He caught a couple though last night, which is a start. Just needs to build on that confidence he would have taken from those 2 or so he took late in the game. Looked much more decisive.

Quietly confident tonight, Brisbane have been a bit shaky the last few weeks while we have lifted ever since the champions league started. I hope we take a page out of the Newcastle book.

Not to mention our back line is depleted.
North, Franjic, Brown and Donachie all out. We're playing steffanutto in the guts

Promising performance. Roar are just better at closing down space and more fluent in attack. But we are competitive now and not a 2-3 goal a game free hit

Well it sucks to have to lose with such little time left.
Was a good performance but still not good enough.
Brisbane is where we have to get to they are so sharp fit and clinical, well deserved Premiers!!

Why didnt Ansell play? He didnt play midweek
Geez, hasn't Thomas come a longgggggg way! Dare I say it, he actually looks confident. 
Great effort by the boys. Defending much better last 2 games.

Based on that display we have closed up a lot of the gap between us and Roar. Very promising signs. Just a pity we didn't get a point for our efforts.
Now let's hope WSW stuff it up today and we retain second spot

One of the best second half defensive performances by Victory this year.
Beaten by a long range goal.
Plenty to look forward to in the finals.

We still turned the ball over to many times, which was exactly the result of their goal, looking at the roar last night they are still miles ahead in terms of being clinical.
Can't see us beating them if we play them in a final or the Grand Final unless the Roar have one mega off day.
You never know in a do-or-die final, especially when the pressure will be all on them.

Brisbane have delt with enough pressure over the last five year too suggest they can handle pressure no worries, we are just not good enough in comparison on merit to beat the Roar. We can't even beat the scum of SydneyFC ffs!!
*Look I would love nothing more to win the Grand Final you guys know that, but I just can't see it happening against the roar.
*note (feel free to sig the above statement)

Brisbane have every right to be favourites, and strong favourites. But it's not a foregone conclusion just yet.
Long balls are our weakness. Newcastle done it three times this season. They started Virgili who hasn't started in months just to exploit steffanutto with his lack of pace.

Barba in great touch at present. Make it a hattrick!!
