Disappointing to drop the 3 points but a great second half. The travel to the Philippines no doubt took it's toll in the end.

Was a gutsy performance spoiled by a few tired errors.

Only criticism would go towards Jackson through a lack of rotation in the past couple of games. Taking Millard, Brandtman, Duarte, Kasalovic, Windust, Larson and co to the Philippines to sit on the bench might have meant we had the energy to run that one out.

@FFC Mariner with all sides of Torres today

3 goals to give you the curse

And then caught in the middle leaves Faz exposed on the 3rd.

Agree with Mark you don’t sub a guy who has scored a hatrick but he was very tired late and it cost us.

Although Kaltak should have pushed higher and marked the scorer and not mark space

Best time to sub a guy when he scores a hattrick. You know that his focus will drop and you can give the player proper accolades as he comes off.

Angel Torres and Hat trick...cudos to him (and Nizzy for the assist)

Put your glasses on Stuart.
I didn’t say he was honking. In fact if you actually read my other comment I said he looked unplayable in th part of the game I saw.

I was making the point that others said he was horrible and next minute he scores, that an attacker can have a bad game and still score goals. As a defensive player can have a blinder and 1 error costs a goal.

Maybe when you catch up to the later comment ??‍♂️

A few years ago all we were asking for was a team who would try, who we could be proud of.

Those players left nothing on the field. Look at the numbers collapsed on the field at full time. Gutsy performance.

We may not win this year but we are going to be competitive and will be there at the end.

He's only just being told (not suggested) to shoot
I’m not sure that’s 100%. I recall many times monty reacted as miffed as the rest of us that he didn’t shoot at times.

It seems unlikely that professional coaches have not been encouraging him to back himself in those sorts of positions. More likely it’s a confidence thing on the players part.

Done plenty of Melbourne away's where we've been beaten comfortably and deserved to lose. This one we fully deserved to win. So bloody frustrating. This was our win and was stolen away from us. God l am sad. Draw that feels like a loss.
Was definitely a painful one, though a bit less then when we coughed up a 3 goal lead in Geelong.

Considering the travel a point is a good result.

We look supremely fit. Plastics were labouring and it was premium weather to play.
