BTW — MOTM for the loss against Adelaide was Anthony Caceres. It’s his sixth for the season, putting him level at the top of that tally with Elvis Kamsoba.
Result for the match day 1 draw with Jeonbuk: Max Burgess was the popular choice, taking his 5th MOTM for the season.
Voting open now for the latest loss to Yokohama, as well as the previous one and the draw with HAGL:
With those 3 games plus another 4 ACL + ALM matches to come, there are still 21 Player of the Season points up for grabs, meaning nine players are still in the running.
Thought Elvis was good tonight in a team that hardly offered him any support. Gave him 4 points and one apiece to Yaz and Amini (nice free kick - we don’t see many of those, these days).
Harry was no way as bad as I feared too so I could lob a point or two his way.
I guess you couldn’t blame Redders for any of the goals although he didn’t really make any great saves I can recall. They had just 4 shots on target so there must have been a single save in there somewhere. He can almost pick up a point for being essentially uninvolved while shipping 3 goals.
The save he made was between decent and regulation. Second half, their big Brazilian lad was played in top of the box, hit it with his left and tried to pick out the bottom right corner. Wasn’t exactly drilled but Redders got down well to his left and gathered it cleanly. Nothing he could do about the other 3 though.
Thanks Hybrid, sounds like MOTM material for mine!
Result for the matchday 2 draw with HAGL: There wasn’t much consensus, with the top 3 picking up just 28, 24 and 22 points respectively from the 24 voters. Trent Buhagiar’s goal off the bench was enough to win him his 3rd MOTM for the season.
If you’re awake now, kill some time before the Jeonbuk match by putting in your votes for our two losses to Yokohama. And watch out for voting to open after tonight’s match.
vs Jeonbuk again
vs HAGL again… (the previous two matches are still open as well)
Results are in for the two losses to Yokohama:
For the 0-1 loss, Max Burgess got 33 votes from the 23 voters for his 6th MOTM for the season. Behind him, the two next best players earned 17 votes each, so getting 1.5 points each for Player of the Season.
For the 0-3 loss, we had one more voter (24) and one more vote for the winner (34), this time Patrick Yazbek. It’s his second MOTM for the season.
So, there are two ACL matches currently open for voting (CLICK HERE), with at least two more ALM matches to come. That means there are at least four players still in with a shot at Player of the Season (up to eight players if we make the Grand Final (
)), so every vote counts!
Thanks to everyone who has voted so far.
vs Melbourne
Last two games of the season are open now
I have the last two ACL games to catch up on the results (hopefully in the next couple of days)… then it’s just these two before we know the winner.
Thanks to everyone who’s voted so far!

Results for our last two ACL matches:
MOTM for the loss to Jeonbuk was Patrick Wood. He only came on in the 84th minute, but he’s not the latest sub to win MOTM: Marco Tilio (whatever happened to that guy) won it coming on in the 88th minute in Gosford in 2020. It’s Wood’s 3rd MOTM for the season.
For the loss to HAGL it was Anthony Caceres, taking his 7th of the season. That is the highest tally of MOTM wins so far in 2021–22.
With two games to go, there are still three players with a chance to win Player of the Season. There’s another 24h to vote for the loss to Victory, and the Brisbane match will close on Tuesday night. All votes appreciated!
Results for the last two matches of the season:
vs Melbourne Victory: Adam Le Fondre got MOTM to go along with his goal. It was close, as he beat second place by just 2 votes.
vs Brisbane Roar: Anthony Caceres took his 8th MOTM for the season, picking up votes from 21 of 22 voters.
As always, thanks to everyone who has voted!
I will put together and release the full SFCU Player of the Season results in the coming weeks. It is a very close one.
Would love to see people’s predictions for the top 5.
To help, MOTMs went to:
8 - Caceres (1 joint MOTM)
6 - Burgess (1 joint), Kamsoba (1 joint)
3 - Buhagiar (1 joint), Wood
2 - Amini, Le Fondre, Ninkovic, Yazbek
1 - Bobo, Heward-Belle, Redmayne, Talbot, Van Der Saag
