisha a hand up and was nowhere near Berishas throat?
Nix primetime games in Melbourne scare me.
Don't scare me, Nix. At least draw this.

Win at home, draw away. Time tested formula for success.

OVH probably isn't young and sexy enough anymore. The Nix are desperate to have their own Irankunda and sell him for big bucks. Players OVH's age & quality are a dime a dozen.
Semi joking aside. I've never seen anything from OVH in the A-League that made me want to see more of him or made me think he'd ever develop into starting A-League quality.

THAT was a yellow for Pennington?! Sets him up nicely to be the Nix player getting a red card tonight - on his 50th Nix game too
Wtf was that call? Diving?
This ref is always so bad every time I watch him
Shaun Evans is always trouble. That call was disgraceful.
There is too much diving in the sport, but there was fudgeing contact!!!!!
Better put money on Victory because no fudgeing chance that precedent is consistent.

Worst ref in the league. You can bet your bottom dollar it won't go the other way.
Not a fan of the Vic fans booing Kosta, it's not like we stole him.
