The make up game for the earlier cancelled fixture at Spotless Stadium would help bring parity to the draw, but that was the only reference to a draw either side wanted. For the home side a win would lift them clear of seventh with a game in hand, while the visitors just had to win at all costs if they were any chance of playing finals football this year and bring meaning to their season.
Goran Paracki – 4
Chased the ball all night between opposition defenders and rarely got on the ball himself.
Nathan Burns – 3
Nicknamed ‘Powderfinger’ for the night as he was a Passenger. Was walking from about the 65th minute.
Milos Ljujic – 5
Tried hard to be the creative outlet the ‘Nix have been craving but his midfield teammates couldn’t win enough ball for him to have an effect. Lovely looping corner with the last kick of the first half but Kaluderovic couldn’t capitalize.
Michael McGlinchey – 4
Starved of any ball and therefore couldn’t contribute anything positive. Subbed before the hour.
Andrijia Kaluderovic – 4
Given absolutely no ball for all of the first half which may have explained his shocking miss in time added on. Cut a forlorn figure for most of the match as he waited for service.
SUBS
Scott Galloway – 5.5
Came on for the injured Daniel Mullen and got forward more than his teammates but lacked quality distribution or finishing.
Adam Parkhouse – 4
Operated down the left flank but had about as much influence as the weather on this one.
Monty Patterson – 5
First minutes since signing for the ‘Nix. May be given more now that their season is beyond saving.
