Reinaldo, Van Dijk and Nichols where way too strong for Adelaide's defence. Reinaldo and Van Dijk's one touch passing was fantastic to watch. We need to see more of this at home. Mitch scored a cracker that hit the bar, bounced in - behind the line, then out. Play on.
Dodd set-up a dummy from Mitch to leave for a curling left footer from van Dijk - 0-2 and Van Dijk's 7th of the season.
Hapless Owlosu came on late to miss a hand ball penalty - got jeered by 11,000 of his own fans for the rest of the game.
I think Adelaide will blame the ref for this one. But really after years on being on the wrong end of Adelaide great escapes, Brisbane deserved to with. Karovic came on late to play his last game for the Roar. I think this means Murdocca is coming back - or Zullo. Henrique can't be that far away now.
So what is Ange going to do about the 5 Brisbane yellow cards all for minor discipline issues? He said if he'd been coach earlier in the season - now's his chance.

Agree with most of what you have written - except I would have written "Dodd pass misses intended target, Nichols and ends up wth Van Dijk"
Ange definitely has us playing at a slower tempo. Tiatto very quiet. Van Dijk's touches in the second half were real quality.
Good win - about time we won a game when we didn't absolutely dominate.
thanks OC
Mitch may well have heeled it on.
some random questions -
whats wrong with zullo again? its been so long since he was on the field i forgot why it was.
how was moore? ever since the last sfc v brisbane game i saw, i was pretty sure he wasn`t the best centreback in the comp any more.
the slower tempo that orange crush mentioned - is this a good thing or a bad thing?
didn`t watch the game - i watched vic v ccm yesterday though. david dodd still gets game time? that makes me a sad puppy. there isn`t a defensive mid somewhere at state league level who couldn`t do a better job?

Hi Clayton san
Some random answers:
'whats wrong with zullo again? its been so long since he was on the field i forgot why it was.'
I understand it is osteitis pubis. This put Reinaldo out for a season. Lots and lots of players seem to get it. It can dog careers. The club keeps saying he is coming back. Maybe even the next game. But for a running winger not a good injury. He is Roar's marquee youth and has only played 40mins this year. The only positive is the other choice Minniecon hasn't played much more at Gold Coast and he is relatively fit.

'how was moore? ever since the last sfc v brisbane game i saw, i was pretty sure he wasn`t the best centreback in the comp any more.'
He was OK. Ange praised him after the game. Sadly I think we have seen his best. A shame given he is the Roar's marquee. Next year it could be Van Dijk.
'the slower tempo that orange crush mentioned - is this a good thing or a bad thing?'
Less entertaining but got the result. Right now being last and fun would be worse than 6th and boring.

Mate, he setup van Dijk' second goal. While Karlovic seems to be going to Adelaide (lucky him hometown and ACL), Murdocca's return may cost Dodd his spot. At least he has played more than his brother Karl this sesason.
