I guess it shows how much I couldn't care less at the moment that I had no idea we were playing tonight.

 

[Greenery]

First half of Brisbane Wellington game, fast paced high quality football.
On the whole I'd say the quality of games, intensity have improved significantly post covid.
Love all the kids playing and they can play too, state of the league not looking so dire all of a sudden.

 

[Andonis1997]

Great game, glad we got a result out of it.

Sotirio really is a special kind of striker...

One that can't finish?

 

[Andonis1997]

Exactly.
He's been a professional for years and he's still doing this s**t.

We have a few passengers at the moment, hope they can find their form in the finals.

 

[Colonial]

Well that was fricken soft

No that is not the case. The ffa has announced ground changes to games and the sydney fc game will be open to crowds.

 

[gaskin]

It is surprising they are still opening to crowds after a positive case. Now is the time to just ban crowds for the rest of the season.

 

[ioppolo]

One case. 1. A single human. He might infect 10 others. None of them will die.

 

[Visions]

So Western Sydney done for the season.

Some pearler goals from Diamanti last night, second one especially.

Leaves them in the box seat for the last finals spot, especially if Adelaide don’t win on Tuesday.

 

[Andonis1997]

So if we stay in 3rd we'll either play Adelaide or Western...

I'm scared, boys. Regular season Nix would demolish them. Post-Covid Nix don't make me confident in the slightest. And we choke in finals against Victorian teams.

 

[giggler99]

Victory up 3-0!!

Are Perth Legit throwing this game? they really look like they couldn't give a stuff!

 

[gaskin]

they really look like they couldn't give a stuff!

Does anyone, really? We have looked disinterested since the season restart.

Lots of diamanti

 

[Elmer_Judd]

I know my 4K HD TV can do it, but somehow I am unable to watch City v Adelaide on a dual screen as The Crows v Pies which is happening at the same time.

So annoying.

Anyhow Melbourne seen to be on top after a slow start.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Now we need western union (refuse to call them United) to get no more than 2 points for us to get 6th. If only we didn’t have that awful run pre-hiatus otherwise we wouldn’t need to rely on another team slipping up, only ourselves to blame

And we need Western to defeat City to have any chance of second. I'm torn. I want the Reds in the final, but... we also want second.

All the very best for the finals, would love to see the Nix go all the way for once. Sad we won’t be there this season, but I’m sure we’ll return to the finals the next season

 

[Colonial]

Hmmm Victory vs Wanderers.

Loathe each about the same but have respect for Victory.

Go the (Navy) Blues.

 

[CakeEater]

Weve absolutely sucked in the bubble.

Thanks bud! The way Carl has you guys playing I expect nothing less than a strong run into the finals next year
