Despite a shaky start, Baro has been absolutely brilliant.

Goes for most of the team. Starting to gel really well together.

st
Certainly has adjusted to the A-League faster than Contreras did.

What do you all make of Ingham? Big impact off the bench again with the ball to play through Rojas which lead to the 2nd, seems to have the knack for picking the right pass or delivering a pin point cross where so many others butcher it,

Don't think Ingham has put in a bad shift for us, last year in the HAL he put in some fantastic crosses and made an impact in the ACL.

Think he'd challenge, if not start for a lot of teams in the league.

Also makes you wonder if there are much more like him in the state leagues that just need an opportunity.

Good but inconsistent. He also created a decent opportunity for City with a loose backwards pass tonight. If he works on his concentration could be an excellent player. Would say he has a bit more to offer than Austin tbh.

The less minutes Mahazi gets the better we look.

Amaze.

Rate him - has size and pace and tracks back as well.

Right now, probably best suited as our super-sub - he's still relatively young and needs to show consistency when he does have the occasional opportunity to start.

That he gets on the park ahead of Beister in tonight's game is a testament to how hard he's worked, even though he didn't get that many chances last season.

I thought tonight was one of Musky's quietest games too, suprised when JP was sent.

what a xmas present get the fak in mate !

rewatching the derby as i missed out last night.. ffs they cant even sell out a home derby what a joke

Ingham is an awesome asset to the team. Is developing wonderfully.

Chicken dinner is not putting a foot wrong. When austin comes back  we will have a headache . Which  seems to keep everyone on  their toes 

Ingham is a mile ahead of Austin IMO.

This... our recent results directly correlate to mahazis downturn in minutes.

Ingham has been absolutely fantastic as a sub for us. His crosses in the air have been better than probably any other winger we've had, which is to say he's not terrible at them.

Having said that, and while he's been better than Pain was and Austin is currently for us, there's a big difference when starting and trying to make an impact against a fresh defense.

I think Ingham is the perfect example of what the FFA intended to happen with the 'Mature Rookie' cap exemption. With FBK more than likely gone at the end of the season, has a real chance to step up and make the position his own. Like loki said, still a tad inconsistent at the moment.

Donachie has been grouse, and he's got a healthy dose of dickhead about him to be a mongrel on the field - loved it when he first got stuck into Bouzanis, and then just came flying on to the field to close down an attack and just copped the yellow. Ansell may have lost his spot for the immediate future with how well Donachie has been playing tbh.

Stella back to South Melbourne lol.

Baffling, he fits nowhere into our best team, current wingers and attacking mids are all better. Has this guy ever scored a goal? We had him when he was 16 and showed great promise but he never kicked on.

Just a heads up for anyone considering buying a ticket at the gate, this round (the post Christmas game) usually has a big walkup crowd that makes it a real pain in the arse to buy tickets there.

Not to mention the Boxing Day test will cause plenty of chaos for traffic around Richmond. Pubs should have a pretty sweet atmosphere though all through the day pre-game.

Anyone tried upgrading their ticket as a member for the Geelong game? Saw nothing on ticketmaster.

My mate and I did it successfully.

It's going to be very sad when we lose Marco again at the end of the season.

few dozen probably

Pretty sure he's on a 2 year deal, so if we do lose him we should at least get a decent payout.

True, but I'm prepped to enjoy every minute we have with him for now.

Did you do it online?

Geting over the old guard  of the terrace. Ive been readimg some of their posts  and they are getting to delusion  stage. 

Disappointing that Galloway and Pain were booed at times, even more disappointing were the c*nts up the back row of the NT.
