Re: How's the Roar when Andy Collins kicked the Last?

It was freaking loud for a 25k crowd. Very similar to that Brisbane game in 2008. The place was going nuts.


I just watched the second half of that game on youtube. The difference - in that that team I thought there were blokes who let themselves and the club down by putting in a gutless performance for every heroic one. Not these kids. Love em.

The only thing watching it again that I regret is that Richie Tambling hasn't kicked on. There were a few times back then that he looked like he might explode.

I wonder how much Richie has been playing through injury this year and how that has affected his form or dip in it. I heard he played with a jab in his knee last week against the Swans. It wasn't that much of a surprise to see him drop out before the game last night.
