Why the delayed start? We are not the home team.

Lightning in the area I thought was the reason.

 

[Fabab]

No chat about ins and outs on your game tonight guys?

 

[Vdubs]

Worth seeing this over and over

Seasons done now. Back to back 2-1 losses after leading both games, plus the 0-0 against Newcastle.

Only chance would be winning our last 3 games and hopeful that Syd/Mac/WSW can't muster up 4 or more points.

Can't see us running the table to close the season after the flat performances the past few months.

Always felt this would be a tough transition season after the recent success but didn't see the JMac issues coming.

Been an absolute shit show of a season.

Been an absolute s**t show of a season.

Highlighted by record wins. This team and season makes no sense

Yep very strange season.

Arslan missing 3 cost us- he's a level above this competition.
Leckie missing - almost ditto

Leo Natel could be another great if he can find some consistency with finding the net.

He has all the touch and class to make a huge contribution.

 

[Harry#7]

Big matches for both teams this weekend, girls a big chance to win it all this year.

 

[AJ_2000]

Finding the net again today. Keep it up after halftime

 

[AJ_2000]

Thanks for your service Jmac

Best of luck with what's next

Looks like he isn't going to the new NZ team which was the strong rumour a few weeks back.

Japan Div 2 were chasing him pretty hard during the jan transfer window. A non a league opportunity... Maybe the NPL

 

[Harry#7]

Rumours now both J mac and Curtis Good off to India, Maclaren apparently had an MLS offer too, I reckon he would go well over there.
Sad to see them both go.
Girls won't have it easy but I'm confident they can beat Sydney on Saturday, 5th GF win. As for Sunday who knows, both sides have been flakey, but sadly I think Victory take it.

 

[AJ_2000]

Im fancying a revenge tour. Knock out Victory this week and thump CCM the week after at home to square up for the home GF last year.

 

[pantskyle]

This has been a real painful watch.

Dogshit season.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

For me, we gave up any chance of the season not being dogshit when we took the $$$ for Behich to go to Saudi Arabia.

Apparently we needed the money more than we needed one of our best players. I can't really comment on the club's financial position, but this sort of tactic is what my VFL team used to do during the late 70s and early 80s, sell it's good players to other clubs, and it really is ****ed.

 

[Borough Blood]

Still a great end to the season

 

[Bont2Bruce]

Will gladly take the away win to start the season. Nice debut performance from Beach. Not much else to write home about though. Jeggo must have known there was only one outcome once he made that stomp, just unprofessional and stupid.

 

[AJ_2000]

He'll be missing a few extra weeks for sure. But we looked pretty settled and the Jets didn't great chances after the red.

 

[AJ_2000]

Felt we outplayed WU tonight, so deserved the points. Across 3 games, outside of a 20 min meltdown in the derby, we've been decent.

Bit worried about Tilio, could be a lengthy time on the sideline with a hamstring. Went down and struggle to limp off.....

 

[Bont2Bruce]

Glad we have the bye during this poxy all about Sydney round. The train-shutdown by the striking workers would make it bloody hard to get around Sydney this weekend.

 

[AJ_2000]

Yeah good luck .

It's almost a 3 week break with the international break and bye week.

Will be interesting to see how we return back for a packed December slate
