Massive result. That takes AU up to third on the table!

How many 'NAB' man of the match award has Isa got now? Must be more than half.

Bolter for the World Cup?

Given more time on the pitch, I would have given O'Doherty a vote too, but as it stands Isa standout, then a handful of players who lifted for this game.

Was good to see OD back out there. I'm disappointed Kurz does not rate him. Very tidy young player. Better technique than Konst but probably not the strong body that Kurz is after in his players.

It is unclear if Isaias will be eligible in time to play at the World Cup, I think it is highly unlikely.

In an interview he said March he would be a citizen thus eligible.

I think it depends on the new NT coach. Will he be a HAL recycle who is looking for known quantities or will he be a fresh overseas coach looking at his best options in the entire pool. Isaias is better than Milligan and Jedinak is a massive injury risk.

If Gombau had of been named Ange's predecessor I think it would have been more likely.

I saw that interview. He said he would apply in March but seemed rather unsure about whether March was the right month.

Isaias put in more poor passes than last week that could have been costly.

His work on the ball is immense though.

Gulum and elsey made some fantastic tackles, gulum seems to know how to push the absolute limit abd get away with a few.

Strain is playing so well that i cant see him being here next season. The only way he stays with us next season is if he has socceroos ambitions and needs to stay in the country to be eligible.

I voted for Isaias, Baba and Nikola.

Isa was immense as usual.

Baba caused Perth heaps of problems especially in the air. Was unlucky not to score and could've possibly scored a couple if he played the full 90.

Nikola played well especially on the wing although he went missing a bit when playing up front. His assist was class and kept his composure and waited for Adlung to finish his run. Last season/start of this season, he would have panicked and blasted it across the box and out for a throw in.

It was also great to see Konsta score his first goal as well as Absalonsen scoring and getting an assist despite being nowhere near full fitness.

Baba was not unlucky not to score, he failed to execute his header properly, nothing to do with luck.
