Interesting that Bouzanis starts both half’s

I think Florin scoring is very important. He's been really ordinary as a whole for us since he came over, but i do hold out hope that with a bit of confidence he could actually turn out to be an effective player for us.

Yes please!

Just watched the goal highlights and we look a lot more cohesive in the final 3rd than last season.

Breath of fresh air.

On the club's twitter. Bloody hell, those goals are all class. Won't see better anywhere.

Berenguer managing to connect with a volley - must have new contact lenses this season.

What is this behind closed door rubbish? People want to see two aleague teams warming up against each other. Honestly, we act like this is our last practise before the champion league semifinal.

These pre-season matches...hope the new Independent League does something and introduces more real competitive football. By this stage every year most  A-League fans are suffering "off-season fatigue."

Lol who gives a shit, its a bloody friendly. Its obv nice to win but anyone that reads anything into the pure result is a moron.

The clubs keep the inter-league friendlies close doored for a reason - they dont want to burn fans out early. You only have to come on here about R20 and see people sooking about the league being stale and boring as proof.
The other reason theyre behind closed doors is people read far too much into them, and it can affect their consumption patterns during the season, particularly if the results are poor. Out of sight, out of mind for most people.

Sure it’s only a friendly but WHEN can read you something into a game then? When it’s to late in round 1 or 2? You play your best available eleven so the intend was there to have a serious crack and make a statement.

Agreed. And let a stupid own goal like that be a wake-up call not to keep passing the fucking ball backwards. And I'd rather see our lads learn that lesson in pre-season than during the season proper.

Also, who did we field during the match? So far Mombaerts has been trying various combinations, and again better to do that now than in rounds 1-5. 

Najjarine was our goalscorer.
