We benched Gomes?

42

Fuck that. He’s not good enough. Fabio has so much more to his game, as well.

I’m more willing to believe Fabio isn’t 100% fit.

That’s got to be one of our weakest starting 11s in a while. We might struggle here.

44

That is one hell of a young bench.

Am I right in saying that all up in today’s squad there are 10 players that have come through our youth setup?
Question marks over Rhyno and Burgess so maybe it’s only 8?

45

Yep. Our injury list is pretty serious now.

King
Rodwell
Gurd
Mak
Kucharski

Anyone else I’m missing?

Good to see Koalas here. After Hornsby Gladesville joined with the women’s association and became North West they apparently stopped taking the club’s calls for a while. Only seemed to be paired with Parra lot for a while. I believe Hornsby Gladesville was linked with us, them lot and the Mariners for a while.

That XI is fucked and Uffy gonna hear about it.

Good to see koala’s (burribee) anywhere given what we’re doing to their habitat.

Lolley is MAYBE what stops that from being the weakest team we’ve put out in club history.

50

No Branners? And he missed their last game here due to suspension from a red the previous week, IIRC. Has he played us here?

51

Yes, but only for Perth, I think.

52

Wood starting is absolutely ridiculous unless Fabio has a niggle.

Great atmosphere today, cooler weather helping a bit to get everyone up for it? Friday games don’t usually feel like this.

54

Jesus that was awful defending


55

Again. Redmayne on a one on one makes himself as small as possible as if to guarantee that he doesn’t save it, and is inexplicably crouching statuesque as the ball goes past him into the net.

What the fuck?

More worried about our positioning of backs. Both in no man’s land.

57

Top level broadcasting. At no point in the 60-90 seconds that took to confirm did they show us a wide angle to view.

And when they eventually did it was a crap view of it

59

Never change Patty

My first instinct was to wonder how he could’ve over-run that. Hollman’s ball was great. To find Wood with his actual positioning, the ball would’ve already had to be going in.

Another extremely avoidable offside there by Wood as well. Fucking ridiculous.
