Trip to Adelaide - Round 7 (Adelaide meet up page 3)

[MattSimon]

I knew Matty had it in him. Very proud of the performance tonight. I was worried of a Jets-esque 5-0 humiliation but, of course, I had forgotten that after all we are the MARINERS.

Thats what I thought at the time but Fox Sports said cornflake and the HAL site had himwith a yellow before the second one?? ???

Unbelievable.

We were dead. Deader than a Norwegian Blue. And we came back. Bloody hell we can score goals - now if we only solve that whole defending problem and dealing with crap ref calls, we'll give a big shake this year.

"3-0 and you f**ked it up" chant next time Adelaide visit?

 

[FFC Mariner]

Apart from 1 terrible penalty call and one defensive disaster, we will play much worse than that and win.

Redders only made 1 error in the game and to compare him to Trott is just a f**king insult TBH. He made at least 3 top quality saves from what is a bloody good side.

I can really think of anyone who had a bad game (ok maybe Dylan - he was pants).

Interesting to hear Matty say that at HT they were told to play short 10m passes not lump it up...........

We were not dead, we were resting

"3-0 and you f**ked it up" chant next time Adelaide visit?

You got it....or when Eugene comes down the bay end "Jedi shot and you f**ked it up"
So with Jedi and Matty banging them in, and quality like Sash and Macca and dare I say it Mrdja to come back at some point, that should surely surely cover us as far as scoring enough goals to get somewhere...now to solve the defensive issues we have.

 

[thomas477]

Thanks thomas, come back any time


... unless that's sarcasm?

No sarcasm here mate, just the truth - it was a terrible penalty call.

Just exactly what HAL supporters have to put up with from these inept (at best) useless f**kwits.

Yes, thats right ref lovers, useless f**kwits.

 

[dibo]

i think we solved the defensive issue - push the opposition up the other end, and defend in numbers when we need to.

3-4-3 worked so so so well for us too - there were too many options to be easily shut down. let's stick with it. when we draw, we'll draw 3-3. when we win, it might be 5-2. it'll be farking entertaining one way or another!

Harsh words but true. Last year we were denied a penalty that cost us a chance to equalise in the grand final. Tonight a crap penalty to Adelaide cost us the game and top spot (albeit probably only temporarily) on the ladder. These decisions are too costly.

 

[Blair]

Another shit call and a dive if i have ever seen one and btw how good is Mile what a player has to play against Qatar has to.
VOTE 1
  MILE
4 BEST
PLAYER

 

[nutmeg]

at least it shut the adelaide fans up for a bit
we had one standing with us when mile scored the penalty and we gave it to him

luck will come our way sooner or later, scum have had plenty!

 

[cruiser]

On Foxtel they were wondering post match whether the final result may have a psychological affect on Adelaide in next weeks ACL game. I normally wouldnt give a **** but in this instance I hope it doesnt. I really want to see Adelaide go all the way. 

 

[Wombat]

Usual story...........gutsy never say die performance from the boys in yellow/dodgy as f**k at the back/real handful up front/disgraceful reffing yet again!

Redmayne.....whoa...not as bad as Trotty but still very scary.

Clark..not bad.

Bojic...solid as usual and great tackle that Williams's drug f**ked mind somehow saw as a penalty.

Wilko...good game, finally played like a captain.

Boogs...quite game but ball to simon for the equaliser was superb.

Osman...average at best.

Jedi....excellent as usual..what a great goal.

Caceras...bit invisible in patches but brilliant for 15 min spell when could have had a hatrick on another day.

Porter...poor..passing is substandard and can't tackle...we improved dramtically once he came off.

Simon...equal MOM with Jedi. Very impressive game and his improvement this season is remarkable.

Sasho..reasonable game.

Great comeback and we are the most resilient side in  HAL but set piece defending is still appalling!!

Williams was disgraceful and FFA MUST do something about these muppets!

 

[bikinigirl]

. good to see us come from behind ... reminded me of season 1 (too much of the opposite recently)

. top class finish again by matty

 

[marinersman]

Well fark me, what a weird and wonderful game it is we love.

Bad penalty call, bad CCM defending, Adelaide on fire the first half an hour, Caceras misses a sitter, we come into the game and have the better of the play, more bad CCM defending and then before you know it, it's 3-3.

Matty's first touch for his goal was world class and a neat finish. Mile was a gun as usual.

Agree with Dibo, three up front is what we should be doing more of. We have the strikers, let's go for it.

It's funny how things work out, Caceres I believe has solved our attacking mid problem, we just need another centre half and push Wilko out to his best position, right back. We are leaking far too many goals, just like V2.

And Stringers up front? Give me a break. He wouldn't know how to score a goal.

 

[bjw]

Stringers had a very strong call for a penalty at the end though...

 

[~Floss~]

Credit to Lawrie for that move (porter for dyl at 3-0 down, pre-60min mark; talk about excitement)

Even Slater et.al. have given up on their boring/defensive tactic accusations.
