After seven rounds its fair to say that the field has narrowed to seven teams that can win it. That’s easy enough to say but remember after four rounds we wrote of Sydney and Newcastle? Heart are gone, build for next season already, Wellington as we Melbourne Victory were season one, will take some time to build, that’s the Ernie Merrick way. Adelaide fans though, well they should feel cheated.
Our big observation:
The next generation of Socceroo is well and truly on the way, Adam Taggart, Kwame Yeboah leading the way this weekend
These snuck under the Crossbar (likes)
• Kevin Muscat showing who is in charge when James Troisi headed for the tunnel, it went something like “Get back here and f#@king sit down” (These Bunnings chairs are ever so comfortable)
• Amount of goals, the quality of goals – @bneil33 – Franjic, Duke, Taggart, Yeboah
• Jacob Burns – No yellow card. #DreamBeleiveAcheive
What went over the crossbar (dislikes)
• Referees making the game about themselves. stamp it out FFA.
• What happened to Aziz Behich? Wasn’t he a Socceroos contender a few seasons back?
• Early Saturday games, we might continue to put it in here for the rest of the season. please tweet @thefootballsack if you like Sat 5:30 games, we’d love to hear from you.
• The two Melbourne teams use of the Marquee spot.
Ref Watch: Round Seven
Okay, so 99% of your dislikes last year were referee related even when we said NO REFS, so we have added ‘Ref Watch’ this year and will try to be completely balanced in our appraisal.
Grade: C
You see the problem is.. If you give free kicks all over the ground EVERY. TIME. SOMEONE. FALLS. OVER. then you back yourself into a corner and have to blow your whistle when Jeronimo goes down in the box after the slightest of touches. Ben Williams made Saturday night about himself. Strebre is miles ahead of the pack.
These players have played for both teams
Nik Mrdja – Mariners Vs Victory
