MELBOURNE CITY

Eugene Galekovic – 6

Sloppy for Barbarouses’ goal, caught at his near-post from a tight angle. Came out quickly and looked predictably alert after that.

Ritchie de Laet – 6

Moments of quality scarcely interrupted a general ineffectiveness. Didn’t press forward enough.

Scott Jamieson – 7

Composed second half performance, albeit a few wasted crosses, recycling possession and adding a little more emphasis to what can be a fairly tepid City philosophy. You always notice when Jamieson’s on the ball, put it that way.

Bart Schenkeveld – 8

Boy oh boy do they need to sort out his contract. He’s 27-years-old and at his peak, the best defender in the league. He’s not a bums-on-seats marquee, but he is a marquee.

Curtis Good - 7

You can see why Joyce continues to play Good despite a few disciplinary or injury issues, he has fantastic physical ability. Could easily be a Socceroo in the future if he stays on the park.

Rostyn Griffiths - 7

One absolute belter that every neutral was hoping would sneak inside, inspiring Brattan in the process. He played a very disciplined match after City took the lead.

Luke Brattan - 8

Typical Brattan; edgy, physical, confrontational, almost scored a wordly. It’s getting to the point where you could almost copy and paste this rating every week.
