Week 17: Wellington Phoenix vs Melbourne - 29 Jan - 4:30NZDT / 2:30pm AEDT

despite an article yesterday saying that babalj was likely to be picked for olyroos, he didnt!!

dugandzic, behich and hoffman were the 3

behich should be instructed this week against wellington to get a yellow card in the last minute of the game so he will serve his 1 match suspension for getting 5 yellow cards, but it won't matter as he will be on olyroos duty and will miss out the next game anyway

[spiranovic]

happy they didnt take eli, behich is a big loss but good that hoffmans going for a while and atm dugandzic has beeeeeeeeeen shit

[cadete]

I wish that they could just keep Hoffman for good...

[Scouser]

Fuark hoff

don't think it works like that unfortunately! lol

[Pandev]

Any updates on injuries?

[ToonHeart]

Behich's 50th A-League game already.

I'd say that Behich yellow card tactic sounds good. I'm assuming he'd need another 5 after that for a further suspension, so no harm.

After the first 5 it's 4 more for a 2 game suspension i think

Not many people could disagree with this atm.

Doesn't work like that. If miss matches due to national team duty the suspension carries over til the next game. He's only a match or two without a yellow away from having them wiped, anyway.

When do they run out? 5 yellows over a year is fuck all!

[mulhollanddrive]

Good question, when's it wiped?

[Tesla]

Lads, get to the Imp tomorrow to watch this game. Its always a good time.

Unless you're Wayne srhoj

[DutchPride]

Wayne Shroj is only on 2 or 3 for the season I think!

[theresonlyonebzamora]

How many games has he played this year out of interest?

[Shahanga]

Wayne Shroj is only on 2 or 3 for the season I think!

4 for the season. (10 last year, 14 total now)

[rizzo]

Cmon you boys in red!

[bazzatron]

On my way lads, can you tell em to hold the kickoff until I get there?

[Luke]

Behich assist

[Herman Cain]

Behich - Terrible header, terrible tackle

Hamill does both in one go.

[JVR04]

Alex Terra <3

[Herman Cain]

Terra is becoming Fred-like in quality. Stepped it up big time in the last three games.

Too bad the rest of the team is just plodding today.

[Luke]

Behich has had a mare

[mhfc01]

What a terrible performance by the whole team but having said that Wellington have been great. Ifill is a fricken gun, I want him at the heart!!!

[Luke]

fuck we've been woeful

[Footballism]

No Fred, No Heart.

[Bannon]

bolton had a bloody shocker same as behich but then again no one impressed apart from terra.

[dRoy]

I just caught the last 20 mins. Booourns!

[hakz7]

WTF was that?

We must get up for Saturday's game!

[KSK_47]

That result flatters us to be honest. We were terrible.

[KSK_47]

A win for Perth now could see us bumped down to 5th.

[Joel21]

williams played the worst football i have seen for a while no touch no control

Terra played well though

[jw1739]

That's a poor result for us. What on earth has happened - just two points in 2012? At this rate we will be struggling to finish in the top six. We did the same thing last year - just don't understand these massive swings in performance. Makes me ask myself whether the squad we have is able to deliver the sort of football JvS wants us to play.
