The tears of the Roar fan. Bitter yet delicious!
No tears lol, I know the team won't be up for a fourth title this year. Just responding to a weird comment

Agreed. We should have iced the game when we had a chance
Was at the game and I'll admit it was nice to see Villa score (even if it was late on). Him and Duff were so good when in wide positions.
Think City might be a bit guilty of being too 'Villa centric' - he's a class above but seemed like they were looking for him at every opportunity.
Just a bit under 16k too, great crowd (think I went to a game last season between Heart and the Jets and it might have only been 5-7k from memory). Here's hoping the Victory and City fans can do Melbourne proud and out do the impressive turnout for the Sydney derby.
I think Melbourne City will be buggered once Villa leaves, aren't they rumoured to be after Kennedy? Massive step down in quality, they won't make finals IMO.

I think their squad is pretty good on paper tbh. They are being let down by bad tactics and a poor coach who doesn't have the balls to be more adventures with the squad he has assembled imo.

In a way, I think City 'could' be better off once Villa leaves. Didn't see their first game but from what I observed yesterday, a lot of players seemed to be always looking to play him the ball (often overlooking teammates in better positions).
Duff looks really good, if he can stay fit, he'll be very dangerous when ghosting in from wide areas. If him and Williams can get a good understanding, they might be a deadly duo.

Perth v Roar, great game to be at. At least in the second half anyway. Seemed to take everyone a little while to work into the game. Andy Keogh, huge performance. Three points earned and banked, thank you very much.

Great start by Perth. Many had them finishing last or close to it. Early days but they look better than those predictions.

Great to see all 10 teams score this round too.
Early signs are good for quite an even competition this year. Early points are going to be so important, especially before the month off for the Asian Cup.
Wanderers in 1st gear. They'll be hard at it after the final
Jealous?
