Very well deserved point, happy with 4 points in the bag as have played 2 top teams and even toffee's now winning.
Thought defence coped well and have to mention Bogle, another top performance.
Longstaff was fantastic, he out shone Stach who was just ok for me.
James not on it yet, he was like that in prem last time but was fantastic in championship, hope he can step up.
I don't rate BA, should have been sold but not going to leave and Farke loves him.
DCL looked good but still need a quality striker in and a CMF.
Can we bring in a couple, go for El Khan, Buedia or even Hamer now as then a striker.
Tick tick tick.

Following on from that Melb Aussie player rating.
Perri. 6. Coped ok with a toothless attack.
Bogle 9. Just incredible game. As said before despite opti logic of square and round. Has to be worth am punt
Rodon. 8. Solid One of his best games I reckon.
Struik 7.8. Good game too.
Gundy. 7.5. Got up and down well.
Gruev. 8. All over the place.
Long. 8.5. Def hs best game. Keep it up lad.
Stach 6.5. Hopefully he improves after break.
Gnonto. 8.5. Constant threat
James. 5. Not fit or peaked in champ.
Namecheck. 3. Stay on your feet. Reminded me of permy mark hughes. Always falling over.
Farke. 4. Wrong subs. Wrong time. Looked lost.

another plus Ausman is that Harvey Barnes didn't scored against us.

And people said Gruev couldn't play at this level!
Additionally, Farke's tactics were spot on, in nullifying the threat of Guimares in possession. He was close down rapidly every time the ball went near him. For all the complaints about plans b, c and d, these tactical tweaks are just as vital.
Imo, the subs were timed perfectly to give high energy back to the team, in critical outlets, and both BA and JH did fairly well in all aspects of their play! Better than Elanga anyway!

Yes revie. I was thinking when Barnes came on here comes a goal.

Agree re Barnes. Was dreading it.
