James Troisi – 5.5

Troisi often looked to pick up the play deep and create whilst moving forward, but was quickly taken out of the match as Adelaide began to dominate once they levelled the match. He wasn’t too effective.

Kosta Barbarouses – 6

The Kiwi winger was decent without being fantastic. He was restricted with how many runs he made but has a good partnership with Jason Geria on the right flank, overlapping each other often.

Leroy George – 7

An energetic start down the left side, George constantly ran and looked ahead. He swung in the cross for Berisha’s header and has very nice shape on his set pieces and long balls.

Besart Berisha – 6.5

Great header to open the scoring; got off his man, read the cross and knocked it in beautifully. Involved as ever, getting himself cautioned after scuffling with Elsey before the break. Might be in hot water during the week for shoving the fourth official.

Mitch Austin – 7

An effective substitute for Kevin Muscat. He came on for Leroy George and levelled the game at 2-2 when a ball kindly ricocheted towards him as Adelaide defenders were sprawled on the ground.

Jai Ingham – N/A

Came on in the 92nd minute, didn’t do enough to warrant a rating.
