Six yard tap In. Hardly a return to form.
I we resign him on tonights game then someone has really lost their marbles.

 

[Gopher of Pern]

Didn't do badly, but didn't do a whole lot either.

Got the tap in, but stuffed up a few passes.

Jury is still out.

Bloody sight better effort than the open goal he missed against Sydney -- he was in position, he got his foot to the ball, it went in. So in that respect you'd have to say an improvement in form.
Let's not be stupid here, of course he won't be resigned just on tonight's game. This is just one stepping stone, there are a lot more needed before he's invited to sign on again. He'll undoubtedly be given more opportunities as the season progresses. If he takes all those, works his arse off, knocks in some more goals then he MAY be offered another contract. Of course, he may not, he may no longer be part of Lawrie's future plans, we don't know yet. But for the good of the team, I hope his form will keep on improving for however many more matches he has with us.

Hey well h's still ahead of DMac

The "tap in" was instinctive and thats exactly what you want from a 6 yard box predator.

We have been missing this since Sasho left.

To be fair, his overall play was poor. his work rate compared the the shift that Kwas and Matty put in was a bit ordinary and we start defending from the front. Leave Matty to do it all and you allow the other side back into the game.

Minus the likely Scottish swearing, this was possibly the point that Lawrie was making to him from the side line.

Two things i noticed about Nik's goal. Yes, it was an easy chance but he was in the right place and showed a good strikers instinct, knew where the goal was and just hit it first time. I think a month or so ago he would have thought about it too much and stuffed it up. Good sign. Secondly how happy were all the other players for him? If he was not putting in at training and not been a team player it would be hard to imagine them reacting like that. It was obvious they were delighted for him. Let's hope there are lot's more goals to come.

 

[Nik Mrdjas Disco Bikkie]

Really it was Clarky that made that goal, but still a tap in is better than nothing

had to love boogs trying to celebrate and get in on the hug and just ended up head butting mrdja's arm over and over again

Clearly Boogs needs some work on his aim....how could ya miss a snozz that size

 

[Wombat]

I actually thought Mrdja looked quite lively....of course he looks lazy compared to Matty....but to me he looked reasonably on his game and I did fancy him to score.
Hopefully he's turned the corner because although he has deserved the slagging he's kopped this season i'd much rather be giving him a pat on the back each week and urging LM to resign him.
This bloke was a quality striker and i'd love him to show some of that quality again and drive us through to our first ever grand final win.
