Kinnibari Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Listen LIVE on TuneIn - http://tunein.com/radio/Melbourne-City-W-League-Live-s256286/ Last home game of the regular season. We're playing Sydney, who are going to be playing in the other semi final. If they win we'll meet them again in the final*, but I'm hoping we'll play Canberra. We will go the regular season undefeated if we win/draw, and also can take out the most goals scored in a season record with another 3 goals, iirc. I wonder if we'll play a full strength team or if we'll give them a rest and give other players a chance at some game time. *I am assuming we'll make the grand final but if there's ever a City team to assume we'll make the grand final, this is it. (Note on the thread title: round 13 was a bye for us, we haven't missed a round.) Edited January 15, 2016 by Kinnibari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidrildid6 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I don't know, we will play either the Roar or the Jets in the semi-final, and both those teams have given us a real run for our money. Would not count anything as a given just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinnibari Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 We've rested a few players and Sydney are playing with intent so it's an even game so far, with us having the slight edge. A good game to lead into the finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinnibari Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Big save from Davey after a poor effort from Beattie which Sydney latch onto. I think this is the busiest I've see her this season. At the other end we've had several good crosses but no one in front of the goal Hope we can sort that out.

Kinnibari Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Another cross, right to a Sydney player in from of their goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinnibari Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Catley brings the ball up the wing and Tabain scores! Not the best keeping but still good work to get a shot on Edited January 16, 2016 by Kinnibari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinnibari Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 We are definitely more on top this half, but Sydney are still dangerous. With better finishing we could be three goals up but at 1 nil the game is still open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinnibari Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Annnnd Sydney have now scored. 1 nil, bounced off the post but they pick up the rebound. 71 mins gone, Sydney have made all three subs and look dangerous still. Surely we'll make a sub soon? Crowd 602 people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinnibari Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 A fair result in the end but there wasn't much in it. Fishlock slightly injured: went down near the end of the game and got treated, then stretched after the game and went down the tunnel first. Doesn't look too serious but could be better. 28 minutes ago, fidrildid6 said: Has any other club equalised against us? I had a quick look and it doesn't look like it, but I'm not 100% sure.

Indeed. All we seem to have done is treat them like footballers and We actually spent the (minisicule) salary cap. Strikes me it's what the league desperately needed.

It's fairly embarrassing that City in their first season cleans the table with the other teams, shows a real lack of respect to the women's game from all the other participants. Shame really, not complaining on our front though! We have obviously set the bar fairly high now, so hopefully the other clubs now put a bit more effort into their women's comp or else we'll be schooling the league for a fair while... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, it´s a wake up call to the rest of the clubs.. As for the players I´m sure they have a very good idea about how much MelC are willing to spend not only on wages but also on infrastructure and future integration between the CFG womens teams.
