Shocking last 20 minutes.

Not a huge surprise. We only used 2 subs, and still look like in preseason mode - Brisbane used their 5, and fresh legs are key late in the game.

Still good to get the 3 points, and learn a lesson about killing off the game (and not using your bench). Plenty more improvement ahead

We are going to piss it in again in the league aren't we ? Love it

I honestly can't see anyone stopping us. Only loss I can envisage, might be a proper derby game (not that plastic one)

We'll not be pissing it in with s**t like this.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Extremely disappointing.

Glover was just channelling his inner Bouzanis.

Both goals were on him

I'm not overly concerned. Brisbane deserved a point last week, Adelaide got lucky with two chances at the death.

It's good for the team to get a kick in the pants early and realize that 2-0 isn't enough, we became a great team last year when we'd score 3, which would then turn in to 4,5,7,8 etc.

Kisnorbo does have a selection challenge, which he'll need to work out. Our first 11 is pretty stellar, which can mean you are reluctant to make changes off the bench, but Covid football with up to 5 changes means that the opposition will be coming at you in the last 20 mins. If we're not using the bench effectively and haven't put teams away, expect results like this to continue.

Watch out for Victory this season. Have recruited well across the whole organisation, and does not take a lot to go from zero to hero.

Well said regarding the subs. We have such a strong list so rather than giving Tilio and Cola a couple of minutes they need more.

Atkinson and Royston too. We run deep all over the park

They were both out injured though weren’t they?

After what was quite possibly one of the worst penalties I have ever seen from Tilio we finally get on the board.

Not sure why Leckie didn't take the pen

It is unlikely Tilio will ever take one again!

 

[Elmer_Judd]

A win is a win but not a very convincing performance really

I remember this one

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Diabolically bad start!

Terrible half.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Terrible half.

Absolutely pathetic.

Absolutely pathetic.

Team is being a bit cocky this season and are being outplayed.

 

[Boultzboi]

Uninspiring to say the least. It's feeling like Joyceball 2.0.

I'm at the game and even active seem flat

So much possession but we seem so limp in attack. Leckie very uninspiring for mine so far this season.

 

[AJ_2000]

It's a bit static and they're sitting back and we're slowly shifting the ball left then back then right, very old school Heart/City build up.

We're creating a few half chances, just need to bag one and it will bring 2.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Truly awful.
