Well it’s for a good cause isn’t it? it’s probably more that our players aren’t that famous....for Australia to flock to a Melbourne City auction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably an unpopular opinion that I have but I'm personally sick of various appeals. Yes, the money goes into much needed relief, but if nothing is really done to mitigate the cause of these emergencies, then we just repeat the pattern again and again, and it's just a bottomless pit into which we pour money. Also I'm very wary of where the donations actually go, how much actually reaches the people in need and how much is squandered in administration. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I'm very wary of where the donations actually go, how much actually reaches the people in need and how much is squandered in administration. I worked on a few houses after Black Saturday and the amount of money wasted was ridiculous. We did one job where the guy lived in an actual tin shed which burnt down and wasn't insured. He was given $220k and pretty much blew it and now lives in an unfinished concrete garage because he wanted to build a 3 level 5 b.r house for him and his 2 dogs. We then had another job where the house was lost and she wasn't eligible for one cent because she was working interstate at the time so it wasn't her primary residence. It ended up costing her money to repair all the infrastructure that was destroyed when Grollo's came in with their bulldozers and excavators.

But most of these clubs and (more generally speaking) brands aren’t in the position to effect change at the root cause and most of them just want to help in the limited way they can, so why discourage that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because everyone "feels good" and in reality fuck all is done in terms of infrastructure and a couple of years latter the cycle starts again.

xXCiTyZeNXx Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Can we stop passing out wide all the bloody time and go through the middle. Thats how our first goal came through Florin opening up the middle allowing jamie room on the side to pass to Noone which created the goal. We need to set up in the middle not setting up on the wing.

Mr MO Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Great goal from Noone! See what happens if we keep the ball low around the box. How often did Noone go around his defender? Zero, mix it up please - too many cut ins. We are still rushing it long and high way too often. Play at your strength.

Nate Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Thank fuck for Delbridge, otherwise we lose this game. Bouzanis was tidy too all things considered, credit where credit's due. Wales was absolutely dreadful, it was almost symbolic when he came off for Susaeta because it's going to be him that'll directly replace Wales and actually have an end product from now on you'd hope. Overall, we should have done way more against the bottom side at home but a clean sheet is good (defending was honestly great across the park for the first hour but then petered out) but so sloppy in attack. 3 minutes ago, hyperfuzz said: Best performer on the field was Kate Jacewicz.
