Would you change anything from the previous game? Personally - I'd leave it as is :thumbsup:

Is Taggz fit - that is the main question?

keep it the same but bring on saito for at least 30 minutes.

Think i'll be watching this one tomorrow.

bring him and Archie on at the same time

There certainly is some niggle in this game.
Paramount picture quality is so poor

Hoff our most dangerous player so far.
Nuff said

Another first goal to a nobody...

Duncan having a shocker but our defence isn't doing him any favours either.

Archie on.

The Second Coming scores.

Praise Griff.

How's Archie's goal scoring stats pound for pound now :rof:

I like Archibald

Arthur must die a little bit inside when he is forced to put Archie on

Really poor defending by the Jets for Perth's second. Basic concept of being ball side and goal side right out the window. You'd be pi55ed if your under 15'd did that.

His penalty save was world class

Sure, but both goals were his fault and inability to read the ball in the air.

always been poor in the air doesn't dominate his area

Just watched the replay. That commentary team literally put me to sleep last night.

This X 1000

The guy is a liability

You can see how every team playing us loads up the 6 yard box and plays inswinging corners and drops them in under the bar when playing us

This only happens with a keeper poor in the air

Time for Big Mike to play again I think

not sure how anybody can pass judgement on that day with the 1960s quality broadcast.

a point in perth ain't too bad. Archie good again. Poor defending though. Piscopo, what a shot!

Perth have yet to lose at home this season. I'll take a point

Agree with others - a point on the road, and in Perth nonetheless, is a good result. That's 4 on the trot undefeated which is a place we haven't been since February 2021.

Draws are a killer. You pretend its alright because you didnt lose but still end at near bottom of table.

There's no kudos in multiple draws.

if there was a z-league trophy for keeping the ball in midfield with lots of pretty triangles we'd fkn walk it.

i don't watch much jerksball these days but papas does seem to have a set of players who are reasonably talented at moving the ball around.

are we missing a killer at the pointy end?

defence is another story, mind

With a starting 11 featuring Hoffman, Ingham, Al-taay, Sotirio and a non-striker up front, any non-loss is a win.

It’s less about whose at the point of attack and more about not having the player that delivers that final killer ball in to actually let Beka score. With that player behind him, he was the 2nd highest goal scorer of the season last season.

I think missing Penha has meant that a lot of our attack has slowed down. He made a lot of high risk high reward passes, which meant he had a lot of turnovers too, but when they came off they put our attackers in great positions. I feel anecdotally he made a lot of them from deep as well, which led to a lot of goals/chances that felt more like "counter attacking" style goals. These sorts of goals and chances are what we saw against Brisbane. I think we still have that in our locker to some extent, although noone really takes on as much playmaking responsibility and risk as Penha did.

Where we have struggled is when teams don't try to press us, set up in a low block and ask us to break them down. We have hardly managed to be effective against that at all this season. This is where a bit of x-factor from Boumal, Yuel and Penha gave us chances.

Sotirio and Buhagiar I don't think are strictly worse than our wingers last year, but they aren't taking the same risks and creating the same chances. They probably lack in confidence a bit, and their strength is more running into space off the ball than running at defenders to cause them headaches. Piscopo is starting to create some danger and end product, and him and Beka have some nice interplay which could see them break down tight defences.

I'm hoping the end to the season sees them continue to build, and that the last couple of weeks haven't been a flash in the pan.

I agree, but Beka scored 5 penalties last season, and he was rarely at the end of Penha's assists.
Thurgate was much better at reading Penha's passing and get in the right positions.
Nothing against Beka, he's a terrific player, he's just in the wrong role imo.
