I was more confident of beating City than Nix. After SFC and Glory I recon this is the next best team in the Comp. 

The Nix to continue their fine form 3-1.

Roar 0-4 Nix

Lets hope not :laugh:

4-1 Nix. 

1-3 Nix.

Can’t have this. 

I'm going with the 3-1 to the Nix too.  Reflects the difference in quality between the two sides.

I'm tipping the Nix for the Championship.  I reckon that by finals time, they will have the wood on Sydney.

Bold prediction. 

Tell you the truth I think we will see a different Roar this game playing well. Nix have a few players out so who knows?.

Phoenix have had players out for a few games now. Had four starting players out last game and still won 2-0. Ball is hopefully back and we're finally starting to get good minutes out of our marquee so we should win it, but it's the A-League and even Sydney's lost a game this season so anything's possible.

Like the Nix this season, and cannot see Roar winning. 1 - 1 might be possible - hoping !!!! lol.

With Aldred out and Neville doubtful, roar are going to need a major re-shuffle in defence which won't help there cause against wellington. Inman looks class and i wouldn't be surprised if he scores again. 3-1 Nix 

2-1 Nix

Game on! If Roar win this there deff top 6 contention, if Nix win there top 2 for sure.

Oh FFS, the Nix are the fta game of the week yet again ?

Thanks new ffa...

"Oh FFS, the Nix are the fta game of the week yet again"

Good! One of the better teams to watch.

Nix been good but they gotta lose soon, surely!

with Aldred out.....hmmmm...... difficult. 

442 today is a maybe safer bet. ???

RF sticking with 352. 

The Ajohn derby

live game on the ABC
looks like a state league game

Credit where it is due.  BR have improved somewhat over the past few weeks.  

Still average. If anyone deserves credit it’s Wellington, great team to watch atm.

They certainly are.  Sydney may be on top, however, Wellington and City are easily the most watchable teams.

Agreed!

Waz is going to love this .Lol

Wenzell Halls too good for Brisbane, he should leave for a better club who appreciate him, what a goal and nutmeg. 

DWH makes things happen.
Very tidy work to nutmeg Taylor and slot it home.

And this is what wenzell-halls does when he is given an appropriate opportunity. And he is harassing the defenders so much when not in possession as well.

Robbie take note DWH better than ODonovan overlook him at your peril and start looking at local talent more

I know it’s wet but that’s a regulation strike for Inman.
wouldve iced the game

DWH lays it on a platter for Inman and he royaly fucks it lol

Doesn't matter......

DWH adds so much to this Brisbane attack. Always in the game one way or another, he's a little terrier. Hopefully feeds off McDonalds experience.

Where is the replay.

that player just spat in his hand and held it up towards the camera to show the blood

Good spirit shown from Brisbane

How DWH is not starting every game is beyond me, finally gets some time and scores.

Both coaches keen to make adjustments and make it an interesting game ta rivalry to watch. 

ABC cut off half way through Youngs interview........poor ABC. 

Brisbane looked much better defensively today. Better picking up of players making attacking runs. Looked better organised. 

Was Aldred not being there a benefit?

Good upset !

Much improved from Brisbane. McDonald will be a great pick up for them.

Well my prediction of 1 - 1 was a bit off as to other posts where there was pessimism.

Wenzal Halls should start and better still - long term contract. Just my 1Cents worth

With all the shit the Roar and RF haters have been throwing, I just noticed that Roar have only lost 4 games.!!

so defence can't be as bad as what some kept raving on about. 

For a change Roar making their own luck in games. 

Lost 5, but you are right, roar are looking better, id say they are making their own luck with DWH today at least.

Good on Roar for the win, But Nix should have dicked it 4 nil tbh.

Probably would have if Piscopo was playing. 

Thought we were by far the better team, but that's football. Well done to Brisbane.

Not too worried if we keep playing like that. With Ball and Piscopo coming back, we're a more potent team.

Yep I'll agree nix probably had the better of most of the game but it did swing a bit. 

Brisbane had s good period where this time they got something and this hadn't necessarily been happening for them. 

Good pressure from nix at the finish which was tactically interesting as both coaches showed their desire to make changes to attempt to gain an advantage. Well done both coaches. They both made good tactical changes. 

In long periods you were. We had a big job to get something out of this game and earned some luck.

A couple of inches and you have another couple of goals.

Young huge again for us - especially the offside save.

Bloody nerve wracking last 20 minutes as you piled the pressure on.

Good game.

I think you were the better side, but it still took you until the second half to get a shot on target. 

Good to finally get another clean sheet. Well done 

Roars 100th in 392 regular season games 

It has been a long season!

Well done Roar. Defended well and nullified the Nix danger players. DWH took his chance well and Young made some great saves at the end. Looked like tough conditions and Hooper seemed to struggle in the heat and humidity. Nix really didn't get enough shots on target to make there periods of dominance count. Inman will be one very relieved player,  to hang on for the win after that shocking miss.
