I Don't believe that Shark Prof. You believe in this team as much as I do. We're going to win today. Easy...

That's a fair call! I totally believe they can do it, its the waiting that I cant deal with.
COYN!

My starting lineup for today:
Payne Wootton Surman Sutton
Al Taay Rufer Pennington
Kraev Kosta Old

Only change I see possible here is Ball for Old and keep him for fresh legs.

I bet Mum's going to be real happy about me ducking off from the lunch I organised to watch this game at 3:30pm my time...

I don't usually expect much from games at AAMI park - but today I'm feeling hopeful

Nervous but excited for this one. Calming my nerves watching a bit of Central League along with a few cold ones.

Come on lads - Do us proud tonight! 

Going to have to watch this after the game now unfortunately. I'll go back to 1994 from 1800 hours and hope that YouTube will be showing the game - spoiler free around 8.30pm. 
Gutted but also excited 

Probably our strongest line up. COYN!!

Time for Nick to score another goal and for Ball to break his drought. 2-0 would be my wildest dream. I really don't know how we will go.Who's the ref?? Not pop up toaster I hope. Cards galore.

Best starting 11.
Fire up! COYN!

Finish work in 30 minutes, sprint home!!

Right. I'm literally turning my phone and radio off. See you on the flippity side around 10.30pm.
Go the Nix

An away goal is king, and not letting them score at all is even better.

Away goals count for jack.
Scoring more than them across 2 legs is all that counts

C'mon Nix! Let's do this

here we go

we got a nice away crowd

Lets go boys - we got this

Just got the mood music replaced with football commentary for me and the 20 tables who were having a relaxed Mother’s Day dinner at my local 

COYN 🔥 

Payne and Ball not helping us out so far. Both need to lift. 

That's two crap passes from Payne in the last two minutes. Calm down fella.

Tim Payne stuffed again

Well done Pennington for controlling that almost-hospital pass from Paulsen. 

Did Zappa say word has it Kosta going back to a Melbourne team next year

We are chasing shadows in defence and passing to them in attack. Not sure how we get out of this but if we want to get anything from this game we need to keep the ball under control. 

Clock’s running at half the speed today, feels like the longest 25 in history 

Hate to say it but we're shark imo. Misplaced passes, poor touches and poor in 1v1's

Gotta hang on until half time but a lot of our guys aren't offering much.

apparently he has family there too, hope he stays with us

I don't think we are that bad but the week off from competitive football is probably showing. Hopefully we'll find our feet more in the 2nd half. 

Piss off Fornarolly. ✌️
Barely touched ya. 

thank god for Paulson

why do we keep trying to run it out in our own penalty area

Can Fornaroli stop diving? He’s like a floppy fish!

We have just enough on the counter and in attacking third possession to keep them wary, it’s not all one-way but definitely home advantage.

Paulsen solid as. 

Ref doing a cracking job letting legit sliding tackles through.

Crikey, Payne's had a bit of a shocker inside our own half so far. 

Pennington and Payne are piss poor today

Fair few nix players diving tonight as well.

Proving two people have two different perspectives I think Pennington has been very good!
