Melbourne were the better side for most of the match with the visiting side pushing forward and providing the troops at every opportunity. Perth were not connecting passes or were simply too slow in moving the ball around and Victory were able to negate any challenges. However much like Perth's performances in their last home match against Brisbane not so long ago did have moments of brilliance and were able to stun Melbourne's defence and delight the 3900 odd crowd.
Hersi's work rate was a major positive and combined with Thwaite's defending, Dulbic's tough no-nonsense approach and Keogh's deft skills caused all sorts of issues for Melbourne. Barbarouses was causing a lot of problems for Perth down the flank which was a concern but when Da Silva came on combined with Jamieson, Risdon and Maclaren working hard the match was taken to extra time and Perth won 4-2.
nib never fails in the food department. Why you ask? (of even bother to ask) ;) Well the drinks are stupidly expensive and the food is also the same with very little in return. Once again cool drink was an insane 5 dollars with small chips at 5.70. All burgers were 10 dollars and I have forgotten how crazily priced the other items like chicken wraps were, but they had a variety of crafted pies not the Mrs Mac's style which might be a nice touch but so expensive.
My advice like always is to either eat at a local pub, restaurant before hand, fast food joint, home or even get something and smuggle it into the ground. Yes it isn't allowed or fair but why part with little change when you have to bring 50 dollar notes? I know Perth is becoming ridiculously expensive but we shouldn't have to just complain and put up with it. We have to vote with our wallets by boycotting.
