NewConvert Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 That was the longest 49 minutes I have ever experienced. Still don't know how Wellington managed to score two goals and still lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) The cream on top is that by City winning tonight, a certain other team from an unknown location somewhere in rural Victoria (No not Western, at least we have a rough idea which area they represent) lost its chance to get the Plate.

belaguttman Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Back from the game, relieved more than excited. Positives: We won the game Back to back Premiers Great game from Leckie, he didn't score but outmuscled every opponent and looked dangerous all night We shut up that graceless rabble Good first half but... subs from PK Negatives: ...then completely lost control of the game in the second half Ollie Sail shows how a good keeper can keep his team in the game until the last minute. My heart rate went up every time Glover got near the ball unfortunately, we didn't score in front of the rabble but at least our own active got to enjoy two goals We really miss Florin's creativity and O'Neill's defensive cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyh001 Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 just got home and can't wipe the smile off the face !!!! thought we had more than enough chances to have buried them earlier, but it didnt matter if it was 2-1 or 6-0. a win is a win. back to back plates baby 😍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torn Asunder Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) First half went too fast, 2nd half was a nightmare to watch. I had to leave my seat twice as I literally couldn't watch some nux free kicks ... my stress levels wouldn't allow for it ... and if we conceded, I'd probably have jumped the fence and decked Glover ... and got arrested Anyway, very happy to win the plate. It's a significant achievement and despite the pain of how we got there, we got the points and finished on top Ufuk coaches better than PK. His tactics almost worked ... sit back in the 1st half, try and absorb pressure and then attack in the 2nd half with fresh legs and an extra attacker up front. We only just won this against an undermanned Nux. Jamo was very relieved at the end, and I guarantee you, the tards in attendance did spook them a bit. He gestured towards the tards to basically say our supporters are better, when he celebrated with our Active But in all seriousness, our club makes dumb choices... the free tickets were always gonna get taken up by the scum ... yes, it made for some atmosphere, but it could have cost us ....and we'd have never lived that down But fuck them soulless turds ... at least they know they made a wasted effort, saw their dog team lose the plate, and also live with the fact that they were chanting "Phoenix!" I swear they were trying everything to put off the boys, including throwing food on the pitch for the Gulls Without Flo and O'Neil, and with PKs approach, we are unlikely to with the GF ... but ya never know. Premieres plate ultimately will over time be recognised as the better trophy, so once again, fuck you Vuktree scum Edited May 9, 2022 by Torn Asunder 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you can't blame them when they couldn't win it outright and had to rely on us slipping up. Expect nothing less from those muppets and I am glad they came and witnessed us being crowned premiers. Reckon anything from here will be a bonus! I am personally wrapped we got the Prem plate and ACL again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewConvert Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 I just hope that PK allows the team to rest and recuperate. it's 11 days till the next game and they need to be properly conditioned for the next game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 @bt50What is the set-up this season? Wasn't it abbreviated last season? Do we play the winner of 5 vs. 6 and MV play the winner of 3vs. 4? And then the two winners go straight to the GF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it will be out of Wellington, Adelaide and Mariners. We won't play Western United or Victory until the grand final if we make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does this mean that Victory will need to face Western United if they beat Wellington (assuming City win their final)? If so then perhaps WU could eliminate Victory thus improving our chances of winning the GF whilst still guaranteeing an all Victorian GF.

Central Coast and Adelaide away are both tough assignments though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory the old format was 1st vs 2nd home and away playoff. The winner advanced to the grand final and the loser played off against the winner of 3rd and 4th. This format was ran when only 4 teams made the finals in the early years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I'm sure we do, but I don't see any advantage anymore for being the top team. Before the advantage was you play a home final. Now it gives the lower ranked team more opportunity from how I look at it. Edited May 15, 2022 by n i k o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
