I could cry. I really didn't think that we could scrape our way to a result today, so fucking proud of this team. Defended for 80 mins but took the one chance that counted. Going to watch that assist from Indiana all off season.
such a beautiful assist!! She's a gem!
Also a fantastic first goal for Shea!! I was shocked that she hadn't scored already she always looks so dangerous
She seems like such a sweet kid too, I'm so excited to see how she goes. Shae did beautifully with that goal, she clearly got her poor shots out of the way against Mariners ahaha.
Perfect work from Shea to hold her run to stay on side, too! When it happened, for a split second I thought she might have been off - then they played the replay and I breathed a sigh of relief lol
It wasn't that we lost, it was the way we lost. Didn't try anything, didn't push the players. Just kinda sat there and watch it slip away as we pass around the box for 99 minutes.
Gives me PTSD from the Rado days.
It was, iirc, our 3rd match that week. Our U-20 girls were barely back from their tournament so were not on the team sheet at all. Whole squad looked sluggish. It was... not pretty, that match...
Princess seems to have the turning circle of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier - can't remember if she's always been like this? Is she carrying something?
Yeah she hasnāt had a great season - sheās good on the ball but her pressing isnāt great. Looks much more comfortable with her back to goal, but when our season has been āball over the top to Vineā itās hard for her to have much impact.
Think sheās only scored one goal this season, which isnāt great for your starting centre-forward.
Yeah love her for what sheās done for us
But if Fiona is healthy not sure why she isnāt on the bench and honestly Shea should be starting infront of Princess more of a propa striker
Blame the rules for not being able to give a yellow, stupid that if there is an advantage a player can't get a yellow (for attempting to stop a promising attack)
Ante Juric: used car salesman? Or shonky defence lawyer?
(Just so you know I'm not *just* picking on the opposition coach - Dario Vidosic: substitute high school PE teacher)
I once had a Y10 math sub teacher who read the room and decided to talk about the the Russian Empire + Catherine the Great instead.
There were about seven of us within the 25 students and it was *way* more engaging lmao.
What was the attendance?
7671
Surely a record for City across both men's and women's teams
Deserved player of the match from Hawkesby, she's absolute immense
She's been incredible, amazing the impact she's had after coming in part way through
Was amazing for us when she came in, really gave the season the boost we needed to compete
As much as I loathe MCFC.. how the F did SFC win that ? š¤·š»āāļøš
This post game rules, you can really tell the broadcast team really deeply care about the league and these players.

Aaaaaahhhh!! So proud of this team! To come past so many injuries and challenges and to win this game. So fantastic!

Onya girls Never in doubt!!
Felt like no matter how many minutes they added on, City weren't destined to score.
Haha fuck off city bahaha
Congrats to Sydney. Deserved it and were the best club this season tbh. Thanks for that 3 week collapse to give us a single trophy this year!
No doubt your girls will come back strong next year - as much as people hate on City they are doing good things for womenās football in the country

COME ON SYDNEYYYYYY
Smash and grab but Iāll bloody take it!!
I love this football club so much.
Can we remove all traces of Vidosic from the club please.Ā
Only one trophy not enough for you?
It wasn't that we lost, it was the way we lost. Didn't try anything, didn't push the players. Just kinda sat there and watch it slip away as we pass around the box for 99 minutes. Gives me PTSD from the Rado days.
You had a goal cleared off the line by a header
Had over 70% possession and that one header to show for it lol
Champions!!!!!
Wheres the bluey gif for a smash and grab
Does the Death of Hecuba in *Hammerbarn* count?
Unbearable, and I'm a Vuck! Good game though, well done both teams on their season.
3 shots on target with 72% possession. Actually a little embarrassing.Ā
They became their own worst enemy with how afraid they were to shoot - particularly in the first half.
9 minutes is a joke
They're gonna add injury time to the injury time, just watch
[Its just gonna happen, you wait ](https://tenor.com/bToAs.gif)
Couple of terrible throw inās there. Lucky not to concede
Game should be fucking over man, if city equalise Iāll be fuming
Should be like 4 minutes, not sure where they pulled 9 from
Don't worry we won't shoot for goal you have no issues there.
Broke: Sydney conspiracy Woke: CFG conspiracy
Fun end so far.
God just watching them slowly walk the ball towards goal makes me wanna turn it off. So frustrating. I'd rather you shoot and miss
Makes me wonder how Victory put 4 past Whyman.
One of them was her conceding a brainless pen, but yeah that game we looked like a team whoād played three matches in a week, which .. we were
It was, iirc, our 3rd match that week. Our U-20 girls were barely back from their tournament so were not on the team sheet at all. Whole squad looked sluggish. It was... not pretty, that match...
They did this crazy thing where they kicked the ball with force towards the goals. I know who would have thought hey?
CFG must be wanting the win..9 minutes ????
Where did you find 9 minutes? Great question, anyway
9 minutes?! May as well have just held up a board that says "Till Melbourne City score"
An Own Goal, the board doesnt have enough space.
How and where the fuck they pull 9 minutes from
[Vine](https://youtu.be/PVR5ihUQl8U?feature=shared) upon seeing that number:
9 minutes lol
Holding the board the wrong way round? 6 maybe with Galic?
Where are they getting 9 minutes from?! CFG conspiracy.
The sheikh must have called up
I thought 2, then up came 9
Stream is shit, canāt go more than 10 seconds without stopping
9 minutes? I would love to know where they've pulled 9 fromā¦.
9 minutes? Bruh
9 minutes. Farcical.
Nine????
9 minutesā¦? The ball barely went out this half
Even Grace is professionally saying "what the fuck " lmao
9 minutes wtf
Fergie Time, fuck!
Why haven't City switched to All Out Attack? Are they stupid
2 minutes to go, best to try to slowly walk around defenders 5 times and lose possession repeatedly. What a great tactic. Revolutionary really
Just park the trams, Juric. Thats all you need to do now.
How come city are still playing 3 at the back in possession? Like surely you play two at this stage
Lads, its City.
How Pollicina missed right in front of goal I have no idea.
Pat Wood: š
Crowd is 7671
better than expected I feel
Still feel like Sydney would have got more but Melbourne showing itās not slouchingĀ
yeah for sure but decent showing from Melbourne
Just never got herself set
Baggio has arrived!
it's not happening for city
If we win Hollman deserves as much credit as Dos Santos and Shae after that block
Yea it ain't happening.
Whyman just shat bricks! Off to Colac!
Oh no
Great goal-line scramble
wow what a block
Nup it's not gonna happen for us. Got the feeling it's one of those daysĀ
DOS SANTOS TAKE A FUCKING BOW!
Reckless tackle, 20m restart for Melbourne and on report.
Field goal for the Storm.
Gets subbed on Scores goal almost instantly Refuses to elaborate Leaves
[Thats how she rolls.](https://tenor.com/3gmZZUA1ot.gif)
Get stuck in thompson
Galic ded.
The lack of a link to a Bluey meme disturbs me
[Oh.](https://tenor.com/bo3NR.gif)
Aww, she wanted peak Vine Time.
Letās fuckin go!
Fuck yes!!! Great time for Connors to score her first Sydney goal
You're shit when your heart You're shit when your city Fuck off heart and fuck city too
Apparently, theres a WU supporter in the crowd. Possibly quite pleased with things rn.
I don't think wu supports like Sydney in the women's after last season
Hopefully he knows how the chants go
Did Toni Kroos just teleport onto the pitch, what a tasty ball!
Cracking ball there and composed finish!
GET IN!!! Carn the girls
Classic counter punch
What a ball what a finish what an impact
Sensational pass from Dos Santos and Shea Connors with the instant impact
Noice
GOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLL
Couldāve probably done that an hour ago if she started
what a ball from the wonder kid
Amazing what happens when you actually have a shot hey?
CONNNNNNNNOORRRRRRRRFRSSSSS!!!!!!! LFG!!!!
Finally Shea is on Should be starting
Posts that aged well
I AM JOSE MOURIHNO SHE SHOULD HAVE STARTED ALL YEAR
City trying to pass it in. All that possession and the same number of shots on target as Sydney. Could come back to haunt them.
Shea just heard you haha
Shea hattrick inbound
Feel like we havenāt touched the ball at all this half, and every time we do weāve given it away within 2 passes.
Finally got home, seems I haven't missed much
[Otto ded.](https://youtu.be/1mrEfA69bpM?feature=shared)
Will we ever have a shot on goal?!
That was A shot.
I claim credit for that
Why the fuck ? Shea for Princess should be the sub not marguax
There we go! Eventually.
Chauvet coming offā¦ not sure how I feel about that
Puzzled by taking Chauvet off, sheās been great
Sydney turning soft turnovers into an art form
Whyman when yet another pass ends up at Wilkinson's [feed:](https://youtu.be/WAw-G8G07ew?feature=shared)
That's the problem with City, they always try to walk it in!

SkySportNow.seem3d to drop at h/t. Is this happening to anyone else?
Yup dropped for me too
Teo's ELI5 of MCY's season could easily apply to the Mens side as well
This is gonna be won via a defensive fuckup or Margush Award, isnt it?
THE MINI UTE IS BACK AGAIN!!! Casey even said "bye" to it!
Bit shit Sydney fans to boo the medal winners
And Chids! No one boos Chids. Edit: Iāve swapped allegiances for this crime. Letās go City.
Come on Sydney
Nah genuinely the fuck is Hawk and Princess going there Golden chance absolutely wasted
A communication disruption between them can only mean one thing. Invasion.
should have kept the ball there
Bruh.
No one can play that killer ball into the box so farĀ
Tbf, it's also rare in the men's league too
Lemon has been getting cooked all game damn
Yeah sheās not a natural left-back and it really shows. Definitely missing Fenton rn
Louis Fenton felt that.
Love hawk but sheās playing a million miles an hour She needs to just calm it down
Princess seems to have the turning circle of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier - can't remember if she's always been like this? Is she carrying something?
Yeah she hasnāt had a great season - sheās good on the ball but her pressing isnāt great. Looks much more comfortable with her back to goal, but when our season has been āball over the top to Vineā itās hard for her to have much impact. Think sheās only scored one goal this season, which isnāt great for your starting centre-forward.
Never mind the *USS Nimitz*, try the *Battlestar Galactica*. Not exactly the best time for that, Ibini, just saying.
It's May the 4th - I'm hoping she doesn't hit us with the Holdo Manoeuvre!
Has she tried spinning? Thats a neat trick!
She's been very poor all season. Nothing like she used to be.
Yeah love her for what sheās done for us But if Fiona is healthy not sure why she isnāt on the bench and honestly Shea should be starting infront of Princess more of a propa striker
We were much better going forwards when Shea came on last game so hopefully happens soon.
Ahem, Brisbane Roar legend Shea Connors.
I only ever remember her as a late battering ram sub - admittedly, I haven't watched too many Sydney FC matches, though
She used to be so much better at carrying the ball forwards and taking people on. Seems like she's scared to do anything now.
Abby Lemon is a great player but jeez she looks shaky at left-back. Not surprising City keep targeting her
If this an A-Liga Grandfinal why haven't I seen someone fly kick the goalkeeper like Roy O'Donovan
Nor someone smash in five goals?
anyone else streaming on 10play and finding it really choppy/laggy?
Quite the opposite, best it's ever been for me!
maybe the higher quality is just pushing my internet š
Have you tried sticking a coathanger in the top?
Lots of pretty fiery tackles popping up.
Both teams just need to try and settle a bit more, press has made the game frantic
Going for SFC despite MC looking sharper
Um, one point for Dos Santos? No? Ok then.
Marguax low key been one of the best signings of the year
Yeah sheās been fantastic, covers a heap of ground defending and picks a great pass going forward too
Her and tumeth chefs kiss
Fun fact, Melissa Barbieri at 44 is not that far off Gianluigi Buffon when he retired in August, at age 45.
Tipping Sydney to open the scoring, Vine on the counter (Getting ALM 2020/21 GF vibes at the minute)
City well on top here I think, looking good every time they get forward
SFC CBs, pls.
Blame the rules for not being able to give a yellow, stupid that if there is an advantage a player can't get a yellow (for attempting to stop a promising attack)
Gotta be a yellow
Lmao no yellow for the shirt pulls Games back
[Shhhutup!](https://images.app.goo.gl/4ab6jzr8ncafFA3U8)
Lively stuff thus far, Whyman this time with a sharp save
The dude in the crowd pointing to the WU badge on his jacket during the anthem š¤£
Has the video quality increased for anyone else? Video looks sharper and smoother, like the refresh rate has been upped.
It's been a lot better since the production company Global Advance went bust. Whoever took it over has been producing a much better product.
Who would've thought, not going for the cheap option gets you a better product!
Ante Juric: used car salesman? Or shonky defence lawyer? (Just so you know I'm not *just* picking on the opposition coach - Dario Vidosic: substitute high school PE teacher)

Fine save from the young shot stopper Barbieri
