Mirko Boland - 7

Terrific defending pickpocketing Petratos and to spring the counter attack. Boland and Isaias employed a terrific pressing game on the tired legs of Newcastle. 

George Blackwood - 5

Blackwood worked his way into the game but it was a tough night for the striker. His run was either the wrong one or the pass into the box was behind him. 

Craig Goodwin - 5.5

Adelaide's creative quality was off the pace with his crossing unable to hit any targets and capitalise on their pressure of Newcastle. Goodwin skipped past a sliding Boogard into the box and slammed a shot into the crossbar adding to his frustrations. 

Jordy Thomassen - 4.5

Thomassen was working the space well whilst dropping in although he was kept in the corner by Boogard and Topor-Stanley. 

Ryan Kitto - 6.5

Ryan Kitto looks to be enjoying playing alongside Jordy Thomassen who is working the space between defence and midfield where he can penetrate. A number of chances sprung up for Adelaide with Kitto stretching the defence. 

SUBS

Ken Ilso -

Ilso couldn't provide any sparks for Adelaide to find a winner. Along with Thomassen and Blackwood, he was indeed sparkless. 

Vince Lia - N/A

Nathan Konstandopoulos - N/A
