    I have been shocked at the development of this kid, don't be surprised if he really makes this spot his own. 

    He's a very capable one on one defender but his reading of the play is very good and knows when to peel off. 

    if he's come in for Adam Tommlinson it could really suggest it's going to be harder and harder for Tommo to gain a spot as a defender in this team

    I suspect that Petty will be given until Monday to prove his fitness. If fit, poor old Tommo comes out. If not fit, Tommo will keep his place in the side.

    Socceroos get past the UAE

    This team of largely unknowns might just make it to the world cup

    One last hurdle and it's a tough one ... away to Peru at 4 00am next Tuesday

    I can't believe anyone wouldn't call the winner an own goal. The volley was hit straight at the keeper, but the massive deflection off the defender gave him (keeper) no chance. Without that deflection it would have been a straightforward save.

    Glad the Socceroos won though. Peru ... hmm, Socceroos not that good really.

    Ginnivan paid a free for the same thing Spaz got called holding the ball last night. Corrupt or incompetent?

    A strict free kick filth policy has been implemented today. The umpire closest to the play clearly forgot that, however another umpire 40 metres away rectified that by paying the free kick.

    No free kick paid to Sicily for the same thing in Q2 leading to a filth goal.

    I have found the definition of "prattling"; it's Lyon's overanalysis of every piece of play. I know he's the special comments guy, but he never shuts up. Reiwoldt is much better ... Hilarious comment pre game by Lyon ... the match between Oliver and Jiath is a match up for the ages. Really?

  4. Very disappointing.

    Putting money on the Swans at ridiculous odds only goes a small way to dealing with this disappointment.

    It reminded me of that dreadful match against the filth years ago when we kept bombing it forward and Oxley took 16 marks.

    Sam Reid = latter day Kent Kingsley.

  5. Have commentators been given a directive not to comment on umpiring errors?

    Crows v WCE ... 3rd goal, blatant throw to Soligo who kicked the goal. Perhaps the umpires were blindsided (all 3 of them!!), but the commentators Healy + others said nothing.

    True. You hear oppo fans practically issuing death threats especially to the umpires. In contrast, the closest I heard to threatening an umpire on Saturday was when one of our cheer squad members yelled out, “Who gave that man a whistle?!” 😂 That’s SO Melbourne. 

    I can't imagine Dees' supporters referring to them as "snot goblins" ....
