Round 2 Methcarthur away

[greenlig]

13 pages of comments and @FFC Mariner posting "The perfect away performance" - my do we live in heady times! Who would we say were our worst on park?

I've actually seen Mariners gear out in brissy today. Admittedly I'm not prepared to dust mine off just yet. But its a good sign.

I don't think anybody has mentioned it....but that 75th minute save from Biraz.....holy f**k.
I mean, he's going the other way, he's already committed, ball is blasting into the other side of the net and goes into bullet-time and says 'nah, not today champ'.

world class . i reckon i was about the time i started channeling gandalf against the balrock . ellos no entrarán

It tracks with the rest of the team. Tongyik, Rowles, Stensness, Nisbet, Clisby, DDS all look to be in a better place this season. Obviously been a lot of work behind the scenes on that and doesn’t seem to affected by Ziggy departing.

Yes. They are all a lot fitter after a tough pre-season.

I'm surprised you didn't also mention that last minute block by Stens. Even Bozza called it Birrazesque.

Bozza’s still hurt that he didn’t get a full-time contract with the Mariners.

Bozza doesn’t pick the players. It goes purely off stats.

Yup, scarily spot on and a flawless analogy

I gave them a spray on Facebook.

Plenty did on Instagram as well, maybe they should rethink how it’s decided as the stats are not ideal.

Was that the one where he sprinted back and slid? Yeah, I forgot who did it, but when I was talking about fighting to the end, that's what I had in mind - and great to see he had the fitness and spirit to do it too.

anyway, yeah, the TOTW is based off stats using some system somewhere.

People like to think stats are perfect when it comes to sport.

Agreed. Don't see how Roara back 4 were the best 4 of the weekend. Would like to know where you see the player ratings for the week.

. that's because stats are objective so not influenced by opinion and 'subjective' measures. stats should be near-perfect ... but what is being measured may be completely useless with context

. however impact on games requires subjective assessment ... but it is difficult to measure on a comparable scale and that assessment is open to bias - so flawed logic supports the use of stats

. i actually don't mind winning and not having players in the team of the week. it means we don't have standout players that we rely on ... it is getting back to our roots - no marquees, but a team that plays as a team

... and last year it probably would have cannoned into the post, rebounded off Ruon, Birraz would have made a diving save only to palm it into Kye's head for an own goal

..... then on video review Stens would have received a red card for sliding and the attacker falling over him. Matty is still blowing up on the restart, half the team is too late in realising we are a player down and they score a late second

. shows how things have changed
