Loved Georgevski spraying Bujis right near the final whistle while he was laying on the turf and then giving the big ones to the Sydney fans. Bloke is such a competitor, just loves it!
Amazing night, are we actually going to win this Comp? It’s starting to look more and more real!
You are right. Brown was very good. I think he made way for Kanta as Kanta has more mongrel in tackles.Quote:

Regardless of what happens over the rest of this season (except for a win against sCCuM), it’s just been great to have an entertaining and competitive team that can win games to support again. Long may it continue.
Could we crack 20K?
Ummm dont like Ryu Griff?Quote:

That might have cost us a 20k crowd.
Not gonna defend the heinous crap that spouts from the member but that one was a bit of an overreaction from the mods.Quote:

Anyone watching at home:
Was there much kerfuffle over the Ninkovic tackle on Boogaard.
Because from where I was sitting it looked particularly nasty.
it looked bad in real time, replays weren't as bad, it was his rear foot that collected him, no studs or anything. rightly so, boogs got a bit shirty about it.Quote:

Stat attack...we have scored 30% of the goals Sydney have conceded this season.
Also, top four is 99% guaranteed. Adelaide or Wanderers have to win all their games and us lose them all to catch us.
I’d forgotten about the show. We park halfway up Young Rd and drove out Lambton way. Easy as. Guess it depends where you live but I didn’t find it any harder last night than when we get 8k.Quote:

one thing i noticed in the 2nd half (had a better view) was that as Sydney were working it from side to side in the backs to tire out Nabbout and Petratos, when the ball eventually fell to that Buijs dude, they stopped closing.
it was almost as if if Merrick had told them to let Buijs be the one to start the attack, and even when he broke the first line the blokes marking Ninkovic and Polish dude didnt leave their man.
they let him walk right through, but made him make a decision without having anyone open. and because he is actually a pretty terrible footballer, he cocked it up, the Jets turned him around and went on the counter.
It was a very New England Patriots type coaching move.
it was great discipline from the Jets.
Anyone else noticed O'Neill's face at 1.01

Just weird...
(Sorry I don't know how to embed videos...)
I noticed that before. Respect to O'Neill to be fair. It actually looks like he thinks it's a harsh call. It's only ****s like Brosque who would actively encourage the ref to send him off no matter how much Buijs hammed it up.Quote:

Arnie: "I think that was the worst thing that happened to us, Roy being sent off and them going down to 10 men."
What a load of rubbish... it was a massive advantage and he knows. I think he's clever enough to realise the real reason they lost.
But I secretly hope he's genuinely convinced that everything depends on his team's behavior on the day: he could be in for some nice surprises.
Either way, they must be scared as hell now...
Now, I'm no lip reader of the calibre that deaf bloke Cleaver Greeen (aka Rake) hires to lip readQuote:

Wonder if it's on the chopping block if Arnie thinks it's a joke?
Edit:- Bulbus:- images compare with this f**ks head...and his sh!t haircut!
How is it blokes like Brosque are not cited over his " not going to be the grand final referee " comments. If a coach made those statements in an interview his club would get a show cause.
Who the hell is running this league Townsend or Lowy Jnr and Gallop for christ sake ?.
