R12: Victory v CCM @ AAMI

[greenlig]

played melbourne in the heat .

They played in the same heat, shouldn't mean we fall to pieces.

 

[Wombat]

Quality goal Trent.

go budgie go

 

[Holy]

Good on you Trent

 

[greenlig]

One bright spot.

Kind of wonder why we don't just drop our consistently underperforming players and bring in more young blood. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't - our season is gone anyway, so at least we might get more of an idea on which youngsters are ready for the HAL. Assuming there is anybody in mind.

Good work Trent. First HAL goal is always a great moment. Great finish and positioning

 

[Wombat]

Trent has to start in front of Fab against City.

 

[sydmariner]

Cahill will destroy us. He's good at finding space in the box and we're awesome at giving it. He'll just wander around behind our defenders and head the ball in whenever he feels like it.

fornaroli will to

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Agree there. Fab has been a bystander for most of this season.

You can burn/not burn whatever you like! I disagree with your assessment that the weather was the culprit, peace.

 

[nebakke]

Quality goal Trent.

Begs the question of WTF isn't he starting!?

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Because Fabio is.......err.......better......apparently..........?

Agree with that bit though.

At this point, I'm starting to think we dump Neill, get Galloway back to the left and start Appiah-Kubi as the RB, and ThatBoy at RW... Then we just have to solve the #10 issue.

There is not enough alcohol in my house to make me watch that video right now......

I think with the heat and the short turn around Trent was given less time tonight in prep for Saturday. We should hopefully have storm and Tavares back as well, with Trent starting and Galloway back to his preferred edge. While storm hasn't set the world on fire this year, having to move Galloway to cover and putting Neill in on the left has had horrific results In the last few rounds.

Fix our backline, shore up the midfield with Tavares and we will be respectable again.

I was f**king disgusted with this performance.... I thought maybe it was just my frustration leading to me agreeing with the commentators... But the difference it made to get Buhagiar and Appiah-Kubi on the park together, was immense... Appiah-Kubi might not be the best player in the world, but everything he does, he does with intensity - something that was sorely missing until the last 10 minutes tonight...
And I know that it was hot and that would've effected them, of course it would, but as has already been pointed out, MV was playing under the same circumstances.
Fox got it exactly right for once - ball coming out from goal at our end, was slow moving and dithering.
Ball coming out for MV, was fast, decisive and threatening... It was painfully obvious.
