Victory will no doubt be minus their keeper

I do like Queensland, but I think they're going to be in for a rough year. Melbourne are red hot and I daresay it'll be 2 or 3 to 1.

To make a call: Melbourne 2 (Muscat and Thompson) def. Queensland 1 (Miller)

2 nil QLD, woot! Good to get a win on the board.

f**k me we need some practice at finishing. Should have been about 5 nil with the amount of squandered chances we had. Reinaldo & Van Dijk both choked one on one with the keeper. Miller missed 2 golden volley chances.

What did Hernandez get that second yellow for? f**k me that was puzzling

diving apparently, was a rough call though.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Can Melbourne please play a game without going down to 10 men???

FFS that's 3 in a row now for 1W 1D and 1L

 

[Twizzle]

perhaps they should just start with 12 every week

diving apparently, was a rough call though.

seen worse gone unpunished or the other way. whilst i do appreciate refs taking a stance and calling against diving so it doesnt end up a farce like the epl, this was probably the wrong one to call.

i thought this game would die out to a nil-all draw... our finishing is deadset woeful. Charlies 2 volleys over the bar, serg twice hitting the woodwork, and reinaldo and serg both missing one on ones, seo just catching a deflection.... anyone would think the roar were playing at Suncorp............
