We should be fresher with Adelaide playing Tuesday night, hopefully it goes for 120 minutes

Too young

3. Paracki 2. Jamieson (I'm pretty sure) 1. Bart

9,091 is a strong crowd until you remember that kids went free. Now there are a number of reasons why our crowds aren't larger than they are and they have seen natural growth since the club's inception, but I don't believe City have the leverage to charge $30 for an adult GA ticket. I get City want to position themselves as a 'premium' product, but we're not in the Victorian sporting landscape so we can't pretend that we are. When the big bash or AFL tickets are as little as $15-$20 it just adds another hurdle in getting people to try the A-League and Melbourne City when you charge an entry price of $30...particularly when the Big Bash and AFL match day experience is approximately three to four hours when ours is only approximately 2 hours. Drop the prices of tickets and have GA adult at $20 and not only will we see crowds increase 15-20% but it'll generate a much better atmosphere which would see the value of a Melbourne City ticket improve.

Wasn't pretty but 3 points is 3 points, a lot to work on

Great result

Played his role very well tonight I thought, I reckon he'll get a few assists in his time at City

I feel like every derby at Etihad we cop a deflection goal, nice for the shoe to be on the other foot tonight

Great result!

That's good to hear - I feared that we wouldn't pose a threat up front

Twin sisters' 21st that Friday night - spewing! I'm not super confident going into this, we look toothless in attack. Do we know if Mcormack has landed? I feel like we'd only get 30 minutes out of him.

Looking strong again!

I got a missed call about a week ago because I haven't renewed yet

I'm sure he'll be fine, don't buy into the sensationalistic commentary saying he could be out for the season.

Muscat looks very slow, getting skinned so easily

Let's not throw away this lead and finish this off before half time

If he's training but no contract, I doubt he'll be the marquee - just seeing if he's still a handy player to put under the cap.

Perhaps the $500k is because we spent so much on acquiring Cahill last year? I would've thought we would go two marquees ~$800k-$1m each

I don't think that will leave too many people disappointed, hopefully the next marquee target is a little more ambitious than some Croatian journeyman.

Rob Weilaert still lives in Melbourne (and plays futsal in Albert Park), could be an opportunity there to get Bart more settled

If we are signing these two guys, the CB seems more likely, I'm pretty happy to have wrapped up the squad so early. Even if we were to sign another player, it's not as though he'd be a core player.

No FIFA rating = I'm stumped

I don't think victory look smart at all, their hand was forced with Rojas and subsequently paid more than they would've like to retain Troisi

I feel like we'll see Troisi announced with the kit unveiling on Thursday
