Best of Round Twelve:
Player: Mark Bridge, Newcastle - started ahead of Milton Rodriguez and was instrumental in Newcastle's dominating performance, scoring a great how-do-you-do volley and setting-up Nick Carle for another with a nice flick out the back
U-20 Player: Kristian Sarkies, Melbourne - hopefully a glimpse of more to come
Coach: Terry Butcher, Sydney - finally seems to have worked out how to get Petrovski and Zdrilic on the park together
Match: Newcastle United vs Central Coast Mariners
Goal: Grant Brebner - unmarked, but a game-winning shot from outside the area, so he gets the nod ahead of Petrovski's low-drive, Bridge's powerful volley and Mori's looping header
4-4-2 Team of the Week:
Mark Bridge - Carl Veart
Adrian Webster - Ufuk Talay - Fred - Joel Griffiths
Alvin Ceccoli - Michael Valkanis - Jamie Harnwell - Wayne O'Sullivan
Tommi Tomich
Subs: Robert Bajic, Steve Eagleton, Grant Brebner, Sasho Petrovski

Apart from a few good balls I thought Sarkies had pretty average game, though with the way Perth were playing it was hard for him to get time on the ball in midfield.
No Roar players eh James?
Veart gets a shirt for converting, yes I'd pay that. Glad you didn't give one to Dodd who was happy to commit a professional foul to ensure his team won and to end Miron's run. No that's probably unfair, that prize should go to the great effort of Paul Nevin a week earlier. And his reward? Another early coaching bath.
I agree with anonymous on Perth's 'ground out' game style. Making it hard for players to entertain the crowd. I was really glad Melbourne managed to score on 88. It showed negative football can backfire.
What about the Socceroos James? All those shots on goal. Haven't seen that before. They looked they the Roar ;) Arnold was very happy.
